Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Kate elbowing Jodie. They returned to their seats silently with their backs to us, avoiding the awkward confrontation.
I felt as if all the blood in my body had been sucked dry. I felt dizzy, and a cold sweat broke out on my forehead.
Before this, they had never announced that they were in love.
Only a week had passed by since their first encounter. I thought they were flirting with each other, so when Spencer invited me to his house to celebrate his birthday with him, I was happy. On the spur of the moment, I asked, "Will Monica be there too?"
"If she doesn't come, we'll celebrate without her," said Spencer.
"Okay." I agreed without hesitation. I was glad that he had me on his mind.
I wanted to take this opportunity to confess my feelings to him. Then he should choose between Monica and me.
On his birthday, I carefully dressed up and went to his house. He made a sumptuous meal for me and kept persuading me to drink.
Before I could confess, I felt dizzy. I wanted to go to bed.
He arranged for me to rest in the guest room. I slept soundly. After all, I had never been on guard against him.
