Perfect From Afar

I wake up with a pounding headache, probably from lack of sleep. I stumble to the bathroom, clumsily trying to find Advil. Realizing I don't have it, I go through my daily morning routine without putting on foundation and avoiding eyeshadow. I look into my wardrobe, laughing at how dull most of the clothes colors are. I take black high waisted jeans out to wear along with a Red Hot Chili Peppers I cut into a crop top. I slide on my black Vans and eat cereal while I wait for Ashton to come. I try to wrap my head around what happened last night but I just can't.

Five minutes later I receive a text from Luke saying they're here. The school is about five minutes away (driving) but I like driving to school with my best mates and band members.

I plop myself in Ashton's cars backseat and I mumble hello. All boys sound like zombies mumbling their hellos but I don't mind, I'm sound zombie-like too. I'm not going to tell the boys about Ethan right now, maybe Calum, I don't know. I look over to see Michael doing his Spanish homework. I laugh. He and I have so much in common including our love for procrastination. French is the only homework I got last night but it's last period so I'll probably copy someone's homework. None of the boys are in my classes since mine are advanced. It sucks but they usually ditch so...

I walk into school sliding my black PINK backpack in my locker and going to homeroom. Since my classes are all advanced I'm with jocks and cheerleaders and nerds. I'm actually friends with cheerleaders believe it or not.

The lunch bell rings and the cheerleaders and I go to our normal table. Skylar Bennett, Charlotte Doyle, Riley West, and Piper Green sit across from me while Adriana Finn, Camille Clark, and Madison Johnson sit on the same bench. They're all impeccably pretty, Madison being queen bee.

"So, there's a party Saturday. Amelia, bring your band people, especially Luke," Madison says.

"Haha okay I'll try. Whose house?" I ask

They all laugh. "You're so clueless it's funny." Madison rolls her eyes. She's not fond of Piper, I'm not either, she's as dumb as a doornail.

Madison stops laughing and says, "Walt's." Walt lives in the same street as me, his parents are both socialites. Since Walt's parents are away so much he is known for his wild parties. He's attractive but he is known for his player reputation. He plays football (not American) and he always has girls by his side.

I copy Madison's homework and we walk to French since we're the only girls in our group who takes it. On our way she asks, "did you hear how annoying Piper is? I should just kick her out and put you in instead. You could be a great flier and my number one best friend." She shimmies on me.

"Thanks but with the band..." I drain. She nods as we go to our table in the back of the class.

*******************************

"If you don't I'll just tell Walt about what you did and you'll never have him again." I hear Madison say to Skylar in the front seat. Skylar can't go to the party at Walt's. I shake my head, Madison is like Alison DiLaurentis of Australia. Skylar looks straight forward at the road as she pulls into my driveway. I thank her before getting out and walking in. Then, I hear the TV. Our cleaning lady isn't here today, it's Thursday, her day off.

I sneakily walk in to see Ethan lounging on the couch disgustingly eating potato chips. He munches and crunches annoyingly.

"GET OUT!" I yell and he obeys but right as he is about the shut the door he smirks, "you're going to have to talk to me sometime." I slam the door before running to my room and watching YouTube.
