My Heart's Desire

Chapter 5 Best Friend Gone Mad

          I woke up for school not hesitating for a second to get out of bed and get dressed. Today I dressed myself up with the help of my amazing sister Dallas. I let her do my hair and makup like always and I put on a dress for once. It was a white sundress that came midway between to short and above my knees. I had only worn this dress once but that was over the summer. It was pretty though and I thought it was a good day to wear it.

        "Got a hot date or something sis?" Dallas smiled and gave me the look like yeah you can't fool me, I know it's for Allen.

        "I uh... I just felt like dressing up today... nothing to it." Such a lie coming from my mouth. Heck I never thought I could lie until just then. Wow it wasn't hard at all but she knew better than to believe it.

        "Girl you know damn well that you are dressing up to impress your lover boy." She was trying her best to hold in her laugh but she failed terribly. I sent her a glare and couldn't help but blush.

       "Shut up Dallas , he's not my boyfriend or anything. What's the harm in wanting to dress up every once in a while?" I asked trying to defend myself and trying not to let myself blush at the word boyfriend that came out of my mouth. I only wish Allen was my boyfriend. Oh my god I can't believe I just let myself think that in my head!

       "Come on Carrie, you can't fool me... I see the way you look at him and act around him. You are obviously crushing over him." As much as I wanted to think of a come back on that I couldn't. I guess she was right. I mean I guess you would consider the feelings I get every time he's around me having a crush on him. But how should I know? I've never felt this way about a guy before.

       I just looked at her with an evil eye with a look that said 'I hate when you're right' written all over it. I looked at my phone to see that Kasha had sent me a text saying she was going to pick me up this morning and to tell jerk off (Damon), Jake and Dallas that they could go without me. So I told Dallas and she shook her head and went down stairs to tell our brothers.

        I felt different today and I didn't really understand why. I mean I felt as if my whole body was completely different. All signs pointing to me anxiously wanting to go to school today when other wise I would dispise it with a passion. What is wrong with me? Maybe I'm getting to ahead of myself here. I am so lame to even be doing this over a guy I just met yesturday. I think I'm going to change. This is rediculous. But before I could change I heard dad call up to me from down stairs,

      "Carrie! Kasha's here!"

   Oh great now I'm going to be stuck like this all day looking like a girly girl. I grabbed my bag with my books and homework and grabbed my jacket and ran out of my bedroom door and down the stairs. I entered the kitchen seeing mom and dad kiss each other as I walked in. Really? I mean they have a room upstairs.

      "Ew... Come on!" I said not really wanting to see them making out in the kitchen. They looked at me and they both gave me a once over.

      "Wow honey.. You look... well.. different but pretty." Dad said in shock to see that I was actually wearing a dress to school today.

     "Thanks dad but I really got to go or I'm going to be late." I said in a rush giving them both a kiss on the cheek and ran out before they could read me like a book and suspect anything. I jumped into Kasha's car only to hear her singing along to the song Eye of the Tiger. What the hell? I turned the radio down and she looked at me with a silly evil look. "What the hell did you do that for? I was getting into that." She said with hand motions.

    "If you're going to jam out to something, at least pick something cool to listen to." I said with a slight giggle. "You have no taste if you were listening to Eye of the Tiger." I said playfully.
