Simone Elkeles Quote

Hiya, Alex. I missed you tonight.My gaze rests on Sam. Yeah, I see how much you missed me.Sam? Oh, I don't really like him, she coos, coming close. I can smell the radiating off her. I'm waiting for you to come back to me.Not gonna happen.Is it because of your stupid chemistry partner? She grabs ray chin, trying to force me to look at her, her long nails digging into my skin.I grab both her wrists and pull them aside, all the time wondering how my tough-as-nails ex-girlfriend turned into a tough-as-nails bitch. Brittany has nothin' to do with you and me. I hear you've been talkin' shit to her.Did Isa tell you that? she asks, her eyes narrowed into slits.Just back off, I say, ignoring her question, or you'll have a lot more to deal with than a bitter ex-boyfriend.Are you bitter, Alex? Because you don't act bitter. You act like you don't give a shit.She's right. After I found her sleeping around, it took me a while to get over it, get over her. I wondered what other guys were giving her that I couldn't.I used to give a shit, I tell her. I don't now.
