Forehand

Gettin' ready!

When I got home from my first day of tennis,I went up to my room and since I have been doing my homework.
I thought I heard the bell ring,so I went downstairs,when I heard shuffling of packets and Chance's booming voice calling out for me.

"Jeez!I'm coming.Hold your horses and your voice."I said as I ran up to him,only to see Sarah and Lisa with him with bags in their hands.
Chance certainly didn't look like he was interested in holding the bags but believe me Lisa and Sarah can be pretty persuasive.

He kept the bags on the sofa and I knew what were we doing,just then Lisa screamed"Partay!"and fist bumped in the air,while Chance and Sarah hooted and I just rolled my eyes.

"No"I said looking at them.They know I am not into high school parties.
"Oh!Come on"Sarah whined.
"There will be drinks.Like good ones,expensive and strong stuff.It's Nate's party anyway."Chance said,bribing me.Lisa wiggled her eyebrows.
"Fine"I said giving up.

+Victoria's room+

"What the heck,dude?"I said looking at all the stuff,Lisa and Sarah bought at the mall,scattered on my bed.
"It's awesome.Isn't it?Lisa said picking up a blue dress and testing it on herself,looking in the mirror.Sarah began doing the same thing.
I groaned."Okay,let's get something straight,No makeup,No hair styling and No heels."I said in a stern voice.

"What?No Victoria,you are supposed to look good.Please,pretty please"Lisa said and Sarah nodded.Chance was just prancing about my room going through the drawers and stuff,he said he wanted to choose a dress for me so currently he was searching my closet.

He thinks he knows what a girl should wear,what will make her look good and hot at a party.I swear,he's not gay.Until proven otherwise.I mean,I always wanted to have a gay friend.

"Uh-huh"I said shaking my head.
They sighed in defeat.
Sarah's face suddenly lit up,she said"Okay,but you have to put your hair down."She said smirking.

"Fine"I said as I slouched my shoulders.
"Found it!"Chance yelled at us,from the walk-in-closet.

I inhaled a deep breath.
Chance had a fashion-sense of that of well,lets just say not to sophisticated.But I was surprised to find Chance holding an elegant cream dress with three-fourth lace sleeves and nude wedges and a nude clutch.
I still groaned.But at least it was elegant yet I don't know how such a dress ended in my closet.I took the dress but shook my head at the heels.
"Oh!Come on!They are not heels.They have a flat-platform."Sarah whined.

I groaned and then glared at her.Chance took the heels and pushed me on the stool,he then took the wedges and put them on my feet.

"But-" I attempted to stop him but he put his hand on my mouth and shook his head.
I slouched my shoulders.As he strapped the wedges on,he took my hand and told me to stand.

I stood up instantly,thinking maybe if I would fall on my face then I will not have to wear them.

But I felt a bit dizzy and my vision got blurred for five seconds.I staggered a bit but when I opened my eyes,I was still on my feet.
Chance smirked at me and Sarah and Lisa just clapped their hands and high-fived each other.I was being ruled out.Atleast,I can walk in these.

*after wearing on the dress*

"Oh!Come on!Just a smudge of lipstick,please!Sarah said,making a puppy face up at me.

"No"I said shaking my head.

"Oh!Come on!It's beige in colour.Anyone will barely notice it."She said flailing her arms around like a crazy person enough to get me distracted and she had already put a little smudge of lipstick on my lips.

I just glared at her.She just rolled her eyes at me and took away the tissue box in front of me reading my mind.

I was getting irritated.Chance had fell asleep while we were getting ready and I wasn't allowed to see myself in the mirror.

Apparently,they wanted me to see the final product.

"Hey,Earth to Victoria,!Could you please help me with Sarah's hair?"Lisa nudged me.

I got up and stood there awkwardly.I hadn't ever used a curling iron.

Lisa held a strand of hair and brushed it with the rolling brush.She instructed me to hold the iron the bottom of the strand and roll it inwards.I did the same as told and after half an hour of Sarah's hair and half an hour of Lisa's hair.They were ready.

Sarah was dressed in a beautiful turquoise heart-neck dress.It came to her mid-thigh.She was wearing 5-inch silver pumps with the dress.

Lisa was dressed in a red halter neck dress with golden pumps.It came up to her mid-thigh.So did my dress.

My dress had lace covering the back only.Like the sleeves.
"Let's go"Lisa said excitedly.

I went up to the bed and shook Chance to wake him up.I took a handful of chips from the lays packet laying on his stomach.

"What?Are you people finally ready to go?"He said slowly opening his eyes and widening them in the process and talking in a shocked voice.

I just glared at him and hit him and said"See,I told you,I look that bad."I said turning accusingly towards Lisa and Sarah

Sarah just rolled her eyes and smacked Chance and said"Her eyes are up here and on this side."She said pointing towards the direction of my face which was opposite to Chance.

I just turned towards Chance to find him rubbing his neck sheepishly.

"I am a guy.Ain't I?"He said smirking.

I just rolled my eyes and said"Now can I look at myself in the mirror?I don't like this Cinderella stuff.Not letting me look,really?And the best part,it took them about half an hour putting that cloth on the mirror.I mean,you could have just told me to sit anywhere else where there wasn't the mirror in front of me."I said and started laughing.

Sarah and Lisa just blushed.And I burst out laughing again.

Chance looked shocked and screeched"You haven't seen yourself in the mirror,yet?"

"No.And I think people over in Myanmar heard you."I said rolling my eyes and covering my ears.My oh-so-delicate-ears.

"Sarcasm not appreciated."Chance said and glared at me.

"Sorry,Mom."I said smirking.

Before Chance could say anything.Lisa and Sarah stopped us.

But we were laughing so hard looking at their pissed off faces.It was hilarious.

And that's how we made up.

I looked in the mirror,hesitantly.
I looked elegant,different and more girly,I suppose with my hair down and stuff.My mother would have had a field day with this.I'm more of a just put on a sexy leather jacket girl.

But well,the positive side is Chance is a guy and he was checking me out so other guys....
And a smirk made it's way on my face and Sarah and Lisa just face-palmed themselves.
Chance just scrunched up his nose.

They knew what it meant when I smirk.
Mama's gonna get some boy-time.

"I'll just make-out with someone,I promise."I said and burst out laughing.
