Sucks to be you

Zoey was jolted from her heavy nap by a weird ringtone that pierced through her head. It was a crooked female voice singing an off tune song.

' What's my name?

Zoey Tanner!!

Pretty pretty Zoey.

Greatest beauty on the whole universe.

Pretty pretty Zoey,

Who dares to mess with me?

Pretty pretty Zoey.

It was terribly sang and sounded annoying to the ears.

Zoey batted her eyelashes. Her eyes slowly opened and she blinked several times trying to adjust.

A line appeared between her brows when the ringtone continued.

" Argh Zoey shut the hell up!! "

She frustratedly groaned fumbling for her phone in between the blankets. She felt like she had been ran over by a tractor. Her head was so heavy and it ached like crazy.

" What is it? "

She answered after checking the caller's ID. Her voice was groggy as she yawned while stretching her tired arms.

Her body was tired and numb as she had uncomfortably slept for a couple of hours.

" Sleepy head, don't tell me you were sleeping at this time of the day? "

A very lively voice was heard at the other side of the phone. Ria's voice was so loud and she sounded very excited. She was in a noisy place too.

Zoey slowly took the blanket off her body and stood up. She was still wearing her home clothes from earlier. She quietly cursed glancing at her damp pillow. It sucked because it wouldn't dry out by bedtime.

Walking towards the huge French windows, she drew the curtains to let in the sunlight.

The dark melancholic room brightened up. When the outside cool breeze hit her face, her sombre mind relaxed a bit. Gazing outside, she realized that she had slept till late afternoon.

" What's the problem with sleeping at this time of the day? "

" Jeez, it sucks to be you! Your life is so much dull. "

Ria exclaimed rolling her eyes at the other end. Her voice was so loud that Zoey had to remove the phone from her ears for sometime to prevent them from being damaged.

" Are in a bar, it's too noisy. "

" You guessed it right. I reckoned you might be sad and lonely without me that's why I'm inviting you out. "

Zoey chuckled rolling her eyes. Ria knew her inside out.

" I'm not in the mood for partying. "

" I'm not inviting you to a bar. Get your ass up and meet me at the usual place in 30 minutes. "

Ria ordered before rudely hanging up the phone.

Zoey wordlessly eyed the screen that turned black. She shook her head and sighed, " whatever her highness. "

She placed the phone on the bed and sauntered to the bathroom for a quick shower.

While brushing her teeth, Zoey was startled glancing at the image of herself on the circular bathroom mirror.

Her face was ashen while her large eyes were red and swollen. She facepalmed muttering, " jeez how stupid, you must have cried yourself to death. " She sighed and took a hot shower.

After the relaxing shower, her tired body felt better and full of life.

She paired a light colored sweater with a miniskirt and on her feet were cute sandals that she had bought with Ria while strolling down the streets.

At the vanity table, she combed her long black hair and tied it into her favorite messy bun leaving her gorgeous long neck visible to the eyes. She then applied light make up on her face to hide the slight swolleness on her eyes.

Ria would feel bad and start raining questions on her if she knew that she had cried that much.

For final touches, she applied a lip gloss on her ruby lips.

Slightly smiling satisfied with her looks, she gave the mirror a last glance before picking her handbag and phone and walked out of the room.

Downstairs, she didn't bother to acknowledge whoever was in the living room. She expressionlessly marched out but she could swear that she heard her aunt's scornful voice. She rolled her eyeballs and sneered, " shameless old woman. "
