It wasn't the first time I had a nightmare.
The thing about nightmares is that you have them and then you wake up afraid and breathing fast like you just fell off a cliff and realized there was river and you just managed to stay alive.
The only difference is that you can wake up from a nightmare and realize that the nightmare has only just begun.
"For the love of God, Alseia. Get up." Nina rolled her eyes, already wearing her school uniform.
And I remembered.
I remembered staying awake with Nina all night. I remembered using up all the tissue and eating Ice Cream while watching a couple of old Kim Possible episodes. And I remembered crying because if even Ron Stoppable could get out of the Friendzone I must have really been the lowest kind of loser.
I remembered that I was the heartbreaker once, until I got utterly and unceremoniously rejected. by my best friend.
And even worse, I remembered I had to see him at school that day.
I groaned and buried my head in my pillow.
"Kill me now" Nina laughed and threw my clothes in my face.
"You can do this. Besides." She said with a wicked grin. "It's three weeks until we graduate, how hard can it be to survive that?" She shrugged.
I nodded and got up but I knew better.
Knowing my luck, I have yet to feel the full brunt of this rejection. This is only the beginning of a nightmare except there's no waking up from this one.
"I'm going to take a shower" I said, Nina gave me a look that told me she wasn't buying it. But she let me go anyway and I was thankful for that.
At least, in the shower, my parents wouldn't hear me sob. At least, in the spray, I can hide the fact that I've started crying again.
