Back when I chased Freddie, most girls didn’t even dare talk to him.
“She didn’t show up today.” Cindy stepped in to cover for me.
“Ah? Then I guess it really wasn’t meant to happen.”
“I even wanted to give her an invitation…” Imogen let out a fake sigh, then laughed and leaned into Freddie’s arms.
Cindy, with huge, round eyes, stared at her. “This woman has no shame at all!”
I watched Cindy turn her sadness into eating and I laughed, handing her a glass of water so she wouldn’t choke.
Cindy grabbed my arm. “Bella, my ship is actually sinking!”
“You really can’t end up with Freddie?!”
She tightened her jaw and stared at Imogen.
I laughed. “It’s not like we never dated before.”
Cindy’s mouth fell open in shock and even her eyes were shaking.
I looked at Freddie, waiting for him to confirm it. “You agree, right, Freddie?”
Freddie’s brow moved slightly and he nodded to show it was true.
“Seriously?!” Cindy jumped up quickly, suddenly way too excited, like she’d eaten bad candy.
The whole room reacted.
After all, during the seven years I chased Freddie, everyone thought he couldn’t stand me.
Even the thought of being physically turned off was mentioned by them.
Imogen’s fixed smile stopped in place.
