Annie's P.O.V
“Annie, come out and let your cousin drop you off. Do you want him to be late for his class?". My mum shouted from downstairs. I'm not a religious person, but today, I gotta do this. I clasp my hands together and close my eyes.
“Hey Lord, how are you doing up there? You must be doing great. Today I'd like to ask you for a favour. Nothng's too much for you, so I'll go ahead and say it. First off, I want to kick those dickheads right in the asses, well literally. I wanna prove them wrong and shove my success right in their faces. Secondly, I want to kick off on my social life, and lastly but most importantly, I would like a boyfriend, so help me lord. Amen". I grab my stuffs and tries to hurry up before my mum meets me up with a broom..
Hey I'm Annie MacDonald, and this is my story. Fourth grade, I followed my friends to a party one of them was invited to, and I got the embarrassment of my entire life.
I have four friends, or… I had four friends; Kate, Laura, Malison and Gabby, until two of them revealed their true colors at the party and embarrassed me..
I could still remember all they said like it was yesterday..
We arrived at the party and I was asked to leave. I asked my friends to come along with me, but Laura talked me off first saying
“You were asked to leave, not us".
“What do you mean?". I had asked.
”she means, you're the dorky one here with zero social life who thinks she can just attend this party because we..". Kate pointed at her and Laura “..were invited. So better get your ass out of here alone, unless of course, these ones..". She pointed at Gabby and Malison “...wants to join you".
Long story short, they said a lot of things and insulted and taunted me, they even shamed me in front of my crush. I felt so embarrassed, but that's alright, I believe in
An eye for an eye, a curse for a curse!!
They better be prepared!
*Smack*
“Ouch". I groan as my mum landed a hot slap on my back.
“Go now!". She shouted.
My mum behaves like a typical Indian woman. She doesn't tolerate misbehaviour and wants everything done in perfection. She'd have killed me if she heard my prayers few minutes back..
“Fine, bye". I said and run downstairs. I grab the lunch pack she dropped on the table. Although I find it really childish, she was gonna drive to school to give it to me if I didn't take it myself. Trust me, it has happened before, and this was one of the things Laura remarked in front of basically the whole school.
I rush outside and enter the Jeep parked right in front of the yard..
“Great. He is not here". I grumble, then pull down the mirror and look at myself. I don't look so bad, right?
“You look terrible". Sam said as he entered the car.
“Harsh". I reprimanded. ”And your opinion doesn't matter to me. Where were you by the ways? You made my mum smack me for nothing".
“I went to get something, and… I still stick to what I said about your looks". He tsked.
“Whatever". I sighed and look out the window as he began to drive.
“But chill, take a good look at me. As a hottie like me, if I were in your school, I wouldn't even spare you a second glance". He mocked. I used my corner eyes to look at him.. He was indeed a hottie, no doubt. Sometimes I wished he wasn't my cousin so I could flirt with him, not like I don't do it now but, you know… there are certain limits I can't cross.
“well thank God you aren't even in my league. Tch". I sighed. That was a big lie. He was way in my league. A hottie, smartie, a sportie, I mean, what the fuck are we talking ‘bout here?
The car came to a halt, and that's when I realised he's reached my school already.
“Thanks". I muttered half heartedly. I was feeling kinda choked and I felt I wasn't ready to face everyone yet. There was one thing about leaked news, or public embarrassment. It'll barely get out of their heads until you prove them wrong. We could say if another scandal occurs, they'll forget about yours, but that's barely true. The only thing that'll happen is that they won't focus much on yours like before, but that doesn't mean they've forgotten.
I stepped out the car, and pull up my hoodie. I wasn't ready. I didn't feel ready. With my head lowered to the ground, I walked brisly into school. I shut my eyes as I felt all eyes were on me. Before, I was an ordinary student that remained unnoticed by students. I was the ‘Teacher's fav' type where I do things for them, they prefer me to most students, and stuffs like that, but now, I'm being recognized, but not in a cool way.
I know right now, people are like ‘Isnt it that dorky student who can to the party last summer?'
