"Zoya, WAKE UP!" My mom yelped.
"Its summer leave me alone!" I whimpered half asleep shoving the pillow on my head.
"I can't believe you forgot!" She yelled as she walked towards me and ripped my bedding off.
"The Cameron's wanted to have the annual brunch earlier this year since all the kids are leaving." She said with her hands around her hips bossing me around.
"WHAT?" I screamed throwing the pillow across the room.
"I texted you last week about it!!" She said as she walked out of my room.
She sternly stopped at my door and said. "You better get ready within 10 minutes, they will be here soon."
"Ugh my head is pounding." I hated being hung over. I flipped over to my phone and looked at the time.
"ELEVEN THIRTY!!" I screamed.
I ran to my bathroom and showered. Almost slipping on the wet floor i looked through my closet trying to find something nice.
"So nice to see you!" My mom says as she opened the front doors.
"SHIT" i screamed. I pulled up a sundress and threw on platformed sandals.
I ran downstairs with my hair leaving a water trail behind me. I heard the voices more louder as i walked towards the kitchen.
"Hello beautiful women!" Mrs cameron shouted.
"Oh my goodness, love the dress" she screeched as she embraced me into a loving hug. "Thank you Rose!" I smiled, like that hug didn't give me a migraine.
"Outside everything is set up, omelette bar and mimosas!" My mom smiled as she directed them to the outside.
As soon as they left i grunted and kicked the bottom of the cabinet. "I need Coffee." I slouched my way outside to retrieve my coffee.
"And thats how i got a scholarship to John Hopkins."
"The wedding is in august!"
No fucking way, Sarah And John B. I start to quietly go back into the house. I opened the door with my hand around my back and bumped into a big body.
"OUCH!!" I screamed as i got knocked into the grass. I began to burst out crying. What was wrong with me? I got with john b WHOS engaged. I swore never to be a home wrecker. My life was crashing and this set me off.
I didn't realize i was now the center of attention.
"Im so sorry, are you okay?" A masculine voice calls out from beside me.
"What's her problem?" Sarah said annoyed.
"We should probably help her." John B said worried.
"I don't need help" I said as rubbed my head.
"Im so sorry everyone, Zoya's overdramatic." Mom yelped out to everyone, clearly embarrassed.
I stood up embarrassed myself. "Could you please excuse me Everyone." mocking my moms statement.
This time i turned around to open the glass door. And then, with great timing i locked eyes with him.
"Zoya." Rafe said as his face went blank. Not knowing what to say to me, not because of the scene i caused, but from nine months ago.
I walked right past him. Not locking eyes, not even looking at him. Like he was a ghost left in my past, I don't think i could ever look at him again.
"I don't know what the hell is her problem, Im sorry Rafe. She's not the daughter i raised, she hasn't been the same."i heard moms voice faintly as i stood in the kitchen.
"What do you mean hasn't been the same?" Rafe asked.
"She's not the same Zoya as she was in the beginning of her senior year, I don't recognize her anymore."
That final sentence set me off. Quickly i ran up my stairs, sobbing uncontrollably . Both of the reasons I'm not the same Zoya are at my house. Both worlds clashing. The only thing that made me feel normal was-
"FUCK" as i went in my sock cabinet my stash was empty. Quickly i called Wyatt.
"please pick up" i whispered to myself.
"Hey Zoya." Wyatt said over the phone.
"I'm out, could you come to my house."
"Are you okay? I can hear you crying." He asked worried.
"Im just not having a good day, can you come or what?"
"Just leaving a family thing, Im five minutes away."
"You're an angel, see you."
Quickly i changed into a pink silk dress, fixed my drippy makeup too.
"And who are you?" Rafe's voice called out as he opened the door.
"shit." Quickly i ran downstairs,
"Zoya, who is this young man?" Mom asked.
"Im coming!" I yelped as i ran down the staircase. As i made my way to the bottom everyone had made their way to the living room. Standing around drinking mimosas. But once again, i was the center of attention.
"Oh hey!" Wyatt said awkwardly as he stood there in a pink button down and khaki shorts. Realizing everyone was looking at him.
"Hey Wyatt!" Trying to keep my composure.
I turned my head to my mom, "This is Wyatt!" I say smiling.
"I didn't know you were inviting people Zoya." Mom said skeptical.
Poor wyatt.
"Wait weren't you in my math class?" John B said loudly.
"Sat behind you man!" Wyatt replied looking hella uncomfortable.
"And Zoya, Whos wyatt?" She asked again.
"Hes-" Quickly Wyatt cut me off, Trying to save me.
"Im her boyfriend!" He said quickly still standing outside.
"I didn't know you had a boyfriend! How long have you been hiding this!" Mom looked excited?
"A couple months.." I lied.
"Invite him in already!" Sarah said as she rolled her eyes.
I looked over to her for a moment and realized John B and Rafe were looking at me. Envy smudged on their faces. A look I've seen on john B last night. But I've never seen this look on Rafe.
