I saw the whole thing…

The way he looked over at her.

The way he smiled,

And touched her hand.

I stood beside the classroom,

One foot on the wall.

Other planted firmly.

I watched, arms crossed.

Eyebrow raised.

He didn’t see me.

Good.

I slid away, clicking my tongue.

Went to class, sat down.

And began my plan.

Again, after class,

he walked her away.

I watched, silently.

Waiting.

“What are you doing, cutie?”

Tae pulled my ponytail.

“See that?” I motioned.

“Yeah…” he kissed my head.

“You owe me a favor. Remember?”

He groaned, pinning me against the wall.

I let him, let him think he was in charge.

“I remember,” he smirked.

“Good. Now here’s what you’ll do…”

I told him all of it, he done his part.

Later that day,

I sat in the cheater’s lap.

Tae and his homies hid

behind the bleachers.

I made out with my boyfriend.

Meanwhile, the girl he liked-

Was getting talked to good.

In another part of the school.

Her status was mine, everything.

She’d never look at a guy again.

Especially not my guy, no, never.

I bent in close to him in the dark gym.

“I saw you with her,” I said.

He shrugged under me.

I slowly put pressure on his crotch.

“I saw you. With. Her,” I repeated.

He said my name, stopping my hands.

I kissed him hard, lips crushing into him.

“Baby Ryl,” Tae came out of the dark.

He came up behind me, grinning.

As I sat on the cheating fuck’s lap.

Tae kissed my head, pulling me back.

“Time to go,” he grabbed my hand.

I smirked in the shadows.

The cheater’s mouth fell open,

as Tae’s homies came out of the dark.

Slowly, he stood, shaking.

“Hey, pretty boy,” one member teased.

I walked from the gym, Tae at my side.

We shut the gym doors, leaving.

Shoes squeaked on the polished floor.

I called over my shoulder;

“You better get to her before I do.”

Like lighting a match next to gas-

Wild laughter started up.

Tae’s homies caught the cheater.

Let’s just say;

The cheating fuck never cheated on me again. His lips never touched another girl while I was around. Ashamed, he slipped away. He no longer flirted, no longer made out with random girls. And he never got another girlfriend from the school.

I saw the whole fucking thing.
