CHAPTER 22
"IS THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENING?!"
I woke up finding Dr. Phillips eyes on me. "Are you awake?
Your'e operation's done." It took me a few moments to
process that. I'm done? IM DONE! I got up in a
sitting position quickly. I lifted up my hand towards my
nose.
"Can I get a mirror?" I asked Dr. Phillips. He reached
into his pocket taking out a small mirror. Smiling, he handed it to
me. I stared into the mirror unsure. Was the nose I saw in the
mirror mine? My nose was how it looked before but instead, it was a
jet-ski slope nose. I held the mirror farther away from me to see
my whole face. I looked gorgeous!
I seriously couldn't wait to go to school. What happened after
that? Not much. Apparently, my mom knew about it and paid a little
extra. After thanking Dr. Phillips, I changed and my mom and I
drove home.
"What time is it?" I asked my mom. She replied with a
"2:59". It was already 2:59?! I texted Jamie and
Victoria to come over. After telling them about my nose, and that
they could come, they said yes.
"Hey Heather, I'm going to pick up Cameron and Elizabeth
and then go shopping so we'll be home just a tad late.
We're also going to pick up dinner. That okay?" My mom
asked.
"Yeah, that's fine. You be on your way." At least I
got the house to myself. I added, "Where's
dad?"
"Work." And that was all.
They arrived quickly after sending the texts but they seemed
distant.
"Hey, a new transfer student came today. Name's Bell. She
looks okay but Taylor disapproves." Taylor? When did they need Taylor's
approval?I
shook it off.
"Bell? I don't know, I'll check her out on Monday.
Like my nose?" I asked them trying my best not
to sound like I was bragging. They just nodded and started
striking up conversations like I wasn't
even there even when I tried to talk in.
"Hey we got to go soon, we've got plans with erm...
Taylor. We would invite you too but we've
planned this like forever and the van will be full so umm.. Is that
okay?" Jamie asked. I obviously
just couldn't go on a rampage or anything so I nodded
speechless.
"Great! We'll be on our way now." Victoria gidded. I
was a little uncertain now about them. They
just left right after that slamming the door. Not even saying a
small Good Bye.
It was getting dark out and it was 6:30. Bored out of my mind, I
decided to take a nap. I tucked
myself in and fell asleep. Well, I slept alot more than a normal
nap.
I woke up to the vibration of my cell phone. I got up and looked at
the time. 9. I got up and
opened the door quietly. Elizabeth's light was turned off and
my mom came out. She went into
her room and I scanned the kitchen. There was Chicken wings on the
counter with a sign that said
HELP YOURSELF HEATHER.
My phone continued ringing. I ran over to it. It was from
RESTRICTED. I picked it up anyways.
"Hello?" I asked into it. On the other line, a voice
rasped, "7 days... You have 7days." I dropped
my phone and the phone went dead. I was freaking out, it was
like the movie, "The Ring" and I
was freaking out. I believed in scary movies sometimes. One of
my flaws.
I got another call. I didn't check the ID this time, I just
opened the phone and yelled, "Leave me
alone!"
"Wow, chill." Victoria said. I heard Taylor whispering in
the background trying not to let me hear
but I heard anyways. She said, "Wow, she actually believed
that? Talk about gullible." I heard
laughter. Then Jamie's voice whispering, "Yeah! She evened
believed the excuses we made."
My face flushed. What had just happened? How did my friends turn
their backs on me so quickly?
Was Jason a part of this? I hung up in confusion. For the rest of
the night I craved food. I ate all the
chicken along with some 2 cans of coke, the whole BBQ Pringles
and oranges. I brushed my teeth
and cried myself to sleep.
