MARLOE LOISE STEVEN

I cannot sleep!

Tossing and turning all night is making my body ache to no end! I take a peek with one eye shut at my alarm clock.

My eyes widen when I saw the red numbers blinking like they're mocking me. it's already 2:15 am. I let out a frustrated groan tossing again.

Why can't my brain just shut down?! stupid boy! This is all his fault! How could he do this to Regina? She's going to be so heartbroken! Poor Regina. They've been dating for two months now, and they've been so good together! But now that RAT is going to ruin it!

Why are you so affected?

I roll my eyes at my inner princess. Of course, I'm affected. Regina is my friend and Clace is my best friend. Get the equation?

Well, you see...

It affects me because its gonna be so awkward between them, and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be in the stuck middle of it. Just like the previous times. Well, the last couple of times were different because all those bimbos are not my friends. In this case, they will probably stop talking and if I talk to Clace, Regs will hate me, and if I take Regina's side, Clace is gonna be hurting. And I can't stand it even more!

Wait !...

That serves him right! Okay, so I should take her side, hoes before bros!! Yeah! That's it!

But... I hate to see Clace upset. He will be needing me when he breaks up with her, ugh! He doesn't need me! He is the villain here! Why did he have to date one of my best friends?!

"Why does he have to be such a player?!" I think out loud suppressing another groan.

Damn it!

I need to sleep, I need to stop thinking about that boy! Suddenly an idea struck me making me smile.

since I have a few more days till school starts again, I will convince Clace not to break up with her! Ahah! That's it! That's a brilliant idea, now if he says yes, everybody will be happy again. No more awkwardness.

With that thought, I start to doze off.

~*~

"Are you serious?!" He says scoffing in incredulity the minute I plead with him not to break up with Regina.

I couldn't sleep. No matter what I did I just couldn't sleep. So since the boy in front of me is the reason for it I decided to climb on his window in the middle of the night and wake him up. It, not a shocker really, because I do it all the time beside, we also made a wooden ladder that is permanently attached to the wall connecting his window. Quite convenient really. Mostly for his part, judging by the look on his face he didn't anticipate it.

"Like a heart attack!" I state indignantly.

You see it took me thirty minutes to wake him up, and it was not easy. I had to be cruel by splashing a cold bucket of water in his face. Trust me it was my last resort. Although the look on his face was priceless it was all worth it. So now back to the problem.

"I don't like her anymore M, try to look at it from my point of view, put yourself in my shoes, do you want to keep on dating someone you no longer like?" He asks completely miserable, his completely drenched head and soaked clothes added to his misery and makes him look even more helpless.

You see he rarely calls me M, and when he does its one of those days like when he accidentally fed Monty - my fish - the fertilizer that cost him his life. It was the name he used to add to his puppy dog eyes. And trust me it is so hard not to give in. Looking at him right now it's hard to maintain your cold facade, my heart is starting to warm, is it really a bad idea to stay with your girlfriend even when you don't like her anymore? Okay, I'll consider his predicament; I'll try to put myself in his shoes...
