"Hello?" I asked, still half asleep.
"Where are you?" Asked a demanding voice on the other end.
"Who's this again?" I asked, my eyes still closed.
"Its Beca.. do ya remember? The badass bitch you've been best friends with since we could barely talk." The voice said with attitude.
"Oh yeah. Hi, why are you calling me? Is it really that urgent?" I sighed, letting my head thump back against the pillow.
"Where are you? Why aren't you at school?" She repeated.
"I'm at home, I couldn't get out of bed again" I said ashamed. The other end of the phone went quiet for a moment
"Oh, OK" but then her optimism kicked back in. "I'm coming to see you!"
"No, don't do that" I begged her.
"To late, I love the idea. Kellin! Come on we are going to Andi's house!" I heard her yell to her boyfriend, my other best friend, Kellin.
"What about school?" I asked but by then she had hung up and hopped on Kellin's motorbike.
I don't know why, but I attempted to get up and tame my black and pink curls, or get out of my daggy PJ's. But in spite of my efforts to look presentable I collapsed next to my bed before I could do anything. I studied myself over. I am quite tall and skinny, my hair is long - almost down to my hips- my arms and legs are lanky and covered in scars. My eyes are dark and big against my thin, pale face and both my nose and ears are small and pierced. I despise the fact that I see THAT every day.
I attempted to get up again when I heard the front door open. But I fell straight back down and hit my head on the corner of my bed. As soon as Beca and Kellin came in I looked up and tryed to blink away the tears but they kept coming.
"Oh, hun" Beca said wiping my tears with her sleeve.
"Why did you try to get up? You know that when your like this you should just stay in bed" she said, her voice laced with fear.
"Yeah" Kellin started "you don't need to make yourself look better for us."
"I know, I, I just hate it when I get like this" I said, facing away from them.
"Do you want us to stay, or we can come by later?" Beca stuttered, completely transformed from the bouncy, sassy chick she usually is.
"Oh yeah, are we still on for movie night tonight? the new star wars movie is out. Opening night." Kellin said excitedly.
"OR, we could watch a movie at my house?" Beca offered.
" I don't know, you guys just go back to school. I'll be alright."
"Are you sure?" Beca asked "I've just got math and it wouldn't hurt to miss a class or two."
"Yeah, I'm sure. I'm just going to go back to sleep or draw or something."
"OK" she said, obviously not sure whether or not to leave me alone. "Come on, I'll help you up" she said, hoisting me up, it must've been pretty for her, she is quite strong. Unlike me, the sad, depressed girl she wastes her time with every day.
"OK, we'll be back tonight to pick you up" she said and passed me my phone.
"Text us if you need us" she said and blew me a kiss.
