fierce and forgiving:second chances

chapter 1

Bethany's POV
beep beep
My phone stopped ringing already,
I had four missed calls already from Clarissa,
She probably called to remind me of our shopping spree,I dashed into the bathroom to freshen up,packed my hair into a messy ponytail then hurried in a frenzy,dashing downstairs and grabbed an apple,the off I went over to Clarissa's house which was next door.
Just as I was about to knock,a very angry Claire opened the door all dressed up,but I sure knew her anger wasnt gonna last long.
"Where on this God created planet have u been Missy" she said putting her hands on her waist
"I can explain" I retorted
"Yeah well you have a whole lot of explaining to do" she said grabbing me and pulling me to her car "but that will be on the way" she finished
We hopped into the car and instead of making me explain,she started chattering away about her cousins.I was so happy because I couldn't give her the lame excuse that I delayed her cos I overslept again
"Do you remember my cousins have been telling you so much about lately" she interrupted my thoughts
"Well they are coming to town in two weeks time" she squelled with excitement in her voice
I looked at her,Clarissa is a girl who is really preety she has long wavy black hair which she loved packing in a messy bun that always seemed stylishly made, she is tall with the perfect body physique. She did not take peoples opinions about her into consideration because she always told me and I quote
"I am the daughter of the king of kings (which is God) and because he loves me I am who he says i am"
God is an important aspect in her life and I envied that about her cos I feel incomplete
"We are already here" we both squelled
We are at the famous Sherwood shopping mall in Oregon, it was incredibly huge,excitement surged through our veins as we headed into the mall,we went to our favourite store which is topshop...they have the nicest things at the cheapest rate,we tried a lot of things on and practically bought all,we grabbed a bite at KFC and headed back home.
Country music was blaring from her speaker and the cool breeze soothed our skin,we hummed along to the song until her phone buzzed and interrupted our sicknening sound...for the record it was Claire's voice ruining my melody
"Claire its your phone,looks like its ur mum" I said
She picked it up "heyy mum,do you need anything?" She asked
"Are you for real,I wasn't expecting then till like two weeks,am not even prepared,am gonna need bethany's help to get ready" she hurriedly said with a spark in her eyes,she was obviously excited
"What do you need my help for" I said teasingly poking her sides
"Alright mum we are gonna be there in a jiffy" she hung up
"Remember wen I found your stash of mars in your room and I promised nt to tell anyone and u swore u owe me big time not forgetting the part that you hid such an important part of you from me?" She stated
"We promised not to talk about it" I said glaring at her
"Yea,well I need to collect in on that favour" she defended
"What do u want now blackmailer" I asked
"My cousins are arriving today and I need your help to prepare for their arrival...and I am no black mailer" she stated in a mater of fact tone
"And you couldn't just ask me,without bringing up my stash bcos??" I asked cofunsed
"Well...well...you will help me rite" she said pouting looking at me making her eyes bigger than usual
"Yes yesss just focus on the road and dnt get us killed,you know am gonna help you anyways" I said and she giggled
We pulled into her driveway And she pushed me into her cozy home...I took thvliving room and started dusting and vacuuming while Claire took the kitchen ,we did nt meet her mum so we assumed she went grocery shopping cos they did not expect them till two weeks
By the Time we were done we were both exhausted ,we went to Clarissas room which was lemon coated to clean up,when we were done we crashed into her moderately big bed
"Great job people,its a wrap" Claire said,making me giggle
"We are not making a movie scene so get over yourself, now we are even..no more favours" i said
"Don't be a kill joy,am gonna be a mega director someday"she said with enthusiasm
We heard a honk from a car and she stumbled towards her window
"They are here ...finally" she exclaimed
