Reacquaint

Chapter 3

          I wake up to the smell of pancakes and I slowly open my eyes, groaning. I look around me and notice I'm still in my date outfit from last night with ice cream stains all over me and crusty eyes from crying so much last night. I slowly comb out my hair with my fingers while sitting up. I stifle a big yawn and get up to go see what's about to be in my stomach.

"Good morning sunshine!" I hear Lizzie's chipper voice say.

"Good morning, what time is it?" I groggily ask.

"It is almost noon and it's pancake time!" She says excitedly while placing a stack of pancakes in front of me. 

"Oh thank goodness, I'm starving." I exclaim while grabbing a fork and digging in. 

"I thought you would be." She teases. "So how are you feeling?" She turns serious.

"I've been better...my heart is hurt and confused. The only good thing is that I know what an asshole Zach is now." I say around a mouth full of food.

"Amen." She agrees while eating her own pancakes.

          I find my phone and turn it on to see I have dozens of missed calls and texts from Zach. I sigh while I go through them and see that most of them are just him apologizing or making excuses for cheating. I decide to wait to answer, he deserves it after what he did, and I'll be sure to get my revenge. 

          I don't have work today since my boss doesn't want to overload his new employees with clients, so I decide today will be a self-care day. God knows I need one. 

"So girl, tell me, what are your plans today?" Lizzie asks.

"I'm going to relax. I need to look my best when I finally confront Zach." I say, getting angry just thinking about seeing Zach. 

"And what are your plans for confronting him..?" She questions.

"I'm honestly not sure...but I will be needing revenge. He wasted three years of my life." I point out. 

"I have an idea." She winks at me.

I sit up straight and look at her. "Tell me." I demand. 

"What do you say we take out some of your anger on his car...?" She suggests nonchalantly. 

I pause to think about it. Could I get in trouble? Yes. Could he get pissed and call the cops on me? Yes. Do I care? Kinda. Would I benefit emotionally though? Definitely. 

"I'm in." I say finally.

She squeals and pulls me up out of my chair. "We have to dress sexy. This needs to be a big, bad ass girl movement. Look like a bad bitch, feel like a bad bitch." 

"I don't have any clothes with me though." I remind her.

"Oh leave that all to me..." She says while rushing to her room. 

          I sit back and sigh as I wait for her to get me some clothes. I pick my phone back up and go to my social media to update my status to single and then delete all of our photos just like I did with Dominick. Dominick. I start thinking back to how he hugged me last night and how I felt in his arms...no. I just got cheated on. I don't need to worry about more than one boy at a time right now. I need to move on from Zach, and the only way to do that for me is to get rid of the physical memories right now. 

          I hear footsteps coming so I put my phone down and look up. I see Lizzie with what seems to be 30 outfits in her hands. 

"Time to model for me!" She says while pushing all the clothes in my hands. "The bathroom is just down the hall to the left and my room is right across, so when you're done with each outfit come out to show me." She explains. I nod to show her I understand and head to the bathroom.
