Chapter Two

The next morning, I woke up to the sound of the birds chirping at my window. I don't know why the heck other people would think that it would be a great head start to your day when in fact, it was just annoying and fucking irritating. I rolled on to the other side of my bed and put my pillow over my head to try and drown out the chirping of the birds but it was just too loud.

Groaning inwardly, I stood up and stretched my tired muscles and went to take a shower. It was hot outside so I decided to wear a blue tank top and white shorts to match it with. I went downstairs to make breakfast (which just consists of cereals and milk since I don't know how to cook for my life) when I saw my mom already cooking some bacon and eggs.

"Hey mom. Morning" I greeted her while getting a carton of milk from the fridge.

"Morning sweetie. Looks like you're in a good mood today. Are you doing anything special?" She said while smiling genuinely at me. My mom is really cool cause she lets me do my own thing. She gives me the freedom to do it. She trusts me and I swear that I won't ever break it. I'm so lucky to have a mom that's very supportive of my plans and decisions. Even though my mom and dad are already separated, I'm happy that they are civil towards each other.

"Hmm.. Nothing really. I'm just gonna be here all day on the internet. Oh and Monica and Kv will be here" I said, pouring the milk into my glass.

Mom put some eggs and bacon on my plate and sat across from me at the table. "That's great, sweetie. I'm gonna go to the downtown in a while and maybe shop a few things. I have nothing to do here anyways. You guys can just order pizza for lunch later."

"Sounds good to me." Remembering that I haven't texted Kv yet, I quickly finished eating my breakfast and put my dish in the sink. I kissed mom as I passed her and headed up to my bedroom.

I unplugged my phone from its charger and typed a short message to her.

Come here around eight thirty. Girls day ;)

I hit send and not long after received a reply from her.

Can't. Busy with homework.

I rolled my eyes at her reply. Typical Keziah Villegas. Always likes to do her homework in advance, even though it's the weekend. She's like the nerd amongst us, and just like me, she doesn't like to open up to people. The only difference is, I actually want to socialize but, she on the other hand is just plain anti-social. Don't ask me how we became best friends, it just sorta happened.

Don't be a spinster and come on over you cunt. :P I'm not taking no for an answer. It's the weekend! Come on!

I know for a fact that she doesn't like to be called a spinster that's why I'm a hundred percent sure that she's coming over. I can be evil at times, I know.

Since I was home alone and had nothing better to do, I powered up my laptop and decided to check up on the account I made. Clicking on the address bar, I typed in checkz.com and signed in.

I was shocked to see a few friend requests but other than that, nothing interesting was really happening so I opened another tab and went to weheartit.com just to pass the time. I liked using weheartit to the extent of downloading the application on my phone. Browsing through pictures and quotations just seem entertaining for me that I didn't even know Kv had entered my house until she opened the door to my room.

"Aye you're here already. And it's only 8:15. Miss me much?" I teased her, checking my phone for the time.

Sitting at the edge of my bed, she turned to face me. "Don't be assuming. I don't miss you. I just had nothing to do. And you did invite me over so..."

"But I thought you were doing your homework?" I countered her, smirking.

She grabbed the pillow that was resting near my feet and threw it at me. "Shut up! I finished it already anyways."

"Yeah. Whatever." Rolling my eyes once again, I got up and texted Monx that Kv was here already. "So, how's the site thingy going on? All good?" Kez asked, getting comfortable in my bed.

"Hmm.. It's good so far. Haven't done much. I didn't even accept the friend requests I've received yet. Thought that I should let Miss Garcia teach me how it works first. Hey, why don't you sign up for it too?"

"What? Me? No way. Not my thing." Yep. There we go. Sometimes I worry about her. How will she survive this world if she's so anti-social? At least I'm trying to open up. A bit.

"Hey honey! I'm going out already okay?! I left money at the center table for your food and I'll be back maybe around dinner time already! Stay safe and love you!" I heard mom shouting from downstairs. I got up and opened the door to my room.

"Yeah! Okay mom! Thanks and love you too! Stay safe!" I shouted through the hallway and went back inside my room.

Kv and I were arguing about cheese when Monica entered my room, looking confused.

"Uhm hey guys. What the hell is this about cheese? I can hear you guys arguing when I was coming up the stairs." She asked as she placed her bag on the floor beside my desk and sitting down on my bean bag.

"Well, Kv here, doesn't like to put cheese on her spaghetti! Who the fuck doesn't like cheese?!" I replied, completely wondering who on earth doesn't like cheese!

"Me! I do! I don't like putting cheese in my spaghetti because I just don't like it! It tastes weird and gooey and just yuck!" Kv replied with as much persistence as with me.

"Okay! Enough of this cheese bullshit! Romina's right! Who doesn't like cheese? Spinsters! That's who!" Monx and I laughed our butts of while Kv glared at us the whole time.

"You two always do this to me! I hate both of you!"

"Yeah but you can't live without us either." I said, nudging Kv at her side earning myself a smack at the head. "Okay.. Well, miss Garcia, would you like to explain to me this checkz website thing?" I asked Monx, truly eager to learn about the site.

"Well okay! Let's get started. What do you want to know first?" She asked me, grabbing my laptop off my desk and opening it to find my account logged in. "Woah. You have tons of friend requests and you haven't accepted even one? I am soooooo accepting this all for you."

"Hahaha well, thanks. I just wanted to know what the fuck those 'votes' are?" I asked, glancing at the screen to see the people she accepted. Most of them were guys. Ugh.

"Well, those 'votes' are like a poll where people vote whether you're pretty, friendly, sexy or intriguing. And look! You've got like 5 votes on pretty and 3 votes on sexy already. I'd say that's a great start considering you only have you're profile photo up." Monx explained, showing me the screen which clearly said that I've been voted as pretty and sexy. I wonder who would vote for me cause I don't even think I'm THAT pretty nor sexy.

"Hmm.. Can I see the people who voted for me?"

"That's the trick. You can't."
