Lip gloss

Chapter 36

Put your makeup on
Get your nails done, curl your hair
Run the extra mile, keep it slim
So they like you, do they like you?

Get your sexy on
Don't be shy, Girl, take it off
This is what you want, to belong
So they like you, do you like you?

You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to, give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don't have to change a single thing

You don't have to try-try-try, try-y-y
You don't have to try-try-try, try-y-y
You don't have to try-try-try, try-y-y
You don't have to try, yo-o-ou don't have to try

MMM-MMM-MMM

Get your shopping on
At the mall, max your credit cards
You don't have to choose, buy it all
So they like you, do they like you?

Wait a second
Why should you care what they think of you?
When you're all alone, by yourself
Do you like you? Do you like you?

You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to, give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don't have to change a single thing

You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to, bend until you break
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don't have to change a single thing

You don't have to try-try-try, try-y-y
You don't have to try-try-try, try-y-y
You don't have to try-try-try, try-y-y
You don't have to try

You don't have to try-try-try, try-y-y
You don't have to try-try-try, try-y-y
You don't have to try-try-try, try-y-y
You don't have to try, yo-o-ou don't have to try

No-Oh-Oh-Oh
MMM-MMM-MMM

You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to, give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don't have to change a single thing

You don't have to try-try-try, try-y-y
You don't have to try-try-try, try-y-y
You don't have to try, you don't have to try

Take your makeup off
Let your hair down, take a breath
Look into the mirror, at yourself
Don't you like you? 'Cause I like you

I wake up and rumble out of bed in my girl boxer shorts and over sized nirvana t shirt, today was my birthday, yay! My phone was already filled up with a few notifications of kiss-asses who wanted to be the first to wish me a happy birthday, oh well, I love them for remembering!

I decorated my face in the regular makeup and pulled on my favorite whit lace dress and white lace shoes, trying to show off my "beginning the summer" tan. I headed downstairs where Ricky and his friends were hanging out and I grab a peach flavored Snapple from the fridge.

His friend Oliver whistles and I shoot him a smile, as I pop open the cap of my drink. Then the song, "I don't fuck with you." Comes on the radio and Ricky begins laughing.

"Damn Oliver, it's like Gods even telling you to step off." He chuckles, making me laugh too, his laugh is so contagious. I grab my keys off the table and sunglasses, heading to the door.

"Hey Ricky, mind calling me in like, an hour so I don't lose track of time?" I ask looking back at him, sunglasses perched on top of my head.

"Yeah I will, happy birthday by the way." He says and my smile grows.

"Thanks," I say as everyone else says it and I leave the house, excited to go over to Tracy's.

When I arrive there, she's already sitting on her front porch. She runs over to me squealing, and we hug. "I'm so happy your here! Happy birthday!" She scream ecstatically and I chuckle thanking her.

We both decide on going to the lake since it's such a nice day out and the temperatures a clear 80, which is really nice for California. "Are you and Mathew even talking anymore?" She asks out of a comfortable silence. I look down at my hands and shake my head.
