Chapter 22: Two Crazy Days

Sunday, November 12

I'm so tired... My body's having a body ache and my head hurts so badly! My voice sounds like a strangled frog from all the yelling... The last two days were... Interesting. Friday was intense, because I have to talk to Emily about the real me and much more. Saturday, I went out with the gang and everything in our schedule turned to crap!

"What happened?," I think I heard you saying? (Maybe? No? Whatever, I'm still telling!)

Well, I finished all my works and stopped procrastinating, I will just go ahead and tell everything already!

-Friday-

I didn't feel like going to school. I thought that my life is now flipped upside-down and Emily won't forgive me this time and will just leave me... Probably Christopher too, since she's his girlfriend and supports her all the time. I know I will still have Russell with me, but the loneliness will grow stronger without Chris and Emily around like the last time I had a fight with them...

*Door knocks*

Mom: "Wake up, honey! You don't want to be late for school!"

Heather: "Can I just stay home this once?"

Mom: "What's wrong? You're feeling sick?"

Heather: "That's not it..."

Mom: "You can't skip school, it's not good!"

Heather: "My friend hates me and I'm scared she doesn't want to see my face again!"

My mom opened my door room and walked in to sit on the side of my bed.

Mom: "Don't be ridiculous! How can someone hate my precious baby girl?"

Heather: "Mommm! Stoopppp!" *whines*

Mom: "If you're talking about Emily, I don't think she'll hate you, whatever the problem is! You guys are really close! One problem couldn't just shatter your friendship that easily!"

Heather: "You're right... I'm sorry..."

Mom: "Don't be!"

She gave me a kiss on my cheek and hugged me tightly. She looked at the clock on my nightstand and got up from my bed.

Mom: "Sorry, sweetie, but I'm running late for an audition I have for a new movie! Your breakfast is on the table and if you're running late, ask Emilia to drive you, alright?"

Heather: "Yeah, yeah. Just go before you're even more late!"

Mom: "Alright, bye!"

*Front entrance shuts*

I lied. It didn't change my mind that easily. I'm not gullible! I swear, I'm staying in bed, until I have a real and unbeatable reason to go to school!

*Knocks on my bedroom door*

Emilia: "Are you okay, Heather?"

Heather: "Not really..."

Emilia: "Can I come in?"

Heather: "Sure, come in."

She opened my bedroom and basically did what my mom did when she came in.

Emilia: "Get up, before you're late!"

Heather: "How about I want to be absent?"

Emilia: "Your friends are going to miss you!"

Heather: "Nah. Well, Russell will probably be since he's my lover, but Emily and Chris will maybe won't care!"

Emilia: "First of all, since when you and Russell are together?! Also, why would Christopher and Emily won't be worried?"
