My Sort-Of Cinderella Story

Chapter 2

There were 5 minutes left before class was over and we would have a three-day weekend.

Those were the longest five minutes of my life.

I left my psychology classroom as soon as the bell rang and went straight to my locker to get my books out and put the stuff I didn't need inside. Alex met up with me and as soon as she got there, one of Amanda's prissy friends shoved Alex into the lockers.

"Aye, go fuck off why don't ya?" I said to the skank that was walking by laughing.

"Hey are you okay?" I asked Alex, she got slammed pretty hard.

"Yeah I'm fine."

"Don't those girls have anything else better to do? Jeez. Hey I'm gonna go drop off my brother and then I'll head to your house. Cool?"

"Yeah" said Alex rubbing her shoulder.

I left Alex and went to the parking lot where Josh was already waiting for me, playing on his phone, shocker.

"Hey, scrub, I'm going to Alex's house after I drop you off at home okay?"

"Yeah, but I'm hungry and I can't drive."

I rolled my eyes at his humor and drove to the nearest McDonalds and gave him some food.

"Happy?" I asked Josh while he was eating his fries.

"Extremely." Josh said with a huge smile on his face.

I dropped Josh off at our house and drove to Alex's. I brought my backpack with my homework and stuff so I could get it done now and not on Monday night. I rang the doorbell and Alex opened up the door, but her face was washed of any and all color.

"Shit. Alex, what happened?" I asked, widening my eyes feeling as if they were about to come out of their sockets.

All Alex could do was point to her phone screen which had a text message conversation on it which I couldn't read, because she kept shaking.

She pulled me into her house and up to her room and shut the door and screamed so loud, I'm pretty sure the entire neighborhood heard her.

I quickly out my hand over her mouth and asked her "What happened Alex?"

"Guess who just got invited to THE Ryan Adam's party tonight?!"

"Let me guess" I said sarcastically "you?"

"Hell yeah me!" Alex said plopping down on her bed with a huge grin on her face.

Ryan Adams was supposed to be one of the hottest guys in school, with his passé which consisted of the highly egotistical Spencer Matthews and the jackass Parker Reynolds. These were the super 'popular guys' at our school. They were all in our grade of course and I mean they were good looking, but I would never fall for any of them, they play with girls and that's not really my purpose.

"Hello? Earth to Max?" said Alex snapping her fingers in front of my face.

"Yeah, what?" I said.

"We're both going you know that right?" Alex said furrowing her brows.

"Yeah, definitely. I'll totally go to one of Ryan Adams' parties." I said sarcastically.

"Oh come on Max. You never ever go to parties, so why not go to the biggest one of the year to start off?" pleaded Alex.

"No Alex. You know I don't hang out with or socialize well with those type of people or anybody for that matter." I said crossing my arms over my chest.

"Please oh please. I'll even give you one of my dresses." Alex said with huge puppy dog eyes.

"Alex, even if I were to go with you, who would watch Josh? I don't have a babysitter on speed dial."

"He can stay at a friend's house or something. Please Max? If you go to this party, I will never ask you for anything else ever again, I promise."

I thought about this for a while and finally gave in.

"Fine, but you cannot leave my side and we leave together. Understood?" I said sounding like a parent.

"Yay!" Alex screamed while jumping up and down.

"Oh my god, the party starts at 8 and it's already 4. We have to start getting ready." Alex said running to her closet to pick something out to wear.

"Damn, how long does it take for you to get ready?" I mumbled under my breath. Apparently Alex heard me because she snapped her head back and looked at me.

"Look, since this is probably the only party you're going to your sophomore year and possibly all of your high school career, try looking nice please?" Alex said staring at me.

"Fine." I said giving in.

"But I am not wearing a dress" I said.

Alex looked back at me and said, "Oh yes you are."
