Everything is a Lie

She received a mysterious email, and the subject line reads, "Everything you know is a lie". Katie opened the email and read further. "Act calm as to not alert anyone, but everyone around you is not who they say they are. You need to get out of there quietly and meet me at the spot where you had your first kiss. You know the place. My name is L."

 I read the email furiously. My day was already bad enough. "Are you even serious right now? This is a joke!" Katie already had had enough on her plate to deal with already. And now this total bullshit?

She went along with the gag joke anyways as she could see through her shadow the fumes of anger seeping through her ears. She had already had her suspicions as to who it was. She assumed it was Brandon. The class clown and school wide d-bag. The word around school was he was infamously a drug dealer with the IQ of a worm. She laughed at the thought. Even the close up of a worms face was still better looking than him. That was the best compliment she had in her. 'My name is L'. How cliché.

She made it to the spot. Underneath the gazebo. She hated to admit the fact that her first kiss was with the exact same person she loathed. The memory soaked her skin as it all came flooding back into her memory. 'Stop this Katie. It wasn't truly your first kiss. The jerk off stole it from you. Keep your anger and use it wisely.' Just as she was thinking to herself, The Neighborhood started to play. Her favorite song came on. Flawless. She turned her head to see the one and only Brandon McGregor.

The strong smell of weed flowed from his veins and showed his desperation for forgiveness and redemption demanded her attention from his bloody red, puffy eyes. "Pathetic, but fitting." his head tilted down.

"I saw your blog Katie. The one for our class... Why did you say those lies about me...? About us?!" His voice betrayed him as it was flawed with cracks in it. Breaking from his spine. "Just tell me you are sorry and fix your blog and this can all end now."

She let a chuckle escape with her breath. "It was the truth. And you should be the one saying sorry to me. I gave you everything and what did I get in return? I got a beating. Broken ribs and a broken heart. So I will never apologize to you. You can burn in hell just like your damned Mary J." She lunged spitting in his face. She regretted it automatically when she saw what he was holding.

"I see that you have met my little buddy L. We warned you Katie. Now L and I will share a kiss of death with you together."

No alert. Just silence and the comfort of lies.
