Aphmau POV

Everyone left early in the morning while I was still asleep, they left a letter about how they had a great time but they needed to leave, I stuffed the letter in my diary and got ready. Today I felt active, something's made me feel rebellious in a way, probably the side effects of trashing people's houses yesterday.

I had a quick shower before a sudden thought crossed my mind, I felt like going for a new look just to surprise everyone, for example; wearing something that I don't usually wear or haven't even tried bother wearing it. I stroked my imaginary beard searching through the walk- in closet, I pulled out a white v- neck top, black ripped jeans, a leather jacket that I didn't even know I had, and ankle boot heels. I wore everything I got out and stared menacingly at the heels, I swore to never wear these monsters, but we should always try something new.

I slipped the boots on, a surprised expression filled my face as I walked around the room, these boots were so comfortable!

I combed my hair into a high messy bun with a few strands falling near my ear, here and there. I looked like some complete badass chick. I looked at my naked face, I hate make- up, yet my mum bought me a ton of them. I looked at the weird paintbrushes in confusion, am I suppose to paint my face with these?

I tried jogging my memory on how my mum used to apply her make up, I honestly didn't really need make up, but since I want to make quite the entrance today, I just have to experiment and try to use these death traps.

I applied eyeshadow which didn't look as bad as I thought it would, so I decided to go apply the black eyeliner which might I say looked on fleek on my eyes. I completed my eyes with addition of mascara and an eyelash curler which I'm never using again as I nearly scooped out my eyeballs.

I stared down at my make up collection of things I didn't buy, there was this thing called blush, is that suppose make you blush, because that would be embarrassing if you were talking to your crush and you blushed all the time, he would think he made you flustered and you do not want that.

Anyways, I went off topic. I got the big brush and lightly stroked it on my cheeks just like my mother did, I am such a newb! I searched through the lipsticks, I didn't have much time left, I wonder how girls do this so quickly. I found the pink lipstick and applied them to my lips making them look fuller. I slipped my shades on to complete the whole badass-y look.

I look completely different that I didn't even recognise myself. I even got scared, I had no idea who the girl in the mirror was, because if that was me- wait, let me rephrase that, that can not be me since I have no sense in style, but apparently I've improved.

I grabbed my bag and rolled down the stairs childishly, I haven't ever had much fun getting ready before in my life, and now I'm acting like a kid who is rolling down the stairs weirdly. I ate a granola bar, because it feels like I've never had those in ages. I checked that I tidied everything up before I left, I remembered I had to act mature to be able to live a proper life.

I left the house, the weather was beautiful so I had the right idea to wear my sunglasses. I walked confidently to school, a few girls glared at me from the distance because of their boyfriends eyeing me, so I got angry and shouted,

"It's not my fault your boyfriends can't control their hormones!" They gasped and looked away owhile their boyfriends looked at them sheepishly.

'Serves them right' my inner voice spoke.

I arrived at school and walked towards my friends who were chatting to each other, they finally looked at me.

"Hey, might I help you?" Molly said politely, she was the goody two shoes.

"What? Don't say you don't recognise me." I lifted up my sunglasses and they choked in midair.

"Aphmau?! Wow, you look hot." Teony complemented, I rolled my eyes playfully.

"Thanks, I just wanted to change my style since I've been wearing the innocent look for too long." I smiled taking the coffee out of Teony's hand and took a large sip of it, and returned it into her hands.

She glared at me. " My Coffee!" Teony was obsessed with coffee.

"Hey guys!" Zoey yipped playfully from behind, Kiki, Lucinda and Emmalyn followed along behind her.

"Who's she?" Lucinda questioned eyeing me.

"Why Doesn't Anyone Recognise Me!" I yelled frustrated.

"Aphmau?" Kiki questioned with wide eyes.

"The One And Only." Lucinda smirked.

"We look like sisters who wear the same clothing." Me and Lucinda coincidentally wore the same style of clothing and honestly we somehow kind of look like each other, but with a few different features. We could actually be mistaken as sisters.

Since I arrived late and the others were waiting for me, we skipped going to our homeroom and went to our first class.

***

It was lunch time and we haven't  yet seen Katelyn and the girls or any of the guys, they just keep on skipping school. Everyone was talking about the bonfire tonight which I'm also hyped for.

"Aph are you coming to the bonfire?" Emmalyn asked, I could see the pleading look in her eyes.

"Yup." I nodded, not bothered to give a long answer as I was looking around the canteen.

I sighed crossing my arms on the table and hiding my face. I didn't even notice that our table became quiet because of the noise of other students talking from other tables.

"Who's she? Is she new?" A voice spoke making me stiffen.

"You could say she's new, she's my old friend who just moved here after a long while." I could visibly feel the smirk from Kiki's voice.

"What's she doing? Did you make her upset already?" I blushed, I probably look strange now since my face was inches away from the table, luckily I had my shades on.

"Upset? No. Really nervous because of y'all's presence? Yup." I slowly lifted my head of the table, glaring at Zoey.

My eyes widened tremendously, the whole gang was sitting on the table. My eyes scanned around the whole table until it landed at the person who was sitting down at the end of the table. Laurance was chatting next to Lillian, who I assume is his girlfriend. I think I may need a burial for my heart

I could feel tears swell up in my eyes, right now it's no time for crying. But I couldn't help myself. The tears slipped down my cheek and more swelled up in my eyes. I could feel the person sitting next to me, who was Lucinda, rubbed my arms comfortingly.

"Zoey, I really think you did make her cry." Travis looked at me panicky.

"I don't think she's crying because of me." I took of my sunglasses revealing my full face.

"Miss me?" I chuckled.

Before I know it I was lifted from my seat and pulled into a hug. Man, who's cutting onions?

"Why Did You Leave Me? Remember You Promised Me You'll Never Leave Me! You Broke That Promise, w-why?" I remember clearly, that day when I was taken by Aaron I nearly missed out the part that Laurance whispered before he fell unconscious.

"A-Aph?" His voice came out raspy, I quickly looked his way.

"P-Promise me, that you'll never leave me." I looked down, I couldn't promise anything right at this moment.

"Promise Me!" He pleaded weakly.

I looked at his face, it was unbearable to see him in pain. "I-I Promise." I managed to speak before Aaron pushed me against him and sped away.

"And I did fulfil that promise, I never left you as long as I was in your heart." He pulled away looking at me.

"Ahem, surely after a year I do deserve a hug as well." I looked at Garroth, who was giving me a cheeky grin, but I could see his eyes was getting watery.

I ran into Garroth's arms and he kissed me on the forehead, I thought I heard someone growl, but that probably was my imagination.

I gave everyone else hugs and I was introduced to Lillian who gave me a malicious smile.

I got some bad vibe from her, but it's probably my emotions running against her because of my jealousy.

'Jealousy' that word sprung around my head as I looked at Laurance who's arm was wrapped around Lillian.

'Maybe I never meant anything to him at all' I sighed looking at everyone else who looked a lot happier,

'But I do know that the happiness will soon vanquish'
