Oh, Brother

As I was listening to Kelly’s presentation, I saw Whitney, my girlfriend, walking in the room with a guy. They sat down, and she leaned on him.
Why is Whitney doing that? And it popped into my head: I was dumped.
I shot up out of my seat.
“Whitney, what are you doing?” I screamed.
The room became silent. Everyone stared at me.
After school, Whitney texted me to meet her at George Calvin Park at 9:00. When I arrived, Whitney stood next to the guy.
“I’d like you to meet my brother.”
Guess I’m really getting dumped now.
