two trouble makers

Chapter 8 - "Fashionably late"

I was the bad girl of Pymble Yates and because of my reputation I was pretty well known in my town however it wasn't just my reputation that made my family well known. My family pretty much owns most of our town and my dad pretty much runs our state. My mum is a well-known cook and she has her own shows, books even her own line of restaurants around the country; Little miss.

You think our family's perfect?

Well you're really wrong there because our family is as messed up as any family can possibly get. I have an older brother currently in college and he is honestly the closest thing to family I have. Well we aren't blood related but he was still family to me.

He used to go to the high school I go now and will soon be graduating from. He was the captain of the football team and was really popular. He was like my rock, my one person that I knew would always be there for me. He was always there to support me when I was put down at school but after he left I realised I had to look after myself.

He was somewhat overprotective of me which is why I didn't get bullied while he was with me. Even guys were too scared of his wrath to come up to me. I truly loved him and he really cared about me but ever since he went to collage he was only able to visit a few times a month if I was lucky. I really missed him which might also be why I was such a trouble maker. Not having my rock with me was very bothering and stressful.

I didn't get my bad girl reputation just because I did bad stuff literally. I just learnt to stand up for myself and not let anything really get to me or bother me.

After you get a rep. for a bad girl you kind of don't let anything bother you which is why I might have broken a few rules or laws since then. A laid back attitude with a boost of confidence kind of lets you get away with anything.

All the possibly bad things in life that could happen, happened all at once in my life.

It was a wakeup call.

Telling me to wake up.

**********

Ana had pretty much dragged me into every single shop at the mall. I mean don't get me wrong. I loved shopping and fashion which is maybe why I wanted to be a fashion designer or a model when I was older. Haha I know in my dreams. But I was still young enough to dream I didn't let it bother me. I was turning 18 in three months, still plenty of time.

My mum had given me her credit card before I left because she and dad were leaving to New York for a few weeks apparently they had an important conference there or something. But I didn't really care. It's like my parents thought that money could cover for love. They thought that money could compensate for all those times they had left me alone and scared.

But hey I might as well make the most of it.

The guys trudged behind us slowly. I knew they weren't exactly having fun but they had all picked out a few things from H&M so I wasn't complaining.

Ana had picked out a few clothes for me and they looked really cute when she was holding them but when she handed them to me I realised they consisted of mostly pink and white. I did see a piece of black fabric in there though.

"Are you kidding me?" I raised an eyebrow at her. She couldn't be serious. Didn't she know my wardrobe was all black?

"Tess you seriously need to stop wearing black. Like get some colour into your life," she dumped the clothes she had picked out for herself in front of the change rooms. 

"Ana noo, I am not wearing pink ok?"

"Pleaseee," she pleading giving me her cute puppy dog eyes. I really couldn't say no.
