The Love In Between (Slow Updates)

You Don't Recognize Me?

-Beep-Beep-Beep-Beep- There goes my alarm cock. Is it time to get up already? Why, maybe ten more hours and I'll be fine.

"Celeste, it's time to get up." my sister says. I rub my eyes, trying to wake up. I hear Claire's footsteps. She better not drag me out of bed- Poke- "Come on, if your going to go to the same school as me then I better give you a huge makeover!" I can't hep but smile, Claire would probably make me look like a barbie doll.

I take of my covers and look at my legs. I still can't believe I lost so much weight. In 2 months of time, but why did I do it? Well, it was for the one guy I hate and his name is-

"Jake is going to the same school as us, right? Claire asked. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him, was all I could think about. He could've just said no to my offer! God, why am I thinking about him? "Hey why don't you take a shower super quick then will start your hair?" she looks at me then smiles. She's so nice to everyone. I do as she says and try my best to be fast.

I came out of the shower feeling refreshed. Claire yanked my arm and pulled me into her room. She is such a neat freak, her room has no specks of dirt. I look at her dresser, closet and her fancy table. Her table was filled with makeup, her closet has way too fancy and her dresser had a bunch of accessories. "Is this for me?' I squeak, I was scared of turning into a live barbie.

"Don't worry, you won't look like a doll," she rolled her eyes. She gestured her hand to the chair. I walk over awkwardly and sit. I look at my reflection in the mirror. My hair was still wet and straight, and my face looked alright. "Okay then, lets start." she immediately started by blow drying my hair. After it was dry, she put light curls and there was so much heat! My hair was done but Claire didn't let me see it. She said its's going to be a surprise.

She said my makeup was going to nice but noticeable. I didn't care what I looked like as long as i don't be in a class with dumb teens. I look at the clock to distract myself, it's 6:47 am and class starts at 8:20. I got to be there at 7:35, explore a bit. Claire said that she wants people to know that she has a cool sister, not a lame one. When she finished with my makeup I got out of the chair and walked straight for the door. But Claire grabs my arm....again.

" Where do you think you're going?" she looks like mom and acts like her, all protective but mom isn't here anymore..." I'm not letting you go to school wearing one of your outfits plus I already bought a new wardrobe!' she says it like she did a good deed. I pick out what I like from my "new" wardrobe and she let me change. When I came out of her room Claire
was no where in sight. She left my bag on the counter with a toast, bottle of juice and a note- She left me.

I didn't have time to check how I looked so I just ran to school wasting no time. I check my watch- 7:21. I can take my time. I stuff the piece of toast in my mouth and place the bottle in my bag. One more block and I'm there. I wonder what the people at the school are like? I bet mean, rude and arrogant people like-

"Ouch." I bumped into someone- a guy. He looks so familiar from the back? "Sorry." I say looking to see if the person is awake or sleepwalking. He turns around and i realize who it is-

"Hey are you new here? I don't know you?" Jake smiles. This stupid player, I feel like punching him in the mouth. I look into his dark blue eyes, he's still perfect. But then it hits me. He said I dont know you? He doesn't remember me? When I don't answer he just walks away.

I grabbed his arm like I did a year ago. "You don't recognize me......Jake?"
