Shopping for Love

Chapter 42

Shanaya's POV :

I woke up on Tuesday morning, not wanting to get up.

Yes, I'm going to sleep and make out with my bed. Sorry Brooklyn, I cheated on you with this gorgeous beauty lying underneath me. Bed, I fucking love you.

I sighed happily, only to scream the next second. I open my eyes to find Alice shaking the life out of me.

'Get up Shan!' Alice shrieked into my ear, 'Stop sleeping with your bed!'

Oh my God, I think I just all of the crap about my bed out loud!

'Yeah you did.' Katie said.

Shit, there I go again.

'What are you guys doing this early in the morning?' I said. It was 6:30am. I groaned and let my head hit my oh-so sexy pillow.

'Shanaya Malhotra, you will get up this instant!'Jess said. I groaned and pushed myself up.

'What do you guys want?' I asked, annoyed.

No one gets in between me and my beauty sleep.

'Well someone's on their period. Don't worry. Now get up and get ready, we're, more like you, are going to walk into college like nothing happened yesterday.' Katie said.

Oh yeah. Yesterday. The day when I clarified that I was almost raped, abused, and what not. Students from the canteen had posted the video from what happened yesterday at lunch, onto the internet. The video and I was the trending topic of every gossip site on the internet, not to mention the T.V as well.

'Ugh, I don't care. All I want right now is sleep.' I said.

'Nope. Now get your lazy ass out of bed.' Alice said, hauling me out of bed.

I glared at my friends as I stomped lazily to my ensuite and did my usual routine. I had been handed my clothes, which I gladly put on.

I was now standing in front of my mirror, wearing a brown jumper over my whitish creamish full sleeved top. I also wore my light brown jeans and matching flat heeled boots. A matching necklace and scarf was placed round my neck, bracelet clutch on my left rist. I combed my hair, my long brown curly hair falling well past my shoulders, down to my waist, depite being in a high ponytail. I did my normal make up and was pleased with the overall result. I just grabbed my matching cream coat and grabbed my bag.

'All done.' I announced.

'Great. You look fab.' Jess said, smiling. I said thank you and we headed out of my room.

The second I opened my door, my puppies came bounding towards me, yapping.

'Aww. Morning to you all!' I said, bending down to pet them. They followed us down and I gave them their breakfast. We all had ours too and then set off.

'Where's Brooklyn?' I asked. He always picked me up in the morning, I don't know why. I have my own car and driver's licence.

'Oh, we told him not to pick you up cause you're hitching a ride with us.' Katie said.

'Fine by me.' I said shrugging. We finished and headed off to college in Katie's car. We parked and walked towards the main building.

To say I was nervous was an understatement. I was beyond nervous. I really didn't want people to treat me like shit or lower class and neither did I want them to treat me like a fragile piece of china and show me sympathy. That was the whole reason why I kept my secret a secret. I didn't want anybody's pity sympathy, if it is real at all.

The girls linked arms with me as I tried to walk confidently into the building. They dropped me off at my locker and we decided to part ways and meet up in our social room. I opened and locker and got out my needed stuff, and then shut it again.
