It was only the first day of the school year, but Korina was already wishing it were over. She really was over all the high school drama and couldn't wait for college, so that (maybe) she could disappear from the spotlight. Most of all, she was looking forward to ditching her boyfriend, Jared. He was a real pain and hardly worth the effort, but she stayed. They'd get into an argument every other day and breakup, only to get back together eventually. For this poor decision making, she mostly blamed sentimentality. Jared was a lot of firsts for her after all; first kiss, first date, first time... Besides, she saw no point in replacing one immature prick for another potentially equally immature prick. For that reason, Jared had been a consistent part of her life for the past seven years. Better the devil you know, right?<br/><br/>Getting to her table, she slammed down her food tray, disassembling her hamburger on impact and sending a few fries flying out of the tray. "I swear this is the fucking last time! I can't fucking do this anymore." she snapped as she stared daggers at Jared, who sat at another table with the rest of the basketball team, seemingly unbothered by the recent spat they had just had.<br/>"You know you've been saying that since eighth grade, right?" said Tammy, the blonde who sat across the table from her.<br/>"Fuck you, Tammy." Korina didn't need to react like this towards her, but she just couldn't help getting like this when she was annoyed. "But seriously. I think I'm just gonna start looking into girls now, because this is becoming too much to deal with. He's always got something to bitch about. And his friends hitting on me, somehow that ends up being my fault."<br/>Tammy giggled. "You know what, I think you're probably right. But at the same time I don't think you're gonna do it. Somehow, you guys always end up getting back together. Just my opinion." She shrugged.<br/>As much as she wanted to argue and snap back at Tammy, Korina knew she was right. She had a problem, and without anyone compelling her to move on, Jared was probably going to be around for a little longer.
