Stranded

Cruise and counting

Jessica and I glared at each other as I came down for dinner. Apperently Jake left because I 'injured his knee and he could hardly walk!'
"Talaya what where you thinking" my mom shouted slamming her fist into the table.
I didn't answer her and focused on pushing my food around on my plate. My mom gave an exasperated sigh.
"I know why she did it" Kalina said standing up. Oh great she only does that when she's about to give a long long LONG boring speech.
"She's ooober mega jealous of Jessy's boyfriend. I even heard her say ohmygosh I love you so much and now that we are alone we can kiss. And when she leant in he leant back and said 'I can't betray your sister' so she got so jealous and angry sh kicked him in the knee" she said huffing and sitting back in her chair. I blew a lock of hair out of my face only for in to float back to its original spot.
There's no way I'm going to tell them what actually happened and I'm going on a hunger strike.
"I think what Talaya did was right" my dad mumbled taking a swig of Apple cider.
Izzy began to babble something that I couldn't understand.
"You only say that because you hate him!" Jessica shouted.
"I don't appreciate boys in the house you're lucky I haven't tossed him out of the window" he said tucking into his spaghetti.
"Ugh nothing can deny the fact that Talaya hurt him and hurt me" she said crossing her arms.
That's fucking it!
"Your going to be a lot more hurt when he takes you in some petty vacation bangs you and dumps you somewhere in the middle of the fucking road" I spat.
The whole house went quiet the dogs stopped barking Izzy stopped babbling and my dad stopped chewing.
"You stupid little whore" she said flinging a meat ball at me.
"You naive fool" I said throwing my fork at her. It missed and stabbed into our wall.
So what if it could have killed her I was pissed.
"Who would do anything to please your boyfriend? Who would obey his every command as long as he stayed cute? Who is super popular and could increase anyone's popularity if they where feeling horny enough?" I scowled and began to walk up the stairs.
"Congratulations Jessica your officially ruined" I said closing my bedroom door. I hear Jessica burst out crying yelling
"She ruins everything! Now your telling me I can't date him anymore!" She screamed. I heard her fast footsteps running and the slam of a door.
Serves her right.
I grabbed my laptop and went on facebook. They were suppose to announce the winner in of the cruise and counting competition.
"I hope I win I hope I win I hope I win" I prayed silently. The screen of my laptop brightened around the room.
I clicked on the Facebook icon.
I don't know why but a couple days ago I added Cj as a friend on Facebook.
When I scrolled down I saw a picture of him in front of the car. He edited it to say swag. And also who do you thing I would look good with.
I found myself looking at the comment section.
Myla
Myla
Alejandra.
Jada.
The last one surprised me though.
Talaya because you guys are both smart asses. I gagged when I saw this and quickly scrolled down.
I was about to look at the winner when Kalina came barging in.
"TALAYA BRAID MY HAIR" she shouted gesturing to her untamed locks.
"I'm busy" I mumbled.
"No you never busy you just say you busy" she said.
"When your in seventh grade you'll understand" I said trying to resist the urge to ignore her and look back at the screen.
"I'm smarter than you I got an A+ in math and you got an A so there" she said crossing her arms and smirking.
Here we go again
"First of all Kalina I'm in seventh grade your in sixth which makes my math harder than yours. Second of all I'm in advanced math which means when I was in your grade I did 7th grade math. Now I'm doing eight" I said smirking as I watched her smirk fade into a frown.
"Well I'll always be prettier and more cuter than you and I'll find love first and you will be alone with cats and mom won't be able to visit because she's allergic so there" she said picking up her annoying smirk.
"Love is overrated" I sneered giving her the cold shoulder.
Only when I heard her foot steps did I dare to peek at the screen.
And the winner is Talaya Francois?
Nope! It's AUSTIN!
Talaya was just the runner up.
I didn't know he was entering! This isn't freaking fair. I stared at the screen hoping this was all just a prank.gr
I looked at the link below. It said We interviewed our winner! I angrily clicked on it.
"How do you feel on winning the Cruise and Counting competition?" A man asked him holding a microphone to his face.
"To be honest I didn't actually think I was going to win. I just entered because I thought it was a fun idea but I guess I feel great!" He said smiling and blushing.
"You are quite the charmer kid. Who do you plan on taking" he asked.
"I have a person in mind" he said looking at the ground and smiling shyly.
"Who?" Th reporter pestered.
"I really don't want to say the name" he said still looking at the ground.
"Ok girl or boy?" The reporter asked leaning in.
"Girl" he said his voice cracking with embarrassment.'
"So there you have it folks he plans on taking a speacial girl!" He said.
And the video cut off. I stared at the screen I scrolled down hopelessly searching for more info.
"TALAYA GO TO SLEEP" my dad shouted from downstairs.
I closed my laptop and crawled into the covers. It sucks that I didn't win. I wonder who Austin's taking. He's probably going to take some popular cheerleader. Probably Myla.
It just isn't fair.
Life just isn't fair.
