Voted Out! I Am No Longer Your Option

Before my birthday party even started, Ethan cast his phone screen onto the massive TV in our VIP lounge booth.

He started an anonymous poll in our Snapchat group.

The question was: Should I stay with my girlfriend to cut her birthday cake tonight, or take my childhood best friend, Melanie, to her movie premiere?

A thirty-second countdown.

The votes rolled in instantly.

Melanie: 17 votes.

Me: 1 vote.

Everyone assumed that one single vote was mine.

Ethan leaned back on the leather sofa, a smirk playing on his lips when he saw the results.

"Well, majority rules."
