good at pretending.

that the boy she’s in love with doesn’t exist.

life crumbles before her very

But Stacey’s

And it’s going to ruin everything,
Excerpt
I
wake to the sound of a drill-saw attempting to channel through a concrete pylon
right next to my head.
“Why?”
I grunt. Only it sounds more like “uggghhh”, even to my ears. Apparently being
woken by drill-saw seriously impedes my ability to form words. I reach my hand
out and slam something in front of me, presumably the drill-saw, most likely a
clock radio. Regardless, the action makes the noise stop, thank hell.
Ugh.
While the blast of noise has stopped, there’s still a ringing in my head of
dizzy-making proportions. Not to mention that my tongue tastes like I’ve been
eating road-kill. Yuck.
I
squint one eye open and then scrunch my lid shut immediately as protection from
the harsh yellow light coming in through the window framed by black-flowered
curtains. What fresh hell is this? Who has opened my—
Shit.
I
don’t have black-flowered curtains.
I
inch open my lid at snail’s pace, this time preparing myself for the assault of
light from the left of the room. Yep. Black floral curtains still there.
I
open my eyes wider and take in more of the room in front of me. Aside from the
window, there’s a black bedside table with a digital clock on the top of it,
right next to a red lamp. The floor is covered in a shaggy-looking cream
carpet, a black skirt and red lacy bra lying on top of it.
Oh, no. Please, please
no …
I
slowly raise the white sheet from my body. Yep, exactly as I’d suspected.
My black skirt and red bra.
This,
of course, leaves only one question. But do I really want to look? Can I?
I
rack my brain, trying to put together the pieces of the night before. There was
the party at Joe’s. I’d gone there with Kate, because Dave and the band were
playing. Michael. I saw Michael. Tequila. Lots
of tequila.
I
glanced down at my hand. Seven little lipstick lines mar its surface. One for
each shot. At least I can remember that.
But
how the hell did I get here? And, more importantly, where is here?
