Six Boys and One "Nerd"

Chapter 10 - Nerds and New Looks

       Today is Monday and it also happens to be the day that I am no longer going to be known as the nerd. I'm getting my badass reputation back and no one can stop me. Yesterday I went shopping with Kassie and we purchased all the clothing and accessories I needed for my new wardrobe. My favorite new addition is my leather jacket. It's so gorgeous and it fits me perfectly.

     I take a quick shower then blow dry my hair. Once it's dry I straighten it and then do my makeup. I chose simple but bold. For clothes, I throw on a flowing white blouse and then a pair of holy black skinny jeans since it was kind of chilly today in California. I throw my black Vans on and finally as a finishing touch I put on my precious leather jacket. My look is almost finished. Finally, I put in my brand new contacts. I decided yesterday that from now on my glasses are only for at-home use now.

     I check my outfit one last time in the mirror and feel...bold and ready for the day. I certainly didn't feel like I normally did. Instead, I felt......alive.

     I grab my new black book bag, phone, and keys. I trot down the stairs and walk to the kitchen for an apple. I cringe at all the dirty dishes in the sink and made a mental note to wash them after school. Easton's friends stayed over for the entire weekend this time so they are still here. I hear everyone mutter a "Woah" at the same time in utterly shocked voices. I turn around to face them. "What?" I ask with a smirk, "Cat got your tongue?" Brantley is the first to break the silence.

     He waltzes up to me and says, "Wow Easton I thought you only had one sister, who's this hot stuff." His comment made me cringe a little and then he puts his arm around me waiting for an answer.

     "Um Brantley that's Emerson, ya know the one we just tortured on Saturday," Easton mentions whilst trying to hold back his laughter. Brantley looks at me closely sees the resemblance and pretends to faint making everyone burst into laughter.

      Aaron comes over and studies my new look, "Wait! your look isn't complete! here take this!" He says as he takes the black baseball cap off his head and places it on my head. He situates it and then backs away. Once everyone saw his masterwork they all hooted in agreement. "Dang I'd fuck her," Aaron mutters with a look of approval. His comment makes me laugh. Easton gags and rolls his eyes. I chuckle at his loving response and glance at the clock on our kitchen wall. "well I gotta go so I'll see yah at school then" I mutter and start to head towards the garage.

       "Wait a minute you can't ride in the Jeep, you have to ride in style if your gonna look like that," Asher comments in his gorgeous husky voice. I spin around to face him, "And just how am I going to do that?" He smirks, "Well, you can ride with me on the back of my motorcycle." He mentions while running his hand through his gorgeous hair. My stomach flutters at his idea and I quickly nod my head in agreement. I notice that the other guys are staring at me with pure shock in there faces. I don't understand why so I ignore them.

     "Okay cool, just let me change my shirt real quick." He walks over to his duffel bag and grabs a white shirt with black flames coming up the edges. He proceeds to take off his shirt and put that one on. Just the flash of his rock hard abs was all my stomach needed to do a full 180. He grabs his leather jacket and then walks out the front door so I follow. I shut the door behind me and then follow him across my yard. That's when I see what Asher is letting me ride.
