Crushes Sometimes End in Crushing

I had to prove to everyone that I was not a freaking tool.

“Tom, I’m giving up romance. We have to get back at Mendez and I have a plan.”

“Intriguing.”

“I would like to kick his ass.”

“Even better.”

“But, I think ruining his grotesque relationship with Jodi would fit.”

“You are evil. How will we do that?”

“I hate to ask you to do this, knowing your absolute disdain for romance, but you have to admit you are quite possibly the most eligible bachelor on campus.”

Tom had wavy brown hair and fierce blue eyes. He was brilliant and desirable. Most girls across campus followed his every movement.

He had also sworn off relationships after his ex-girlfriend Jill broke his heart by making out with an asshole named Jeremiah back home just days after he left for college.

“You want me to steal Jodi from Mendez?” Tom asked, almost pissed off.

“Yes. I want you to steal her from Mendez. And then I want you to crush her like no one has ever been crushed. It’s your best chance at rehabilitation.”
