“Hey! Did you hear?” Being nosy is everyone’s new habit nowadays, and I honestly didn’t care. I haven’t been with Sophee these days because I avoided her for something I shouldn’t reason out. I avoided her because I got so affected by what was happening to them—her and Mark. I am happy that I was the one who helped Mark with her, but deep inside, I knew I was lying to myself. I feel hurt. I knew I shouldn’t feel this way, but it hurt. It hurt seeing Mark with Sophee. It just did. I entered the room and saw Sophee standing by the door. She looked at me and started talking to me about magazines and models and random things. The way she babbled about all these things was surreal. It didn’t make sense to me after what happened. Her eyes kept shaking, and she was nervous about something.
