I stare at my reflection in disgust. To my plain red hair, dull green eyes, and bloated stomach. I never really cared about my looks. I was the kind of person who would go to a wedding looking homeless, like fuck it. You know?
Now, I could barely look at myself in the mirror without flinching. I’ve been called fat before, along with many vulgar words. I wasn’t affected in the slightest but when it comes from your bestfriend, that shit hits differently.
Not that I could consider Luke Waters as my bestfriend anymore, not after everything he’s done. Not after abandoning me just to be more popular. But deep down, I knew if he wanted to be friends again, I’d run back into his arms without hesitation. Maybe I’d even forgive him for what happened last Summer.

I was giddy after reading a text from Luke. He had invited me to go to a party with him. At first, we seemed to be drifting apart since the school year started. I’d tried inviting him over many times, but he always had some excuse. I was scared he was going to leave me for his new and popular friends. We’ve been friends since grade school but with the way he was acting, I was having doubts.
Parties weren’t my thing, but it was Luke who had invited me and I’d do anything for my bestfriend.
After seeing his text message, maybe our friendship isn’t doomed, I thought. I put on some high waisted ripped jeans that hid my stomach and a sleeveless crop top. I put on some light makeup before heading out.

I walked in the vanilla mansion and almost gagged. It smelled like shit, in the corner was some girl puking into an empty fish bowl. Soon after someone was yelling about their lifeless fish. As big as the place was, it was still really crowded. People were grinding while others were just straight up at it on the stairs.
I almost forgot why I came here and turned to leave, until I spotted Luke chatting with his new friends around the big ass sofa.
I frowned as my heart flared with jealousy. I shook of the feeling as I remembered that I was the bestfriend. Me. Not them.
I walked towards them with the proud knowledge of being friends with Luke. When Luke noticed me he tensed up before flashing me his pearl white teeth. He got up and hugged me causing me to frown. He wasn’t a hug type of person, which is why I was wondering what was up. I noted to ask it about him later, right now I was savoring this little moment.
My heart was doing the macarena in my chest and it wasn’t stopping anytime soon.
Luke pulled back as he said,” your the best friend I’ve ever had,” his voice sincere.
“Uh thanks?” This was so unlike Luke. He turned towards his friends and excused himself. Next thing I knew I was upstairs with Luke in a bedroom. I flushed as dirty thoughts invaded my head.
“Um, Luke? Is something up?”
He grinned sheepishly as he scratched the back of his neck. ” I just wanted to tell you something.”
" Which is?”
” L-like I s-said, your the best friend I've ever had,” his cheeks turned a tint of pink.
Was Luke Waters blushing? Was I fucking missing something?
“And I wanted you to know, that I really like you as more than a friend .” He said the last part so quietly, I almost didn’t hear him. He bit his lips, something he always did when he was nervous. ” Jade, please say something.”
" I-I feel the same.” I stuttered, still a bit shock with his confession.
Was this real? Does Luke Waters, my bestfriend that I’ve been craving after for the past three years, actually like me back?
Suddenly, his lips seemed to be the most interesting thing ever. His eyes flicked from my eyes and back down to my lips. He slowly leaned in and as soon as his soft lips brushed mine, all of Luke’s friends walked in. They were all holding similar red cups, all of them smiling mischievously. Before I could process what was happening, I was drenched head to toe with red punch.
I looked over at Luke, only to find him taking his phone from the corner of the room that was hidden under some clothes.
I started feeling a bit dizzy as it all suddenly clicked, he was recording me from the start. I felt even more humiliated as he wrapped his arm around Briar, a popular cheerleader who humiliated others just for fun .
She smirked at me as Luke said,″ did you really think anyone would like an ugly fat ass like you?” He snickered.
Tears rushed down my face as I ran out of the room, laughter following me. I ran downstairs, only to find everyone with their phones out. They looked up at me and laughed while others threw me look

Looking back at it, maybe not.
“Jada!” My mom suddenly yelled. It felt weird to haver her here, seeing as she was always at work. I barely saw either of my parents because they were so dedicated to work. They just had their anniversary and rushed back home to fetch a few documents as soon as it was over.
“Coming!” I yelled back as I ran down the stairs.
“You must be here for Jada. ” She exclaimed.
Who was she talking to?
“Yes I am. It’s nice to see you again Mrs. Green ,” a deep voice said, followed with a chuckle.
Holy shit.
My blood ran cold as I recognized the voice. I tried to turn around as I ridiculously thought of leaving out the bathroom window, but the damn stairs just had to squeak. I turn around slowly to see Luke staring at me amused, one of his perfect eyebrows arched.
“Hey Jada, you ready to go to school?” Luke said, making my eyes widen.
What the fuck is going on?!
