Chapter 6

Later that night I got ready in my bathroom, putting on my jewelry, putting on makeup, then I put on the beautiful red dress.

I sat down in front of my mirror and attempted a cute messy bun. After multiple tries, I got it right and pulled a few strands of hair out in front of my face.

Ding!

A notification popped up with a text message from Cynthia.

"T𝚑𝚎 𝚐𝚒𝚛𝚕𝚜 (𝚠𝚎𝚕𝚕, 𝚎𝚡𝚌𝚎𝚙𝚝 𝙼𝚎𝚛𝚎𝚍𝚒𝚝𝚑) 𝚠𝚊𝚗𝚝 𝚖𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚝𝚎𝚕𝚕 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚢'𝚛𝚎 𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚢 𝚜𝚘𝚛𝚛𝚢." I read out loud as I retouched my mascara.

'Then why did you do it?'

Ding!

I rolled my eyes and looked down, expecting see another message from Cynthia. To my surprise, it was from Meredith.

𝙳𝚘𝚗'𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚍𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚜𝚑𝚘𝚠 𝚞𝚙 𝚝𝚘 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚢 𝚝𝚘𝚗𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝.

I rolled my eyes and typed a reply back : 𝙽𝚘𝚝 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚌𝚊𝚗 𝚜𝚝𝚘𝚙 𝚖𝚎 𝚑𝚞𝚑?

𝚆𝚑𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛, 𝚢𝚘𝚞'𝚕𝚕 𝚕𝚘𝚘𝚔 𝚞𝚐𝚕𝚢 𝚊𝚗𝚢𝚠𝚊𝚢

𝙰𝚠𝚠, 𝙸 𝚛𝚎𝚖𝚎𝚖𝚋𝚎𝚛 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚐𝚒𝚛𝚕𝚜 𝚝𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚖𝚎 𝚖𝚢 𝚍𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚜 𝚠𝚊𝚜 𝚌𝚞𝚝𝚎 𝚠𝚑𝚎𝚗 𝙸 𝚋𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚒𝚝.

When she didn't respond, I sent one more text and turned off my phone.

𝚈𝚎𝚊𝚑, 𝙸 𝚍𝚒𝚍𝚗'𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚔 𝚜𝚘. 𝙽𝚘𝚠 𝚋𝚎 𝚊 𝚐𝚘𝚘𝚍 𝚕𝚒𝚝𝚝𝚕𝚎 𝚋𝚒𝚝𝚌𝚑 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚏𝚞𝚌𝚔 𝚘𝚏𝚏.

I got up and stood in front of my floor length mirror to admire my look.

'It needs one more thing.' Cassidy commented, and I grabbed a small red clutch from my table.

'Perfect! We look beautiful.'

'Yeah, I can tell that It's gonna be a good night.'

Oh how wrong we were. . . .

I parked my car on the sidewalk next to Ethan's mansion. The roads were filled with cars, that all belonged to high school seniors attending the party.

I could hear the music from down the street and the closer I got, the louder it became.

I climbed up the marble steps and, stepping over some passed out people, entered the house.

I was greeted with the sharp stench of alcohol mixed with multiple sweaty bodies.

I passed a couple that were viciously making out, lip biting and all.

'Ow, that looks like it hurts.'

I entered the kitchen and was me with some teenagers vigorously humping each other on the countertop.

'Wow, ok so it's basically a regular high school party. '

I poured some water into a cup and walked around, watching blankly.

'There goes the plan of getting his attention. There's over 300 people here. He'll never notice me, what was I thinking? '

'Here comes your chance.'

I looked up and saw a middle-aged woman that looked like Ethan going around ushering people into the living room.

'I think they're gonna sing him Happy Birthday.'

'Cmon, you've got to get in the middle.'

I pushed through the crowd and got close enough to watch Ethan from the back. All the sudden he turned around sniffing the air and locked eyes with me.

'Do you think-'

"Oh fuck no! No fucking way bro! "

He stepped back and I looked around to see who he was talking about.

"No way this nobody is my mate!" He was looking at me, so I pointed towards my self in an asking gesture.

"Yes, you with the orange hair. Bro, she could have at least given me someone hot." He walked around in a circle, lamenting loudly as people started walking into the living room.

His buddies beside him were laughing and pointing at me, causing everyone else to look at me.

I overheard one of them say, "The orange haired chick is your mate? Man, I feel bad for you."

The middle guy replied, "Bro if you do anything, her dads gonna kill you.

The other guy next to him spoke, "You're gonna reject her, right bro? "

"Of course dude, just cause she's my mate doesn't mean I have to be with her."

I felt my heart break into a million pieces as my jaw dropped.

At this point, everyone in the room was staring at me, anticipating Ethan's next move.

'He wouldn't.'

He stepped out of his little huddle and confidently walked over to me.

"Hi, I'm Rosalyn and I think we're mates." I forced a smile and stood there awkwardly.

"I don't care, I'm assuming you know what's gonna happen next."

"You don't have to do this, heck you don't even know me. "

"Ha, you think I care. Let's get this over with." He towered over me with a confident smirk on his face.

"I, Ethan Campbell hereby reject- "

'This isn't happening.'

"But you winked at me once! " I gasped out in desperation.

"In case you haven't noticed, I flirt with every girl I see unless they're ugly. So you're not special. "

"You don't mean that." I tried to reassure myself but it didn't work.

"If I can have any girl I want, why would I choose you? "

"I, Ethan Campbell hereby reject- "

"What's your name nobody?"

"Please you don't have to-"

"Her name is Rosalyn, Rosalyn Ambrose." Meredith stepped through the crowd and stood next to Ethan smugly.

"I, Ethan Campbell hereby reject the ugly nerd Rosalyn Ambrose as my mate. "

I felt undescribable pain go through me as I fell to my knees

.

He only winced slightly and joined everybody else in laughing at me.

"I can't believe she expected be to be with her, especially with her looking like that."

He continued laughing with his friends before turning back to me, a cruel smirk adorning his face.

"One last thing. "

I watched helplessly as he pulled Meredith close and kissed her.

Through my pouring tears, I saw Reid watching me from across the room and I knew he just watched this happen. I saw him mouth the words I warned you and disappear into the crowd.

I looked around, my vision blurring by the incoming tears. Everyone was laughing and pointing, most were filming me on their cell phones. I knew everyone would know about this before the day was even over.

'Let's get out of here.'

I felt her take over as I blacked out, disappearing to the back of my mind.
