In the dormitory, the other girls were looking at each other. Finally someone stood out.
“Jessica, could you ask your boyfriend to treat us to dinner this weekend? It has been so long since you met your boyfriend. Please let us have a look.” Lucy stood beside the bed smiling to Jessica who was lying on the bed.
Jessica hesitated to ask Hurley, since she was worried that he would be unhappy. He was still angry about her true love knot.
But later other girls were all around her talking about it.
“After graduation, there will be less time for us to get together. Come on, let’s have fun this weekend!”
“Are you afraid that we’ll steal your man? Come on, we are not that kind of people.”
They were talking in an unpleasing way.
Jessica realized that they were pointing at one person but abusing another! She gritted her teeth to dial Hurley’s phone and asked softly, “Are you free this weekend?”
“I will have a business trip.” The words of Hurley were very concise, and then he simply hung up.
Jessica had to face the fact that Hurley didn’t paid attention to her before she could speak out.
“Is it inconvenient for your boyfriend?” Lucy said with a smile, looking warm and soft, but actually waiting to see a joke.
Others answered with a slight sneer, “An old man in his fifties must have to play with his grandson on weekends. It’s definitely not convenient to come out to date.” After that, they felt a bit abrupt, and added, “Sorry, I’m just joking.”
Lucy also said, “We are good friends and it was just kidding. Don’t be angry. Besides, you won’t mind about it, right?”
“Right!” said Jessica. She really didn’t want to lose her face in front of these girls. After thinking for seconds, she had an idea, and said calmly, “Who says it’s inconvenient? Well! Just on the weekend, I’ll book ahead.”
Girl’s friendship is like those plastic flowers which looked good but fake. At the same time of looking well, they have to compare their status secretly.
In the evening, Jessica called Tania, her best friend, and said pitifully, “Tania, please help me. I was teased by a group of women. You have to help me! Come and pretend to be my boyfriend and show them!”
“Isn’t there a great beauty in your house?”
“I can’t count on him. I can only come to you.” said Jessica.
“I am a girl!”
“Look at you in the mirror. You’re handsome, neutral-dressing and flat-chested. You look like a man!”
Tania really wanted to tear Jessica’s mouth. “Jessica, are you asking for help or death?”
–
They met on Saturday. Tania came to the coffee shop. After finding Jessica, her eyes were bright. “Jessica, you have to help me.”
Jessica brushed her hair and thought in silence that she came here was to ask for her help today. She was the first one who asked for help.
Tania ordered two cups of coffee, shared her troubles caused by Lucas on her own, “Lucas regarded me as a shield to other women. They found me, trying to use ridiculous methods to let me know they love Lucas so much, like sending sex photos, videos and audios. They hoped I can break up with him. I’m sick of it! Jessica, can you pretend to be me and break up with him?”
Jessica almost choked on her coffee and rolled her eyes at Tania, “How can I pretend to be you to break up with Lucas?”
Tania waved her hand to show her approval, “We are only in a business marriage. I seldom met and talked with him. He can’t distinguish my voice.”
