After graduation, Lucas became a senior executive of a company, and his handsome appearance and high income made me envy by all my classmates.
But my happiness changed when Susan Lawrence, Lucas' childhood sweetheart, came back.
At first, it was just Lucas, who used to claim that the game was less important than me, chose to protect Susan, who was a mage in the game, and gave up on me.
Although he explained to me afterwards that it was just for the victory of the game, I still felt a little sad.
But Susan did not disappear from our lives.
She would shamelessly participate in Lucas' and my dates and ask me to take photos of her in the name of being his good buddy.
Lucas also connive this childhood sweetheart of his, although it would always end up when he apologized to me afterwards and asked me to forgive Susan.
Later, Susan would be in the car that Lucas picked me up from work.
At first, Susan just sat in the back seat of the car and interrupted our conversation.
Until one rainy day, when I opened the passenger seat of Lucas' car as usual, I found her sitting there.
"Nicole, let Susan sit in the front because she gets carsick."
Susan didn't say anything, but Lucas was the first to speak to her to ease the situation.
After sitting in the back for so long, she started to get carsick now?
I rolled my eyes, crossed my arms, and looked at Susan, showing no intention of giving in.
"Nicole, I'm really sorry, I'm not feeling well today, so let me sit in the front now."
Susan looked at me with a pitiful look, as if I had done something rude to her, and she was about to cry in the next second.
"If you're not feeling well, you can take a taxi and sit in the front seat."
As I was saying that, I opened the taxi app on my phone and called a taxi.
"I've called a taxi for you, and this time you can sit in the front seat. By the way, if you don't know how to use the taxi app, I can teach you so you don't have to steal a ride every day."
"Nicole, you're going too far. Susan is my friend."
Lucas shouted at me angrily, which was the first time I saw his furious side.
"Lucas, it's all my fault. Don't argue because of me."
Susan held Lucas, who was angry, but she still sat in the seat without any intention of getting off.
"Okay, Lucas, if you think she's so good, you can date her."
I slammed the car door and took a taxi home alone.
