No Signal

05 - What? :)

Jaelyn Cutter

So, Hailey went home. My mother came home.

And well, she has something to talk about.

I didn't like it.

"What? You literally just came and asked me this straight away with no hello? I literally feel so attacked right now"

She looked at me in the eye and started talking once again.

"Jae, It's just a company dinner, all you need to do is smile and greet people! Nothing else! Both you, and your little brother just need to make a good impression for the family!" She pleaded, apparently my little brother, Nicholas, or what he prefers to be called, Nico.

"But company dinners means formal attire! Dresses, heels, and accessories! Dresses, and heels, mom" I made the last 4 words as clear as possible.

Dresses are still OK maybe, but when paired with heels? It's not OK. Last time they were paired to be worn on me, I tripped and fell of a few steps of stairs, hurt a bone and so on.

Maybe I have a phobia of them since then! Dressandheelsaphobia! I mean who could blame me! It was their fault for making me trip after... I ran...

Ok, maybe it's my fault.

But they accentuated the pain.

"Please? For me? I'll get you small heels! Wedges to make you comfortable if you want too!" She said, the thing is, she knows I can't say 'no'.

"Fine..." I sighed, she then clapped her hands together in happiness.

"You can ask Hailey to come with you if you're uncomfortable!" I smiled at the info, having a close friend near me will be reassuring my dressandheelsaphobia issue.

"Oh?! A company dinner?! And you're asking me to come? Oh, Jae... I don't know if I can..." I looked up to her, and pleaded.

"Please! I jus-"

Until she cut me off.

"Oh since you insist! Of course I'll go!"

This little- well at least she's going.

Then Kai and Jaden walked past us. Jaden spun around, snapped his fingers and pointed at us- or Hailey.

Hailey did the same gesture to him as they made derpy faces to eachother. Wow, childhood friends are weird.

Yes, the both of them are childhood friends. Hailey told me once. She said, they were the closest shits ever in Middle School, but for some reason they drifted apart a bit in High School.

Maybe it was because of Jaden's other commitments in school. The usual mountain stacks of school work, being the running back in the American Football team and still being faithful and caring to his girlfriend sure would be a ton of work on his back.

So Hailey is completely chill about it, but they still exchange these, cute- weird, questionable, derpy greetings whenever they see eachother in the hallways.

But they never say anything?

Telepathy?

OK, nevermind! Back to reality! Kai's waving at me.

What should I do? What shOULD I DO?

I started to ask the same question over and over as my head made a gameshow of this question.

'Hello everyone of Jaelyn's head inc.! Today's question is 'What should she do now?' option A. Turn around, option B. Wave back?' The MC shouted into the microphone as the citizens of my head started screaming mixed answers.

'Everyone seems to not be in an agreement! Which opens up the automatic option C! Give him a smile! Awkwardness guaranteed 100%!' The MC shouted once again as she pointed forward.

And that was what I did.

I smiled at him, it probably looks awkward as fuck, but oH WELL.

He chuckled and smiled at me, then turning to leave with Jaden.

"Oh? Prince charming was smiling right there" Hailey teased, obviously saw the exchange of smiles, awkward smile in my part.

"Shut up Haybitch" I pouted at her.

"Don't say bad things about yourself! That'll be animal abuse!" She dramatically gasped at me.

This sassy little shit.

Wedges, the pair of black wedges laid on the floor of my house. I glared at it's existence.

Hailey watched in amusement, then slipping on a pair of white heels she brought. I followed her and put on the wedges.

I tried walking, only to wobble slightly and hold onto the couch. I laughed lightly, looking back to expect from the same from her.

I wasn't getting what I expected.

She was literally strutting up to me with a smug smirk on her pale face.

"How?" I asked clearly, she flipped her hair over the shoulder and walked to the center of the room.

"Talent" She briefly answered, then breaking into 'We Are Bulletproof Pt. 2' choreography, specifically V's part.

Yeah, I learned my BTS for her. Am I not best friend goals?

Oh yeah, Hailey didn't even wobble a bit from her dance marathon.

Is she possesed. How does a human dance in high heels.
