Awkward

Chapter 8 Reeling Back

I sat up in my room on my bed with my knees drawn up to my chest after he'd left. I willed myself to cry some more, but there was no way I could squeeze out one more tear. I had cried myself almost senseless.

Chad. My Chad was getting back together with that slut, Jenna!

My insides churned with anger and disappointment. Why did Chad have to be so…oblivious?! I f he wasn't, he would've been mine by now.

I hugged my knees closer to me and sighed. I reached over to my side table and picked up my phone. I texted Tawni, asking her if she could come over now.

It being Friday night, my mom wasn't home, so Tawni and I could have a private conversation.

Sure. She said back. My dad's out with your mom, and who knows how long they'll be gone…

I sat there for a few more minutes, then got up and went downstairs.

Leftover chocolate cake was sitting on the counter, and some ice cream was in the freezer. I put a huge slice of and plopped five ginormous spoonfuls of mint chocolate chip ice cream on top.

I was scarfing it all down, when Tawni walked in. "What are you doing?" she asked when she saw my bowl and depressed expression.

I decided not to beat around the bush, and cut right to the chase.

"Chad got back together with slutty Jenna," I spat out her name like a dirty word. And in my book, it was.

Tawni froze after tossing her keys and bag on the counter.

"What? I thought tonight was going to change things between you two! Who is this girl?!" she raged.

I sighed. "Yeah, me too. But apparently, Chad didn't take all the hints that I put out there, and when Jenna called him, saying she wanted to get back together, he didn't think twice…But we did almost kiss. So I guess that counts for something," I muttered, shoveling spoonfuls of soggy cake into my mouth.

Tawni contemplated this awhile.

"I know!" she finally squealed, making me jump into outer space. I glared at her and took another bite, calming my nerves.

She ignored me and continued.

"We should prank call him! We could ask him questions…And maybe break them up!"

I shrugged nonchalantly, not really caring. Right now, I just wanted to wallow in self-pity (and finish eating my cake).

She grabbed my wrist, dragging me up the stairs. She then got her phone out and I rattled off Chad's number by heart. Tawni blocked it so he wouldn't know who was calling, then pressed send. She put it on speaker.

"Let me do all the talking, he'll know its you if you say anything," she whispered as it rang.

Finally, on the fifth ring, he picked up.

"Hello? CDC here," came his sexy voice.

Tawni grinned at me as I pretended to swoon. "Hi, Chad," Tawni said smoothly, in the most flirty voice she could muster up. I rolled my eyes. Honestly? She was going to use this approach?

"Who is this?" he asked with a short yawn. He must've been sleeping.

Tawni ignored his question. "Who are you currently dating, hot stuff?" she asked, still flirtatious. I narrowed my eyes at her and she mouthed "What?"

"…Nobody-I'm single…," Chad answered slickly.

My hands formed fists and I was about to scream "LOAD OF BULL" into the phone, when Tawni clamped her hand tightly over my mouth.

I seethed inside with anger. How could he just deny it like that?!

"Oh, come on Chad. You've got to be dating somebody with those looks you have!" Tawni pried.

Chad sighed. "Fine, I just got back together with Jenna...But really, who is this?"

Tawni hesitated. "Um…Taylor Swift…What does Jenna look like?" she questioned farther.

"Really? Taylor Swift? Cool."

He was so gullible to believe that…But then again, he was also half asleep

"Jenna has waist-length black hair, green eyes, is really tiny, and super hot," he continued dreamily.

Ooh I hate that girl's guts.

I looked at Tawni boredly. I already knew all of this. I didn't give a crap to what she looked like. She could look like Marylyn Monroe for all I care.

"I'm having a birthday party for her at my house on Saturday night," he rambled. "She's turning Seventeen."

Tawni's eyes lit up and she smiled impishly.

"Oh, cool, well I need to go now…so bye!" Tawni said hurriedly. She hung up before Chad could say another word.

"Sonny! That's exactly what I was waiting for him to say!" she told me excitedly.

"And this means…?" I asked, examining my nails.

"…That he's bound to invite you since you're his best friend! And maybe you could break them up," she said in a "duh" tone.

"This calls for another make-over!"

And so, yet another session of torture started for me.

I know its short…im sorry….i feel so bad….. but at least I updated, huh?
