PLASTIC

chapter 3

After I had dropped everyone off, and everything Michael, and i were headed home.

"drop me off here." Mike said, we were in front of his girlfriends house.

"really Mike, mom and dad are gonna be mad as soon as they find out that you're not home."

He just looked at me with that does it look like i care expression.

"plus mom, and dad said they had a suprise for us."

"fine." he said, feeling defeated.

I smirked I always got what I wanted.

"I hate my life." my brother said, I rolled my eyes, this was his usual routine.

"why would you say that, we have a perfect life, great friends, and money!"

"because I'm the..."

"mistake baby, you always say that and it's not true michael, mom and dad love you, I love you." I said  feeling a bit sympathetic, because it was true. You see, mom had michael when she was 17, and well she wasn't expecting him. For her to finish school, and everything Grandma had to take care of him, thats why he spent so much time with her. I know i always get off topic, but the point is, mom said if she could go back she wouldn't have let that happen, not that she didn't love michael. It's just that she had dreams plans, a life ahead, the love of her life left, and thats when my dad came into picture, he was the rich, and intelligent, handsome guy. You probably dont care, but this is how they met, everytime I hear this I act like I don't care but truth is I love hearing the story.

flashback (story of how, Katie's parents met.)

"Valerie, come on, you look beautiful dont'et them other girls tell you different." my best friend alice said.

"I don't know, what if hank is there.'

"don't worry about him, he may be your baby's daddy, but what does he do to help, he left you, you deserve better."

"ok, lets do this."

It was prom night, I had on my teal  dress, with silver heels. I looked over at the punch bowl, it was hank he was over there with Jessica, his new girlfriend.

"I'm thirsty." I told Alice, she just rolled her eyes not buying my lie. I walked over to the punch bowl, and grabbed a cup.

"what is she doing here?" I heard Jessica whisper to hank, I just shook it off, and ignored it.

"Look at her, dress, and shoes, did she get that at goodwill, Her hair is so frizzed out, and nappy." Jessica said, laughing, Hank was laughing too. I spun around to tell her off, but was hit in the face, with a cup of punch, my masscara began to run. Everyone was laughing, at me, I looked around in tears and ran out.

"Valerie, wait!" Alice shouted I just kept running.

I was on the side of the rode walking, barefoot, my heels broke, and it hurt to walk. A car pulled up to me, at first I was scared, but iI realized who it was, James. He was very popular, rich, smart, and cute.

"Need a ride?"

"what do you care." I said looking away.

'Look, I saw what happened back there, and I think it was totally wrong of her, I don't want a pretty lady walking by herself on these streets so please just get in." He smiled, a dazziling smile, I couldn't refuse. I smiled back, and got in, and we've been in love ever since.

flashback over

When i was done thinking about how my parents met I realized we were home.
