When I woke up the next morning my head was pounding.

I vaguely remember Luke carrying me inside my house and dropping me on my bed but other than that the night is a slight blur.

"Morning sleepyhead." Comes the lovely voice of my best friend.

"I feel like hell." I say groaning and rolling over to face her.

She was laying on her back and looking at something on her phone. "Well you're going to feel worse after seeing this." She says before passing me her phone.

And there it was.

A video of me dirty dancing and singing on Luke's car. Although I wouldn't have been too worried if I didn't happen to notice that it said 8.4k views and 2,436 comments. Which mostly consisted of people saying 'Alec's a lucky guy if he's tapping that '.

"Oh my god." I say before handing her back the phone and placing my face into my pillow. "I'm never going to be able to show my face outside again." I say feeling the embarrassment set in.

"Okay it might be bad but at least you look cute." She says in an attempt to make me feel better but I just groan some more into my pillow.

"I have to go into survival mode."

"It can't be that bad." Dina says grabbing the pillow off of my face.

"Oh but it is. I'm going to take a shower. Are you staying?" I ask while getting off my bed.

"Nah," She says getting up "I'm going to head home. See you Monday?"

"Yes. Need me to drive you?" I ask while she's grabbing her shoes.

"I'll walk. I love you and don't freak out. It's not that bad." She says before giving me a kiss on the cheek. I give her a nod and a smile but as soon as I heard her leave through the front door I proceeded to go into survival mode.

Survival mode was basically me in my black oversized hoodie that reached up to my mid-thigh and eating all the foods that my personal trainer aka mom would kill me for eating while binging watching gossip girl.

This was my defense mechanism.

Everyone knew if I was watching gossip girl I was in a bad place, it was just my thing. At times I even added in a little 'xoxo, kill me now ' if I was having a really bad day. That served as a code word for Dina and I that things sucked.

I took a nice hot bath then proceeded to dodge everyone's calls the whole weekend and by everyone I mean Dina's, Luke's and even Alec's.

I wasn't sure how he got my number but I was sure it had something to do with Dina.

I was starting to remember the details of last night and the last thing I wanted to do was talk to Alec.

I knew things would suck once the weekend was over so I did the most reasonable thing I could think of, I faked illness which worked on Monday but not for Tuesday.

My mom said and I quote "if you didn't stuff your face with those cinnamon buns you wouldn't have been feeling sick, now get up and get dressed" so that led me to where I am right now.

Pulling into the school parking lot.

Once I parked I thought of all the possibilities that could happen as soon as I left the comfort of my vehicle.

However, nothing I thought of prepared me for this.

As I walked into school it felt as it was a normal day and not the whispering behind my back normal day. I mean a normal day where no one is even focused on me.
