How To Get A Guy In 20 Days....

Day 2: How NOT to get noticed..

Day 2:

Second day since 'transformation' has been... what's the word: different. 'The Queen Bs' are finally leaving me alone I saw one of them resist the urge to throw a slushy at me so bad the cup broke under her manicured fingers, then she started to panic over her ruined French manicure. You would think they had better stuff to worry about but nope its all about their hot faces and 'bods'.

Oscar managed to get me an invite to Adrian's party since his parents have gone away for the week he's inviting everyone and back when I was a nobody I would never have dreamed of this, but now its possible for anything to happen so it seems. If I was to go and I haven't decided yet I'm definitely taking Meghan she'll love to make fun of 'The Faces' even if they have long tanned legs that stretch for miles so it makes it so easy to trip me up and get the greatest gossip scoop.

I'm staring at the mirror staring at myself but not quiet feeling myself these past few days. I shrug on a pair of torn skinnies and a t-shirt draping the curtains over the full-length mirrors in my walk in closet (I've always have them covered because I couldn't face myself) old habits die-hard.

I slid down the stairs and hear rowdy shouting coming from the game room, no doubt was Oscar watching football as always. You'd think it was enough being the captain of the football team but watching a couple of guys kicking a ball really does complete his day as a sad brother.

'Oscar!' I called using the tone that he hates. But he wasn't alone and it never occurred to him to go: 'hey sis I'm having like the whole football team over tomorrow so don't go in the game room.'

'What's up sis?' He smiled toothily the same smile he uses to charm girls.

I stood there in a room full of his friends all scattered around the pool table, arcade games, and the huge brown leather couch in the centre facing the cinema screen. I tried to say something with all those eyes just staring at me, a hot flush was creeping up my cheeks yet still nothing!
So I rushed out of that room and stuck my head in the fridge to cool down my sudden rise in body heat.
Good going Ava, a room full of future Abercrombie models and you turn into a strawberry!

'Umm...hi.' I immediately ducked out grabbing whatever my hand found which happened to be a cucumber. I swear I could of died of embarrassment right there.
It was Josh Marcus. He was talking to me?! 'Hi' I breathed. Picturing our future together in those few short seconds then snapping out of it, 'I'll get that for you.' I stuttered taking the popcorn or crisps bowl off him, some host Oscar was. ''Thanks.' He ran his fingers through his dark silky hair. 'Oscar really worked his magic with you.'

That's one way to put it. Here I was talking to one of the models and Adrian's best friend and all I could do was flush.

'Yeah a real change.' I emptied the popcorn into the bowl.

'You don't seem too happy about it.' He leaned on the counter. Busted.

'Of course I am, here.' I pushed the bowl to him afraid to make any contact and brushed past him.

'Wait up.' I turned around reluctantly. 'There's a party at Adrian's tomorrow night you should come.'

'Oscar mentioned it. To be honest it's not really my kind of thing.' I backed up towards the stairs glancing at the direction of the cheers every five minutes.

'Just consider it.' And he winked at ME! Josh Marcus actually winked at me. My stomach was doing this little dance and my heart going super fast, 'Oh and what were you planning on doing with that cucumber?' My mouth gaped but he didn't wait for an answer and jogged off luckily.

After a while of standing by the stairs digesting everything that happened I launched into my closet grabbing a jacket and rushed over to Meghan's in record time.

She opened the door on the second ring.' Hey Thought we were meeting at your place?'

'Yeah well change of plans since Oscar decided to invite all his entourage over.' I plunked myself on her messy bed, the cotton white sheets creasing around me and the red rug flat under my converses. Her identical posters of Muse and F.O.B stuck above her bed same as mine but she painted her walls blue. I fiddled with the tassels of her bed rug breathing in the scent of candles and mustiness.

'We could of still hung out in your room.' She said matter of factly.

'What so I could let you perv on my brother? Not a chance.' She blushed. 'But there is something you could do to make up for the fact that you're crushing on him... there's this party tomorrow night at Adrian's you want to go?' She gaped at me, 'The Adrian Cooper the one you've been crushing on since forever? Is Oscar going to be there? How did you get invited?'

'Yes,yes and Oscar got me an invite I'm only going if your are so?' I wasn't sure if I should of told her about Josh Marcus inviting me too so I decided to play it safe hoping she didn't notice.

She strolled over to her closet trying to keep a straight face and I knew she hated this kind of social gathering so I was half expecting her to say no, not that I minded. ' Count me in, you owe me big time.'

So I guess I was going to be attending this party

CRAP!!
