Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

Sabrina must have felt pretty terrible hearing that.

And, just as I expected, she spoke up right away. "I went straight to Brian and asked if he has feelings for Vivian. He denied it, but I was so angry-I ended up having a huge fight with him."

"Vivian's not exactly innocent either. She tried to cozy up to Brian through me, even gave me a designer bag to bribe me." Sabrina scoffed, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "As if I can't buy my own bags. Like I'd ever care about her cheap little purse."

Olivia tried to reassure her. "I really don't think Brian likes Vivian. If he did, they'd already be together. From what I see, he's serious about you. Don't let some outsider mess up what you have. You guys should just talk it out."

Allison nodded in agreement. "Yeah, seriously. You know how Brian treats you. You'd be able to tell if he was acting shady, right?"

Sabrina let out a frustrated huff. "Men are such smooth talkers. Anyone can say sweet things, but how do I know if he actually means it? Look at George-he treats that college girl like a princess, but he's told everyone it's just a fling."

Olivia pressed her lips together, not sure what to say. Her brother could be a real jerk sometimes.

He'd been seeing that college girl for over half a year now, and still hadn't introduced her to anyone in the family. He obviously wasn't planning to include her in his real life. Basically, he was just playing around, never serious.

After Sabrina said that, Olivia was at a loss for words.

"Brian isn't George, and you're nothing like George's girlfriend. As far as I know, you're the only girl Brian's ever dated. He's not some player. Plus, you're not just some random girl-you're part of our circle, you've got your own background.
