Lottie hated boys. She hated the way they were so self entitled. She hated the way they could get away with anything. And most of all she hated her brothers best friends, Alex.
Alex hated girls who were stuck in their books. He hated the way they ha...

After yesterday, I realized how fun Alex actually was to hang out with.I always just thought of him as my brothers annoying friends but maybe I can see him as my annoying friend.
I'm going crazy, it's probably because it's a weekend. Josh and Alex went somewhere early this morning and my moms at work so I decided I would hang out with Betty.
"Hey Betty!!" I screamed into the phone.
"Oh my gosh you nearly gave me a heart attack" she breathed on the other side of the phone "what up?" She asked.
"I got some events to spill-" before I could finish my sentence she screamed into the phone "TELL ME TELL ME!" this girl will be the death of me.
"I was saying if you wanted to go hang out, go shopping at a mall, a bookstore" I started listing out places to go.
"You don't have to ask me twice, I'll pick you up in 30 minutes, also can I sleep over tonight?" She sounded off on the last bit but I agreed. I don't have to ask my mom things like this because she gets home late and she doesn't care at all.
It was kinda hot today and we were gonna be walking around so I decided to wear green sweat shorts, and a black tank top, paired with my black converse, and I put my hair in a claw clip.

I walked into the other guest bedroom and started tidying it up a bit, smelling the sheets to make sure they were washed and I organized my room more. Betty texted me and told me she was here.
I rush down the stairs and make sure I lock the door when I'm out of the house. I walk up to Betty's small Ford Escape that I'm sure she took from her mom since she rides the bus to school.
It smelt like new car.
"Did you just get this?" I ask. She grinned up at me, a proud smile showing her dimples on either side of her mouth. Cute.
"YES!" she shouted in excitement! "I can drive you to and from school everyday so you don't have to take the bus home almost everyday." Thank goodness, I hated the bus and I hated how my brother had his football practice so he could only take me home every once in a while.
"And.. we can play Taylor swift as loud as we want" I comment. She smiled in excitement.
"I Bet You Think About Me" started blasting through the speakers as we rode off to Barnes and Noble.
"I BET YOU THINK ABOUT ME, WHEN YOU SAY OH MY GOSH, SHES INSANE, SHE WROTE A SONG ABOUT ME" I feel happy for once. I found someone who I actually enjoyed my time with.

When we parked in front of Barnes and Noble, "It's Nice To Have a Friend" was playing gently in the background opposed to our loud conversation.
"Oh yea I almost forgot to tell you" Betty paused, about to unbuckle her seatbelt. She immediately got situated and faced her whole body towards me. "Spill" she said.
I told her all about yesterday with Alex. Her grin couldn't get any wider as I explained in great detail, when I think we almost kissed. "I ship" she commented, it only made me blush even more. "I just wish he wasn't such a player" I sigh "but I won't let him ruin our girls day!"

When we got back we both had bags and bags full of books, clothes, skin products, hair products, and more. All of that money I saved for back to school shopping was worth it. I spent all summer working, I did maximum hours just so I could go on a shopping spree. Betty parked in the driveway, Alex and Josh were yet to show up.
"Let's do a fashion show" Betty suggested and I nodded eagerly.
After watching Betty try on millions of jeans and shirts, and a singular dress, it was finally my turn.
I had a ton of biker shorts and sweat shorts of all kind. I had at least 5 pairs of jeans and a new collection of crop tops and baggy shirts, I even got a pair of forest green converse. Me and her both got one dress, hoping to be invited to a party.
Betty got a tight black dress with a slit, it had no sleeves and it was super short. My mom would never let me wear that so I got a dark green one with spaghetti straps

Betty's dress.
I took off my shirt and put on a black sports bra with my green sweat shorts and Betty stole a pair of my gray sweat shorts to match her black baggy shirt. It was so hot, I had no clue why, last week was chilly.
The heat was giving me whiplash. I was kneeling by my bookshelf, opposite of the door, putting my books away while Betty organized her stuff when the door swung open.
I turned around still kneeling on the floor and saw Alex wearing just a pair of joggers. His eyes searched my body and that's when I noticed I was only wearing a sports bra. I cross my arms protectively over my chest. "Yes?" I question him.
"We're going to this party tonight, you two are invited." He points between us. "It's some really rich dude so try and dress fancy, we are leaving at 9" he gives me one last glance, bites his lip and walks out the door.
I smirk over at Betty.
Party time.
