Mr. Popular

Chapter 4

School finally finished, I figured that even if Liz, Ariana and Taylor ‘like’ the big three, we could still be friends, I mean, of course, I’d never let him interfere with my social life, I won’t let him. So, basically, Liz invited herself into my house just to dress me up for tonight’s party. I swear that I protested in every single way possible. She just couldn’t take no for an answer, part of the reason why she let herself in my house. I shrugged as she rummaged through my clothes. “You have nice clothes, it’s hard to choose!” She said, fiddling through hangers and drawers. Honestly, dressing up isn’t my forte but my mom always ‘dolls’ me, it’s not like I have a choice for taste of clothes. I don’t choose them. I can’t even remember the last time I set foot in a mall with an intention to buy clothes. I would go to the mall to eat. Food is another term for life.

She finally pulled something that satisfied her. It was a dress that didn’t go pass my knees. I never even wore that, I don’t even know I owned such horrifying clothing. It’s pure horror. “Hey, it’s not that bad. I bet you’ll look hot in it.” Liz commented as she threw the dress in my direction. Are all Canadians mind readers? “We can’t read minds but do British people say their thoughts out loud?” She teased. “I don’t understand why someone as beautiful as you would hate shopping or dressing up.” She said. “Well I’m definitely not going to undress in front of you.” I said, ignoring her previous statement. “Alright, tell me if you’re done.” She said and left the room. I stared blankly at the dress. Why did I even agree to coming? Oh, that’s right, my ‘friends’ begged. Well, that’s the first and last time I’ll be a part of events that include Justin. “It’s a short dress to take a lot of minutes.” I heard Liz say. “It is a short dress, too short for my liking. Can I just wear something else?” I begged. “You already forced me to come, is this further torture?” I added. “Your accent makes you more dramatic, you know.” She teased. Do people enjoy teasing me? “If you don’t wear the dress, I’m forcing it on you.” She threatened. “It’s just for one night, just give it a chance.” She said. What’s the big deal about this party anyway? Why do I have to look ‘good’? I don’t care what if I look horrendous when I walk in, I don’t want to be a bloody Barbie doll. “Horrendous, that’s an unusual word.” I heard her say. I have got to stop this habit. “Fine, I will do this but never bring it up, okay?” I said. “Yes, I promise, just hurry.” She said. I slipped the dress on and I feel so…open? It’s an unbearable and indescribable feeling. Liz walked in and stood there examining me. “Don’t say a word.” I said. “I have to! You look stunning!” She said. I sighed, there’s something about me that sighs a lot in reasonable, awfully unfair events such as this one. She pulled me out the door and pushed me inside the car. Someone’s excited.

She started the engine and drove away. “Liz, you’re going too fast. Slow down.” I said. “Okay.” She said as the car came to a halt. “Time to awe the audience.” She said as she dragged me into Justin’s lair. As we set foot next to the door. “NO, THIS WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME.” I yelled as I yanked something to keep me from getting dragged into the house. “Come on, Katy, just one night.” She said. I shrugged, I have no way out of this torture. I finally let go and entered the house with her. I can’t lie, it’s definitely huge and it’s so fancy but since this is Justin’s property, I loathe it. “Katheryn Thompson, so glad you could make it.” Justin said, with two other people with him. “Well, I didn’t introduce you to my best friends yet.” He said and gestured to the people with him. “I’m Ryan Butler.” One said. “I’m Chaz Somers.” The other said. “I don’t care.” I shot back and shook their hands. “Thank you for forcing me here, tonight will be a nightmare.” I said and walked away as far as possible. I looked back at them who seem dumbfounded. “You should try to give them a chance, Katy. I mean, what if they just really want to get to know you?” Liz asked. “Um, no, they just want me to be one of the people who worship them and I won’t let that happen.” I answered. She sighed and gave me a warm smile. “Well, enough of that. Let’s enjoy the party!” She shrieked and we made our way to a spacious part which is nowhere. There are heaps of people in this horrid place and the smell of alcohol didn’t help my state at all. I’m definitely not enjoying the party.
