On purpose

Chapter 9

The party was really cool. Actually, there came more people I thought there would, but I didn't matter. I was having the time of my life. It was amazing. All the people were laughing and drinking and eating pizza, which turned out to be not enough. That didn't really matter because after it was finished, some guys came with 5 large pizza's. Anyway, it was very loud and around twelve o'clock, I got an headache and decided to go to my bedroom to rest for a bit. I slipped between the crowd to the stairs and walked upstairs. There were a few couples kissing while leaning against the wall. I acted like I didn't see them and walked straight away towards my bedroom's door. I thought of Danny. I hadn't seen him for at least half an hour. He might be been with his friends. Damn, I forgot to lock, I thought and opened the door.

As soon as I opened the door I saw two people kissing while sitting on my bed. A boy with blonde hair and a jeans jacket. A girl with long black hair. She was sitting on the boy's lap. The boy was sitting with his back towards me. I could see who the girl was. Valerie. Valerie was sitting on a boys lap while kissing him in my bedroom. Nice. They didn't even see me. I cleared my throat.

-Excuse me? I said. Both looked at me. My mood changed immediately. The girl was Valerie. I already knew that. But the boy... The boy was... Danny?! Valerie smiled.

-What's it? She asked. What's it? Look at yourself, kissing MY boyfriend in MY bedroom. 

-No! What's THIS?! I shouted. Danny?! Unbelievable. Tears were falling down my cheeks. I couldn't believe it. I thought he loved me. I loved him too. What a jerk! I didn't really care that much Valerie was kissing someone in my bedroom. I cared more about Danny kissing someone else AND in MY bedroom on MY birthday party. I turned around to leave, but then thought NO! This is my bedroom, my house. They are leaving. Not me. Go away. I said as calmly as possible and pointed at the door. Go, now! Danny stood up. And looked at me. He walked towards the door and closed it.

-No. He said. And turned around to look at me.

-We are going to tell you something, so you won't go tell everyone we are cheaters. Valerie said.

-But you are! I yelled.

-No we're not. Valerie walked closer to me. She smiled. Do you remember that time you through the slushie all over my new shirt? She laughed. No, that's not the reason why I kissed your... uhm.. boyfriend? She laughed again.

-Before you understand wrong, this was a setup. I never loved you. And I will never love you. I love other kind of girls. He then looked at Valerie and back at me. Jerk! From the beginning this was a setup.

-So. I took a deep breath. So, this all was on purpose? Everything? From the moment you smiled at me in the hallways... until.... until now?

-Uhmm, yeah. The Jerk said. I was still crying and I guess my eyes were as red as tomatoes.

-So that thing with the slushie? That was nothing. I didn't really care actually. You know what made me hate you and what made me do this? Valerie said interrupting my "chat" with the Jerk. The reason is... YOU! You, Alyssa. I hate you because of you. Greetings! That's what she said before taking Danny's hand and leaving my room.

I cried even more and screamt a few times. Then I walked downstairs to the place James was doing his work. I asked him if he could give me a microphone and stop the music.

-Everybody! The party is over. Thank you for coming. Please go home now. I said through the microphone. 

I went to my bedroom and lay on my bed crying. That's how I fell asleep in the end. Crying.
