It has been two weeks since I've talked to Rebekkah. The last encounter of which we spoke was in the bathroom on the day of the party.

Classes have been dull. Everything is dull without her! Without her help, the Fiery Five have been targeting me more than ever. I want this to end! I don't have anyone to help me. I don't have anyone to talk to about this situation. I feel alone.

As well as sounding like a pathetic loser.

*bzzzzz*

Losing my train of thought, I sit up in my ceiling chair and look around my room trying to find my phone. What if it was Rebekkah?

'Don't get your hopes up' says a voice in the back if my head.

I sit there not sure what to do. Should I find it and see if it's her or should I leave my phone alone?

Curiosity nips at my ass and I scavenge to look for my phone.

Finding it, I go back to my ceiling chair and sit down turning the screen on seeing I received a text from an unknown number.

Unknown: Hey Shawni, it's Josh. I was wondering if we could hang out today? Just the two of us? Or if that's too awkward you can bring a friend and I'll bring one too.

How did he even get my number? I never gave it to him at the party. The party. They were outside my car. Dylan. 

Oh, Dylan. 

I saved Josh's number into my phone and texted him back.

Me: Yeah sure. It can just be us two. Where do you want to meet up at?

Josh: What about that place Chomp Burger Diner?

Me: Yeah! See you there!

I get up off my ceiling chair, go to my closet picking out a pair of skinny jeans, a white tier ruffle cropped knit tank top, and a pair of light tan Sperrys.

I put my phone into my back pocket and grab my keys running out of the house to my car.

Entering the diner, I scan for Josh.

"Hey Shawni!" says Arlene behind the counter. I smile and walk up to her.

"I haven't seem you in a while! Where have you been?" I ask.

"I've been in my A Capella group. We won National Championship!" Arlene jumps up and down with joy.

"Congrats girly!" I go behind the counter and give her a hug.

"Our group has been invited to compete worldwide as well! I seriously can't wait! We've been working our asses off! You sh-"

*ding ding*

"Chompy Combo at table 5, sis!" Stan interrupts Arlene through the mini window.

"You should come to my show sometime alright?" Arlene says, getting the meals and bringing it to the designated tables.

I decide to go sit in the huge booth in the back corner as always. I've even engraved my name into the table to where I sit.

Childish right? Oh well.

I sit there for about an hour and Josh hasn't arrived yet.

"Everything okay here?" Arlene comes up to the booth. I nod my head in response.

"If there's anything you need, just let me know," Arlene smiles and walks off greeting the new customers in the booth two down.

*bzzzzz*

I jump at the sudden vibration in my back pocket from my phone. I lean back in the booth so I can get it out of my pocket. I open my inbox seeing I got a text from Josh.

Josh: Running late. Something came up. I'll be there soon! Give me an hour or so.

Seriously? I'm not going to sit here for another minute! He could be off right now with another girl for all I no. Even worse, he could be with Daniel who is explaining the whole thing to him. I text him back furiously.

Me: An hour? Fantastic! Seems like this was a waste of time! Next time, don't bother setting up another get together. Forget it!

I hit send and a sharp pain hits me right in the feelings. Yes, in the feelings. That place right in the pit if your chest near your heart, but not fully a heart break. More like guilt. Damn I'm such a bitch. Sure, truth hurts, but I was tired of waiting.

I place a $10 on the table for Arlene and head out the door hopping into my car.

I turn on the engine and crank up the music.

*knock knock*

I look at the person who just knocked on my window and smile.
