Love, Misfired — Lucas's String of Excuses

The picture was of him and Chloe. I froze. For so many years, I felt sad whenever I saw Lucas with another girl. But seeing him with someone else now, I suddenly felt free. It was good. As a friend, I should wish him well.

Girls, I brought food! Lucas bought it. Lucas really treats you differently. I just saw his post. Are you two official now? I guess the secret's out.

Seeing that I did not move for a long time, she walked over to my bed. Ava, don't you want to eat some? Thanks, but I'm not hungry. that's too bad I bought this especially for you then I received a text from Lucas Lucas was

like this in high school he gave me the gifts other girls sent him then told me he bought it just for me I bought this just for you during the school art show he gave flowers to another girl but waited for me to walk me home at graduation he went on a trip with a girl I hated the most I I did not talk to him for the whole summer because of that.

But after that, he also came to my house before college started, helped me pack my things. He would always hurt me first, then do something nice for me.

And every time, I forgave him. I kept making excuses for him. It wasn't his fault that girls liked him, but I was never different.

He just kept stringing me along.
