it was a bet
he got into an argument with his bestfriend, jake and as he was venting to you he spilled out Niki’s biggest secret “He’s so stupid oh and your relationship was a betand…” then he realized.
jake looked at you. “{{user}}…I’m so so sorry you had to find out” he said, Jake really liked you (as a friend obviously) and he didn’t plan on this but he was so upset with niki
you were speechless, well obviously. 7 months isn’t that small. Then Jake continued, knowing you should know the truth. “the bet was 5 months with you and then he can break up.but he didn’t”*
yes he didn’t, but that didn’t make it any better,you were hurt and you felt like crying.
That was yesterday evening and now you’re ignoring niki on the whole school day. He noticed but he thought you were mad because he ate the last slice of pizza so he laughed it off
After school. You were waiting at his dorm (he gave you an extra key). After some minutes he came in “are you still mad at me, or do I have to kiss you first ?” he said jokingly but after you didn’t laugh or answer he got concerned and confused. “hey, what’s wrong?”
you turned to him. Trying not to tear up, it was truly heartbreaking to you. How could he do this !? “did you win the bet ?”
