Perfection

Chapter 1

Hi, the image above this is to give you an idea of what Gwen looks like.

No matter how nice you are to people they can change their minds about you in an instant just by what you're wearing.

"Shit, Gwen, are you a magician? cause abraca- Dayum, girl." I roll my eyes and turn to see who it is even though I have an idea. Mason. I bite my tongue to keep from yelling at him. Instead, I say the first thing that comes to me. "Yeah, I am a magician, now watch me disappear..."

Really, Gwen, that's it?! Oh well, could be worse.

I walk towards my locker and feel Mason wrap his arm around my waist.

" Why'd You dye your hair again? What's the point, it was already brown. Just darker."

I feel people turning their heads occasionally to see what's going on, just not enough that they think Mason and I will notice.

"Honestly Mason?" I ask him as I turn around. "I've told you before, I'm not interested and my hair is none of your concern, I dyed it cause I wanted to, I got contacts cause I wanted to, so just back off."

"oh come on, dump Chance, you can have all this," he says as he pushes his hair back.

Honestly, are you trying to look more like a total fuckboy?

"I'm fine" I reply. "Besides Chance can actually play without being benched!" He snickers as he puts both his hands on my waist and kisses me. The entire hallway goes quiet as people start to stare, forgetting to be polite. That's what happens when the most popular people in school do things, good or bad. People watch.

Ugh, there is no way in hell I'm kissing this asshole back.

I push him away from me "Fuck you," I mutter.

"When?" he asks giving me a grin that would win any girl over, except me.

I roll my eyes, grab my bag and start walking, no- strutting towards the parking lot. I make sure I sway my hips slightly, even though I'm not wearing heels I can still walk like this is my runway, because it is.

As usual, Chance is waiting for me at the front exit. Just like me, he is on a sports team which means that as long as it's related to his team, which is the basketball team, he can basically wear anything instead of the school's uniform.

He pecks me on the lips, "Hey, my little princess, how are you?" He asks.

"I'm good, how about you?" I say trying to sound nonchalant.

He looks at me closely for a while before answering and I start to feel uncomfortable. I'm not wearing the school uniform. I never do, I'm wearing my cheer uniform, is there something wrong?! I start to panic.

" I'm good too," He says, "But I can read you like a book, so spill, I can tell something's wrong."

Am I really that easy to read? Probably not, it's just Chance, he knows everything about me. I open my side of the car door.

"Um, you know how Mason has been trying to get me to be his hoe, well he tried it again today. Quite pathetic actually, didn't do anything." I try to reassure him.

"What the hell?" Chance sounds unusually agitated as he reaches up to pull his car door shut. "I told him to leave you alone. What did he do this time?"

I take a deep breath before beginning.

"Oh, the usual Mason. Pick up lines, trying to get me to dump you, the usual. but um..." I can't even look at Chance. "He kissed me."

I laugh nervously.

"What the fuck! "Chance yells as he brings the car to an abrupt stop to keep it from crashing "HE WHAT??!!"

I start to panic he's never been mad if a guy kisses me. "I didn't kiss him back or anything,"I say quickly. "I would never do something like that, you know me, Don't be mad."

Oh gosh, I made this sound worse than it really is, what if he's pissed at me?

"I'm not mad at you," he says quietly.

Oh, thank the lord.

"But I'm sure as hell pissed with Mason, were gonna have a little talk during practice tomorrow."

"Alright," I sigh. Once Chance makes up his mind about something there's no way to change it. "Just don't do anything stupid, ok?"

"Don't worry, I won't?" He says as he puts his hand on my thigh. "Wanna come over?"

Aw jeez, he knows I can't resist that.

"Sure," I say.

We get out of the car and walk towards Chance's huge house. Chance and his family are one of the, if not the richest family in Esterlyn. They own a huge mansion on the edge of the city a few blocks from my house. With so many rooms and bathrooms that in all the four years I've been with Chance, I haven't even seen every room yet.

We walk inside and take the elevator to get to Chance's room on the third floor. He opens the door for me and I walk inside and sit on his bed.

I've been in this room so many times, but it still has yet to not impress me. His room is only slightly bigger than mine but he uses the space so much better. He has turned the entire back of his room into his basketball space. Trophies, snapbacks, jerseys, and uniforms, lots of them. The front is where I prefer to hang out. Not as special, just his bed, closet, gaming systems, two TVs, a coffee table, and a couple of couches.

"What do you want to do?" He asks as he comes out of his bathroom in nothing but his track pants.

"I don't know, anything really, I'm kinda thirsty though so can you get me some Voss please," I say giving him one of my award winning smiles.

"Yeah sure," He says as he goes to press the button to get in touch with Sibyl, his attendant.

" Hey Sib, can I get a Voss, a Coca-Cola with lemon, and the usual to eat please?"

"Of course," I hear Sibyl say. She's a nice woman. Early thirties, German, thick accent.

She comes back several minutes later with the drinks, four slices of pizza, a bowl of fruit, and a grilled vegan cheese sandwich.

"Thank you," I tell her as she sets the food on the coffee table.

"Wanna play COD?" Chance asks me the moment Sibyl leaves "I can drive you home later if you want, or you can stay the night.

" I'll stay over. I had another argument with my mom and I really don't want to see her right now. "

He doesn't have to ask because he knows that my mother and I do not get along.

"Alright with me," He between kisses. "It's better when were alone anyways."
