It was the day of picking a dress. For the bridesmaids. Jeremy wouldn't come with us because it was some part of the tradition. Pure bullshit, s.m.s. So it is going to be me, Amy, Janice, Anastasia, Jasmine and Theresa. Fudge me.

I don't really want to go but since it is Jeremy's wedding, I sort of have to. I can bring a plus one and a friend to the dress fitting.

I am hesitating between Fiona and Andrew. But I guess since Fiona is Jeremy's ex and Andrew is Fiona's ex, and because he is a boy, I guess I will be attending all by myself.

I sigh and walk out the door, waiting for the bus to pick me up. "Hi Mia, I am glad you made it. Oh you didn't bring anyone. That's okay. Come, the other girls are already here."

I look at my feet. "Uhm, I am coming. Just give me a second."

I take a deep breath and walk in. Bridezilla. Ugh.

Before I walk into the 'living' room, I hear voices,

"So you know Mia, right? And is she nice? Is she good in bed? How's kissing with her? She is such a slut. I mean really, Tom, why that girl? She is such a loser, and a nerd. I mean, I am way better than her, why don't you just date me?"

That's odd. Amy mutters something, then repeats it. "Anastasia, behave, please it is after all my cousin. Could you act normal? And Mia is a stupid bitch."

That was mean. "Oh, she was horrible, it was the worst I have ever had, I dated her because she paid me, and she is such a bad kisser, I think I must have been drunk most of time while I was with her, she cheated on me with my best friend. I can never forgive her. She is such an incredible slut. And she is actually really dumb."

"I actually can't stand her, she is such a goodie two shoes, but since she's Jeremy's bestfriend, I guess I'll just have to be nice to her. She is so stupid." And I think the feeling is mutual, Janice, you bitch.

I want to cry, but I must stay strong, I can do this. For Jeremy. I walk in, looking them in the eye. I don't look in Tom's direction. I want to say;"So hello, I'm Mia. The one you were just talking about bitches."

But instead I say:
"Hi. How are you all doing? I hope everyone is having a great day."

I sit down, open my bag and take out my phone. I text Andrew. He responds with an I am sorry.

I must have been smiling because Janice asks me : "So is it a text from Steven?"

Let's play who's the biggest bitch. If they think I am a slut. Fine I will behave like one.

"No, it is actually from Andrew, I dumped Steven yesterday. It is so exhausting to date two guys at the same time. It was also very hard to date Tom and Ryan at the same time. Tom wasn't that great in bed, Ryan was better so I chose Ryan. And excuse me, I have to go to the restroom. I will see you later."

"Okay."
I pack my bag and walk away. Then stop to listen to those horrible girls. "What a bitch!! Are you sure that you want her attending your wedding?"

"No, Jeremy loves me, I think I can convince him into dumping her as a best friend. Let's go to a different store."

Shit. I have to hide. No, it is better that I just go home. Or I can go to the library.

I wait for the bus at the bus station, texting Andrew while I am waiting.

"So Mia, who lit the fuse to your tampon?"

"Bugger off, asshole. You said some really nice things about me, I really appreciate it. Thank you for telling everyone the story of how I cheated on you. It isn't even the truth, you big fat dickhead. But why don't you just tell them the truth, they are expecting it from you anyway. And just so you know, I have always wanted to do this."
