Eleanor's Perspective-

"I can't- I just can't get the picture out of my head. He was holding hands, giggling, and blushing with Charlie. I knew he was cheating on me, but I didn't- "

I broke myself off with a sob.

"I hate him, I hate him, I hate him. I never knew what he was doing. I loved him and I thought he loved me back. He didn't seem like the guy who would play me like that!"

I started to cry into my friend's shoulder.

"Shh." She said, patting my back, "It's okay. I'm really sorry about Scott. He was a bitch."

I sniffed and wiped my eyes, "Yeah, but I really thought he was the one."

Kelly giggled, "You're not gonna find 'the one'," she used air quotes, "For a while."

"What about you and Venus?"

"I don't know...I guess we just got lucky." Kelly said awkwardly.

"But you're not always going to get that lucky." She said, "You're gonna get heartbroken and- "

"Yeah but I didn't only get heartbroken! I also got used!"

"But that's gonna happen to people."

"But..." I sighed, "I really thought me and Scott were something. What did I do wrong?"

"Hey, you did nothing wrong. Scott's just one of those bullies."

I laughed weakly, "You know? It's funny. Scott doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would do that to people. I don't know why he did."

"I never really liked him anyway." Kelly said, "Always seemed like he was up to something."

I sighed and broke apart from the hug, "Yeah, I guess you were right."

"You know what you do now?"

"Stay locked up here and try and avoid Scott as much as I can?"

Kelly rolled her eyes, "You need to warn the other guys Scott's with."

"Why?"

"Because they're gonna be like you. You would want to help them.'

"But- "

"You're going to help them. Warn them."

I sighed, "Do I have to."

Kelly smiled sincerely and said, "Yes."

I grumbled and she laughed softly.

"Come on, wouldn't you want to be warned about Scott?"

I thought about it and then nodded.

"Exactly. It's the right thing to do. Please do it."

I looked up at her and she smiled sweetly.

"Please?"

I smiled and nodded.

"Thanks Elly." She said, embracing me into a hug.

"Ugh, Kelly! You know I hate it when you call me that."

"Too bad, get over it."

I laughed and hugged Kelly back.

I was really thankful to have a friend like her.

The Next Day-

I got up and walked out into class.

I saw Charlie at his locker and I mustered up all the courage I had.

I walked up to him and tapped his shoulder.

He looked over at me and smiled.

"Oh, hello!" He said, "How can I help you?"

I blinked; he was much nicer than I had expected.

"Er- I just needed to talk to you." I said.

Charlie looked a bit concerned, "Uh- okay. What's up?"

I took a deep breath and looked him in the eyes, "Scott's not who you think."

Charlie blinked.

"Yeah...I know this is probably a lot to you, but trust me. I dated him. He's just using you for money and then he'll throw you away. But please, please get away from him."

"I- "

"I understand how this can be hard to believe but you have to trust me."

Just then, Scott walked up to us.

"Hey babe!" He smiled to Charlie before looking at me.

He wrinkled up his nose.

"What are you doing here?" He spat.

I rolled my eyes.

Charlie looked from me to Scott and back to me.

I nodded to him, and Scott looked confused.

"Come on babe, we should get to class." Scott said, reaching for Charlie's hand.

Charlie moved his hand.

"Babe?" Scott said shakily.

Charlie looked at Scott, a disgusted look painted on his face.

"I can't believe you." He snapped, "I trusted you."

He then stormed off, bumping into Scott on the way.

"Charlie!" Scott shouted, but Charlie didn't turn around.

Tears formed in Scott's eyes, and I started to feel a bit bad.

I then shook my head.

No. He deserves this.

Scott took a shaky breath and wiped his eyes.

He then turned to me, fury and pain in his eyes.

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" He shouted, "I FUCKING HATE YOU!!"

Despite me hating Scott, the words still hurt.

"How do you know I haven't changed?!" He demanded.

I scoffed, "Because you, Scott Major, are a manipulator who only cares about himself."

"I am not!"

I rolled my eyes as I walked to my class.

"And add whiney as well!" I shouted over my shoulder.

I heard a sob escape Scott's lips, and a part of me felt bad.

But it was hard to feel bad when I just shouted at the guy who broke my heart.

I smiled, looking up.

Little did I know, I might've made a bigger impact than I thought.
