A love of characters | Jenna Ortega

If I can't have you no one should (pt.2)

Amber's pov:

I pull out my phone to call Liv.
-"hey what's up?"
She says as she answers.
-"I need your help"
-"with?"
She asks raising an eyebrow.
-"fashion emergency"
I say, rolling my eyes. Liv's face instantly lights up.

-"finallyy! I knew you'd come to me one day"
-"yeah yeah"
-"so what's the situation? Hot date tonight?"
She said making a smirky face. I laugh a bit.
-"no no, just hanging with Tara"
I reply feeling myself blush a bit.
-"hm Tara?"
She asks confused.
-"then why ya tryna get all dressed up?"
She asks. Shit she's got a point, as far as everyone in the group needs to know me and Tara are only friends.
-"ah! R-right well it's not for tonight I um met a guyy"

Technically I'm not lying, I have started talking to a guy, Richie. Liv's face instantly lights up again.
-"ooooh a guy?? Details!"
She asks in a singing tone.
-"oh um details? He's SUPER hot...and like REALLY sophisticated"
I say nodding my head, not even believing my own lie.
-"sweet! Our age?"
-"no, older"
I reply without thinking.
-"ooohh, a senior, I like it"
She says with a supporting wink. Huh guess that was easier than I thought.

-"yeah so help?"
I ask, jokingly begging.
-"ok well let's see whatcha have"
I smile and pull out a pile of clothes.

Tara's pov:

-"ok and that should just about do it"
Mindy says, quite pleased with the outfit she helped me pick out.
-"thanks Min, your a lifesaver"
-"it's what I'm here for"
I laugh a bit.
-"well I'll talk to ya later"
-"lemme know if y'all kissss"
She says as I hang up and I laugh. Pshh like I'd ever wanna kiss Amber.

I get in the shower and by the time I get out it's a little after 12, leaving just enough time for me to finish getting ready. Me and Mindy had picked out an army green crop top, black ripped jeans, a black jacket, and my black combat boots. I throw on "the cabin in the woods" as background noise and begin my hair and makeup.

Amber's pov:

-"thanks Liv, love ya"
-"any time, keep me updated on that guy"
I laugh a bit.
-"of course, talk to ya later"
I set my phone down and throw on the first Stab movie then get in the shower.

After finishing my shower I check the time, it's almost 12:30. I throw on the outfit me and Liv had picked then begin my hair and makeup. Me and Liv picked out a white crop top, black ripped jeans, a half pink half black jean jacket, and my old black converse high tops. By the time I'm done with everything it's 1:30 and I begin my walk to Frederick's.

Tara's pov:

After finishing my hair and makeup I check the time.
-"shit it's already 1:30!"
I say grabbing my purse and dashing out the door. Just then my phone begins ringing, it's my mom.
-"hey mom!"
I say, trying to slow my pace down a bit.
-"Tara you ok? Sounds like you were running"
-"umm no, no running around here I was just taking a stroll around the block"

I lie.
-"hmm ok. Have plans for the weekend?"
-"not really"
-"oh ok just calling to check up on you"
My mom isn't against my hanging with Amber, in fact Amber is just about the only friend of mine that my mom can actually remember who's name. I just don't feel like telling her about my plans with her today.

Ding!
I get a text from Amber. It's a pic of her holding an ice cream cone.

-"come on loser where are you? Don't make me eat your ice cream as welll"

I laugh a bit.

-"don't worry I'm almost there 😂"

-"sorry mom, gotta go!"
I say as I hang up the phone and dart around the corner where I spot Amber waiting at a table outside of Fredrick's.