‘Isn't she the girl who daydreams about all the hot guys in school?'.
‘Isn't she the girl who farted in science class?'. Okay this one was out. They didn't even know I was the one. But I swear, I didn't mean to do it. I ate a lot of protein that day, and I tried taking excuse from the teacher, but he just wasn't letting me go, and then…it came out silently, but the stench was worth making someone faint.
Okay, back to what's what.
”Hey girl, what were you're going". Someone shouts as I accidentally bump into the person and fell on my butt. ”Annie?". Another person, a yet familiar voice, seems to recognize. ”What a pleasant surprise. I thought you'd leave school because that blast last summer. Tsk tsk tsk, poor thing. Here, let me help you up". Yeah, Kate., How could I forget her tiny, stupid voice? I slap her outstretched hands and get my up myself. After dusting my Jean, I replied
”You wish I'd leave". This was yet another lie. I wanted to leave, but my mum wouldn't let me change.
”This school gave you a scholarship. Do you know how hard it is to get a scholarship these days? No Annie, you aren't changing!". My mum had replied firmly.
Hold on a minute, who the fuck am I seeing with her?
Annie's P.O.V I told you Laura embarrassed me in front of my crush right? Not like it's just one crush I have, but, he was the only one I saw at the party that night. So, back to present. That crush, was the person I bumped into, and Kate was currently holding his hand.I suddenly became speechless. I so wanted to ask questions, but these people weren't the right people to askI tried to walk past them, but then someone held my hand. Thinking it was Kate, I turned towards the owner with a glare, but my expression softened but with a hint of surprise once I saw who it was. Bryan!Second grade, I saw him inside the principal's office and I fell for him. “Uhm, don't you owe me an apology? For bumping into me?". He asked. His voice, oh Lord!. I could come right this second. ”uhm..". I felt a lump in my throat. “So…sorry". It was actually just ‘sorry', but it sounded like ‘so sorry'.He nodded, and stuck his hands into his jeans. It seemed like he wanted to bring out something, but
Annie's P.O.V I'm that type of girl who loves listening to other people's love stories. It kinda gives me this sweet feeling within and I don't know, it doesn't seem to wanna go away, even now. As Gabby narrates her summer experience, talking about the fun she had and the guy she met, I feel butterflies dancing in my belly.“So did you guys like kiss?". I asked as I crossed my legs.“Of course, we did. Gosh, our bodies were heated and… he didn't want to let go. From the car, we came out and laid on the ground, then resumed our intense kissing. I would have been worried that someone might see, but I wasn't. Plus, the lights were out. I mean, if you go watch a romantic movie with a hot guy, it's expected that you make out right?". Gabby asked “Right". I and Malison concurred..“Not like he is as hot as your cousin though, but he was good looking". I rolled my eyes. She always finds a way to bring my cousin into everything. “His breath against my face was just so awesome and it se
Annie's P.O.V My friends and I had been seated for an hour, so we got up to stretch our legs. As we sat back down, my eyes flew towards the hallways, and just then, Kate and Bryan passed. “Did you see that?". Seems I wasn't the only one who saw it. “Yeah,I was meaning to ask you guys cause I saw them when I was entering school, but it seems you both are just as shocked as I am". “wow, how did it even happen?". Malison wondered out loud.“You tell me". I muttered underneath my breath.”Are you okay Annie? We know you have a huge crush on Bryan". Malison said as she scooted closer..“Nah, pfttt, I'm fine..I don't even care". Yet another lie.. I'm not fine, and I did care. My heart was aching and I felt like I was being betrayed by someone really close. And I was, right? I mean, she was my closest friend and she knew how much I liked Bryan, but she went ahead to…I don't even know their relationship status, but to me, they were dating. Bryan was not the kind of guy to move aroun
