When Two Worlds Collide

When Two Worlds Collide 6

 Rachel's POV

"So you've got a boyfriend and now you've become too cool to hang out with us, huh?"

All three of us belonged to the cheerleading squad of our school, the Wildcats. Right now, we had just gotten over with practice and were now stripping out of our sweaty clothes. Felicia was our captain. the only thing I hated about cheerleading. The whole incident at the cafeteria the other day was never brought up again. Me and Felicia avoided each other and pretended as if it never happened. But, I have a bad feeling that it's far from over..

Oh that was Jane for you. Overdramatic, feisty Jane. She had red hair, and her body had the perfect tan. Her size didn't match her personality though, Jane was quite petite and well, small. Although, most girls our age were concerned about their heights as well as their weights, Jane wasn't. Even though she was average looking, her feisty personality tempted ALOT of guys to ask her out. And the fact that she rejected most of them, made them want her more.

Lucy was the complete opposite of Jane. She had dirty blonde hair, and big , blue eyes, which made her look extremely innocent. Except that Lucy was far from innocent. While Lucy may appear to be shy, she quite um a um... well, Lucy was a slut. It was weird, my two best friends were so different from each other, and in a way I was sort of in the middle. Not too much like Jane, not too much like Lucy, just someone who maintained the balance.

 I hated to admit it, but Jane was right. Our trio hadn't hung out since weeks and I missed them like crazy. 

"She's right you know", interjected Lucy, "We've barely seen each other this week."

'I know guys, I'm so sorry! Let's go to the mall today after school? We can get our shopping for the Winter Formal and catch up with each other too! What do you guys think?"

"I'M IN!"

"Um, I have to go somewhere after school, so can we go around 7-ish?" Lucy said. 

Jane gave her a look with her eyebrow slightly raised and said "Tsk tsk tsk Lucy. You've become awfully suspiscious these days now, haven't you?"

Lucy began shuffling her feet and looking down at them. Hmm, Jane was actually right. I wasn't the only who had drifted away, Lucy had too.

She let out a nervous laugh. "You guys are being paranoid! I'm not hiding anything."

"Really? Then why don't you just tell us about the guy you're seeing?" I said.

She was about to reply when the bell rang, signalling us to make our way towards our next class. 

"We're continuing this later." Jane ordered and then we parted our ways.

I had Art next, my favourite subject of the day. Only Jason knew, but I wanted to be an artist when I grew up. I didn't just want to sell my paintings, but I actually wanted to open my own gallery. When I was painting, it was as if nothing else mattered. 

I stopped by my locker to get my art supplies. As I opened, a pink envelope fell by my feet. It appeared to be another letter from my secret admirer. I'd been recieving these letters since a month now, and they were actually quite flattering. I hadn't told anyone about them, not even Jason. It was like my own little secret.

"If I could have all the time in the world,

I know what I would do:

I’d spend the time

In pleasure sublime,

Just by being with you.

The Winter Formal. Meet me by the water fountain at 12. I'll be waiting.."

He was finally coming forward. I don't think there's any harm in meeting him, right?

When I reached Room 101, most of the students were already seated according to their roll numbers. I made my way towards my workbench and took out my art supplies, waiting for the teacher to give us our plan for today.

"Alright guys, we're going to work outside today. I've already set up your canvases on the balcony, so you can get started right away" said Ms. Adams, our twenty- something art teacher. She'd just graduated from college and was actually pretty cool. She was the one person I could go up to and ask for advice. She was more of a friend to me than my teacher.

"I want you to paint something natural today, feel your surroundings and draw whatever comes to your mind."

I closed my eyes and immediately saw the sunset I witnessed with Jason a couple of days ago.  A small smile crept to my face and I started painting. And just like that, I was lost in my own world.

"OH MY GOD THAT DRESS LOOKS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ON YOU!"

We were standing in the middle of Forever 21 and had literally emptied all the racks in our search for the perfect dresses. You see, we didn't need one dress, we needed TWO. A full length gown for the dance itself, and another one for the after party at Andy's house.

Jane and Lucy had found both of their dresses which fitted them perfectly. Me? Nil. Nada.

So, here I was trying yet another dress and for once I was actually satisfied with what I was wearing. It was dark green in colour and was strapless. It stopped mid-thigh and wasn't too long and neither too short. The dress was made of silk, and there was a black belt around my waist. It was simple, yet sexy. 

"I'm getting this one; NOW, what am I supposed to wear at the dance?" 

"We'll go to some other store", began Lucy, "I'm sure we'll find something for you."

We paid for our dresses and were about to exit the store when a flash of purple caught my eye.

 "Hold on." 

I darted towards a rack hidden in the corner and saw a dress squeezed in between other horrendous dresses. 

"It's gorgeous." said Jane. 

 "Go try it on!"

When I got out of the changing room, Lucy actually gasped.

"Wow."

 Wow, indeed. The dress was perfect. It was floor length, and left a tiny trail beind me. It had a V-neck that showed off a little of my chest. It had silver halter straps going around my neck, crossing each other on my back and meeting the rest of my dress just above my butt. Other than that, my back was completely exposed. It hugged my curves perfectly, and didn't make me look slutty; just plain seductive. It was perfect.

You better keep yours hands off me Mr. Secret Admirer, or else my boyfriend's gonna kill you.
