<Sorry for the lack of screen shots. This was all in my head.>
Anna woke the next morning. She winced as she opened her eyes. The sun had been beaming brightly from her bare window and illuminating her face. Two small blue birds sat on her window sill chirping loudly. Anna glared at the birds in discontent as she brought her hands up to her face and massaged her temples. There was a throbbing pain in her head that she tried to soothe. It felt as though her head was being clasped tightly, similar to a nutcracker smashing a walnut. It took her a few moments to notice the stench of vomit that had been invading her room from her half-opened bathroom door.
She could only recall snippets of what had happened the night before. The last thing she remembered was getting up to go get some fresh air by the window, and Pablo trying to forcibly kiss her. She shuddered at the thought of Pablo running his hands down her shoulders. She has never been touched in such a way, and she didn’t particularly enjoy it. She tried intensely to remember what happened afterwards, but only accomplished to induce the pain in her throbbing head.
How did i get home? She began to wonder, finally looking around and recognizing her sea foam colored walls, and the pink flowered sheets on her bed She felt a sudden wave of nausea come over her, and she dashed into her bathroom that was only a few feet away. The foul stench of vomit had been emerging from the toilet. It was strong and it made her want to vomit even more. The bitter taste of vomit filled her mouth, and she held on to the sides of the toilet. Her head pulsated with every heave she took.
Anna felt a small hand rub her back, and hold her hair up as she continue to vomit into the toilet.
“Anna what the heck did you get yourself into last night?” Angelina asked, her face had been knotted into a frown. “I found you passed out on the lawn. You were going on about some, Myles guy, and how he had to find your ID to find our address because you had passed out in the backseat of the cab.”Angelina said with a look of disappointment on her face.
Anna felt yet another wave of nausea rippling through her body. This was not what she had expected drinking to feel like. “Myles?” She thought, lost in her confusion.
“Oh, Myles” She said. She could remember Myles now, he had helped her into the cab,and he had also helped her with Pablo. She also remembered passing out shortly after.
“You know, I’m actually upset, Anna.” Angelina said with a sigh. She opened the faucet, and let the cold water wet her hands. She continued to pass her hands over Anna’s reddened face.
“I stayed up all night sitting beside you while you puked your brains out. You are supposed to be the good one… If anyone should’ve been passed out in the front lawn, it should’ve been me!”
She yelled and paused as if to think, but then shook her head and continued “It stings a little to see you like this.. It reminds me a lot of Hal, and I don’t want either of us to follow in his footsteps. What if something bad was to happen to you? Krystal isn’t the one who is going to be at your funeral. It’s all fun, and games until something bad happens. No one ever thinks that something bad would happen to them, and then it’s too late. You are smarter than this!” Angelina got up, and stormed off without a word or passing glace.
Anna felt disappointed in herself, but she felt worse for Angelina.
“I’m the good one..”She thought, and sighed.
Why am i always the good one? Why do i always have to be the geek? Why am i always the one that’s too “nerdy” to be seen with? I have to pretend to know less than i do in class because everyone will say that i’m showing off. They’d think i’m trying to be a know it all. I’m sick of it! Anna thought to herself.
