Chapter 3: Reality Check
Marie
I wake up and immediately jump out of bed I'm so excited for today. I glance at my clock and see that it's only 9:00am. "Plenty of time." I mumble to myself.
I head downstairs to make some toast to find my mother already in the kitchen. "Morning , Marie" she sighs tiredly. My mother works night shifts at a local company that sells computers, but she's just the janitor. "Good morning, Mom".
"How was work?" I ask. "Same old, same old", she gives me a glance. "Have you seen your father? " "No" I reply and watch her face crumple. For some reason this ticks me off. I don't know when she's going to realise he's a loser.
"I don't know why your asking, you know he's probably off with one of his many mistresses." "Marie Lily Jones! I will not have you talk about your father like that!.
" Whatever , you know it's true" I snap. "By the way I'm going out tonight. "Where?" she narrows her eyes at me.
"I have a date."

Tristian
I glance at my clock 6:30pm. Almost time for the show to start. I begin to prepare for the night.
I make sure I'm extra late to go just to make her sweat. The look on her face is going to be priceless.

Marie
I leave out the door at 6:30 wanting to get there early. I arrive at almost 7:00 and I wait.
I wait, and when the clock shows 8:00 I begin to worry. What if he got in a wreck, or got mugged?
Tristian finally enters at 8:50 and my blood runs cold. On his arm is one of the schools popular girls Haley Moore.
Tristian saunters up to me " Hey, Marie" he smirks. I feel embarrassment in the pit of of my stomach "What's going on?" I ask "what about our date? "
Before for can respond Haley speaks up"You thoughthe would really go on date with you?" She sneered "You must be crazy."
By now Tristian Tristan is holding his stomach laughing "Oh my God" he wheezes you thought I was serious, this is to funny!"
I slowly stand up from the booth embarrassment and shame making me feel sick I can feel the tears picking my eyes but I hold them in.
I give Tristian my best death glare. "I can believe I thought you were a nice person, your just cruel!" He just smirks "The world's a cruel place babe."
I stare him long and hard and something cold claws it's way into my heart and rage like I've never felt consumes me.
"Your going to regret this."
