October 28

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to be feeling, but I can guarantee I'm not happy. Chandler has been blowing up my phone since last night. I've still not responded. 

I glance over at the clock. It's almost 6 am. I gotta get ready to go to school. I've still not told Kaylin about Chandler and Syd kissing. I didn't want to inform her until later. 

This is what she was worried about. For once Kaylin was right. 

I don't know why but I've been really scared to go back to school since yesterday. I don't know if it was because I'd see Chandler, or Syd, or see them together. He wouldn't do that would he? 

Of course he would. Look at how quickly he went from Brianna to me. 

I let out a sigh. May as well get this day over with. 

I drag myself out of bed and head to my closet. I grab black skinny jeans, a 'Fry Day' shirt, a bra, and underwear and head to the bathroom. 

I take a quick shower and when I get out I see that it's 6:15. I fix my hair decently and then put on a small amount of concealer, mascara, and do my tightline with eyeliner. Usually I'll leave the eyeliner off but today I feel like I need to impress myself. 

Examining myself in the mirror, I let out a sigh. This is as pretty as I get. 

I don't even care about wearing my contacts. I grab my glasses out of the case and put them on my face. Usually I'd wear my contacts or forget them completely, but today I want to wear my glasses because why not. [Outfit below]

I grab my galaxy backpack from beside my bed and search through it to make sure I've got everything. I'd much rather use my old one from the past three years, but nooo Katherine had to make me use my new backpack she picked out for me. I hate it when Katherine picks out my clothes. All she buys me is skirts, dresses, and fancy-ish clothes. 

I walk downstairs and see Karson and Elliot ready and waiting for me. Dad got Elliot a car which is a little upsetting considering I'm his birth child and the same age as Elliot but whatever. Not like I'd drive it anyway. 

Elliot smirks at me. "So you found your glasses?" 

I roll my eyes. "I never had to find them. I always knew where they were." 

"Mhm." 

We have to leave for school earlier since we have to drop off Karson. His middle school is much larger than I thought which is scary. 

Katherine waves us off as we make our way towards Elliot's car. Dad must have already left for work. Lame. 

I get in the passenger's seat and get buckled in. There's already a knot forming in my stomach. "Do you guys want to stop and get something to eat before we go to school?" Elliot asks. "I already brushed my teeth. No thanks." I mutter and pull my phone out of the front pocket in my backpack.
