                The next morning I woke up, laying next to a still snoring Alexandria. She may be pretty during the day but I swear the girl could make a scare crow scream when she is asleep. I rolled out of bed, searching for the small buzzing noise that had woken me up. I followed the noise to Alexandria’s bag and found her cellphone. We were the kind of friends that trusted each other enough to read each other’s texts without a problem. I normally didn’t like to do this though because it made me feel like I was invading her privacy. Oh well, she deserves it this time, after everything that she has done to me.

                I looked down at her phone and clicked on the text. It was from Steven, just my luck. I read it. Nothing much but the usual you are so beautiful , I love you so much. A bunch of mushy bullshit in my book. I closed her phone and got up and found clothes to take a shower.

                Walking into the bathroom I had already started to get undressed, like normal , it was a habit of mine to leave a trail behind. I stepped into the hot shower, letting the hot water relax my tense muscles. Normally, in the shower all my thoughts would be swept away and I would focus on the feel of the water and smell of my cherry blossom shower gel, but today I had no such luck. No matter how hard I tried I couldn’t get Steven out of my mind.

                The main reason that Steven and I had broken up was because of  Alexandria. He had still had feelings for her when we were together. I couldn’t be with him when I knew he wasn’t truly mine. But still, she didn’t deserve him. She still doesn’t. I cant believe that he would end a relationship with me, just to have a meaningless one with her. I’m sure she doesn’t even know anything about him though. I know his dreams, his favorite foods, favorite songs. I paid attention when he talked and wasn’t always self absorbed. But yet, I still wasn’t good enough.

                I turned the water off and stepped out of the shower, wrapping my towel around myself. Never again would I let myself fall for a loser like Steven. Today was the day I was going to start making a change in my life. No longer would guys use me as their little play toy. I would use them.

                After my shower I had decided to make some breakfast. I scrambled some eggs and buttered the toast. After pushing everything onto two plates, I began my trek to my bedroom, hoping not to be stopped on the way. Luckily, I made it unscathed. I walked into my bedroom holding the plates of food, one in each hand. I was startled when I saw Alexandria sitting up in the bed, rubbing sleep out of her eyes.

                “What time is it?” she mumbled.

                “Oh its about eleven now.” I murmured in reply as I walked farther into the room, setting her plate down on the nightstand that lay adjacent to my bed. “I made you breakfast.” I said with a smile.

                “Thanks” she whispered.

                We sat there and ate, the only sound filling the room was the repetitious sound of forks clinging against plates.

                “I should get going” Alexandria said, moving from bed to door in a hurry. She grabbed her bag on her way out as well. “I’ll text you.”

                Before I could say anything else she was out my door and up the stairs. I sat there speechless. Now that was strange, I thought to myself. Looking around the room I noticed something on the floor that was not mine. I got up and walked over to it. I slowly bent down and picked it up, realizing that it was Alexandria ‘s phone. How cliché, the girl runs away unexpectedly, and leaves behind her cell phone.

                My day wasn’t to bad, I did my usual cleaning, but today my parents were gone. I finally had some freedom. I started to blast Lady Gaga on my stereo, and sang along at the top of my lungs. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t a horrible singer, but that didn’t mean I was good either. Knowing I probably wouldn’t get this opportunity again for a while I took advantage of the situation and ran through my house, sliding on the wood floors, dancing around like I was on crack, and just having a good time. That didn’t last very long though. My parents soon returned home and  I was sent down to my bedroom.

                I laid there staring at my ceiling before curiosity took complete control of my body. I couldn’t handle it anymore. I sat up and moved to my nightstand where I had been keeping Alexandria’s phone, I slowly opened the drawer, in fear of someone would catch me. I pulled the phone out of the drawer and started slowly scrolling through the messages. In hopes of finding  something interesting. I got to the messages from Steven and I just couldn’t help myself. I had to see.

When wil I get to see yu??

I luv u

Plz reply.

Y do u keep doin dis 2 me?

These messages confused me, a lot. Why isn’t she replying??? What does she keep doing? I have to find out what is going on in this relationship. For some reason I think its my right to know. Well I care about Steven, and I don’t want him to get hurt, especially if it is some relationship with a spoiled brat. Why should she have him when I cant. She doesn’t even love him like I do. I would be so much better for him. Wait, hold the phone, did I just say I loved Steven!?!?!? Oh gosh, for some reason my life just got 10x harder, and I have no clue how I am going to get through all this.
