He Thought I Was Just Playing Dead

Ethan’s girl best friend, Chloe, loved playing "pranks."

The first time we met, she slipped a condom into my pocket and started a rumor that I was cheating on him.

At a friend's party, she sat right on Ethan's lap in front of my face, asking him who was sexier—her or me.

Every single time, I would get angry and confront Ethan. But after a while, Ethan stopped comforting me.

He impatiently told me to stop overthinking. He said I had no sense of humor. He told me to just "be the bigger person."
