CHAPTER-2: AFTER PARTY
I wanted to wear normal tee and jeans but as I had Leah and lacey, I was wearing a beige knee length off shoulder dress with dark eye make-up and light touches of foundation and lipstick. Everyone was dressed fancy; technically everyone wore the outfits from my closet which I could say was theirs because I’d want them to feel free to get anything from me.
Alice was wearing a yellow sundress with red hair band and red heels, while Leah was wearing a black tight one-piece which she totally rocked and lacey, to me she looked the most hot- a royal blue skirt with a tight black top and silver platforms.
I had my wavy brown hair left hanging and my bangs also; the shoulder length hair was flowing, okay!
As we entered the pool area, I was looking forward to see Ryan, the boy I mentioned before. But I knew nothing was supposed to happen between us. I turned around to find Brooke to wish her, the view I saw was heart breaking- Ryan and Brooke flirting with each other, I always knew she’d get him at some point! That was it to break me totally, what was I supposed to do? I exited the party and I got home, changing into pajamas I cried in my pillow.
“Sara? Honey? Are you crying?” she literally looked concerned for a moment to me, well considering her super model status, she wasn’t there for me at all, she was always out having fun or doing shoots. She never had time for me and now I wanted her the hell out of my life but as I couldn’t deny it I cared for her, I loved her and I always had the urge to go and tell her things about me, my friends, cute boys.
“I guess.” I said while getting my head up in her direction. I believe she could see it from my eyes and well, she could hear me sobbing.
“What happened? “she said as she sat across from me on the bed and had a look of concern on her face which softened me from the inside as I grew fond of this expression on her perfect face, she cared for me, I knew it but I never wanted to get more used to it because I always had a feeling that she’d just not be there when I need her, she’d be doing her ‘work’.
“Nothing.” I said, I cupped my face in my hands and let out a blow in my hanky.
“Oh come on! I’ve been through this age, is it a boy or you didn’t get asked out on the weekend every friend of yours was?”
“A boy?” I said in a confused state.
“Ah……….. What’s his name and what exactly happened?”
“Why do you care?” I snapped at her and got out of the bed fixing my hair.
“Oh, Sara, I’m your mom, why wouldn’t I care? Now tell me, maybe I could help?” she opened her arms and I buried my head into her chest, she was tall- a 5’8.
“I like this guy Ryan, I went to Brooke’s party and I saw him flirting with her! Mom, I really like him.” I said through little sobs.
“Oh honey Ryan Lambert? Our neighbor? if he’s worth the risk then go ask him out and open up your heart in front of him, if he accepts it then he’s a catch if not, then he’s a jerk and you have your whole life in front of you, enjoy it.”
“Mom, I’m a nerd technically and he’s a jock! I can’t ask him out! I am an unnoticeable person!”
“What?” she looked blown away, “My daughter! Sara Harper? A nerd at high school?”no way baby, tomorrow onwards, wait and watch- you’ll be the gossip and the name on every guy’s mouth!”
Wh…..wh………….wh…………….wh…………what? Excuse me? I’m here people! Sometimes it’s good to take my opinion on the subject of my life!
Mom dressed me up in these little shots and this top which shows barely any cloth, the morning went like this-
“Good morning me.” I wished myself. I got up from a very nice and long sleep, when my alarm hit. I could smell the morning air and I could feel the sun shining through the window on my face and I could hear the birds chirping………………………………
Reverse! I could smell brand new perfume which made my nose itch a little, I could feel the invasion of this peaceful morning, I could hear my mom going through my wardrobe and blabbing something to herself.
~end of flashback~
In case you’re wondering how the detention went, then it was okay. Not so bad, at all.
“Sara? What’s with the yummy makeover today?” Alice said while eyeing me from head to toe, great, now I seem like a total weirdo.
I lifted my sunglasses up and said, “Could we go in please? I’m so not explaining this!” I grabbed Leah’s arm and Alice came behind her, I saw everyone was looking at us, erhm- me.
“Hey Sara! How’re you doing?” asked Dylan, the guy who is also a member of our so called ‘jocks and the cheerleaders group’ I hope you could see me rolling my eyes.
“Hi Dylan, I’m fine.” I SAID CALMLY! How? A jock was asking me how I was. Good start Penelope Cruz!
“So, you look good, “he said while still relaxing and setting his hair in front of me.
Oh motherfu***r! Brain stahp!
“Thanks! You too.” you too? What am i? Martian?
“Ha, well I guess I’ll see you around then.” He said not waiting for my response and taking off from the stop Sara’s day dreaming palace.
“Let’s try not freaking out in the middle of hallway.” I whispered to Leah and Alice, I could see they were going to explode.
