"Hey, what happened to you last night?" Sarah asks. 

I shrug. I didn't feel like talking about a man who sexually harassed me. Let alone the fact I have no idea who he is. However, I have now acquired a hate for bears. A very tiny part of me felt guilty, but not really. Surely if a bear were harassed by a bear that looked like a human, it would feel the same way.  I shake my head at my ridiculous thoughts. 

She sighs. "Look, I'm sorry I left you. The crowd swept me away."

"The crowd or Ryan?" I muttered.

"What?"

"Hey, babe." I look up and see Ryan. 

My blood boils. I plaster on a smile. "Hey, Ryan. How nice to meet you."

He glances at me, says a quick 'yea', and returns to looking between Sarah's face and breasts. I roll my eyes, but then realize Sarah is looking at me. I smile and she returns it. 

"Hey, Ryan. What are you doing?"

He sets his lunch down and sits next to her. "Just seeing what you're up to. How come you don't sit with your friends?"

I dig my fingernails into my thigh. I am her friend. Her best friend. I wait for Sarah to say that.

"Well, Mia doesn't like to sit with the big crowd."

"Well, why not? She's your friend, right? Shouldn't she stay by your side no matter what?"

"Actually-"

I cut Sarah off. "That would be a great idea, Ryan. I would love to sit with people like you the only time of day I get to myself. Who wouldn't want to sit with a bunch of arrogant, selfish, spoiled little brats?" But I only said that in my head. I didn't want to offend Sarah.

"Actually, Mia and I are fine here. Why don't you sit with us?"

A test. You could tell he knew it. He looked up at his friends, who were trying to hide the fact that they were spying on us. They winked at him and threw up their fists. He grinned. "Sure, babe. Anything for you."

Sarah giggled and her whole demeanor changed. She turned more towards him and leaned in close, as if they were gossiping. 

She didn't even notice when I left.
