A faint blush crept over Helen's face. "Is that weird? We agreed to wait until college. Honestly, I still thought it was too fast. Look what happened. He thinks he's got me trapped now, so he has the nerve to bring up breaking up. Do you think he'd ever pull this crap before?"
Bonnie smiled reassuringly. "I don't think Ned is like that. He's just incredibly insecure right now, and he lashed out trying to hurt you."
Helen knew her boyfriend didn't really mean it, but she still couldn't let it go. "I don't care. If he wants to break up, fine. I'm not scared."
Hearing that, Bonnie felt a wave of relief. This was just a minor lovers' quarrel.
"You guys are so dramatic. Fighting over something so trivial," she mused.
She and Lawrence had never had a fight like that.
Helen shot her a glare. "Your relationship is like a fairy tale. You don't understand how real people date. Plus, Ned and I hardly ever fight like this. I don't know what got into him this time."
"Is that guy really handsome?" Bonnie asked thoughtfully. "Like, really successful or something?"
"Honestly? On paper, he's probably a bit better than Ned. But his personality sucks. Our Ned is amazing. No one compares to him."
Bonnie shivered playfully and giggled. "You're so obsessed with him, yet you're ready to break up. You're so full of it!"
Helen grinned and started tickling her. Bonnie laughed, squirming and begging for mercy. After wrestling for a bit, Helen suddenly paused. "Wait, from the way you're talking... have you and Lawrence already...?"
Bonnie immediately shook her head. "No, we haven't."
