Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 79
“You looked pretty,” I felt my stomach flip in
anxiousness. Please don’t be him. Please don’t be
him. “Pretty…pretty ugly.”
I shoved away from him, listening to his
condescending laughter. Despite the cruel insult, I felt
a sense of relief run through my body. Maybe even a
little hope.

I entered my job, sighing loudly. Mere glanced at me
and grinned. Her date with my brother is this Friday
and she can’t be happier. Lucky her. “How are you?”
I grinned at her. “Just peachy,” I replied in a sarcastic
voice. She sat on the counter with a grin on her face,
except this one was real.
“What am I going to wear?” she asked me and I
shrugged carelessly.
I placed my name tag on my shirt. “Well, seeing as
this person is my brother, you could wear a Barney
costume and win him over.” Her eyes sparkled and I
took a step forward, holding my hands out. “I’m not
saying that you should, though.”
She groaned. “Then what should I wear?”
I rolled my eyes. “Anything, wear anything,” I
retorted, grabbing the broom and casually sweeping.
Mere is on register duty today.
“What’s wrong with you?” she asked me and I
shook my head.
“It’s nothing,” I sent her a warning glare and
thankfully, she didn’t press.

Once I got home, I took a shower. I always bring
my phone into the bathroom and today, I proved
that it’s a mistake. My phone was incessantly ringing
and I couldn’t answer it in fear of ruining the cellular
device.
Once I got dressed, I decided to call whoever
decided to spam my phone with calls. I didn’t bother
to glance at the number and just clicked around until
I heard the familiar ringing. Whatever it is, it better be
important. “Hello?”
“Savannah? I’ve been calling you nonstop!”
Waverly’s annoying voice caused me to face palm. I
internally debated whether I should just hang up and
not answer her calls again. I decided against it
because she must be calling for something
important. “I have to talk to you about Jonah.” And
there goes my theory out the window.
“What?” I snapped angrily. My eyes widened slightly.
Where had that come from?
Waverly didn’t take a second to reply. “Watch your
tone with me. As of right now, you’re in the clear
thanks to Jonah.”
“What are you talking about?” I retorted, staring at
myself in the mirror. My hair was up in a messy bun
and I was making funny faces.
She sighed exaggeratedly. “My dress! Of course you
heard about it! It was ruined, ripped, shredded!”
“Your dress?” I asked, raising an eyebrow. I felt a
smirk tugging at my lips. “You mean the one you
went on and on about?”
“Yes, that dress!” she snapped. “My first suspect was
you! But Jonah said you weren’t anywhere near my
dress.”
“And you believed Jonah?” I asked her slowly. She
made a sound of confirmation. Jonah had lied for
me. He had lied for me to Waverly.
“He wouldn’t lie to me,” she replied jauntily. I rolled
my eyes, pursing my lips.
