This is my first story ever, so I apologize for any mistake or stupidness, lol. Hope you enjoy it! 

Chapter 1

  "Dammit!" I said. I, again, messed up my eye liner. It was hard to do my make up with such a hurry. It's not that I am late, which surprises everyone 'cause I'm always so late to reunions. This time I took responsability and set the alarm to wake up early. (Yup... 'cause I'm sooo into responsabilities...) I giggled at my though.

  Anyways, what's taking my good mood down and making my well planned make up timing into a Kesha music video on my face was my best friend, Marie.

  Thinking of the devil. She entered the room and started blabbing. I could see her through the mirror while she speaks behind me.

  "Come on, Kate! Move that slow ass of yours and get ready already! They're gonna arrive at any moment and if you're not ready, I swear to God, Zeus or whoever the fuck is listening that I'll drag you down however you look!" she said, pointing a finger at my face.

I rolled my eyes and sighted. She's lucky I love her, 'cause I want to bitch slap her so bad right now.

  ''Well, if you keep yelling at me every fucking minute to hurry up, breaking my concentration making me mess up my eye liner, then I will never be ready. So shut your face hole and let me finish quietly, woman!''

"Agh!" she surrendedered and sat on my bed, crossing her legs. "Okay, but I'm doing this for you. I-"

"Suuure" I interrumpt her. "You won't get anything out of this..." I said sarcastictly.

She looked at me with a huge "Fuck You" all over her face and I couldn't hold the laughter.

  She rolled her eyes "Okay", she says confessing. "It's obvious that I end up winning out of this", she says with a smirk, but then she uses her serious tone and is being all honest "but I want you to do this for you. You think I don't know you? You guys haven't talked since you told him what you felt for him and that's killing you."

  She was right. I remember last year when I told him. I was in the 11th grade and he was about to leave to college. We were at my cousin's Alex house, also known as his best friend, and I though to myself stupidly that if I tell him, maybe, just maybe, he would feel the same towards me. But he just stood there.... Without a word, and I could feel in his face how freaked out he was getting and that broke my heart. But before we'd say anything else, his best friend came to us screaming something about a video game and we just acted like nothing had happened. The day after that they were heading to the university together so our families were all together to say their goodbyes. I didn't go, I was way too embarrased and broken hearted to go. Since that day I swore myself that I'd do my best to change myself and look beautiful, so he could realize what he could have had, but refused.

  I dyed my long curly dark brown hair to a copper red and started dancing to excersice. Took better beauty care and got into a modeling agency. By now I have a very nice body; I'm not conceded, I'm just proud of what I worked for. And all for the day were I'd seem him again, for today.

A/N: Hi again guys ^.^ I know it ain't much and it doesn't say much of the story :$ but next chapter won't be a dissapointment ;) so stay tuned for my next chapter!
