Annihilation

Chapter 8

Megan

I try to stop the room from spinning as i squeeze into my blue jeans.
Fuck .How much did i drink last night?
The car horn blares from outside my house. Again.
That's it. I am gonna kill my best friend. I am gonna pick him apart like that measly little spider that keeps ruining my clothes and then i am gonna crush him . Punch him in that smug little face of his.
But.... it's a good face
Okay so maybe i'll leave the face . Or maybe i can just pawn him off to Caroline Caruthers. Oh wait, he might actually like that..
I pick up my mascara to apply a quick coat hoping that the long lashes will conceal the dark circles. But just as I uncap the bottle the piece of shit whom i call my friend strikes once again and down goes my new bottle of mascara. I had just bought it.
Breathe Megan . Breathe. It was just a cheap mascara, nothing more.
But it wasn't cheap.
Breathe..
"Come on Megan! We are getting late!"
Oh fuck it
I stomp to the door and slam it shut behind me as i storm towards the devil incarnate
" Finally" Michael says looking towards me with a grin plastered on his face. Oh, he knew. He fucking knew i'd have a hangover and the little fucker was doing this on purpose.
I fling my now broken bottle of mascara  at his smug looking face
And watch in satisfaction as his white t shirt gets sprayed with black lines.
"Go fuck yourself, Asshole. You are buying me a new bottle"
He bursts out laughing . "Well, someone is in a mood today." He leans in and then screams in my ears
"Are you feeling okay?"
My head, fuck.
"You son of a bitch , i am gonna kill you". I say pushing at his chest
He keeps on laughing
"I swear Michael if you don't shut up right now then the next thing to come out of your mouth will be your teeth"
"Now , that's not very nice is it? I drive you to school everyday, the least you can do is say sorry for ruining my shirt"
I smile sweetly at him " I am sorry I missed your face."
He smirks and those treacherous dimples appear .
I sigh. I really don't have the strength for this.
"Drive." I say closing my eyes " We are getting late"
"What are you talking about ? We are an hour early" i can hear the laughter in his voice
"Dead. You're so fucking dead. As soon as i get this headache under control i am gonna crumple you." I mumble.
I open one eye and then wish I hadn't because the first thing i see is abs. Smoking hot abs that flex as Michael stretches to change his t shirt.
The little shit even bought a t shirt with him. It's almost like he had it all planned.
I close my eyes.
God give me strength. This is gonna be a long day.
———————————————
Considering that the place where i lived ,which wasn't much of a home or much of anything actually, was only minutes away from the school we were welcomed by an empty parking lot and dead silence. The second was rather pleasing considering that my head felt like a dilapidated drum after the school parade.
Doesn't mean i am not gonna kill the person who was right now smirking as i cradled my head in my arms.
"You really shouldn't drink this much"
"It's . All. Your. Fault "
"How is it my fault?"
I look up and i swear the stare i was giving him right then could've given medusa a run for her money.
"Yeah, you're right. It's totally not your fault. I mean you didn't drag me to a party full of preppy boys who wouldn't see 'out of your league' sign even if it flashed in front of them in fucking neons and you definitely didn't completely abandon me after that doing god knows what while i drank myself stupid just to avoid the stupidness that was the said party. Oh wait.."
"Okay okay i get it. Sorry. Don't bring the claws out"
This time i smiled . And i knew I probably looked a little unhinged right then .
The claws weren't only out they were so very close to that beautiful face of his..
Speaking of which..
No. Not going there . Not today.
I moved to step out of the jeep expecting Michael to do the same when he didn't i turned around a gave him a questioning look.
"You go ahead i have to pick someone up"
A skeptical eyebrow rose as I stared at him.
He has to pick someone up? Well, that's new.
One day i will actually gather up enough strength to start to fathom what his fucking deal was but right now i really didn't give a fuck.
I pushed open the school gates and made my way to the library. It was the only place in this hellhole that made me feel at peace. And right now i was in desperate need of peace.

As the first bell rung i rushed towards my locker.
Fuck i had completely lost the track of time but that kind of happened whenever i read greek mythology.
Long story short in greek mythology everyone was fucking everyone and since they had no clue what protection was everyone was getting impregnated.
Apparently you can even get pregnant from a shower of gold.
I know . It's fucked up what's even more fucked up is that i like it.
Opening my locker i quickly collected my books for AP Biology. That's when i heard it . The doors opening and slamming shut and in walked a sight that I thought my eyes would never see.
Michael . With his arm thrown over Caroline's shoulders .
And because it was Caroline there wasn't even a molecule of space between them.
And there i was standing utterly immobile in an nearly empty hallway.
That's who he had to pick up?
I closed my eyes and looked upwards
Why god ? Why? Why was all this shit happening today?
There are somethings you need to know.
1)I try to avoid awkward moments like daphne tried to avoid Apollo.
2)I so wish i could turn myself into a tree whenever they happened but no such luck there. Instead i turn into a lunatic clown with a most possibly so-creepy-that-it-will-remind-you-of-a-serial-killer-and-not-even-then-ted-bundy-kind-of-serial-killer smile
