Love, Lies and Converse
So I thought that I would try a new story about a real teenage life, about an average girl from an average family. Obviously I am going to have to dramatise it otherwise it will be boring, but its not going to be about the perfect girl and her perfect boyfriend and all the perfect sex they have together (:
Let me know what you think of the idea and see how you like this first bit. BTW its going to be set in America, cos people seem to like that more, but I am from England so please tell me if I get the stuff about schools and whatever wrong.
Chapter 1
Brody's arms wrapped around my waist as he kissed along my jaw, moving further and further down the length of my body. I let out a moan as his hand played with the top of my underwear. In the background I heard an alarm ringing...
My eyes flew open and I groaned, remembering the gorgeous details of the dream I had just been rudely awakened from. I slammed my fist on the top of the alarm to shut it up, knocking a glass of water onto the floor as I did so. Shit. I ran out of bed and into the bathroom down the hall.
'Megan, get out of the bathroom! I need to loo roll quick!' I yelled through the door at my obnoxious older sister.
'Piss off!' She yelled back.
'What do you need it for?' I heard my mom shout from downstairs.
'I spilt water in my freaking room.'
'Jesus Olivia, how many times have I told you not to have drinks in your room!' She threw some paper towels up the stairs. I grabbed them and stomped back into my room, slamming the door behind me.
'Do not slam the doors Olivia!' My mom yelled, but her voice was drowned out by the All American Rejects song blaring through my stereo speakers.
After I had cleared up the water, I looked in the mirror that hung on the wall beside my door. My mid-length dark brown hair looked like a nest on the top of my head. Great. My bright blue eyes, framed by fairly long dark lashes were dark and puffy. Again, great. However my pale skin looked quite clear this morning, as it usually did. I guess that I could be called pretty, but I was nothing special. My eyes were probably my best feature as they stood out so much. Many people said I looked like an English rose, which I guess isn't good seeing as though I lived in California and should have tanned skin and golden blonde hair, but hey-ho. I don't really care.
After being in the shower, which my sister had finally gotten out of, and towel dried my hair so it returned to its natural wavy state, I got dressed. I picked out my favourite dark blue skinnies, blue converse and a flowery tank top, adding a few bracelets just to finish the outfit off. I then did my usual make up; concealer, blush, a bit of eye-liner and mascara. There. I wasn't the sort of girl who spent hours perfecting my hair and makeup, but I also wasn't the sort of person to not give a damn about what I looked like either.
I grabbed my oversized tan leather bag from my bed and ran downstairs. My house wasn't massive, like you see on those American TV shows, but it wasn't tiny either. Just right for me, mom, Megan and my step-dad, Alex. Mum is a secretary at Alex's law firm, and after my dad walked out on us, that's where she sought her comfort. They had been together a total of 10 years out of my 17 years of life.
When I was sat eating my lucky charms, mom ran in, grabbing the keys to her car. 'Me and Alex have got a business meeting this weekend and we are leaving tonight. Just a heads up so you can ask the girls if they want to stop over.' She shouted as the ran through the house. 'See you this evening before we go!'
As soon as she had gone, Came into the kitchen. She was slightly more 'Californian' than I was. Her skin was tanned and her long brown hair tousled nicely in a surferish kinda way. 'I'm having a party tonight so invite some of your losers if you want.'
'Not losers, friends. They are far from losers,' I retorted. It annoyed me when she tried to make me seem like a little kid.
'Yeah, well, whatever. Starts at 8 and DON'T tell mom.'
'I'm not stupid, Megan'. Grr, she annoyed me so much, but hey, she was having a party, yay!
Soo lemme no what you think. If there's stuff that I should change to make it more American, please let me know ! (:
