Stronger Than You Think

Chapter 8: The Morning After

I wake and stretch my back. It cracks loud but the others don't even stir. I look at the table and see that there is still a whole lot if lollies and drink left.

I lie back down and stare at the ceiling. The others start to stir and sit up. I sit up too. "Morning" Andrea says and yawns. "Morning" the others say.

I run my hands through my short choppy hair. BRRUPP!! I fart and smile "Morning" I say and the others shove their pillows in their faces. "IRIS. THAT IS JUST GROSS!" Cara says and pushes herself into the back corner rocking back and forth.

"Oh get over yourself" I say and sniff the air "It doesn't even-". Suddenly a rotten smell fills the air the other girls push the pillows closer to their faces.

Cara jumps up. "EVACUATE, EVACUATE" and runs as fast as her tiny legs can carry her towards the door. As I was closest to the door I grab her waist and shove my pillow into her face to stop the scent.

"If are going to do that every time my farts stink. Next time I'll cupcake you" I said to Cara after the smell dies down. Cara whimpers and everyone laughs.

We finish the rest of the lollies for breakfast and then all left the treehouse to have showers. When we arrive downstairs I see that Andrea's super hot 17 year old brother and her 9 year old brother are playing video games.

"Hey Eric" I say and ruffle up the younger ones hair with my fist. "IRIS! You messed up my hair! It took me forever and now look at it!".

"Hahaha! Nice one Iris!" Andrea's older brother, Eden, says and fist bumps me. A wave of electricity flows through me as he stares at me intently with his dark hazel eyes.

But, he'll never like me. Never. Not in a million years. I walk back to the girls and Olive walks into the bathroom. I spot Andrea talking to Eden. "Stop flirting with her!" She yells.

Eden looks at me and smirks. Never gonna happen I think. He's just playing you. Olive walks out of the bathroom and I walk in quickly before I scream.

God he doesn't like you get over yourself. You're never gonna get a boyfriend okay. Guys tease and try and get your hopes up and then kick you to the curb because you are what you are. Okay? Okay.

I strip down into my singlet and underwear. I look at my self in the mirror. Thighs are too fat. Waist isn't curved enough. And even though I am 15 my chest is only a 12 A or something. More things that are wrong with me.

I think of the quote from The Fault In Our Stars. Don't you wish you could die? Don't you ever wish you could just die? All the time. Every day I wish I was dead. My parents make it obvious that I was a mistake.

I turn on the shower. I don't even bother taking off my singlet or underwear. I sit down and let the freezing cold water wash over my body. Just the way I like it.

About 5 minutes later I get up and turn off the shower. I climb out and strip off my damp clothes and then put them into a plastic bag that I pulled out of the cupboard.

I grab a towel and dry my self off. As soon as I'm about to put on a fresh pair of underwear I feel a dripping between my legs. God. I thought I dried my self off well enough. I grab a towel and when I look down I see red. Red and only red.

"ANDREA!" I scream "Andrea hurry up I need you" I yell again.
She bursts through the door looks down and slams it behind me. All I can think is SHIT! Why here an why now? Andrea grabs something out of the cupboard and sticks it in my underwear.

"It's okay sweetie" Andrea says and pays my back. "Now lets get this mess cleaned up". She mops up the red and tells me to step back into the shower. I do as I am told and clean myself up.

I dry off and Andrea leaves after telling me what to do. I follow her instructions and soon I'm ready to go back out. FUCK! I think Why today of all days?
