Edgar, Kai and I just decided to watch RomComs from the 90s, aka my childhood. I actually always hated these type of movies as a kid, but when I became a teenage, I lived and breathed them. It was probably all because of Chloe. I mean, you've met her. She is the equivalent of a 90s RomCom. Haynes got home and just starred at us. He didn't seem annoyed or anything like that. Just starred at us.

"Haynes, you're a cute and rich boy, but my heart is sold to Kai." Edgar smiled and winked at my boyfriend.

"Is that the new 'take a picture, it'll last longer?"

He shrugged, "kind of, it's like the gay way."

Edgar and I high five, which made Haynes curious. He continued to stare. but with a more curious look. I kind of put it together that he was confused by the high five.

"Sometimes Edgar and I high five when one of us say something kind of clever or just funny." I shrugged.

"Ah, okay. Why didn't you high five when he turned an insult into a compliment?"

"Gay way just rhymed."

"And I wasn't insulting you." Edgar added.

"I'm a genius, you were."

"How high is you I.Q.?" He questioned.

"Too high for you to count."

"OOOOHHHH!!" Kai and I yelled at the same time.

"Didn't know cute rich white boys could be so savage."

Haynes put on a smug look and just shrugged. He can be such a dick.. No wonder why he gets along so well with Tweedle gay and Tweedle gayer. By the way, that's not homophobic, they literally call each other that. They'd be more offended if I called them Tweedledee and Tweedledum. Haynes walked into the kitchen and poured himself a bowl of cereal. Edgar looked offended, yet proud. But hey, I got Haynes' back because that was awesome. Kai might also have his back.

"Hey, you guys should go shopping and pick out a cute new outfit for this office party."

"Okay, don't stereotype gays. Not all of us like to go shopping." Edgar pointed out.

"I wasn't, first, I have a gay brother who isn't the whole shopping type and second I was just inviting you to the party, plus I have work tomorrow, I don't want Eliza to shop alone. Might as well go with some friends."

There's starting to be tension growing between Edgar and Haynes. I should try and defuse it, but how? If you haven't noticed, I'm not great at defusing shit. I'm actually really bad at making peace. Example one, Donnie. I said that with a big sarcastic smile by the way.

"The mall is still open, why don't we head out now?" Kai suggested.

Thank god for Kai! I love him. He's a life saver.

"Great idea. That way I could actually go to work and not piss off my co-worker tomorrow." I added and dragged the two out. We got into Edgar's car and drove off. I couldn't hep think about the tension between Edgar and Haynes. It was kind of uncomfortable. I know not all my friends are going to love Haynes as much as I do... I hope they won't, but I still want them to like him. Even if it's just a tiny bit.

I was sitting in the back seat, texting Haynes. Asking how he felt about Edgar. He asked if I wanted the truth, which is obviously never good. As much as I want my friends to like my boyfriend, I want my boyfriend to like my friends just as much. But he told me the truth. He said that he didn't care for Edgar. Which really frickin sucked. He didn't hate him, he just didn't care for him. Somehow that's way worse.

We got to the mall and walked in. The first store we stopped at had a real bitch, bitch working. It was kind of hilarious. Please note that there's nothing wrong with working at a store in the mall at the age twenty seven, I just hate this girl. Edgar and Kai tried to turn around, but it was too late. I was fully in the store, waiting for her to ask if I needed any help. She was the only employer I could see. I assume the others were in the back. This was exciting.

"You know what's fun?" Kai asked.

"Is the answer the food court, Kai?" Edgar questioned.

"Ding ding! You win Eliza buying us food!"

"Okay, lets go!" They tried to drag me away.

But this chick with long black hair and dark green eyes, wearing something only someone in seventh grade would wear. You know, the cringy emo phase. She was wearing a pink, grey and black plaid skirt with black and pink combat boots, a black t-shirt with a pink whatever thing, a My Chemical Romance rubber bracelet and black and green stripe arm warmers. It was just so bad. Kind of sad. There's nothing wrong with wearing that.. If you're in middle school.

"Could I help you with anything?" She asked with a condescending voice.

It sounded like she hated me and that was hilarious. You're probably wondering why we hate each other. Well, it goes all the way back to high school, actually like two years after graduating high school. Basically I posted something on social media saying I wasn't feeling well, but I wanted to hang out with people. And she was like "then stay home and get better." I replied with "too late my friend's already coming over." My friend was coming over with stuff to help the common cold. And she went off. She was flipping out on me, which prompted my friends to jump in. It was just a whole mess, It was like five people against her and her boyfriend. My friends called her out for cheating on her boyfriend and everyone was just so petty. I apologized for myself, but couldn't apologize to my friends. But I would say a year after that, she messages me asking to be friends again. She never apologized, only apologized for her boyfriend. I told her straight up, that I could never trust her again, I'm still waiting for her to be sincere with her apology and told her that her boyfriend needs to grow up and apologize for himself. You want to know what she did when I told her how I felt and truth? Well, I'm going to tell you anyways, she said that I didn't know what it was like to be in her situation. She made a mistake messaging me, she thought I would forgive her. I'm not going to put her "situation" on blast because it was such an embarrassing excuse. She's way older than me, she should've known right from wrong.

"I see you're still with the gays." She pointed out.

I smiled, "I see you're still not a vet. How's school going?"

"I dropped out."

"Oh I am so sorry, you know school isn't for everyone, like me, you know I dropped out. But you'll get on your feet again. I did, I now co own my dad's studio."

Could I be more passive aggressive?

"Not everyone has a dad who really loves them."

"Yeah, how is your dad?"

The answer is yes, I could.

"Still in jail, what about yours?"

"Worse, he passed away."

Kai leaned closer to Edgar, "should we do something?"

He shook his head, "no, just let them run their course. We would make it worse."

"I'm sorry about that."

"How could you have known? But anyways how's your boyfriend?"

"Well, we're engaged."

"Not married yet? I thought he was your soulmate?"

"He is. We're just waiting until we have more money."

"It's okay, not everyone can have a doctor boyfriend, like me." I took out my phone and showed her a picture of him.

I really wish Haynes was here right now. She would tell me that he's checking her out. Because literally every guy in the world is checking her out.

"Well, I have to find a dress. He invited me this party his boss is throwing. I am so excited. My life is going so well, got my dream job, dream boyfriend, dream friends, just my dream life. I'll definitely invite you the my wedding."

She passively smiled, "looking forward to it."

"Talk to you later, girl!" I said and walked over to the gays.

"By the way, I'm not checking you out, I am very gay." Edgar added with a huge smirk.

We walked away. Too be honest I walked into that store hoping she would be working. I'm not usually that petty, I just really want to be better than her. As you can see I am. But she's just a mean person. She always cares about herself and I choose not to be around that negativity. I really do love my boyfriend and friends and family, even if I just met half of them. My life is going so well and I couldn't ask for a better one. I'm genuinely happy. Some people aren't and that sucks, I honestly wish, everyone including her could be as happy as me. "Hating the world and everyone around you" isn't as fun.

We finished shopping, Edgar dropped me off at my apartment, I told them I would see them at the party and went inside. Haynes was making dinner for me and I kissed him. We smiled at each other and "love you" to each other. It's so nice coming home to someone to actually really cares about me. We ate dinner, watched a movie and then went to bed. Some days went back and we did what we always did, work, come home, eat, watch a movie and sleep. Today is the day of Haynes' boss's birthday. My life is so great. I would be selfish to ask for me.
