ANNIE LAKEN

It was finally Friday, which meant the weekend, and also the day the competition closed. All I've been doing is watching other people's videos, trying to convince myself if I had a shot at winning it or not.

Everyone has different and unique talents, and I honestly feel so bad for James knowing he has to pick two out of these thousands of people. Even lowering it to hundred people will be difficult. As much as I want to win, I know I might not because I already have a platform, and he might be looking for a fan who doesn't have a YouTube channel. I understand that, but oh my god what I'd do if I would win.

I'd probably scream first, then cry, then be happy for the rest of my life.

Walking out of school, I felt relief, knowing I wouldn't have to see everyone for two days. This week has been kinda hard, especially because a lot of them saw my video for James' competition. Most people have been making fun of it, or just judging me for even entering. I don't understand what kind of pleasure they get for lowering someone's self confidence, and self esteem. It's bullshit, especially since I haven't done nothing to them.

As much as I want to win this competition to meet James, and his friends, I want to win this to rub it in every single person faces at my school. To show them that after everything they put me through, I'm succeeding in life. And that's the best revenge.

As I got to my car, I heard someone call my name. My feet stopped moving as my whole body froze. I recognized that voice any where, in my past, in my dreams, mocking me from a far, that voice, it belonged to Asher.

My heart began to pound ever so loudly as I turned around to face him. I watched as Asher ran towards me, his hair flopping up and down on his forehead.

Why was he trying to talk to me? He hasn't even made the slightest effort to come out of his way and talk to me personally. He's usually standing behind Maya, saying things under his breath.

"Hey, Annie, can we talk?" He said out of breath as he got closer to me. Still, frozen, completely shocked I didn't know what to say. My whole body was shaking so badly from my nerves.

"It'll just be quick, please." He was being nice. His voice, his body language was nice. Why was he? He's made my life a living hell and this is how he's treating me now after making me go through all of it?

My nerves calmed down, but my anger grew higher and higher. Finally, I found my voice in the back of my throat.

"What do you want." I spat, giving him the evil eye. I needed to act tough, I needed to not be scared of him.

He was a little taken a back by my tone of voice, but he completely ignored it and began talking.

"I know things aren't great between us, but I'd just like to tell you how amazing your last video was of you entering into James Charles competition."

Did I just hear him correctly? Did Asher, my ex boyfriend just compliment me out of no where?

Not knowing what to say exactly, I awkwardly said, "Thanks." With that, I was about to start walking away, but he called out for me again.

"Wait, Annie," His voice was pleading, full of shame, but I wasn't buying any of it. "I'm sorry. I am truly-"

I cut him off.

"Truly what? I don't think you really are Asher. You and that bitch have been tormenting me ever since the day you two fucked behind my back," We were standing in the parking lot, people all around us coming out of school to leave. I swear as I said this, everyone gasped. "And you know what is worse? You couldn't even own up to your own mistake so you had to make up this whole entire lie how I'm some psycho bitch.You know what? I'm not the psychopath, you two are for telling everyone in this god damn school that lie. Even if I did smash the shit out of your car, I did it for a reason."
