Obsidious H.S.

chapter one

Alexis' POV

Three months earlier...

It was the first sunny weekend in May. Its been piss raining all month but the sun finally decided to make an appearance.

"Come on it's going to be so much fun!" Bailey pleaded.

"You know I don't like going to these sorts of things." I tell her "Besides, it's just going to be a bunch of drunk college kids messing around."

Bailey and I sit across from each other on a plush couch in her small studio apartment. Bailey has always enjoyed the little things in life so even though she's a big shot actress she chooses to spend her money on things she finds more important. From the 17 years I've known her, she never takes anything for granted and always stays humble. It's one of the things I admire about her.

"Please Lex," She whines "We haven't done anything fun together in awhile, this is the perfect opportunity, and you never know maybe you'll even meet someone..." She says in a taunting voice, nudging my shoulder.

I let out a sigh in defeat, releasing she isn't going to budge and she would drag me there if she had to.

"Fine, maybe it will be fun after all"

"That's my girl!" Bailey squeals in excitement "We better start getting ready."

"Already? The carnival doesn't start for another three hours." I complain

"I know but we need to get you all dolled up, just in case there are any potential love interests there." she giggles.

She's treating me like I'm a teenage girl getting ready for a school dance. I don't argue, I simply let her drag me around and dress me like a rag doll. I would never admit it, but a small part of me is excited to go to the carnival. Aside from all of the rusty rides, minutes from breaking and the greasy food that makes me feel nauseous, it can actually be a pretty fun experience. Maybe I'll actually find myself enjoying it.

Bailey has dressed me in a pair of baggy purple carpenter pants paired with a tight white cami and a large beige zip up. She is wearing a plaid green/blue tennis skirt, black tube top, a sleek black blazer and chunky boots.

Next, she pulls me into her bathroom to do our makeup and hair. I've never been super good at this kind of thing like she is, but luckily growing up together she's always been there to lend me a hand.

I put on my playlist titled "the winged liner is even" and S&M by Rhianna starts playing. Bailey and I blast the music as she does our makeup and we sing along at the top of our lungs.

"'Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it" she starts confidently

"Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it" I add on while giggling slightly

"Sticks and stones may break my bones" I continue

"But chains and whips excite me" she joins me for the last line

"Bay?" I ask as we continue our makeup with the song playing very loudly in the background.

"Yes Lex?" She responds kind of confused

"Do chains and whips excite you?" I try to keep a straight face. But then she starts bursting out in laughter. Her laugh is so loud and contagious that I can't keep my straight face and laugh with the same energy as her.

Once our faces look like we've gotten attacked by a glitter bomb with sparlkles lining my eyelids and glitter scattered across Bailey's cheekbones, she adds some loose curls into my hair and puts her own into a high ponytail. Just like that we're ready to go.
