Emily

"I don't know what to do anymore, why did it have to happen to me?!" I cried out to my best friend, Sharon Jowel.

We were seated on the sofa in her parents' house, burying my sorrows in ice cream.

"It was humiliating with Jeannette smiling smugly at me. Why did he do that to me? I thought we were great together" I moaned,digging into the bowl of half finished ice cream.

"Can I have more ice cream?" I asked Shar with soulful eyes. She hesitated before leaving to get me some.

I swallowed the sob threatening to tear it's way out of my throat.

Edward and I started going out two weeks ago, he was the perfect beau till I caught him in a lie.

I went over his place earlier this morning to surprise him, only to find him having breakfast with his parents...no big deal, right?

Wrong.

He was with his 'girlfriend'.

Jeanette.

Apparently he had been playing me and the only girlfriend his parents knew was Jeannette.

The jerkfaced ass!

Shar came back holding a bucket of chocolate ice cream. God bless her dear heart. I grabbed at it greedily ignoring the fact that it wasn't vanilla and dug in with a ferocity that had Shar staring at me in surprise.

"Em, I think you should ease up on that... you know...calories? Thousands of them?", Shar asked with a nervous laugh.

She approached me slowly like I was some rabid dog. I must have looked like a mess.

"But I need to bury my grief in ice cream." I cringed at how I whiny I sounded.

"It couldn't have been that bad? Or was it?", she asked and stole a scoop of ice cream from me. I didn't realise she had an extra spoon.
I decided to pardon her thievery this time.

" Of course not, it wasn't humiliating to see that picture perfect couple with the super fabulous wealthy parents dining like refined celebrates while I was in a sweatshirts and a drawstring pants looking confused and stupid." I said deadpanned.
"And oh did I forget to say my boyfriend is cheating on me with his other girlfriend?" I added. This time my voice trembled.

I couldn't help the tears trailing down my cheek. I wasn't that into him but it still stung. Everyone was going to find out on Monday. I'm going to be a laughingstock.

"Em, he doesn't deserve you and you know it", Shar said. This made me cry harder.

"I could castrate him you want." Her fierce expression as she declared that made me laugh.

"You deserve way better" she murmured and put her arms around me for a hug.

I buried my face in her neck. When the temptation to bite her neck just for laughs became too strong, I let go.

I curled up beside her and closed my eyes.

The sound of heavy metal music interrupted my peace.

"Turn it down Bobby. You'll wake her up" Shar whispered loudly.

"So?" Robert aka Bobby said. I think he increased the volume.
" I told you not to call me that when people are around

"Call you what? Bobby?
Besides Em isn't people."she said with a sharp tone.

"She is to me and why can't she just stay in her house?"

"Stop being an ass",she begged.

"She could go to her boyfriend's place.", he taunted.

Robert was Shar's older brother by three years, he was a senior while Shar and I were freshmen.

Robert and his close friend Marc were popular at school. It didn't make sense because they were not even in any school team. It was probably because of their looks.

For some reason Robert dedicated his life to ignoring me and making me feel unwelcomed. But Marc always had a friendly smile for me though he never actually spoke to me directly.

He seemed nice.

It took a while but I got used to Robert's strange attitude over the years. I was getting good at pretending he didn't exist.

Instead of decreasing the volume, he increased it. It got on my nerves.

I opened my eyes and sat up. Shar looked pissed and he had a little smirk on his smug face.

It was a beautiful face but it was smug.

Nobody liked smug.

I snapped and grabbed the remote from him, switched off the TV and removed the batteries and placed everything on the table.

I walked out and went home as gracefully as I could with the lump of sadness in my throat.

Thankfully home was three houses away.

Mum was not home yet. She must have passed the grocery store

She worked in a jewellery shop which was opened 24\7.Maybe people needed emergency jewels sometimes.

I went straight upstairs to my room, jumped in bed and cried afresh into my pillow.

After a short while I felt someone sit beside me."

I'm a lil embarrassed by the diction from the original book. I tried really hard not to change certain things... But i couldn't help it.
Can anybody guess who came after her?
It's quite obvious...
