Whirlwind

The Pretty One - Chapter 1

I was so nervous from the very first time I stepped into her house. How in all my 17 years of knowing her did she finally get me to go to one of the 'famous' parties. But now this was my second party at her house. The reason they were famous way because every time at least one person would get so drunk that they would strip and go streaking around the block.

I'm sure that may have been my main reason to NEVER go to one of her parties, let alone 2 and if I had listened to myself, my life wouldn't have changed the night of the second party.

Let's go back to when this all happened.

I was in my room studying with Mai, just to point out Mai is the 'her' I was referring to. I've been friends with her for what seems life 80 years and were both old and wrinkly now, but no it will be 17 years in a few weeks. Her parents were friends with my foster parents so we knew each other right from birth I guess you could say I was adopted right after I was born apparently. I knew things about her no one else did, some of them even scared me. Like how I can tell if she's nervous she starts to talk a lot and changes the conversation, how she's the ugliest crying person I have ever met. She's a messy person she chucks all her shit everywhere when she gets home and makes a face at me when I complain about it. She's one of the people I trust most in this world I tell her everything about myself. Well most of it anyway.

"... So I... I was wondering..." Mai said stopping each time she tried to start.

"Ok! Stop you've been doing this for hours what do you want to ask me?!" I yelled which surprised both her and I, "Sorry, I just. Go on."

After a minute of what I think is her contemplating whether to speak or not she sighs "Ok, so you know that guy who I said has a thing for you..."

I stopped her dead, "Nope."

"Aww come on I promised him and... and he really likes you. I think you'll like his too. Please do me this one favour. If you say yes I'll owe you." she smiled smugly because she knew she had me. I loved it when she owed me. I was always being bothered by her or someone else. This was my way out she'd help.

"Ugh, you know I can't resist you owing me." I said in defeat.

"Yep." She said sounding really up herself.

That's when we both cracked up laughing rolling around my bedroom floor giggling. We stopped after what felt like ages. "Ok, so what's his name, age, height, how do you know him and does he play sport?"

She looked at me curiously,"If I'm not mistaken you sound like you've been thinking about this, am I right?

"If I didn't think about it first I would not have said yes, now would I?"

She went on about him how he was on a basketball team "Now you know I go for more chess club geeks, right" Joking to her, because my track record was geeks and losers. She laughed then ignored me and went on.

"He's 17, and a year ahead of us his name is Josh he plays basketball, he's definitely over six... something, you know I'm not good with height, he's a friend of my ex. You know Adam... or was it Anthony..." she was spacing out again.

"Ashley, his name was Ashley..." I said quietly. You see I liked Ashley but he didn't like me, he was more into Mai and she like him a bit so that was that.

There's something you should know about my relationship with Mai she's the beautiful, stunning light brown haired Mai Angelique Williams. And well. I'm Silvia Hayden Summers the less pretty smart sidekick with dark brown hair, don't get me wrong I was used to it now she always had the gorgeous boyfriends, she was more popular but she stood out more she would never be able to hide easily, and she didn't really have real friends not like I did. I mean we had each other but other than that she didn't have anyone I had a few here and there.

I've always been around her in primary school she was the perfect height for all guys and she was already stunning, then she grew boobs and that was the end of me, she was now a specimen for perfect breeding. Sure in some ways you could say I resent her for that but it's not her fault I know that its her god damn parent they were both beautiful. Mine I guess not so much. I mean I'm not ugly just when I'm next to her, you wouldn't notice me. But I never let it get to me as much as other girls, they either hated her or loved to gain from her there was no in between like we had.

All of her 'friends' don't seem to like me that's either because I'm not like them or it's because I make her see reality more. But Mai has never noticed I feel this way, how I feel in superior to her in every way, and I'd like to keep it that way.

She was always trying to set me up because she thought I was scared to do it. But that's not true I just always ended up mainly falling for guys that liked Mai and not me. That's just the curse of having a much more attractive friend.

I started this story from a few of my life experiences. Don't expect them all to be it's all just me and my imagination. I hope you like the story. I had lots of fun writing it. Comment if you want them to keep going. BYE.
