Chapter 2

 

     "Tara wake up. Come on wake up!"  "What do you want! Leave me alone before I get my lama to eat your faces off." I heard laughing then a person telling another person to shut up. Deciding that my sleep was ruined I opened my eyes. "AHHHHHH!" Cindy, Jay, Ever, Riley, and Xander all burst out laughing. The idiots decided to stick their faces above mine while making faces. "Y-y-your face w-was priceless." coughed Jay. "Here you go." Riley threw a pair of ripped skinny jeans at me. "Why can't I wear my own clothes."  I whined. "Because your style is as bad as my granny's and you have a guy to impress. Hun the way your dressing won't impress anyone." She said as she laid a hand on my shoulder. "Hey she impressed me when I saw her. Don't I count for anything?" Xander whined. "Nope." She said popping the p. "Hey not nice." he said. I sighed. "Riley is there a shirt I can wear or am I going around topless all day?" I asked. "That's not a bad idea." Jay said. "Stop perving on Tara.Here I brought you a top." Cindy said as she threw a top at me. I nodded towards her and wandered towards my bathroom. I pulled on the pants. They were snug. I then took the time to examine the top. It was a simple black shirt that looked like it hung off the shoulders a little. The front  had a silver rose that went from the left side of my chest to my right hip. The back was almost all floral lace. I threw it on and walked out the door. "We need to do your hair and make-up now!" called Cindy. ''What do we get to do?" Xander asked. Riley turned around. "You two get to wait out in the other room until we are done." she said. "Awwwww why? I want to stay here and watch the transformation." he said. "Thanks Xander." I mumbled. "Leave. NOW!" the boys left the room grumbling about how touchy girls are or something like that. Cindy's voice pulled me out of my thoughts. "Now. What are we going to do to tame this curly mess?" Riley asked. "Can we put on some music or something?" I asked. Cindy nodded and walked to my stereo. Riley snapped her fingers and turned on her straightener. Cindy pulled out a box and began on my make up. When she finished the straightener was ready. She parted my hair and began to tame my curls. "WE WILL NOT LET YOU GO! LET ME GO! WILL NOT LET YOU GO! LET ME GO! WILL NOT LET YOU GO! OH LET ME GO GO GOOO! OH MAMA MIA MAMA MI MAMA MIA LET MET GO! BEELZEBUB HAS THE DEVIL PUT ASIDE FOR ME! FOR ME! FOR MEEEE!" I sang off key for a reason. "Hey stop moving." Riley said as she swatted me across my back. "Well the hurry up then before my tummy goes all dinsaur again and I have to sing to cover it up." I said. She just huffed at my comment. About 5 minutes later my feet and legs started to fall asleep. I tried to keep still so I wasn't attacked by the pins and needles. I was too late. "Ahhhhhh pins and needles! Pins and needles!" I jerked up wards. Not a good idea. The hot iron bumped against my ear. "Shoot! Tara you need to stop moving. Cindy please get something cold to put on her burn." Riley ordered. Cindy nodded and left. When she shut the door my favorite song of all times came on. "OH WELL IMAGINE AS I'M PACING THE PEWS IN A CHURCH CORRIDOR AND I CAN'T HELP BUT TO HEAR, NO I CAN'T HEAR AN EXCHANGING OF WORDS. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING SAID A BRIDE'S MAID TO A WAITER. AND YES BUT WHAT A SHAME, WHAT A SHAME THE POOR GROOM'S BRIDE IS A horse." I sang again off key. Cindy came back in and gave me a ice pack. "A horse? You know the word is a w..."  "Yes I know what it is. I just don't like saying it." I cut Cindy off. " I CHIMED IN WITH A HAVEN'T YOU PEOPLE EVER HEARD OF CLOSING THE GOSH DANG DOOR. NO. IT'S MUCH BETTER TO FACE THESE KIND OF THINGS WITH A SENSE OF POISE AND RATIONALITY."  I heard Xander yell. Riley  busted out laughing. "Don't like Panic! at the Disco he says." she choked out. My eye started to twitch. "RILEY! Hurry up my eye is twitching. I need food stat!" She gained he composure and finished straightening my hair. "Finally." Just to tick her off a bit I started to head bang. "Stop it!" she huffed and smacked my head. Cindy sighed and turned off my stereo. I rushed out the door and towards the boys. Jay whistled. "Dang you look smokin'." he exclaimed. Xander hit him. "Dude stop perving on her." he said. " I was not perving on her. I was simply stating the obvious." Jay said defending himself. Xander shrugged. "Can I get food now?" I asked. Riley rolled her eyes. I took that as a yes and ran out the room. I slowed when I got outside. The group soon joined me. I looked across the field. "Who are they?" I pointed towards a group of strange looking students. "Oh they are wolves going to their domitory so they can hit the hay." Jay said. I shrugged and started to skip towards the dining hall. I stopped by the door to wait for the slow pokes. "Come on. I'm hungry." I whined. They soon met up with me and we walked into the room. Ever was voted to go save our table. I happily ran..errr I mean skipped to the line. There was pancakes, waffles, bacon, sausage, and cinnamon buns. "I think I am in heaven." I mumbled to myself. A person behind me laughed. I turned around to see Xander laughing at me still.
