I was came across one old high school friend and asked them why I always have to be the one to find out how she’s doing.

Within a week or two of each other both Beth and Rose were left brokenhearted, Rose’s boyfriend Oliver dumped her after hearing that she had slept with his best friend Kevin, her former boyfriend, and Glenn left Beth, saying that he was moving away and it would be too painful if they remained together. Not true. He then proceeded to woo and date one of Beth’s friends Nicole. Beth was devastated; most of our lunch’s thereafter were devoted to distracting her from the new couple.
