The Beggining

Chapter 1 ~ The Party

Sydney’s P.O.V

All this drama started at my friends Eleizabeth’s house.

“Come on Sydney, it’s not like your 12 or anything, and you turning 17 soon as well! Come on just a few hours, just a few drinks; please Syd.”

“Oh ok! You won this time, again.” Well, don’t give me that look, she just did her ‘famous’ puppy dog eyes for Gods sake!

“Yay!!” Eleizabeth clapped her hands and jumped up and down continuously.

“Yay for you; you have a closet full of dresses, I have nothing to wear.” I pouted hoping she would change her mind about the whole party at Chris Webber’s place tonight.

“Ok, it’s only… 11.00 and the party starts at nine I think. Girl it’s time to go dress shopping.” Now she was clapping and jumping up and down even more than when I agreed to go to the party. This won’t end well.

“How about this one” I came out of the dressing room with a lace orange dress on. “So, what do you think?”

“I think orange and lace is going to make me puke. Do you have anymore less… less ugly looking dresses?”

“Well if you call this ugly then you wont like the other like five I have but I will show you anyway.” Man I hoped she liked them I thought the orange lace was nice and very affordable. Next I tried on a red dress with sequin scratch looking things on the side. “Ta Da! So how about this one hey?”

“Well…”

“I will try the next one.” I looked at the floor and then I remembered I need shoes too!! Wait its ok because all the dresses I picked Eleizabeth has matching shoes. Pffew I am saved.

Next I tried on a sequin covered emerald strapless dress. I hope she doesn’t pick this one I think it sucks but oh well. “I don’t think I like this one.”

“Yeah me neither, get rid of it”

Ok next up a purple once again very sparkly strapless dress. “This one?” I say pointing to myself.

“That one is nice, lemme see what other ones you have in there you should have like two left right.”

“Yeah, I will get the next one,” With that I went back into the changing room – more like changing closet gezz it is tight in here. I slipped on a blue sequin dress, and wow was it god damn itchy. “This one is so itchy”

“But it does look good on you I have to say.”

“Whatever let me show you the last one.” I liked the last dress I had it is black and also covered in sequins but it just looks good. “Finally the last one… So what do you think?” She was smiling and told me to turn in it for the first time {Pictures on side}.

“That is definitely the one.”

I walked back to the changing closet and put the other dresses back on their racks. Then I went to check out.

“That will be $490 miss.” My jaw dropped.

“Don’t worry Syd, it’s all on me, I did want you to come after all.” Wait what did I just hear her correctly or did Eleizabeth just tell me she was buying me a $490 dress just for one party. I just stood there with my mouth still open wide. Well until a stupid fly flew in it. Ewww I know gross. Well at least it came out.

So here we are at 7.30 getting ready for probably the biggest night of the year, I think.

“So Syd, are you going to straighten on curl your hair, because I will do the opposite, because you know tonight we are opposites.” I wasn’t listening.

“Huh? What is it Leiz?”

“Are you curling or straightening your hair?” What a dumb question of course I am straightening my hair does she not remember what happened the last time I used a curling iron? I am not going to bring that up though she will just laugh at me, again.

“Straightening”

“Ok, need any help you know so you don’t singe your hair off, again?” She burst into fits of laughter.

“No!! I-I can do it myself thank you very much!” Trust Eleizabeth to bring that up.

“Ok, Ok if you want to. B- B- But don’t come crying to me i- i- if you burn your hair o- o- off!” Eleizabeth got lost in her laughter so I just grabbed my straightening iron and went to straighten my hair. By the time I came out – Which wasn’t long because my hair was pretty straight already – Leiz was still lost in her laughter.

“Leiz, I’m done.” I don’t know why she laughed so hard it wasn’t that funny. “I will just go get dressed now ok.”

“Yeah, I’m over that silly joke now”

“It will be funny again next time though…” I mumbled this so she couldn’t hear me.

“What was that Sydney?”

“No it was nothing, I just said I was going to get changed” Saved it!!

“Ok you, just do that then.”

I went to her closet and damn this thing is huge. I grabbed my dress and stripped out of my skirt and tank top. I have to admit I guess I have a good style. I slipped into my dress.

The time had come. We were sitting in Eleizabeth’s car staring at the front door of Chris Webber’s house. Both of us just sitting there.

Eleizabeth broke the silence. “So are we just going to sit out here staring at his house all night?” I mumbled a soft no. “We Sydney, lets go. This is like a once in a lifetime opportunity here.”

“Chris has parties like every weekend” Once in a lifetime what is she talking about pfft…

“Yeah, but are we ever invited to them?” Once again I mumbled a soft no. “Then let’s go!! NOW Syd.” We both got out of the car in our stunning dresses might I add. We headed for the front door when we ran into Veronica and her boyfriend Daniel.

“What are you losers doing at a party as big as this huh?” She poked me in the shoulder and gave us both dirty looks.

Eleizabeth was the one to talk. “We were invited.” Veronica looked confused.

“You dorks, were invited by Chris Webber?” She had an eviler grin wiped upon her face now.

Now was my time to speak up. “No, his best friend Mason did.” I couldn’t hold back the smile on my face. Mason Dittom was the second hottest and popular guy at school. After Chris of course.

“You’re telling me that Mason Dittom asked you to come to this party?” Veronica didn’t look very impressed “I don’t believe you.” That crazy grin once again took place on her face.

“Yes, yes he did.”
