A few days after the auction girls were announced the day of the pep rally finally arrived. The amount of cat calls I got were countless through the week but not as many as Peyton managed to secure, I swear to god boys are pigs.
I tried really hard to get out of the auction but in vain because apparently I'm some kind of celebrity and that would mean more money, I even tried bribery but apparently nothing is good enough for a student council of whiny girls.
"How do I look?" I asked Scarlet. I was wearing a knee length dark blue dress I had once modelled for earning me a huge discount.
"This is the one! It's the one!" she shouts out.
"And how the hell would you know that?" Peyton asks coming out of my bathroom with a knee length black a-line tube dress.
"I have fashion in my blood! Trust me on this one!" she scoffs and looks at Peyton accusingly as I rolled my eyes.
"You ready April? Cause the faster we leave the sooner we reach to watch the entire pep rally" Peyton announces checking the time on the phone.
"I just have to straighten her hair and do a little makeup then we can leave!" Scarlet answers for me.
"Fine I'll be back soon" she says walking towards the door.
"Umm.. Rilly do you have a pen?" she asks spinning around on her heel.
"Yea here you go" I gave her a pen that was lying on my table whilst eyeing her suspiciously.
"Where are you going?" I asked as she opens the door.
"Just, you know.... Downstairs" she said and walks out before I could say anything.
"Okay should I use a cobalt blue or royal blue eyeliner?" I ask Shereen.
"Is that even a question? Obviously cobalt blue" she says and grabs the eyeliner and started working her magic on me.
After she was done with my makeup and my hair she finally let me look at myself in the mirror.
"Wow Scarlet..." I said looking at the girl who was supposedly me in the mirror.
"Oh! I almost forgot!" she squealed and walked to me with a white purse and gave it to me.
"You look ready to break some hearts!" she squealed as she clapped her hands in glee.
"Really me and break hearts?" I asked laughing.
"April listen to me I know how you're so not looking forward to this and I don't know if it's because you hate the spotlight or because you're scared nobody will bid on you but trust me any guy would be stupid not to bid on you okay.... And also don't let a Kingsley get you, trust me he's just gonna hurt you" Scarlet started her usual pep talks as I walked to her and pulled her into a bear hug.
"I'm going to teach that Wayne not to mess with my friends okay? So you have to show him you're strong!" I said looking at her.
She looked pretty as usual her blonde hair left down and she was wearing a red tank top with ripped skinny jeans.
