Chapter 10

Before the apocalypse, I confessed my feelings for Dane on the radio. Excited after finishing, I went out to find him and get his response.

It was Lavender who came with a note from him, saying Dane thought trash like me wasn't worthy of him.

The handwriting did look a lot like Dane's. Back then, I trusted Lavender completely and never doubted her.

This kind of thing was humiliating me in front of the whole school. Confessing had used up all my courage, so I didn't dare confront Dane about it.

Later, I badmouthed Dane and, well, he overheard me. We basically became enemies after that.

Then rumors spread around school that Dane liked Lavender.

As her best friend, I decided to give up on him from then on.

Who knew all of this was that bitch Lavender twisting everything around!

I asked Dane, "Did you ever have Lavender pass along a message?"

He raised an eyebrow. "She told me your confession was because you lost at Truth or Dare. I told her to let you know it could be real."