Annie's P.O.V I wasn't the type of girl to go around believing in love at first sight, but this time it felt different. When I reached down to grab my pen, I had held something else instead. Someone's hand. I looked up at the owner and my eyes nearly fell off. This guy was hot. I mean, he was extremely hot, like…I didn't know how to describe him. He had the perfect jawline, straight nose, sexy lips, and his eyes were brown and beautiful, which makes me think of the brownies I ate last night. “Uhm, sorry". I said as I let go of his hands and stood up but we hit our heads in the process. “Ouch, sorry". We both said to each other. ”So ummm…. Here". He handed the pen to me..“Thanks". I said and tucked my hair behind my ears.“Yeah". He dug his hands into his pockets..“Okay, I gotta go".I said in a somewhat awkward way.”uh? Hey". He called out as I walked past him .“yeah?". I turned to face him again.“My name is Louis by the way". He introduced, and stretched out his hands fo
Annie's P.O.V You know, if someone had told me that today was gonna be the day I was gonna die, then I would have at least prepared beforehand. Was there a way to stop my death now? When my mum was flipping through the pages of my diary with that disappointed and angry look on her face, and now, that look was directed at me..My diary was like a second me. It knew everything, my life, my friends, my curhses, my wishes and inner desires, and oh… did I forget to mention that I sometimes cuss at my fate of having her as my mum? Damn!The point is, I'm doomed and there was no two ways about it. Not to mention that I took off the hoodie before entering my room with the thought that she wasn't home..I was totally speechless. Although my room was always chill, I felt really hot and sweaty, and my heart raced faster than the cars in that game ‘Alpha nitro'.I took a step backward as my mum dropped the diary down and was taking scary steps towards me. “Come here…". Oh Lord, the tone of
Annie's P.O.V Tracing back to the events of this morning. I walked into school hiding my face, as a result of that, I bumped into someone. When I looked up, it was Bryan.Kate was with him. A girl was at my side, probably coming into school. I don't know her, but I've seen her amongst the cheerleaders. Lastly, mark, one of Bryan's friends. Those were the four person's present at that time. Starting from the girl; Suspect number fourWhy would she take my phone??One — She probably don't have one, and took mineTwo — she just wants me to feel bad for my missing phoneThree — she probably had a crush on Bryan and got upset that I bumped into him, so she wanted to get her revengeMark; suspect number threeWhy would he take my phone??One — the third reason as the girlTwo — He just wanted to keep it, find some stuff and taunt me with them..Three — he has a crush on me, and wants to know more about me.Bryan; suspect number twoWhy would he take my phone??One— he didn't take it
Annie's P.O.V I haven't entered Sam's room because there haven't been any reason to do so, but right now, there was. “So tell me". I sat, making my self comfortable on the bed. He took off his shirt and I watched his muscles flex as he did. Next was his jeans. “Could you atleast wait until I leave?". I questioned. He didn't reply, and just kept doing his thing. After he was left in only his briefs, he climbed the bed, making me adjust a little..”Okay!". He said and placed a pillow in between his legs. “So, I came back home to get something, and I had to follow the back because aunt would have scolded me for being so forgetful..As I entered through the back, I heard aunt's voice, and a woman discussing. Of course, I wouldn't have cared but I heard the woman say something about diaries, and I immediately stopped to listen. Then she said ‘I felt so insulted after reading through my child's diary..'. I immediately knew that you were in big trouble, so I rushed upstairs, to your
Annie's P.O.V The morning sun shone brightly. The light rays reflected into my room, blinding me momentarily..I reached for my phone, but when I couldn't feel it at the usual table stand, I sat up like someone waking up from a bad dream.. That's when my senses we're back and I recalled that I lost it, or rather, someone stole it when it fell yesterday..I couldn't be more sure about that..I flung the covers off my body and rushed into the bathroom like a soldier preparing for battle. But this was indeed a battle to me..I brushed my teeth and took my bath, then wore my clothes. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I knew I looked stupid. My hair was styled yet I wore clothes that were unmatching. I was like a princess who borrowed clothes from a pooper. I quickly remembered the shopping of yesterday. I had hidden those bags in the garage just in case, and I had totally forgotten about it. I rushed out of the room, and went to the garage. Sam was there. His present reminded
