Chapter #4 (Marla)

Marla

I was driving to Starbucks when I actually noticed my hands shaking. I felt a little ashamed that I was so nervous about seeing my boyfriend, George. It wasn’t that George made me nervous; (that would be weird?) it was that ever since he had seen a girl at Starbucks I felt it necessary to be worthy him. I parked her car and walked through the door at Starbucks feeling very scared and self-conscious. The first thing I did was notice the girl wasn’t there yet (maybe she died!) then I found George, kissed him, and took my drink. I hated that drink but ever since George got a little “distracted” I had been more obsessed with loosing weight. Just a minute later that girl walked through the door and George instantly became hypnotized by her. Several painful minutes went by where I had to watch George gaze at a girl who wasn’t me. I half wanted to snap in his face and say "Hey! I'm your girlfriend!" By the time the music switched to pathetic love songs George became so unfocused that I was honestly fearing I would loose my boyfriend to someone he hadn’t officially met.
