You're the Worst

Chapter 1

I was around seventeen when everything started. I started out my year with a Christmas party. Yes of course I know it's not really starting the year just yet, but that's just where I'm starting things off. I was at Connie Janes Christmas party, or drink anything that you see until you throw up party as I like to call it. Connie Janes is the most popular girl in school, and let me just say, I hate her guts. The only reason why I'm here is because my parents are driving me insane. I needed to get out of the house. They're always asking, "Daniella, when are you gonna get a job?" "Daniella when are you gonna get a boyfriend?" "Daniella what do you want to do when you grow up?" I hate those questions. I mean, how do I know what I wanna be?
Anyways back to the party. I was at the party drinking the only thing that did not include alcohol or any other weird substance. You know parties can get a little out of hand. I was standing by the staircase as all the sweaty and wasted teenagers created the chaos around me. Connie Janes an her dumb friend, Rachel Burings, came up to me. You could tell they hadn't had anything to drink at all. I guess she just wanted to look like the innocent kid when the cops showed up, which won't surprise me when they do.
"Well if it isn't little miss Daniella." She said snootily, if that's even a word. Then, of course with great timing, Zachary Woods walked up next to her and smiled down at me. He was only like an inch taller than me, but he always rubbed it in.
Maybe I should explain Zachary Woods a little better. He's that one person I have known since like, I don't know, forever. We're nehbors. His mom went to high school with my mom and they're like close friends or whatever. Anyways, he's like the most popular boy in school and I can't stand him. He's so annoying. Like every night he has a new girl over at his house, and I don't want to know what he does. Sometimes when he sleeps in I throw a ball through my window so it hits his and he's so scared. His face is priceless.
Wait still getting off track. Okay so it was at the party and Zachary Woods showed up. "Well hello Daniella. What are you doing here? I thought parties weren't your thing." He asked. "Well as much as I love parties, and really Connie yours are the best, I would rather be curled up with pizza and a movie." I said. He laughed and rolled his eyes. Connie looked annoyed, as usual. "Well whatever you want to do, you should really have something to drink." She said. I held up my cup knowing exactly what she was trying to do. "No silly, some of this." She picked up a cup of the alcoholic beverage. "Yeah no effence, Connie but I'm not that stupid." I said taking a drink of what I already had.
"As lovely as this meeting has been, I really should be on my way. It was nice seeing all of you again." I said setting drink down and walking out to my car. As I walked out I could see the police pull up. 'Oh great,' I thought. 'How wonderful'. I rushed to my car and sped off. I reached my house and walked in to find my parents passed out on the couch. It must've been movie night. I walked up the stairs to my room. I lived in the whole upstairs. It was only a bedroom and a bathroom, but it was huge. I put a mini fridge an microwave in my room so I could make popcorn and pizza.
I picked out a movie and popped it in. I started some popcorn and grabbed some leftover pizza. I was watching Paranormal Activity 4 and laughing so hard because let's admit it, didn't we all when we saw it. Anyways I heard yelling and screaming coming from outside. I looked my window to see Zachary Woods and his parents. I guess something bad happened. I knew his parents got upset when he did the wrong thing. Maybe all my dreams had come true and he got arrested. They went in the house. Zachary appeared in his room yelled something that I couldn't understand and slammed the door. He plopped down on his bed. He sat there for a minute or so before he caught my eye. I looked back at my movie like I hadn't seen anything. Out of the corner of my eye I could see him open his window. I took that as an invitation to open mine.
"Hey loser," I said popping my head out. "What kind of trouble did ya get yourself into this time?" I asked.
"I got arrested." He said sadly.
"Yeah so? You're actually sad about this?" I asked confused.
"Well I mean, I've done a lot of bad things-"
"Yeah I've noticed." I said interrupting him.
He rolled his eyes an continued, "I just... I've never been arrested before. I mean my parents... What am I going to do Dani?" He rarely asked me for advice. It was mainly over which girl he should ask over that night or not. You see I get all the drama at school. I know what's happening before anyone else.
"Well, I'm watching a movie. I've got some extra bags of popcorn and a few more slices of pizza." I said.
"Can't. Grounded." He replied.
"Since when has that ever kept you down?" I asked. I ran to my closet and grabbed my ladder. Okay yes I eked a ladder in my closet, but only because I like to climb to the roof sometimes. I extended it and placed on my window. It reached out to his so he could climb over. When he reached we closed the window and he started the popcorn.
"You know, I've never really understood this movie." He said.
"It's kinda stupid if you ask me." I replied.
"You know your never this nice to me." He said.
"Well I thought you need something to cheer you up. But remember, I still hate you."
