Tails

Chapter 3 (Lucy's POV)

   "Why can't I go?" I asked my father late on a Friday night. "Because you need to focus more on your studies this weekend and less on those wild friends of yours." he told me. I'd been trying to convince him to let me go to this party on the beach that my best friend, Katie, was throwing that weekend. I was afraid that if I didn't go then I wouldn't catch my boyfriend, Mason, making out with Elena Marshall there. I had a feeling that something was going on between them ever since I saw them gazing at each other with flirtatious smiles on their faces from across the school hall. I've never confronted him about it though because the last thing I wanted was boyfriend drama. And why would he want that freckle-faced whore when he could have me? Together me and him conquer the whole school. How's life for a girl like me at North Shore High? Life. Is. Easy. 

 

     When I get to school in the morning, I work my way through the school halls with my pleated skirt riding high up my thighs, my blonde hair bouncing, Mason by my side, ready to conquer anything. I never have to worry about not having a place to sit at lunch because I know when I walk outside to the courtyard Katie will be saving me a place. When we have break, Katie, Samantha, Leilani, and I sit on the courtyard steps, look out onto the beach, and talk about which parties we were going to that weekend. Then, when it's time to go back to class, my friends and I sneak our phones out and take a few selfies in front of some loser in class and then post it to Instagram later and make fun of them in the caption. When school is over Mason drives me home and we 'study' at my house for a while. Then, before I know it the day is over. Life sure is easy for me, but it isn't that exciting. Sometimes I wish something variant would happen to me. Everyday is almost the same, except for when Anna is there to ruin it.

 

     Anna and I have been sworn enemies ever since kindergarden when I stole her place next to Mason Simmons in the reading circle. Anna is a cynical raven-haired snake who thinks she's a badass just because she dresses different and doesn't follow the rules. As much as I'd love to ruin her, I can't. 

 

     Anna has a lot on me. One day last year I was in the school bathroom, doing my after lunch routine, when all of a sudden, Anna, of all people, walks in and sees me sticking my finger down my throat. I paid her $80 to keep quiet about it. Then one spring I was at the beach with Mason and some of his friends. We were all smoking joints, Mason and his friends laughing at every word I said, when all of a sudden I hear a snap of a camera. It was Anna. I paid her $100, straight out of my leather Chanel wallet, to delete the photo. If my dad ever saw that photo he'd crucify me.

 

      When my dad and I aren't talking to each other, we're fighting. It's usually about how I'll never get into collage, how I should stop hanging around with 'those illiterate friends' of mine, or how the only thing I do is remind him of my mom. 

 

      My mom died of a car crash when I was 2 years old. I was the only one to get out alive with nothing but a few scratches. The only thing I can remember about her is her laugh. She laughed light and soft in the most pleasant way. I don't even know how I can remember it. I told dad one night about how I can still hear her laugh when I go to sleep. I was hoping that he would say something about her back to me, but instead he just put down the book he was reading and walked out of the room. I was enraged at him for doing that at first. I told him that he can't just keep shutting me out like this. He then changed the subject by asking me how my studying was going. That's when I ran out of the room, hot tears streaming down my face, not knowing weather or not if I should feel sorry for myself or for him. He misses her so much that he can't bare to even look at his own daughter. 

 

     Whenever I'm feeling down I usually drown the sadness out with a bottle of Jack Daniels till I see stars. When Katie isn't there to join me she's out trying to get lines at a party. She's fucking crazy. Ever night she's out with some new guy that only likes her for her body. She's promiscuous, uncontrollable, a bit of a bitch sometimes, but she's the best friend there is. Last year she helped me get revenge on this bastard who cheated on me. We went to his house when him and his family where on vacation and totally trashed their house. They had security cameras so we had to put on these really itchy ski masks that made our faces red, but it was worth it. My adrenaline was pumping so fast that I thought I was gonna collapse. Katie also stole this huge stash of cash from under his parents bed. She split the cash with me which bought me a new pair of white Louis Vuitton heels. Before we left she wanted to spray "Think twice before you decide to bang a whore you two-timing bastard" but I said no because we'd definitely get caught. I guess you could say Katie and I have fun together. 

 

    I made a promise to myself this summer that I'm gonna make next year totally kick ass. I'm not gonna let anybody get in my way, including my father.

I'm SO sorry it took me so long to add the other chapter! It took me awhile to get motivated for some reason. Hope you enjoy this chapter though :)
