-Annie's POV-
"Have fun ladies." My mom calls as Katie follows me up the stairs.
"What's up? I guess your mom isn't mad anymore." Katie asks as I close the bedroom door behind us.
"I guess so too. It's whatever. She was the one in the wrong anyway. All I did was say the word 'shit'."
"Yeah. I'm sure she feels really bad. About yelling at you and about the picture."
"Whatever. Let's do something else. Netflix?"
"Okay, but I don't think I can stomach black mirror again."
"Every episode is different. There's no more pig sex. It's fine, though. I finished it." I reassure her.
"There's a new show I was meaning to watch," She begins to suggest. I open Netflix and there is an ad for a show called Trinkets.
"Oh, that's it"
I read the description and shrug before clicking play.
....
"I should do that, steal. Maybe it'll make me feel better about stuff." I say.
"Um, I think not." She says before tossing more popcorn into her mouth.
"Who knows, it could genuinely make me happier, and maybe my mom wouldn't even care."
"Annie, if you start stealing I will tell somebody. I love you, but don't go that low."
"Relax, I'm not gonna steal anything." I roll my eyes.
"If you want to be happy, you could just make some more friends. Have you talked to the anonymous chatter?"
"A little" I say nonchalantly.
"Did you find out her name? Did you find out if she's a she?"
"Yeah, some chick named Jayden?" I tease, pretending I don't know who she is.
"Seriously? No way! What do you talk about?"
"Nothing. She just says hi and then she tells me about all her little instagram-perfect friends and how great they are and what they're doing together after school every day." I'm still doing that 'respecting privacy' thing.
"Okay, you have another friend, so now all you need is a girlfriend." She beams.
"I have no idea how that would ever happen." I know it won't. I don't have the energy.
"I'm sure someone will like you soon enough. You're gorgeous, you just keep to yourself so much."
"Too bad I'm not straight, you know, since Hayden and all his manwhore friends want to rape me."
She sighs at my honesty.
....
"I'm falling asleep." My best friend mumbles next to me.
"Can't relate, but go ahead." I say. She immediately closes her eyes and her breathing slows as she drifts off to sleep. I kind of do wish I had a girlfriend. Someone who loves and understands me and maybe even makes me feel better* God, I'm going soft. She wouldn't be laughing with me anyway. I don't laugh. You know, because I don't have emotions besides sadness and anger.
Jayden- wyd
Me- nothing. My friend just fell asleep so I'm all alone.
Jayden- Katie? She seems cool.
Me- if she knew that you just said her name she would probably have a seizure
Jayden- lol?
Me- she really wants to be friends with you and your squad. I know she could if she wasn't around me. I hold her back
Jayden- if you talked more you would be popular too!
Me- you sound just like her
Jayden- I'm bored. Wanna FaceTime?
Me- me giving my phone number to a popular girl? Sounds like millions of prank calls to come
Jayden- that sounds mean I wouldn't do that. I'll drop mine first
Me- go ahead
Jayden- 805-123-4567 :)
I copy the number and paste it onto a new contact.
Me- I'm not FaceTiming you I'm just tired of going into safari to talk
Jayden- 😪at least we can use emojis now lol
Me- sorry about no FaceTime I guess but I still don't exactly understand your intentions and Katie's asleep literally right next to me and she's not a particularly heavy sleeper
Jayden- it's okay. You can still text right lol
Me- I guess
Jayden- soooo what do you like to do
A/N
