But I don't think Mary is right for you. Every time she looks at me she looks like she wants me gone." Cody said as Kristen sighed as they walked into the store. "Alright, we'll talk about it at lunch. You and I get out carts. We should decide on where to go when we get our lunches." Kristen said before Mary walked with a girl and seen Kristen and Cody there. Cody seen Mary with another girl and quickly looked to see if it was her before noticing that no one was there. "Huh. Weird. How about we meet up in the candy aisle?" Cody asked before Kristen looked at him. "That's a great idea." Kristen said before Kristen grabbed them both a cart. "See you in a little bit." Cody said before they both went into different directions. Cody walked into the produce aisle and seen Mary. "Hey, Mary. What's up? You getting your lunch too?" Cody asked as he secretly recorded his interaction with Mary. His eyebrow was raised as he seen the other girl stand next to Mary. "Babe, who is this?" The girl asked as Cody smiled at her. "Oh a no one. Like you and her." Cody said as he pointed to Mary before he left stunning both of them. He felt pride in himself as he walked away even though he didn't know what to do. Cody grabbed some fruits and a few stuff for his lunch as he thought to himself. "I should show this to Kristen. But I don't want to hurt her feelings." Cody said before he went to look at salads.

Cody shook his head and then looked at his phone. "Hey, Mary..... I have something to tell you. And I know you won't believe me. I need to tell you this in person." Cody texted Kristen not expecting to get a response from her.

Cody wanted to calm down but he knew that he didn't like Mary and now he had the dirt on her. "But what if I end up hurting Kristen" Cody asked himself because he wanted the ability to have power to hurt Mary. But he knew that he could also hurt Kristen in the process. "Oh, ok Cody. Meet me at the candy but we can still wait until we get lunch." Kristen responded as she looked at single yogurt packages. "Let's wait. I wanna build the suspense." Cody said before sent a emoji that stuck out it's tongue. 

Kristen chuckled as she seen the time and then panicked. "Get your lunch and quick." She texted Cody before they quickly grabbed lunch. "Here I am. Let's go." Cody said as he met her I the candy aisle and then they both quickly went to the cash register. "Please goddess up there, Eos. Don't do that again." Kristen said as they placed their lunches on the conveyor belt. "Ok. Show off. I know you have ancestors that come from Greece." Cody said before Kristen smiled at him. "Oh please, you don't have any idea of how power Eos is." Kristen said as she got her wallet out. Cody shook his head with a smile on his face as Kristen paid for their food. "You know I love you." Cody said as he messed up Kristen's hair before she pulled away. "And your lucky you are my best friend." Kristen said as she fixed her hair as Cody laughed as she grabbed their food. "Let's go." Cody said before they quickly went to the car and got their food in. "We have to be their in fifteen minutes." Cody said before they both go in and put their seat belts on. "I know. I know." Kristen said as she started to drive to the college. Cody looked at her as he knew that this was the time to tell her but he didn't know when was the right time to show her the video. "So what are you wanting to talk about?" Kristen asked as she parked in the parking lot. Cody sighed as he figured out what he was going to say. "Mary does not love you." Cody said before Kristen started to laugh. "What do you mean? She is in love with me. How could you say that?" Kristen asked as she realized that Cody was being serious. "I have proof if you don't believe. I get it if you become mad at me but I don't want you to get hurt." Cody said before Kristen nodded holding back tears. "OK. Show me." Kristen said as Cody looked at her concerned. 

Kristen nodded at him signaling that it was gonna be OK, before Cody looked down and showed her the video. "Oh my good." Kristen tearfully said as she placed her hand on her mouth. "Are you OK?" Cody asked as he could see that her heart was breaking. "No. I'm not. But thanks for setting me straight. I love you." Kristen said before they hugged as tears went down her face. "How about we go shopping for our room, anything we think we need or what we want. I'll pay and we'll eat at home." Cody said as Kristen sat up. "Maybe I'll just flunk out and be a dumb waitress." Kristen said before Cody shook his head. "No. I ain't gonna let you quit over some whore. Now come on. Switch seats with me." Cody said before they both got out. "I don't know why you are interested in keeping me happy when your new to the school." Kristen said as they both got in and then Cody looked at her.

"Because you are my best friend. So your happiness is my priority." Cody said as he pulled out of the parking space and then drove to a store. "Your really sweet. But you ain't gotta worry about me." Kristen said before she looked out the window after Cody turned the music up more. Cody didn't like it when Kristen would talk bad about himself even though he knew that he could not convince her to stop. "I'm sorry I'm this way. I just feel so abandoned." Kristen said before Cody parked in the parking lot.

"It's alright. Come on. Shopping time." Cody said before Kristen smiled at him. "Let's go home and eat first. We can't do on an empty stomach." Kristen said before Cody pointed at her. "Good point." Cody said as he backed out and started to drive home. Cody smiled as he knew that with him around, then Kristen will be ok. "Hey, Cody? Can we talk?" She asked before Cody turned down the music as he got closer to the house. "What is up?" Cody asked as he parked at the house and looked at her. 

Kristen sighed as she looked down while Cody waited for her. "Do you think I'm good enough for love?" Kristen asked as she could feel more tears go down her face.
