Rating: PG


I was tossing and turning all night. Because of that pain in the neck Matt Enguarde I didn't get any sleep. I wanted to win that award so bad, but my recent string of misfortunes had left me suspicious that I would lose, maybe even due to cheating on the part of a certain bad lose. Like it or not, I couldn't stop thinking about Matt Enguarde. Matt was keeping me from my beauty sleep. I hated him, definitely. But I still couldn't stop thinking about him. The red numbers on my digital alarm clock read, "3:15." Definitely. I hated him.

I drifted off for a while and dreamed of Celeste. When I woke up again the numbers on my clock read, "3:45." Maybe I was going crazy, I thought. I drifted off again and saw Celeste. Maybe she was haunting me. Maybe I was going crazy. Then again, I could've used more sleep. Celeste's ghost was hovering over me, keeping me awake. Why didn't she go haunt Adrian instead? I really needed to sleep. Matt would know I wasn't sleeping.

What if she were haunting him too? He was already crazy.

He would know I wasn't sleeping. He wouldn't let it go without saying something. He was crazy. Really petty too. He never let anything go without saying something. His sneering face floated through my mind. Petty as always.

It hurt to admit that I hadn't always hated him. How could I feel anything good about that sneering face? To think I once liked him. Even though it hurt to admit it, I had. I had once been friends with Matt Enguarde. I had liked him. I was too naive then. I mean, really, friends with Matt Enguarde! I don't need anyone else to tell me I screwed up there. I was just too naive. I thought we could stay friends. I already know what a huge mistake that was. It didn't take me long to realize.

Why had I thought we could stay friends? I was soft. It didn't take me long to realize. It was too big of a mistake to take back. I was soft. Pretty soon I'd see the truth. I couldn't take it back. It left me tossing and turning all night. All as soon as I'd seen the truth. I wanted to win that award so bad, but I knew Matt wasn't above cheating and I was getting scared because I thought I could see my luck all running out.
