It's friday night and I was forced by my friends to go partying with them at some stranger's house. I didn't want to. Basically because I just broke up with my boyfriend and I'm still bitter about it.

It had been a week since Josh and I had broke up. He cheated on me so I broke it off with him. My feelings were badly hurt about it, especially my pride. I mean, how dare him cheat on me? That obnoxious bastard.

Anyway, it was great of my friends to force me come with them and then leave me all alone behind while they are partying the remaining daylights of them on the dance floor. I knew I shouldn't have gone with them here.

"Ylona," I heard Carlie shout. I looked toward the source of the voice and saw her pushing herself through the mass of dancing bodies to get to me. "live a little atleast!" She added just as she got beside me. I barely heard her speak through the loud music, but her voice was louder.

"Carlie, I came here because I don't plan to live my life." I sarcastically told her. Carlie just rolled her eyes and snatched my drink that I've been holding. Apparently though, I wasn't expecting her to finish it in just one gulp. I scowled at her. Talk about manners.

Rolling my eyes off Carlie, I saw Dianne saunting towards us. When she came, she put a hand on my shoulder and naively smiled at me. "Hey, are you having fun?" She asked.

"Oh, don't bother. I was genuinely having fun. Really, I actually might have had been counting sheeps." I sarcastically retorted once again. Well, I'm really starting to get annoyed. I mean, where were they when I needed them?

Dianne chuckled despite of my exasperation. "We brought you here to party. To take that bitterness out of your system even in just for a night, Ylona."

I grimaced. It did not make sense to me at all. "You think it's easy to get over someone you loved for almost 6 months and thought he loved you back, but all along he was just playing you?" I felt my eyes burn but quickly blinked it away. I'm not planning on crying any more tear.

"Oh c'mon. He's a jerk, Ylona. You shouldn't put yourself that low and make him see he's left you heartbreak. He doesn't deserve to know he affected you." Carlie butted in.

At some point, that did make sense. I have been acting like a bitch to Adrian . But that's because I couldn't bear to see him. Everytime I see him, I remember the day he kissed another girl! And then everything just gets blank, I could scarcely think. He built a beast in me.

"No one understands. As much as I would like to be that nice forgiving ex, I just couldn't be!" I blurted out.

"OMG guys. Guess what happened to me?" I heard Shane said, taking our attentions. Finally, the most party girl among us appeared.

"OMG, Shane. Guess what happened here too?" Carlie impassively asked her back, making me chuckle and the rest. She just gave us an innocent confused look.

"Forget it. The topic isn't going anywhere anyway." I told Shane.

"Is this about Adrian again?" Shane crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow at me.

"Definitely right." Dianne cuts in in a sing-song tone.

"We're telling her to forget that bastard." Carlie added.

"Well, speak of the devil, I saw that bastard." Shane informed us. It caused me mini heart attack.

"What- are you saying that he's here?" My heart raced up by just the thought of it. Not because I still feel something for him- if there's any, that would only be hatred- but because I dont know what I could ever do if I see him.

"I just told." Shane retorted and then raised her hand to point something across us. "He's over there with his friends."

As I followed where her finger is pointed at, I saw the boy that once made my stomach flip. It's funny how I loved him before but hate him now.

"Oho. I can see he enjoys being single." Carlie said to herself with disbelief in her voice.

While my blood boils up in anger because of that guy's mere presence, a hand touched my back and gently stroked it. I looked at Dianne. Seriously, what's with her hand and her? "Ylona, like what I said. He's not worth it."

I scowled. She can't ever feel what I feel until she hasn't experienced it herself.

"You know what's fun to get back at him?" The three of us snapped our heads to Carlie. "Why don't you be like a mirror to him?" Carlie finished with a creepy smirk.

I could only stare at her. To be honest, I'm still processing what she has suggested. And while in the process of understanding Carlie, Shane was the first to get it like always.

"Oh my gosh. You're so brilliant Carlie!" Shane squealed. "And speaking of that, what I've been meaning to say to you guys earlier was that I've met someone hot who has a super duper hot friend. I think you could do that someone's super duper hot friend. He seems pretty vacant and... snobbish though."

Okay. First thing's first. How did she even understand that? It's like they have their own language no one can understand. Sometimes, I wonder if they have telephaty. They always understand each other somehow.

"You know, I'm always the angel of our group. Always the guardian that thinks that she has obligations to lead you children to the light. But right now, I'm going to be the devil. I totally agree with the two, Ylona." Dianne said and we stared at her like she had grown tits on her forehead.

Now, Even Dianne got Carlie's, which I'll call, 'riddle'. Does that mean that I'm the one who has a turtle brain here?

"Wow. Dianne, that's very.... discerning of you." Carlie mocked after seconds later. "Anyway, mother Shane already gave us her consent. Do it Ylona. Let's see how he would react if he saw you doing the same he did to you." She added to me whilst Shane frowned at her. Anyway, I think I can almost grasp the thought of Carlie's riddle.

A little later, I finally realized what they meant.

Maybe I should do it. But first, I have to check if everything will worth it or not. I think a glimpse of his face would start to fuel my anger, and that would be nice cause I can do the plan.

Deciding to look at Adrian who is across the room, I caught him staring at me. I quickly looked away, saving the left pride of me.

What is he staring at?! Is he staring because he feel remorsed for me?! If that's the case then how dare him?! I've already put my pride way down when I started going out with him before! And yes I've been an idiot, but that's all in the past! I'm not going to be that stupid girl who once fell for him again!

And maybe my friends are right. Maybe I should kiss someone in front of him just like what he did. I wonder how he would feel seeing that his ex girlfriend didn't care about the broken relationship.
