The familiar obnoxious ring tone woke me up that morning. I was still groggy when I managed to slam my hand on it and grab it like a claw like in those games in the arcades.
"Hello?" I mumbled.
"Jamie, do u know what dag it is?" My best friend Delilah asked anxiously on the other line. It sounded like I forgot something like I always did..
"Ummm Saturday?" I asked, not quite sure what was going on.
"Very funny, it's the total drama island cast auditions today HELLOO!!"
"That's today?!?!"
I shot out of bed, turing my phone's speaker on to catch the words, "They're allowing eight new teens into the competition and they're at noon, Chris is gonna be there along with some of the other teens. Including Duncan."
Of course Duncan would be there. Delilah knew that I didn't like him much. He just seemed like a huge jerk to me. So not hot and he seemed to disrespect everybody except for Courtney and Gwenn, gimme a break. I went into the bathroom and got cleaned up. I threw on my favoriete aqua blue tank top, boven and a pair of old jeans and put the speaker of the phone off. "I don't give a damn about him" I shot.
"Whatever, be at my house in five."
"Will do," I sighed and hung up. I was so much in a slightly angry haze that I didn't see the first step of the stairs. I tumbled down and landed on my back to see my brother staring at me.
"Jam?" Axel asked, "What are u doing?"
Wihtout hesitation, I replied cooly, "Testing gravity, u know the deal."Before I grabbed my jas and keys, I patted him on the should and said, "still works." Then I was out the door on my way to Delilah's. Boy, this would be a long day...

Have u felt the torture of hate?
Like a poisonous cloud, it will wait,
Until u burn in the flames of fury.
Then it will creep up and incapacitate.
Alas! u will choke, and don’t try to deny your anger.
It is too late.
Hate is like grasping a red hot coal,
Intent on throwing it at another soul,
Instead it is you, yourself, who burns,
Then your own anger shall take its toll,
You’ll bring about your every mistake and failure.
You’ll be alone.
