"She is upstairs, first door on the right," I hear my mom say from downstairs

"She is upstairs, first door on the right," I hear my mom say from downstairs.

I didn't go to school for 3 reasons a.) I don't feel go at all b.) I don't want to talk to Ace or anybody c.) I just don't want to go in general.

Everything that happened last night at the party and with Ace is something I am not ready to talk about yet. What I mean by that is at school people definitely will ask me questions like. Was he good? Did you do it? Those are the types of questions I am trying to avoid.

The knob to my door slowly starts to turn.

"There she is," Alexis says.

Thank God it's them if it was anybody else I would have freaked out.

"What now, come to ask me what happened."

"We kinda already know what happened from the looks of this morning," Gracie says.

"What do you mean by looks," I say.

They both plop themselves down by the edge of my bed. I sit my body up so I could listen better.

"You didn't come in with Ace this morning," Gracie says.

"Wait he went to school," I ask.

"Yeah, he came in. But was in bitchy mood, only talk to Blake, ignored everyone else including us, and his eyes were bright red," Gracie says.

"That's terrible," I say.

"Yeah. Why didn't you come to school?"

"I didn't feel that great," I say.

"Lie," Alexis says.

"Huh," I question her.

"Mia just tell us the truth," Gracie says.

"Fine, I didn't come to school because I don't want to run into Ace," I say.

It felt good to tell someone.

"Do you even remember anything from last night," Gracie asks.

"The last thing I remember is waking up at Ace's house," I say.

"Did you and Ace talk about the party when you woke up at least," Alexis asks.

"No why?"

Gracie and Alexis both look at each other and then back at me.

"He didn't tell you what happened," Gracie says.

"We never got to talk about what happened at the party, he was more concerned about the fact that I blacked out," I say.

"Oh well did you talk to him today," Alexis asks.

"No he went to school and I don't want to talk to him that is why I stayed home," I said.

"So to be clear you don't know what happened," Gracie says.

"No, I don't, did something bad happen?"

"Yeah?" Alexis says.
