Arranged Marriage

Chapter four: Welcome Back

4 YEARS LATER

"Girl wake up!! It's time for school!" Crystal cried out jumping on my bed continuously making me groan in pain.

I grabbed a pillow and threw it at her face making her fall down. "Shut up! It's damn 4 in the morning!" I cried out loud covering my face.

Crystal is my best friend only a girl version of course. I met her when I entered high school. Alone.

Ever since Jonathan told me he was leaving I had cried over a month and at one point I just stopped cause it's pointless. I also have a boyfriend now and he's the best. I met him on the last month's of 7th grade and bam here we are over three years now together.

"Leila I don't care you gotta get up or Ima tell Adrian on you!" She whined pulling my leg.

"You're so annoying Crystal!" I yelled at her.

"Thats it. I don't need Adrian to get your ass out of bed. Leila if you don't get up I swear I'm bringing a bucket of cold water!" She threatened me which shot me out of bed.

"I'm up! I'm up! It's already freezing outside!" I mumbled picking out some black jeggings. It looks like leggings but they are actually jeans. Basically two layers.

"I know. And let me check your calendar. Dude, oh my god, you can't be serious. Are you really still marking that one guys birthday that you told me about?!" She yelled at me pointing on a day on the calender I had on my wall.

"Um yes? Why?" I snapped.

"Well cause today is his birthday." She sang making me run over to her side.

I checked the date and it was true. Today's November 23.

He's 17 now.

There was an awkward silence only I could hear my steady heartbeat. "I bet he got ugly." Crystal said out of the blue.

"Crystal! Shut up and get ready!" I said smacking her hand.

I walked over to be cabinet and pulled out a white tank top and then a black off the shoulder half way sweater. I know it's cold out but it gets hot later. It's like the damn weather is bipolar or some shit. I grabbed my clothes and walked into the bathroom and changed and washed my mouth in the meantime as well.

I walked out and grabbed my black high top converse and slipped them on. "You ready to eat?" Crystal said going down stairs already changed.

"Yes." I muttered and walked down stairs.

I jumped down on the last step and turned to look in the mirror we had. I examined my body was happy with the progress I done the last four years. I lost all my baby fat and have nice curves on all the right places. When I hit puberty I thought it would go bad on me but I turned out pretty good. My friends call me flawless cause I never got a pimple or anything and my skin was always smooth and soft. Some even think I look like a model which always makes me laugh.

Turning on my heel I went inside the kitchen finding Crystal eating my hashbrown.

"Hey that's my damn hashbrown!!" I yelled walking over to her.

"Sorry. Get another one." She said stuffing it in her mouth.

I opened the fridge and groaned, "That was the last one!" I whined receiving a smack on my head.

"Excuse me but I don't think you should eat those you always complain that you might get fat again even though you never were." Crystal said placing her hands on her hips.
