Relay Fiction

It was a hot day. I got thirsty. I turned around and I found the small coffee shop in front of my ex-boyfriend's house. After I bought some water in the coffee shop, I saw that my ex-boyfriend was there. I tried to avoid him because I didn't want to talk to him. But he came and said "hi." I couldn't ignore him and I ordered coffee for him. He didn't receive it because he met a sexy girl. I didn't care. I just thought he was so stupid. I know he won't be able to get her. However, I envied the sexi girl. At a moment, she told me she wasn't a girl. I was really surprised because her body looks like a girl's. But he/she was gay and my boyfriend gave her money to show me that she is his new friend. He did this because he wanted to make me jealous. At that time, his guy friend left and my boyfriend proposed to me again. Now we are thinking to start a new life.
