Summer Camp

Big Mistakes

  Lihla's POV

  I checked my appearance in the mirror in front of me. My dress was bright red and hugged my body in all the right places making me look amazing. My curled blonde hair came halfway down my back.  As my door was being opened my heart skipped a beat. I was suppose to be going to bed since I was grounded for the next month but as soon as I opened my mouth to say a lame excuse I noticed it was just my 13 year old brother. "What the fuck, going around scaring the living shit out of me. I thought you were mom or dad." He laughed as he leaned on the wall beside of him.

      I rolled my eyes as I noticed that I would have to bribe him to get him out if my hair. "100 bucks to keep quiet" I say. He turned around and started calling for mom. I came behind him and covered his mouth with my hand . "Fine, fine. 200" He shook his head. I lifted my eyebrows. "250?" He didn't do anything so I slowly pulled my hand away. I got my purse and pulled out the money. We were filthy rich and could spare a couple hundred dollars. I handed it to him and he took it quickly than left the room.

      I gathered my things and quietly creeped down the stairs to our gigantic house. I opened the back door and ran across the yard barefoot. Dereck, my boyfriend, was waiting for me in his car. I opened the door and jumped in. "Ready?" He asked. I laughed "Hell yeah, let's go" I slipped on my red high heels and turned up the radio.

      When we pulled up to the party we could hear the music from the place we parked the car. People were around the pool, some sitting or standing with a drink in hand talking to their friends, others were laughing and splashing around in the water. Inside sweaty bodys were dancing up against each other. As I felt the music in my veins practically, I thought to myself how this was my version of paradise. A guy a little older than me handed me a bottle and I gladly took it.

    Another guy took my hand and led me to where there was room to dance. As soon as I started to sway my hips I noticed that Dereck had disappeared. I looked around the room to see if I could spot him but he wasn't there. I moved toward the back of the house, scared of what I would find. In the corner of the room I saw him. I saw Dereck sucking a brown haired girls face off. I stood there for a few seconds trying to process what I was seeing. I almost all the way knew it was what I would find but seeing it was totally different.

     When he noticed me standing there his eyes widened and he pulled the girl off of him. Anger bubbled up inside me as he stood up and took a step toward me. I pulled the closest guy to me by the collar of his shirt and made our lips connect. As I started to smog the guy I had heard Dereck say my name. I didn't stop as tears formed in my eyes. The kiss was done almost as fast as it started. I looked at Dereck and his shocked hurt face and stuffed guilt down in me. I put on the best smirk I could come up with and walked away.

     As soon as I knew the close was clear I let the tears fall. I wasn't sure how I would get home but I would find a way. I stepped outside and felt a breeze. I regreted not taking a jacket now. For a second the stupid idea for me to walk came up but was soon dismissed. I couldn't walk in heels or barefoot all the way home. Hell, did I even know which way to go to get home? I wasn't paying attention and stepped out in front of a car. They honked their horn and I gave them the finger. They just honked again. I rolled my eyes and looked at them. I hit the hood. "Listen here Bitch," as soon as I started I stopped. The driver seat door opened and my mom stepped out, my mouth popped open.

     I quickly shut my mouth and got in the passenger seat. I knew my life would be a living hell and I would be grounded for life. "Now, tell me how you got here, how'd you get past the alarm?" I stayed silent for a second before answering. "I hacked the system" My mom let out a long sigh. "Of course you did, how didn't I know?"

     The rest of the car ride was filled with mom getting on to me and me planning my revenge on my brother.  As soon as the car stopped I ran out and into the house. I ran up the stairs to where my brothers room was. I started hitting him as soon as I saw him laying in his bed. "You little piece of shit, why did you tell." I kept hitting him until my dad ran into my room and peeled me off. I was breathing hard and crying. I didn't have to look in a mirror to know I looked horrible.

       I was sent directly to my room and to stay there. When I got inside I buried my head in my pillow and screamed. The tears kept coming and I didn't think they would stop. I wasn't sure that I wanted them to either. They let out all of my emotions. Soon I drifted off to sleep with one thought on my mind, my life was ruined.
