had.
    “Never in a million years did I think I would be having phone sex with someone I hadn’t fucked yet,” he voiced quietly. “Sleep now, Agata. I’ll see you in my dreams.”
    He hung up before I could respond. I closed my eyes knowing tomorrow I would be a different Agata, but tonight I would allow what happened to soothe me.
     
    ***
     
    I slept better last night than I had in years. Climbing out of bed and stretching, I couldn’t pinpoint the exciting feeling I had. I stood in front of the mirror feeling energized and refreshed. My hair was disarrayed, my eyes bright, and I looked relaxed, even felt it. I was absolutely ready to face the day.
    The shower was warm and wonderful, and I just let my wet locks hang loosely around my shoulders. I threw on my dress and shoes. My foundation and contouring were always the same and never changed. I generally would throw on some mascara, blush, and lipstick but today, I felt bold. I took the eyeshadow and applied it, keeping it simple but of course it enhanced my eyes making them wider, more appealing.
    “Morning,” I greeted, heading to the coffee pot to get a mug of coffee.
    “Woah.” I heard Tats from the kitchen as I walked past her.
    “Your make-up is different.”
    I offered Tats a look of acknowledgment.
    “You’re glowing,” commented Raven.
    “Thank you, see you later guys,” I bade and left the dorm.
    My normal everyday routines were suddenly filled with Reeve Gates.
    The rumor I was expecting to spread like wildfire about me and Reeve died even before it began.
    In one of my classes my phone went off, suggesting a text message came in. The screen displayed Reeve’s name and I unlocked my phone to view it.
     
    Reeve: You look hot today. You make Paris Hilton look like a Teletubbie.
     
    I almost burst out laughing, glad I controlled myself.
    “What?” Apple asked.
    “Nothing,” I replied, still beaming like a loon.
    Until one day, before the start of my lab class when Professor Lee turned on the lights. Written in bold letters across the white board I saw—
     
    AGATA, STOP HOOKIN’ UP WITH DEAN GATES, BITCH!

 
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter X
     
     
    Fast and Furiously Falling
     
    “Who the fuck wrote this shit?” Apple immediately went over the white board and erased it.
    “What’s going on here?” Professor Lee asked curiously as he advanced in front of the class.
    “Nothing, sir,” Raven answered. “Just a work of some jealous, insecure bitch.”
    I stood watching, mortified. My body stiffened while my face was impassive with a questioning brow. I was the picture of nonchalance. My classmates were murmuring behind my back. I couldn’t have been more embarrassed.
    “You’re saying something? Are you talking trash about her?” Tats confronted Miranda and pulled her by her ponytail.
    “Get your hands off of my hair!” Miranda snapped back.
    “Stop!” Professor Lee yelled. Neither of the two listened to him.
    “Tats, stop it!” I grabbed Tats’ arm and tried to break her grip on Miranda’s hair while Miranda’s friends pulled her back.
    “You’re done!” Miranda shouted, struggling to get out of their grip. “Why are you all defensive about it? It’s true, isn’t it? She’s hitting on Dean Gates. She even yelled it across the football field but made it look like she was saying Dean Richie. My boyfriend wouldn’t even lay a finger on her!”
    “Watch your mouth, wannabe,” Raven snarled.
    “Goth freakin’ girl!” Corrine, Miranda’s closest friend scoffed.
    “Weirdo,” Apple talked back.
    I heard Nadine say “Agata is a slut.”
    “Sorry. You seemed to have mistaken me for yourself,” I said smiling forcefully and trying to pretend like it didn’t hurt. It did, but I didn’t want to show it.
    “Oh shut up, you stupid hoe!” Miranda said right in front of my face.
    “Shaw! Ferrero! Stop this right now!” Professor Lee warned.
    “You shut up, you STD ridden pig!” I told her as I slapped her
