The Ugly Bet

Chapter 22 - I Hate Mondays

Lyz

I hate Mondays.

I turned my alarm clock off and buried my face in the pillow for I don't know how long. I thought I was dozing off when the alarm went on again.

Damn alarm clock!

I reached for it and removed its batteries. There you go... I pulled the blanket up to my face. Not long when I heard loud knocks on my door. It was Marietta.

"Lyz, I know you were tired but you have to get up now and prepare for school. Today's Monday!" Then she left.

I instantly removed the blanket on my face and threw the pillow up to the ceiling just to have it landed straightly to my face.

Fuck Mondays.

I sighed and brushed my hands to my face then stared at the ceiling like I was watching there what happened this weekend. Well, that's too many and the whole ceiling of this house wouldn't be enough to display everything.

I sighed and hugged my pillow, still staring up. If Pamy didn't throw up and Ashley didn't say that she was already drunk and if Greg wasn't almost falling asleep after another round of shots, I didn't know what else I would know from them... I mean I have a bunch of shocking facts about everyone.

Greg was inlove with Ashley. Ashley have severe insecurity issues because of me. Sean was a bastard. Keith was pressured by his dad...according to Dustin.

Yeah, after Pamy throwing up, everyone seemed had too much that Dustin and I had to take them to their rooms. And because we were both not sleepy yet, we acted civil, me sharing my comforter to him and in return, he lends me his biceps to serve as a pillow as we tried to have a serious conversation while we were lying on the deck, staring at the stars scattered in the dark skies. We stayed there until I fell asleep and he woke me before dawn to see the sun rise above the lake. I closed my eyes while recalling everything that happened.

Yeah, I was the flirt of the week and the fool of the month to still let him come near me after he had kissed me during the dare when no one's even daring him to do so.

Don't you ever let that jerk kiss you again!

I instantly stood and went to shower. I have to wash everything out of my mind. The fact that I saw Dustin hugging Ashley from behind infront of this house late last night is enough evidence that the devil was just playing with 'my innocence' which he thought I still have.

Dustin doesn't really like you and will never really choose you Lyz. Stop entertaining thoughts that he wasn't really bad, coz truth is, he was worse than you could ever imagine.

Oh, I wish today's not Monday so I can just stay home and I don't have to see that jerk.

I put on a black shirt and torn jeans. Why not, there's nothing wrong to change style. I somewhat need to change a bit though it doesn't mean anything. Not because they know now that I am the real owner of the school and Ashley's cousin means that I'll be Ms.Popular girl too and wear short dresses and have a crowd of admirers following me anywhere too. I was never obsessed with praises from other people and I'll never be like them who always want the spotlight focused to them. Never.

I looked at my face in the mirror and smiled. I have my new eyeglasses on but I don't have so much of that nerdy look anymore. I actually looked more like a rockstar. I grabbed my black jacket before having my backpack on my shoulders.

"Marietta, you don't have to drive for Lyz, she's going in my car," Ashley said while giving me a smile. I smiled back and waited for her to finish her breakfast then went to her car. As she drives, she turned the music on and even hummed. She seemed so happy and so excited to go to school today and I wonder why.
