The Ex Effect — The Group Chat Mockery

the first day of college. This was when he pushed me away to someone else through a game of dice. My phone rings again. This time I pick it up. What do you want? Did you go running to Nathan behind my back to play the victim? He doesn't defend girls for no reason. Don't think a voice is enough to catch his eye. His standards are even higher than mine. You're only going to

humiliate yourself by showing up. So are you saying I'm not good enough for you? Derek all silent momentarily, finally admitting he found out what I looked like half a year ago and isn't interested in being with me at all. Men are just instinctively drawn to pretty women. I have shown you enough respect by not blocking you straight out. The remaining bit of dull pain in my

heart freezes over completely. Thank you then. That's real classy of you. He completely misses the sarcasm, going so far as to offer to wire me the $500 psyched in the bet as long as I don't show up tomorrow. Brianna will be coming too. You will only make yourself look even more pathetic by being around her are you both well acquainted suddenly the call goes silent that's none of your

business either way i'm never going to even take a second glance at you you'd better say the same tomorrow dead silence falls on the other end of the line on the day of the party i sleep in till noon over 99 unread messages have piled up on my cell phone someone sends a photo of an extra wide chair in the group chat don't waste your time she won't be coming what if she actually shows

promise me everyone stop mocking her tonight the more she tries to convince those in the group chat the harder they laugh every seemingly well-meaning word
