Lena's Love

Rock Concert

These past two weeks have slowly crept by like an injured hero stretching for the button to save humanity.

Tiger and Noah are the cutest couple, and they aren't overly touchy in public as Tiger disagrees with PDA, but they are always looking at each other with love-stricken faces. People have finally stopped throwing them dirty looks and coming up to Maisie with false-sympathy, just trying to find out the latest gossip.

Tiger and Noah must be the most attractive couple in our school, with juxtaposing looks that are equally beautiful. Noah is over 6 foot with marble-white skin and dark auburn hair that always looks windswept and fluffy. He doesn't have much meat on his bones, but his body is toned and as defined as his sharp jaw. His sweet demeanour and 24/7 positivity means he is just as attractive on the inside, and Tiger has found a real gem. Tiger is a dark-skinned Queen, with model long legs and always has a regal 'I'm better then you' look on her face, but she doesn't mean it – she just has a resting bitch face. She shaved all her hair off in the summer and is now letting it grow out to its usual black curliness, and while she is waiting for the awkward fuzzy stage to grow out she has got a short black wig with tight curls and red dip dye at the ends.

I haven't seen Tiger much as she has been with Noah quite a lot, which is understandable as they are in the fresh honey-moon stage of their relationship, and want to get to know each other without the distraction and teasing of their friends.

Speaking of friends, Maisie and Tiger are still close, but I feel as though there is a Noah-shaped barrier between them, which is stopping them from slipping back into their old close-as-sisters relationship. I have been dividing my time between them, acting like the middle man when the conversation runs dry and only awkward silence is left. I just hope this period of awkwardness is over with soon. Maisie has been relying on and clinging to JD which isn't necessarily fair to him but he does it willingly, acting like her best friend and boyfriend. I'm not sure how things are going to end there. JD is either creating a good rapport for himself or burying deeper into the friend-zone. I think Maisie does like him but she hasn't accepted it yet. Her response when I ask about him is they are just close friends and she is working on herself, which is the mature thing to do.

I can't help but feel a little closer to Tiger though. Maisie isn't telling me much lately, probably because she thinks I will tell Tiger, even though I wouldn't do that to either of the girls. I hate drama and backstabbing. I still haven't forgiven Becky Porter from the fifth grade for telling Simon Cotton that I liked him. I can tell Tiger is saddened by their strained relationship, but she has never said anything about Maisie's distancing. She feels terrible but Noah makes her happy.

Tonight I am going to try and forget all of my friend drama as it's the Foo Fighters gig Ajax is taking me too! I have been so excited and nervous all week, and a strange emotion keeps twisting my insides every time it pops into my brain. Ajax is missing his own gig to come tonight so I really hope it's worth it. My mom screamed when I told her, and thought it was a date. Of course it isn't though. Right?

Although she's disappointed that Ajax and I aren't a couple, she insisted on finding me a 'hot' outfit to wear. Usually I wouldn't bother, but there is something about tonight that makes me want to put a bit of effort in. Our families have grown rather close, which is good considering we are neighbours. I think Tamiko and my mom have already started planning our wedding, especially after the fake one Tammy just loves to bring up. I'm not really sure who our other neighbour is, but the curtains are always drawn and there is a lingering smell of weed attacking your senses when you walk past.

We decided on black skinny jeans, a white crop top and leather jacket, which I can leave in Ajax's car if I decide I am going to be too hot with all the wild jumping we are inevitably going to be doing. My mom wanted me to go with a backless top, but I managed to persuade her not too as I don't want my nipples popping out to say hello and draw to the fact I don't have much in the chestal region. At least my hips and bum prove that I am not a twelve year old child. I used an extra strong makeup setting spray which strangely smelt like hairspray to make my makeup stay all night, or at least that's what it promises. After watching a couple of tutorials I have applied some smoky liner to accentuate my chestnut eyes and outlined my lips to make them appear larger.
