It’s cool
Justin cared about Mikaela, and he didn’t want to stand in her way. She deserved to go to homecoming with the boy she truly liked. Swallowing the bile that had crept up his throat, he responded.
“Of course, it’s cool if you go with him. I’ll just be glad to see you there,” He did his best to suppress his sadness. He’d seen just how much Ben meant to her. The boy had won without even lifting a finger. Justin could hear the smile in Mikaela’s voice as she thanked him repeatedly. As long as she was happy, he would learn to deal with it.
