I groaned as I heard the alarm go off. Monday is the worst day! I wish it was Friday. I sat up and put on random clothes. I don't care. I just want to get this over with. I went in the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I didn't even bother to brush my hair. I went downstairs and saw Matthew looking at me, shaking his head.

"What?" I asked.

"Put on some real clothes and brush your hair. You look like a homeless person," I rolled my eyes.

"Fine." I groaned. I went back upstairs and put on skinny jeans, a white shirt, a black jacket, and finally, brown boots. I brushed my hair. I looked at myself. 'You look horrible' She's back. I looked at myself again and it was like I changed. I looked fat and ugly. I looked away before it can get to me.

I opened my door and went downstairs. Matthew looked at me. I blushed, he's checking me out! I couldn't help, but to feel excited.

"You look amazing," I just stood there, blushing like crazy.

"Can we go to the cafe today, I want hot chocolate," I groaned. He chuckled.

"Okay, sounds fine to me, as long as your happy," He smiled a sweet smile. I swooned and blushed madly.

"Class!!" The teacher yelled. I looked over.

"We have another new student and his name is Chase Carson" He waved and winked, all the girls swooned, except me. I only have eyes for Matthew. He's the one who makes me happy. I was lost in thought that I didn't notice someone calling out my name.
