The Girl With Many Names

▪︎ Chapter Twenty-Two ▪︎

As I played the video, my mouth literally dropped to the ground.

I watched as I embarrassed myself on the dance floor thinking I was dancing. I looked like a squid! I cannot believe he shot this video of me and he still had it. I decided to text him back.

Me: What the heck, Blake! Delete that video now 😩😩😩

Me: Pleaseeee 😭😭😭

Me: How could you do this to me?

Me: You're the worst!

Me: I hate you.

Me: I am so going to get you for this.

The worst part about everything is that he wasn't even replying, but I bet my favourite sneakers that he was reading it and he was laughing. I angrily put off my phone and went to bed, thinking of ways to get away with murder.

I got to school the next day with only one thing in mind, skin Blake alive. Yes, I was that aggressive especially when it had to do with me embarrassing myself.

"Please can I watch it?" Clover asked. We were sat in our Calculus class and I had just finished telling her about the video and how I was going to kill Blake when I set eyes on him but here she was asking to watch that embarrassing video. The teacher barely noticed us or maybe he just didn't care.

"No, Clover, you cannot see that video. I just can't believe you!" I exclaimed, turning to face the teacher.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I really just want to see a drunk Dani" she said, laughing.

"Well you're not going to" I retorted, turning back to her "Now, the goal is to get Blake to delete the video from his phone"

"Yeah fine, but if you could just let me see the video once, please" she started again, pleading this time.

"No, Clover" I said and gave up on her. I was going to have to do this myself.

The only time I could see him was third period because it was free for both of us, so I looked forward to that.

The second period passed by and soon we were in our free period. Clover, Thomas and I stood at mine and Clover's locker. They were talking, and Clover seemed to be excited about something. I wondered what they were talking about. I decided to call Blake to know where he was or where he was going to be and he picked up on the second ring.

"If it isn't my favourite dancer" he said into the phone, amusement evident in his voice.

"Blake how could you do this to me?" I started, glaring daggers into the wall in front of me.

"What did I do?" He feigned innocence "You were the one doing all the dancing and as a good friend, I decided to record that rare moment"

"A rare moment where I absolutely embarrass myself in front of people? Way to go bestie" I replied, rolling my eyes.

"Relax, the people there barely knew what was going on around them, they were wasted" he said, finding amusement at my expense. I was so going to kill him.

"Is that supposed to make me feel better?" I asked "Wasted or not, people saw and now I find out that there's a video! Why didn't you stop me?"

"You have no idea how stubborn you can be when you're drunk Dani" he scoffed "And trust me, I tried".

"Ugh! Where are you?" I asked.

"Why?" He teased.

"So I can come delete that video from your phone, or better still throw the whole phone down the toilet just to be on the safe side" I replied, not even hiding my intentions.
