Chapter 7: Stop crying.

...A girl entered the school with a sad face. I immediately ran to her and jumped in a hug. I never saw her like that. From the moment I first time saw her, Scarlett was always optimistic, literally the sunshine of any company. She never was sad. Now, her face was all red and puffy, I noticed she has been crying all night. She didn't wore makeup, and came dressed in some random clothes. I thought it wasn't her. She always seemed to care how she looks, and I guess, now she doesn't.

-Omg, Lettie, what happened? Last time we spoke, you were full of energy. The single negative thing that happened is your parents coming back home., her eyes were getting watery. She couldn't resist, and started crying on my shoulder.

-H-he...broke up with me!

-What? Why? I thought Connor loves you.

-I also did. When my parents came, they started yelling at me that I disgrace the name of our family. That I'm an hoe. They told me that I'll never meet Connor again. They told me that there are rumors about me in the city. I told them that those are just someone's stupid prank, but they said that everybody is talking about that, and that they don't trust me anymore. I called Connor to tell him I'm not allowed to date him anymore. I thought that I don't love him, and that he does, and that we were just sleeping with each other, but I was wrong. He told me our relationship has no future, we never grew together, we are different, and this can't go further. I don't know what to do. He was so trendy, broke up with me on the phone...Lucy...

-Shhh, stop crying, otherwise you won't see how bright the stars will shine., I patted her head. She looked at me and I gave her a bright smile,. Ok, now let's go make such a goddess, that he'll regret letting you go.

 She gave me a small smile and I kissed her forehead. I went to my locker to take some additional clothes I put there for some emergency, and some makeup. We went to the bathroom and started the makeover.

-Ok, I said excitedly, first we will wash those tears away.

 I was applying the makeup on her face, additionally making some jokes, to give her a happy mood. I painted her lips red, applied some white eye-shadow, drew a cat-eye, contoured and highlighted her face and applied some fake lashes. After I finished, she went inside to change into a  XXS gray Kelvin Klein crop-top, a black slim crayon leather skirt, a golden-black necklace with spikes, a pair of leather gloves, really high golden sandal high-heels, and a lot of golden and silver rings . I was waiting there for her. When she came out, she seemed so happy.

-Okay, maybe that was a little too much highlighter., I said and we both giggled.

 Than we ran to our class. Everyone's eyes were on us. They actually were looking at me more than they did at Lettie. They weren't used to see me with dark-wine lips, looking and behaving myself like a bad-ass. They were used to Lettie, since no one noticed her crying in the morning, and literally wearing a sack. After the school, me, Lettie, Leo and his friends went to hang out. We went to a precipice, but this time, under us was a lake. Since we had no swimsuits, we just decided to swim in our under wear. I was wearing a pair of black lace panties and a push-up bra. I saw Lettie struggling and went towards her.

-What's wrong?

-I have no bra.

-Jezz.

-What should I do?

-Just keep the top on yourself.

-But I'll make it wet.

-It's not a big deal.

-Thanks!

-I hope you have panties on.

-It's not funny!

 We laughed and went swimming.

 We were having fun. Jumping from enormous highs. Playing in the water. Chatting, Smoking, Drinking beer. It was fun. Scarlett was flirting with a guy called Charlie. At the end of the day, these guy were already making out in front of us.

-Go get a goddamn room!, I yelled throwing a towel in them. All of us were laughing.

 At the end of the day, they drove me home. I kissed my boyfriend as a goodbye, and went home. The lights were switched off.

-Creepy.

-Call them.

-MOM!DAD!

-Stop yelling you idiot, call them, you've got a phone for that.

 I quickly took my phone from my purse, and called dad. After a few seconds he picked up.

-Dad, where are you? Why are you still not home?

-Lucy, I-I...
