meet me in the afterglow .04

"i'm here, jeez" cindy said as she set up her camera, "ok in the count of three pose, 1,2,3" cindy says as i pose when i hear her say 3 "alright done!" cindy said showing me the picture

"oh my gosh thank you cindy!" i told her hugging her gratefully, "i'm gonna post right now!" i added "glad you like it, now i'm gonna facetime deena and sam." cindy said she told me.

i press post as i look at it for a second and scroll seeing a girl that looks way better then i do, sometimes i wish i looked like the models on instagram, they are so pretty while i have with a boyfriend that cheats on me and a mediocre body and face.

i snap out of my thoughts as i hear a notification. madison liked my post. why though? we hate each-other. we aren't even frenemies, so why would she like it? i questioned in my head then decided to ignored it.

"ziggy! sam and deena are coming over! get ready to go out!" cindy screamed louder then me singing 'jealousy jealousy' by olivia rodrigo at 3 am. "coming!" i screamed back grabbing a white plain blouse and a pink plaid skirt to match with my pink bow.

minutes go by waiting for deena and sam to knock on our door as i get dressed.

knock knock

cindy ran to the door, opening it for them. "hey sam, hey dee!" cindy said hugging both of them, "ziggy, deena and sam is here!" cindy screamed "jeez, ill be down!" ziggy screamed back

i brush my skirt as i go downstairs. "hey sam and deena! yall ready for a girls day?" i spoke softly "yup! super excited!" sam said as deena was texting someone "mhm, same" deena said not looking up from her phone

"you look very pretty in that outfit by the way!" sam smiled "thanks i love yours too!" ziggy smiled back. "alright well it's time to go!" cindy smiled, walking to the car as i put my black headphones on.

i go on my phone to play some lana del ray. i pick ride by lana and start humming the song. "what song are you listening to?" sam asked "mh? oh uhm ride by lana del ray!" i told her as i open my phone and show her the spotify page.

"ooo lana!" sam smiled as i rolled my eyes "why are you acting like i'm not obsessed with lana?" i giggled "because i love messing with you" sam said shaking my hair "sam! i just straightening my hair, my gosh!" i pushed her softly

"that's what you get loser!" sam smiled. me and sam are literally best friends. my ride or die. she reminds me of madison before she turned cruel. maybe that's why i love sam so much. im just scared she'll turn into the monster madison turned too. the wannabe popular girl in mean girls.

sometimes i lay down for hours and think what could have happened if madison stayed like the madison i met when we were six. "ziggy?" deena tapped my shoulder tapping me out of my thoughts.

"yeah?" i replied "you good? you look like you're gonna cry." deena concernedly smiled "yeah, put me on a movie is playing and it's really sad." i partly lied, the song was on but i wasnt sad because of lana, i was sad because madison turned evil.

i started looking out the window, looking at all the trees, the sky, and the lights all around town. our town was really pretty in fall time. it reminds me of my first day of school in this town. kindergarten. pre-k was in new york city. but every since i moved here i loved every second.

well not every since. i hated it here in kindergarten but 1st grade made me realize how great this place is. it's not like the big city and i liked that. then afterglow by taylor starts playing. my favorite taylor swift song.

i love afterglow because it shows that you can apologize, even in the most healthy relationship. "hey, it's on me, just don't go, meet me in the afterglow"

taylor literally makes a song for everyone. i relate to so many of her songs, mostly because of madison and nick. but one i related to the most was my tears ricochet.

madison really made me realize that not everyone is who you think they are. one day they are your best friend, the person you'll be dancing with at your afterparty wedding. but things change.

i will always madison but i'll probably never forgive her cause i don't think she'll ever change. maybe she has, maybe she regrets what she did to me. but we will never know till she will exactly tell me. which she probably won't.

"we're here guys!" cindy spoke, parking the car.

A/N: short chapter cause i don't really know what to write after this but this chapter is very important to me cause i see myself in what i wrote for ziggy. the perfect girl in the outside and the ugly girl in the inside.
