Peyton Hosini

"It's not what it looks like! Tell them Atlas, tell them how you just up and kissed me!" I hissed.

"Oh come on, you kissed me!" he shouted back.

"Yeah, well if you wouldn't have kissed me it wouldn't have happened!" I snarled back.

"You guys kissed! I knew it, pay up boys," Matthew butted in.

"Guys lets just leave. This is none of our business." Keith said. Finally, someone with a smart comment.

They all left and for a while I had zoned out. I guess I didn't notice we were sitting in silence, but I soon snapped out of it and everything had registered in my head. I had come to shut down a party, not kiss someone who I hardly knew for 2 days.

"Why did we have to be roommates? You're already stirring up trouble! I knew you were no good the day I saw you on that plane!" he snarled.

"Me! You kissed me! This is all your fault you arrogant ass!" I spat out as all of my heart began to beat faster.

"Stay away from me, I will be warning everyone about how you like to kiss strangers," he threatened.

My eyes widened and I rushed out of his room to mine. My door slammed closed behind me and I slid down to the floor. My thoughts rushed to one thing. My imaginary reputation. I say imaginary because it hadn't even began to build. Now it's starting to build, but not the way that I thought it would. If he wasn't bluffing then how would everyone think of me.

My mind continued traveling from one thing to the next. I recalled this morning's events, and realized that I'd already made people hate me. Every soul at that party probably hated me now. I couldn't help but scold myself for handling the situation so poorly.

"Great Peyton," I thought.

My only thought now was to head to bed, I needed to sleep on this. I let out a sigh and climbed under my pink plush covers. I shut my eyes, and let sleep invade my body.

8:00 AM

Beeeeeeeeeeeep. Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. Beeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

"Mmm," I groaned out as I stretched my long legs out.

My eyes flew open, and I quickly slipped on my infamous pink slippers. I needed to develop a morning routine, as I would be busy in the near future due to class. Making my way to the bathroom, I stood in the mirror. I groaned at my appearance and quickly hopped in the shower. As I stood in the shower, I couldn't help but revisit the past hours.

"A new day, a new way," I told myself. Today was going to be great.
