The next morning was hell.
All through breakfast, mum kept pestering me about what happened. She even tried following me up the stairs when I went for a shower. So much for not wanting to talk about it.

Not being able to take it anymore and half way up the stairs, I spin around and yell, "Enough! I'll tell you tonight, just let me get ready for school. Please?"

Mum blinks rapidly at my sudden outburst before pointing a finger at me. "Fine, but I want details."
I turn back around, rolling my eyes. "Of course you do." I mutter.

Once in my room, I take a nice long shower, using lots of my favourite strawberry body wash in the hopes to sweeten my sour mood.

It didn't work.

After that, I dried my hair and applied some mascara, the only makeup I own admittedly. Then I was left with the hardest part.

What to wear.

Usually I don't care what I wear as long as my converse will go with it. Today, however, all I could think about was Brecken and his lips on mine. Even if things didn't end so great, I still wanted to look nice.

I feel as though people can learn from my knowledge.

After ten minutes of debate, I finally choose ripped black jeans with a soft white jumper and black converse. Brushing out my hair, I tie it into a bun, letting loose hairs hide my face like a veil. I look in the mirror and sigh. Today my glasses look stupidly larger and I have a pimple that had blossomed on my forehead.

Just great.

Swinging my bag over my shoulder, I run down the stairs, almost crashing into Molly who had been holding a bucket of Lego. The box tipped and fell, spilling the little devil bricks all over the hallway.

"Tegan!" Molly hissed, putting her hands on her hips. You honestly wouldn't think she was four years old.

"Sorry, Moll." I say quickly, pecking a kiss on her forehead I move to go out the back door.

"Well aren't you going to help me?" She yells, I could just hear the hissy fit coming.
"I have a bus to catch!" I yell over my shoulder. "Ask Kieran!"
I inwardly smile to myself. Kieran will have a terrific morning.

The bus was quick, thank god. However, Brecken wasn't on it like I'd hoped. I don't know, I thought maybe we could talk. But he wasn't there.

Stepping off the bus, Megan is waiting for me as usual, however this time everyone is with her.

"Have you heard the news?" Maisy immediately says, pouncing on me.
"What news?" I reply, a little uneasily.
"Tickle Me Belly has released its new album!" She cries, jumping up and down.

I raise an eyebrow. Speechless.

Taylor rolls his eyes. "You weren't supposed to ask her that, Maisy. You were supposed to ask her about the other thing."
"The other thing?" I say, looking around my friend group.
Lily was the one to answer. "Brecken Davis has got a new girlfriend."

Cue the breakdown.
