Am I drunk?

I have to be drunk. I was basically dumped last night- or I dumped him... I don't know! My point is, the guy I liked has been lying to me, and yet for some reason I woke up feeling  refreshed. Yeah I'm obviously annoyed and kinda sad by the situation, but I'd be lying if I said ending it with Duncan didn't take a huge weight off my shoulders.

...Wait. Did I end it with Duncan?

I mean, I did walk off, so does that mean it's over? I'll admit, it's sad, but this is a competition. Maybe I was stupid to think I could balance having a relationship while competing for a million dollars.

"Hey, girl," Leshawna says as she joins me outside. "Couldn't sleep?"

I got an early start this morning. I don't know, ever since last night, something just feels different. I wanted to cry and wallow in self pity, but I couldn't. Maybe it's because this entire situation has already drained me, I don't know. I mean, how could it possibly get any worse?

"No, quite the opposite actually."

"Really?" She asks surprised. "But you seemed so heartbroken last night."

"I was- I am."

"I don't get it," She says as she takes a seat next to me.

"Me neither. I mean, I'm sad about Duncan, but at the same time... I thought I'd feel different. I should be a mess right now, but I'm not. I actually feel like a weight has been lifted in a weird sort of way."

"You're exhausted. That boy wasted your time, and it's about time you called him out."

"I guess you're right."

We sit for awhile, awkward and silently. The truth is, I want to tell her everything, but I'm scared. How do you know when you can trust somebody after they've broken your heart? I mean, this whole time she's had my back when it comes to Duncan... but she also used that against me.

My mom's not here, neither is my grandmother, my dad and Warner obviously don't care about me, so who do I have?

"Leshawna, I'm sorry."
