Mom saw Brad’s dad and glared. “What are you doing here? Hasn’t your son hurt my daughter enough?”

The comments section said: [Don’t listen. If you
hear what dad did.]
I frowned.
Brad looked stubborn. But then he seemed to
give in. “I’m sorry.”
I ate a grape, enjoying his misery. “Oh, the big

Brad and his dad looked terrible.
Brad looked at me sadly. “I didn’t mean to. I

I finished, “So you did all this to make me
jealous?”
Brad nodded. The author popped up in the
comments section, saying that was true and
that I should give him another chance.
I scoffed. “Get lost! I’m never forgiving you. You
think you’re such a good person?
Brad looked hurt.
[Girl, I would dump him.]
[You should never be with a boy. You will die in
fire.]
Then June barged in, yelling, “Why are you
doing this to Brad? Men deserve love.”
Brad yelled, “Shut up! You’re making it worse!”
