I woke to a notification on my phone.
Tired and lazy, I ignored it, only turning in bed to my side. Whoever was bothering me on a Saturday could wait.
Another ding and I silently groaned, cursing whoever was interrupting my beauty sleep.
I reached over and grabbed my phone, wincing at the brightness.
And then my expression fell.
I swiped up. "No, no, no, no," I muttered, clicking my Instagram.
ALASKA CASSIDY AND ROWEN HENDRIX SPOTTED TOGETHER LAST NIGHT, a post read.
Oh, fucking shit.
I kept scrolling, sitting up. My eyes hurt from how intensely they were widened.
ALASKA CASSIDY SEEN DRUNK AT PARTY.

I dialed the number marked unknown in my text messages, practically shaking with anger and embarrassment as realization set in.

"I don't believe you," I whispered.
"Why? Alaska."
"You hate me, don't you?" I muttered.
"I..."
"You do," I answered for him. "You hate me, and you did this."
"I didn't!"
"Liar!" I shouted. "You staged all of this so I would be ruined, didn't you?"
