Miss Hot Topic and Mr. Abercrombie Together?! Chapter 15

Bzz. Bzz.

My phone vibrated on my bedside table, letting me know that I got a new text message…again. If this one was from Austin I don’t know what I would do to my poor phone. I have gotten at least thirty texts from him over the night and I really needed some sleep. When I picked up my crappy Samsung flip phone from the table, the screen had a picture of a mail that said ‘1 new text message from Ellie’. I decided to be nice and actually read the message before I delete it. The blue screen casted a faint glow in my otherwise dark room. When my eyes adjusted to the brightness of it, I could finally make out what the text said.

From: Ellie
To: Selena
How are you feeling, hun? you better reply to this text or im coming over(:
--
I quickly texted back to let her know I was fine. Like all other teenage girls, my fingers blurred with speed by my awesome texting skills. I was like a freaking ninja when it came to texting.

From: Selena
To: Ellie
I'm fine, really. don't worry bout it. but I'm starting to crave gummy bears :p

As if on cue, my stomach growled loudly as I pressed the ‘send’ button. I covered my stomach with my free hand, trying to quiet it down. I wouldn’t have been surprised if my parents woke up because of it. Yeah, it was /that/ loud. Well now, how could a girl sleep with an empty stomach? I heaved myself off of my comfy bed, then stuffed my feet into my cute penguin slippers. I tried to creep downstairs to the kitchen quietly but my clumsiness or the squeaky floor boards didn’t really help…I tiptoed down the stairs and walked straight to the kitchen with my phone in my left hand. I was like a spy or a thief on a mission and I couldn't help but to hum that weird spy music. Pathetic, I know, but at least I was back to myself. At least I wasn’t in some kind of a ‘great depression’ or anything.

When I opened the small pantry, I crouched down so I could take out the pack of gummy that I had hidden secretly. God, I felt like a total obese man now instead of a secret agent spy. As I tore the pack open, my phone made a loud noise as it vibrated on the hard floor.

From: Ellie
To: Selena

Well I have something that will definitely cheer u up! but u’ll just have to wait til tomorrow[: I'm too tired to text anymore so GOOD NIGHT BUDDY.

I didn’t bother texting her back since I was too busy enjoying my gummy bears, but I /was/ curious about her good news. But then I remembered the whole break up…My thoughts pondered on from all the possibilities while I chewed slowly, savoring the yummy goodness of gummy bears. What could it possibly be?!

"You still have to go to school, sweetie. Besides, that was the lamest excuse I’ve heard from you so far!" My mom rolled her eyes as she flipped the pancakes. Collin mumbled some unidentifiable words while I groaned again and again.

"But-"I started to argue back but she cut me off with /the/ look.

"Now listen to me, Selena. You’re not the only one going through these kinds of things. Almost every girl does! It was just a break-up. I know you can face, that douche bag, Austin. You’re the toughest cookie I know! And you’re just going to have to go to school and stop acting like a baby! I’ve let you stay in your room throughout the whole weekend, didn’t I?" she had the spatula pointed right at me and I knew I had no way around this. God, save me.

"Wow, mom, that’s the first time I’ve heard you curse." That’s all I said to her before I left the house. Besides, that was all I could manage since my head was just filled with all the bad things I would have to face today.

I knew word had traveled fast about me and Austin’s break up throughout the school and I knew I would be the center of the attention for now. When I entered the school building, I proved myself correct. Where ever I went, people stopped to whisper about me or give me sympathetic looks. But no one stopped to talk to me except Elle and Jacob. I guess I was an outcast, once again. I was so relieved when I saw Elle waiting for me next to my locker. She was surrounded by people congratulating her about winning the crown last week. For a second, I could feel jealousy just gnawing at my guts. Why couldn’t /I/ be like Elle?

"So what’s the ‘good news’?" I asked half-heartedly, spinning the dial of my lock.

"Okay, I know you’re still depressed about Austin and crap but I bet there's this new guy in town and I bet on my WHOLE closet AND make up that he could cheer you up!" she squealed excitedly and jumped up and down with a huge grin on her face.

"That’s it? And wow, your WHOLE CLOSET AND MAKE-UP?!" My fake enthusiasm was quite pathetic and I didn’t want to be rude or anything but I was super disappointed. I was hoping for better news…like somehow everything about the whole ‘revenge plan’ and ‘kissing Elle’ was a huge practical joke.

"Aw c’mon, turn that frown upside down! This guy was like /made/ for you! Plus, he has like the same exact schedule as you and his locker’s only four away from yours!" she squeezed my shoulder for emphasis. Suddenly she gasped and grinned evilly at me.

"He’s coming now…" she whispered at me and gave me a wink before retreating back to the crowd.

---E l l e ‘ s P O V---
Hm, I guess I had a heart after all.

That /and/ I had everything I could possibly want, so why not share some happiness with Selena? I felt sort of bad for ‘ruining her relationship with Austin’, not that they were even good for each other, so I decided to be a good ‘friend’ to her…or still act like one at least. God, I was just too perfect for my own good. Gorgeous, popular, smart, athletic, and now even sweet! Could I get any better?

The answer was obvious - no!
