Who, little old me? [Secret Challenge]

I watched his panicked face, and couldn’t help but chuckle, just a bit.
“It’s not funny Kathryn!” He barked, searching frantically for some hat his girlfriend gave him. He never let the damn thing out of his sight.
“You’re right, it’s not. I’m sorry.” I lied, flattening my face into a look of concern.
“Well, did you take it?” He asked, clearly as a last resort, he knew me, his best friend would never do that.
“No Ryan, I did not take your stupid hat. I love your girlfriend, I wouldn’t take something she gave you.” He nodded, and continued to scramble.
I walked away, it was time for me to go to lunch. He was going to be late to fourth period.
The second he was gone I slid into the ladies room, and pulled the stupid hat out of my bag, and dropped it in the trash. Truth is, I hated him, and his girlfriend. I snickered, and walked out casually. What a shmuck.
