Lust or Love?

Chapter 1 - Golden Globes and the Simpsons

Chapter 1

11:30am

"Cassandra sweety it's time to get up, we need to start painting" i couldn't help the groan that came out of my mouth as i remembered that we were painting the house today, the whole house... 3 whole stories

"But mum, Elanor and i are meant to be watching the Golden Globes in like half an hour" i pulled the covers higher over my arm to keep the cold out "and i have to pack for the party" i pulled the covers the whole way over my head so i couldn't see my mums face. I heard her shuffle around for a minute, hoping she had left i took the covers off my head only to see her looking around in disgust 

"Your room is a pigs sty" she picked up a sock covered in dust. I knew i had to clean, but i liked how it looked, it looked like a 17 year olds room, it was my room. 

"Mum it's raining anyways, we can't paint, how about i paint with you tomorrow" she gave me a hopeful look and dropped the sock back down 

"Okay, and you also have to empty the dishwasher before you go" she always had ulterior motives  "and you might be late" this made me wide awake, i dragged my body sluggishly into a sitting position

"You know how excited i've been about this party i can't be late" i was starting to sounds like a whiney teenager, but i guess that's what i was

"I have to go past the library to give back a book, but it might take a while because it's over the date it was meant to be..." she started explaining with a wide range of hand gestures, if you blocked her voice out it looked like she was having a fit, i guess the hand gestures come with being Greek "Are you even listening, i just shouldn't take you, get a license like everyone else your age" i started laughing, she new i didn't want to learn to drive because it was bad for the environment and she also knew that if i didn't show up David would show up on the doorstep with his water gun and try and get me there. Don't ask about the water gun, he is married to it. 

"Be ready at 7:30 got it" she turned and left my room basically colliding with my older sister, i fell back down on the bed and snuggled into my pillow. I felt the bed dip down on one side and i knew it was Elanor 

"The Globes start in 10" i looked up from the pillow to see her playing with her blue hair... green hair.

"You do know your hair is turning green" i started laughing, her attempt to have blue streaks had worked but only for a week

"Yeah well it's the suns fault, and plus you tried to dye your hair pink, and it looks all red" that had to be the most stupid thing i had ever heard come out of a 21 year olds mouth, my hair was crimson with pink roots because it was the only place the dye picked up on, i know it didn't work, but it looked better then hers

"F*ck off, i'll be down soon, just let me get changed" she left the room and i lay there thinking about how much things had changed in the last year. 

I had purple hair, now it's red. I had a boyfriend, not anymore since i dumped him. i ate meat, now that is just one thing i regret doing in life, i am now vegetarian. Okay so things hadn't changed that much and even when i think about how David and i have become best friends it doesn't seem like that much of a big deal. I quickly brushed my teeth and chucked my hair into a ponytail. Slipping on a pair of soccer shirts and a tank i walked down the stairs into the living room.

6:30pm

After about 5 hours of watching people getting awards and an hour and a half of the Simpsons i started to get ready for the party. 

At 7:00 my phone went of with Cher Lloyds song Want U Back ft. Astro

"Hello?" i put the phone between my ear and my shoulder so i could put my shoes on

"Cassie! What time are you getting to Brianna's?" the deep voice of Davids rang through the phone in excitement, and i started to laugh

"Around 8, don't forget we're going swimming"

"How could I, wear the nice Bikini the one with the flowers that make you boobs look big" i could have slapped him then and there if it weren't for the fact we were talking through the phone "not that they're not already big, cause they are" i started laughing and finished putting my shoes on, placing the phone on loud speaker i started putting makeup on

"You are so lucky your my best friend or else i would..."

"Would what, you're so short you can't do anything" he started laughing and i hung up on him, knowing he wouldn't care and finished getting ready, looking over at the time it flashed 7:38

"Mum! We have to go" i stumbled down the stairs in my heels holding my bag with the swimmers in it and taking $20 from the table.
