Officially Stupid

5

"Stupid heels," I mutter angrily as I wait in the line for the club. I managed to squeeze into a very short, slutty black dress with a low cut back and added killer heels to match. All in the hopes of looking like a sexy badass that seems to pull everything off in heels, like in movies. Unfortunately I'm wobbling around like an idiot and I feel very retarded.

I carefully place one foot in front of the other as I step up to the bouncer and hand him the fake ID my boss gave me. He glances at me and then nods.

Inside it's crazy, so many people cluster together in groups at the bar and on the dance floor. The bass thumps through me as I make my way to the bar. This is the hard part- finding Sasha.

I sigh as my eyes scan over the large crowd, this is going to be impossible. My phone reads 10:01pm, they should be here somewhere.

Just as I'm about to give up and lose hope I recognize a blonde with manicured nails holding a phone to her ear a few seats away. Jackpot.

As I make my way over to her she stands up and smooths her sparkly red dress.

"Sasha," I smile.

"Uh hi," she looks confused, "can I help you?"

"It's Emma, from the park," I remind her.

"Oh yes," she laughs, "forgive me, Emma. My boss is a little cranky today and it has me in a bit of a mess."

"I know exactly what you mean," I nod with false enthusiasm.

"You look great," she grins.

"As do you." Let's just get this over with.

"I'm sorry, I have somewhere to be but I have to ask you," she says and lowers her voice, "do you want-"

"Yes," I cut her off, "Yes, I want in."

An hour later I'm leaving the club with a post it note of where and when to next meet Sasha. Turns out the people that were meant to show never did. We talked about a bunch of things but nothing on what I was signing up to. Every time I tried to bring it up she would change the subject and told me I would find out soon enough.

Katherine waltzes over to me the next morning with a devilish smile plastered to her horrid face.

"Winter," she flashes me her stark white teeth.

"What?" I snap, not in the mood for her Bullshit.

"Well, see I was doing some digging and I happened to stumble across your tutoring time with Daniel."

"And?" I roll my eyes. If she's here to bitch about him to me then she's got another thing coming.

"I just couldn't help myself," She's full on grinning now, " I saw your little performance with him and I plan on using it to my full advantage." She pulls a small purple hard drive out of her handbag (yes a handbag at school, I joke you not), "say goodbye to Connor."

"Wh- what are you saying?"

"Are you really that dumb?" She narrows her blue eyes and tosses her platinum blonde hair over her shoulder, "do I need to spell it out for you? I - recorded- it - on - my -phone. And.... I'm going to show Connor. You ruined my relationship so now I'm going to ruin yours."

No.

"Please don't," I plead, "I'll do anything."

"Anything?" The malicious grin is back. Oh shit.

"Yes," I gulp. Normally I would reply with some smart ass come back but my relationship with Connor is already on the line and it's only just begun, I don't want to make it worse.

"Alright, you can be my little slave. But one wrong move and this bad boy," she waves the hard drive in front of me for impact, "goes straight to Connor. For now it can stay in my locker." With that she spins on her heel and struts away.

"You gotta hand it to her. Bitch knows how to play," Daniel laughs from behind me.

"You think this is funny?" I spit, "my relationship with Connor is being put at stake here and you find it funny? Not to mention this is all your fault you asshole. Thanks to you I get to play minion for God knows how long, this is totally going to ruin my low profile reputation. For fuck sake, couldn't you keep it in your stupid pants?" without thinking I slap him, and I slap him good. The crack rings out across the corridor and bounces off the walls, it's then that I notice how silent everything is.

He blinks, taken aback, "I think you ruined that reputation all on your own," he gestures to the hundreds of eyes glued to us. So much for staying out the spotlight.

"What?" I demand, "Nothing to see here!"

Just as I'm about to make my way to the cafeteria for lunch, Katherine makes an appearance. I sigh, I knew it would come sooner or later, I just wish it wasn't during the time I'm supposed to be with Connor.

"Winter," she smirks, "Joanna and I feel like Starbucks. We need you to get us each a caramel latte."

"Later," I roll my eyes, "I'm busy right now. Or you could just get it yourself."

Joanna gasps, "Kat and I want them now!"

"No no, it's okay, Joanna," Katherine laughs, "we'll just make a trip to see Connor-"

"Okay fine," I snap. Gah, way to worsen my already bad day.

"Great, your shout," she smiles, "Oh and you need to meet us at the mall after school. We have, like, a massive shopping trip planned."

"Yeah," Joanna giggles, "and we like, need you to carry our bags and stuff." I want to hit her.

"I'm so excited," I give a false laugh, "tootles."

"Ugh," I groan in frustration before sending a text to Connor -

Hey :)
I'm so sorry but I can't make it to lunch, gotta do a Coffee run for Barbie's evil twin and Co. Catch up later? Xox

As I stand outside my car about to open the door a pair of arms wrap around me. I freeze, then relax when I see who it is.

"Connor, Hey," I turn around and hug him.

"Hey," he brushes his hand lightly over my cheek and I feel myself start to go red, "I got your text. How'd you get roped into doing their coffee?" He chuckles.

"I offered," I lie and wave it off, "just wanted a chance to spit in their drinks."

He laughs then leans in to kiss me, "That's why I love you." A pang of guilt washes through me, I hate lying to him.

I tangle my hands in his hair as he presses me against my silver bomb of a car and deepens the kiss. I slide my hand up his shirt and he cups my breast, my hand glides over his hard stomach and my breath hitches as I let out a moan.

"Connor," he kisses my neck, "I really need to go."

He pulls away, "I'll see you tomorrow."

He gives me one final peck before heading into the school.

Fuck, I run my hands through my messed up hair, now I'm going to be late.

Hours later, after much running around and bag carrying, I finally get to go home. Those bitches made full use of me, I wasn't even allowed a bathroom break! Like what the hell? My phone rings as I'm pulling out if the mall car park. Daniel, ugh, the last person I want to speak to.

"I'll pick you up at eleven pm. Be ready."
