Sixteen year old Nia Parks is the most popular girl in the eleventh grade. Everyday she comes to school with the biggest smile on her face. Every girl wishes their life was as perfect as hers. But what they don't know behind her smile is that its fo...
It's been a month since I've been out the loony bin. I haven't cut since I was put in there. But there's been days that I felt the need to cut.
Having all of this work put on me made me stressed. I've been studying nonstop. It's the hardest I've ever worked in a long time. My brain is worn out and I'm tired as hell.
"Are you done with all of your make up work?" Kai asks sitting on my bed.
"Yeah. Thanks for helping me." I give her a hug.
"You're welcome love. That's what friends are for."
"If it wasn't for your help I would still be working."
"Yeah. We know how lazy you can be." she laughs.
"Whatever." I giggle, playfully rolling my eyes.
My phone vibrated next to me and I picked it up to see who texted me, even though I know who it is. I replied to Dylan's message and tossed my phone to the side. He's been getting on my nerves lately. Everyday, he asks if Kieran has tried to do anything to me. I tell him no because it is the truth.
Kieran hasn't tried to do anything to me anymore ever since I corrected him about my feelings towards him. We still talk but not as much as we used to. I'm trying to keep my distance from him but its hard since we live in the same house.
"Why are you always dissing Dylan?" Kai blurts out.
"I'm not dissing him." I protested. "Yes you are. You reply to his messages whenever you feel like it and in school you barely talk to him."
"I barely talk anyways."
"Not when we're talking. You run your mouth a lot whenever we talk, just like you're doing now." she says.
"I don't run my mouth a lot." I laugh.
She gave me a yeah-right look. The only reason why I talk to her more is because she's my best friend, and she doesn't question me about everything that I do. Either way she's going to support me and that's all that matters to me.
"Girls! Dinner is ready!" Mrs. McCall yells from downstairs. Kai and I run downstairs.
For dinner, were having spaghetti with meatballs, salad and garlic bread. Kai and I quickly washed our hands then sat down. I was pretty hungry. It's been a while since I've had this much food in my system. I barely ate at home or school. But I've been eating lately at school.
Once we were seated and situated Mr. McCall said grace, then we dug into our food. The first few minutes of dinner was quiet until Mr. McCall broke the silence.
"Nia did you finish all of your make up work?" I didn't expect for him to ask me a question like that.
"Yes sir." I spoke up.
"Wow. That fast?" he chuckles.
"Yeah. I had some help from Kai but I did majority of it on my own."
"You let her help you out of all people?" Everyone laughed.
"Really Dad? I can't believe you just threw shade at me." Kai rolls her eyes.
"I was just kidding sweetheart." he says.
She faked smile at him and continued to eat her food, while everyone else engaged in a conversation.

I'm so happy that today is the weekend. I can finally sleep late for the next two days. It's a three day weekend.
Today I'm going to hang out with Dylan. Since I don't supposedly 'talk' to him I'm going to spend the whole day with him. Kai is dropping me off at his house after we finish getting our nails done. I haven't got my nails done in a while. Its probably been a year since I've gotten my nails done.
Good thing we made an appointment because we would've been in there for two hours. We were not going to wait that long just to get our nails done. It only took us thirty minutes. I was satisfied with how my nails looked. I got a burgundy color while Kai got black.

We went to pay and once we were done with that we left the nail salon.
"I'm hungry." Kai says. "You want something to eat?"
"Yeah. Dylan isn't going to feed me." I giggle.
We went to chick-fil-a and ordered ourselves a whole meal. Chicken nuggets, fries and a lemonade with Polynesian sauce.
I really did miss going here while I was in the loony bin. It felt like my first time eating this all over again. To be honest I forgot what this tasted like after eating all that nasty food for almost three months. I had gotten so used to it.
When we finished eating we headed to Dylan's house. This'll be my first time coming here in months. I don't even remember the last time I've been to his house. I wasn't allowed to go to his house anymore after I done a few bad things. But I did sneak over there a few times pretending to go to Kai's house.
Fifteen minutes later we pulled up to his house.
"Thanks for dropping me off love." I tell Kai.
"No problem baby girl." she smiles. I grabbed my trash and cup and climbed out of the car.
"Is Dylan going to drop you off? Or do you want me to pick you up?"
"If he doesn't get on my nerves then I'll text you but if not he'll drop me off."
"Ok. Bye love." she laughed.
"Bye." I waved.
Kai drove off and I made my way up the long driveway.
