*book 1* The Nightmare They Call Life

Chapter 23

Crystal's POV:

I hate having to fake liking Skylar. This is the only way I can do it. I have to pretend I'm pregnant. I have to pretend that Bryan and I are broken up. I have to lie to my mother. Just so that I can make my mom happy. My mom wants me to be friends with Skylar. So I put up this act. I cut myself and started to fake cry. Sooner or later she came in and asked me what's wrong. I had to act like I was actually sad. I hate having to be her 'friend'. I told her what was wrong even though it's not true. She really seems like she wants to be friends with me. I don't know why since I bully her but whatever. It felt weird when she hugged me. I wanted to bitch-slap her right then and there for even touching me. Ugh! I hate lesbians.

After I did my acting we went to class. I didn't have any classes with her which is great for me. I only have lunch with her and that's where she wanted me to sit with her, Ryan, like, and Maia. I had to sit there and watch everyone have a great time while I didn't want to be there. In the middle of lunch Bryan texted me and asked me why I was sitting with Skylar and her friends. I told him the whole thing and he went along with it. He acts like he hates me during school now but after school we hang out all the time.

I went home and told my mom I was pregnant she didn't believe me and I told her I was just kidding. She told me that, that was not funny and I should think twice before telling her something like that. After that whole lecture I went into my room and played my music. "You belong with me" by Taylor Swift played and I went full on diva mode and blared it in my room and started singing and dancing around like a fool. I started going through my dresses and picked out my outfit for school tomorrow.

I'm wearing a black sparkly dress with my hair straightened and some converse. I know converse with a dress doesn't look good but on me it does. I went and texted Bryan what I was wearing for tomorrow and he told me that I bet I would look sexy. I know I would look sexy anyway so that's not a problem. I went and took a shower and came back out and I had 12 new text messages from Bryan. Man this kid knew how to blow up someone's phone all right. I just ignored him because I knew he would be a jack ass sooner or later. Then I had that one message. That one message I wish I hadn't got. It was from Skylar. Ugh! I loathe her. For real she really does need to die though. She has no purpose being on this earth. The message said:

"Hey are you doing alright?"

Of course I'm doing alright I'm fantastic, but I can't let her know that.

"I'm ok. Just tired. See you at school tomorrow." I said. Just wanting to end the conversation.

She said goodnight and so did I. After a while I just played on my phone. After a while I got bored so I just started thinking. Thinking about how my life is seriously upside down with out my dad. Thinking of how I'm so mean to people. I don't like to be mean but who am I going to take my anger out on? I can't take it out on myself. I would be labeled as emo. I'm not. Sometimes I hate my life.
