Bad Girl Gone Good

Chapter 9

Mia woke up the next morning late for school. She turned over in bed and looked at her phone. She had twenty missed calls from Tia. Mia sighed and went right back to sleep. She was not in the mood to go to school after yesterday. Since she didn't hear her mom call her to wake up that must've meant that she was out of town again with some guy.

As soon as she drifted over, she heard a bang on her door.

"Mia! Get your lazy butt up! " yelled Tia from the other side.

Mia groaned and put a pillow over her head. She was not in the mood to see Tia right now. She did not want to see anyone.

"Mia! I know you hear me! Can one of you maids open this door? I need to get in there." Yelled Tia some more.

There was shuffling noises outside and a sound of keys jingling.

Bang! Mia's door swung open. Tia marched over to Mia and yanked the covers off her.

"What the hell Tia?" Yelled Mia.

"It's time for you to get up missy! " Tia grabbed the pillow off Mia's head and threw it on the floor. She grabbed Mia and pushed her into the bathroom.

She shut the door and said, "Hurry up and shower. And don't think you can take all day because I know your maid has a key for the bathroom too. Don't make me drag you out naked from the shower."

Mia grunted, but didn't fight Tia on it. She knew when Tia meant business. Mia took off her clothes and hopped in the shower. She let the water hit her as all the memories of yesterday crossed her mind. She didn't know what she was going to do and what she could even do. She just wanted to disappear. She turned the water up more, not caring that the water was so hot she would end up getting rashes later. She sat down in the shower and pulled her knees up to her chest. The tears started rolling down uncontrollably. She just felt like such a horrible person. She couldn't be who she really wanted to be. She cried and cried for what felt like hours. She was so happy she turned the water up because she did not want Tia to hear her. 

Then, she heard banging on the bathroom door.

"Mia! You can't be that dirty! Don't make me get the keys. I am serious!" screamed Tia as she banged the door. 

Mia wiped her face. She didn't even know what she was wiping because her tears were flowing with the running water. She picked herself up from the shower floor and rinsed off her body quickly. She turned off the shower and grabbed her towel. She got out of the shower and wiped her face one more time. She looked in the mirror and saw that the rims around her green eyes were red and puffy. She could not go out there because she knew Tia would notice. She grabbed all makeup on her bathroom counter and put it on her face. By the time she was done, she looked semi-normal. She knew she did not look as pretty as usual, but at the moment she did not care.

She opened the door to see Tia tapping her foot and her arms balled up. 

"Finally! The Queen is out of the shower!" Tia said sarcastically. Mia rolled her eyes and went to put on her clothes. 

She turned around to Tia and asked , "Are you just going to stand there while I put my clothes on?"

"Good point. I love you like a sister, but not that much. I'll be right outside so don't try .."

"To go to sleep. I got it Tia. NOW GET OUT!" Mia yelled while pointing to the door.

Tia's eye went wide and then she made an annoyed face.

"Got it Miss Snappy. Who messed with you this morning?" Tia said innocently like she didn't do anything to Mia and walked out Mia's room. 

Mia screamed of annoyance and sat down on her bed. She loved Tia like a sister, but sometimes she could be a pain in the booty. Mia took her sweet time to get dressed just to bother Tia and then walked out her bedroom.

"See aren't you happy you went to school? Hottie from economics asked you out." Tia said smiling to herself, mentally crossing something off her list in her head. 

"You must've missed the part when I rejected him. I told you yesterday that I wanted nothing to do with him." Mia explained. 

Tia stopped in her tracks and looked at Mia shocked. She could not believe what she just heard. 

"Wait.. WHAT?!" Tia yelled in shock, causing people to stop in the hallway and look at them.

"Tia, stop. You're causing people to look at us." Mia said quietly. 

"So! Let them look. We are the most popular girls in school." Tia said with a smirk.

Mia sighed and gave up. 

"So! That doesn't mean we always have to make a scene." Mia said and walked away.

As she was walking away, she stopped and turned around.

"Oh and by the way, Hottie from Economics name is Timothy. I turned him down because he is actually interested in you and only asked me out because he wanted to make you jealous." Mia said and kept on walking until she was right out the school. She stood still on the steps outside of the school thinking of what to do next. 

She wanted to be far away from Tia. She wanted to be far away from this school. She just wanted somewhere to go where she could let out all her frustration in peace and not be bothered or judged. 

Then it hit her. She knew just the place to go to.
