King and Queen

Queen

I walked to my house without even looking at that contemptible boy.

It's not like I even want to look at him. He's done nothing but piss me off from the moment I saw him this morning.

His eyes are way too intense when he gets that far away look and just looks at me like I'm some type of enigma.

He makes me wonder what he's even thinking about when he does that.

I unlocked the door and walked inside, placing my bag down beside the door.

The girls walked over to me in a rush.

"So...Where are we going tonight?" they both said in unison.

Their energy was so contagious, I started smiling and said, "It's actually the neighbor's birthday today and his friends are throwing him a party. We're going, I just need to find out where it is."

They both jumped up and down and then rushed off to the guest rooms so they could find something to wear.

I just hope that they don't find out that we weren't even invited to this party. CALEB didn't even want me to be there.

I wonder why he doesn't want me there. It's not like I've ever given him any reason too not want me around. I mean honestly I'm a good person I'm just misunderstood by everyone around me.

They see me as this conceited brat that doesn't care about anyone's feelings, but honestly I'm nothing like that. I care about a lot of things and I do try to be nice. I really do try. It just doesn't always work out that way.

One of the girls calling my name shook me out of my daze.

"Yeah?" I say in response.

"What are you going to wear?" LANIE asked excitedly.

"Uh. I'm not sure yet. I might just borrow that black dress from SAM."

"Oh you mean the kind of short strapless one?" she asked.

I nodded my head in agreement. "Yeah that's the one. I really like that dress."

"Um...the thing is," she started. "SAM was going to let me borrow that one..."

I give her a confused look.

They both know that I always pick my outfit first and that I love that black dress. What the hell could've changed to make them think that it was even remotely okay for them to decide on outfits before me?

I gave her a small smile and said, "LANIE, you and her both know that I pick my outfit first. You know that I might want to borrow something from one of you. I'm the one that got the invite to this party and if you want to wear the black dress then find another party to go to."

She burst into a fit of laughter "LYLA, you don't run what I do. You aren't a queen or anything, as much as you'd like to believe that you are, you're not. So, you can find another outfit and we can go to this party together, or you can stay here and I'll ask the neighbor where the party is."

I stared at her in shock.

She has never talked to me that way. I don't know what has gotten into everyone today. First CALEB and now LANIE. Who's next?

I shook my head at her and said, "Fine. Be a selfish bitch. I don't care. I'll just find something else to wear."

She smirked and nodded her head at me. "I'm happy we could come to an agreement here."

"The only things we're agreeing on is that you're a selfish, pretentious, bitch, and that you'll be catching a flight home this week."

On that note, I smiled and walked away from her.

Little bitch needs to remember whose house she's staying in at the moment. Since she's my friend, I might change my mind and let her stay.

I guess it all depends on how she acts this week.

As I walked away, I found myself downstairs and walking out the back door, heading over to CALEB'S house.

I knocked on his front door for the second time today. Luckily, this time he opened the door.

I took in the unamused look on his face when he saw that it was me.

"What do you want LYLA?" he asked with a bored tone.

"Can I...um come in?" I asked hesitantly.

He gave me a look of confusion before saying, "Yeah come in."

He stepped aside and let me in. I stood in the foyer awkwardly.

"Are you ok?" he asked with concern.

"I'm not sure..." I shook my head "I don't know why I'm even here honestly."

He reached out and touched my arm to stop me from leaving.

I could see the concern on his face.

"No...stay."

Why was he so confusing?

Why am I being so confusing?

I'm supposed to hate him. Right?
