The next morning wasn't any better. My eyes were red and puffy, my nose was running like a faucet, and my hair was a mess of knots inside my ponytail. It was about to get worse when Thalia and Brianna skipped into my room and closed the door behind them.
"Well, well, well...." Brianna murmured while stepping closer to me.
I got off my bed and was about to yell at them to get out when Thalia said, "What does he see in you?" She had started to circle me now and continued. "You look horrible. Your eyes are red and your hair's a mess. And what girl wears large, baggy, men's sweatpants. I just don't get it."
"I don't know what you're talking about. NOW GET OUT!!!" I screamed in their faces.
"We aren't leaving until you tell us what we want to know," Brianna replied while looking at her nails.
"What do you want to know?" I asked.
"You know what we want to know. Don't act all stupid and dumb around us," Thalia snarled.
"I have no clue what you want to know," I responded trying to act calm but I could feel the angry rushing through my body.
"We want to know why a hot guy like Jonas would ever want to date you," Brianna said.
"How do you know about Jonas?" I questioned.
"We saw him drive you home yesterday night," Thalia stated with a slight giggle.
"Okay. I was at Jonas's shooting some hoops. Is that all?" I gestured to the door to indicate they could leave.
"No. We want to know why he likes a girl like you and not us," Brianna countered, "Spill it."
"I think Jonas likes me because I listen to him and not just blab about myself and obsess over clothes." I recalled our conversation last night.
"Okay. I told you what you wanted to know. Now leave."
I opened the door but before they both left Thalia said, "Hopefully for your sake he really likes you."
"Why?" I wondered.
"Because you won't be seeing him much now that you can't have time to yourself." Thalia looked me in the eye and finished her thought. "You might not even kiss him again."
But before I could yell at Thalia, they had both left the room, laughing.
I clued into Thalia's last comment while I was closing the door. Thalia and Brianna saw Jonas and me kiss.
Why had everyone watched that kiss?
