The Deception of Change

The Deception of Change 1

~CHAPTER 1~

"Aria, what do you think of this dress"

That's my best friend Sam. She is probably the biggest girlie girl you will ever meet, right down to the hot pink nail polish.

"Yah Sam its great."

It really is great. It is a strapless, perwinkle dress with lace sticking out of the tops and the bottoms and to top it all off on the side is a decent sized bow that accentuates Sam's model-sized waist. I on the other hand have curves in all the right places. It's not like I'm big but i have all the curves that guys swoon over.

"Are you almost done. I really need to get home to study for my calculus test tomorrow."

You see today is Sunday and its the beginning of Sam and I's junior year at Ford High School. Tomorrow I have my first test of the year and if I want to get into Yale I really need to keep my A-game on. But instead of studying im here, at the Christiana Mall, shopping for a dress for the homecoming dance that is in 10 days. Wohooo (note the sarcasm)

"Yah know, Aria you really need to appreciate shopping. I mean i said i would buy you a dress for the dance, but instead of taking up my offer your just standing there waiting for me to be done."

I hate dances! I have always hated dances and parties since that summer hardly even a year ago. And she know this. So why is she going to bring it up. I have not a clue. I told her what happened at Junior's party and for some reason she still has to make me feel bad. I shouldn't feel bad! What happened at Junior's party wasn't my fault, I mean he didn't need to do that to me. Gosh i hate parties and from now on I will never be in another relationship again after that party. It has changed my veiws on how guys can be such pigs and have no feelings for anybody except for their manhood. After I kept on replaying the events of Junior's party in my head, for some odd reason tears sprang to my eyes and just like that i was crying. Crying for what i lost and what happened that summer.

Just then Sam came out in normal clothes after changing out of her new dress. Her face crumbled when she saw my puffy eyes and the trails the tears left behind.

"Oh. My. Gosh. Aria I am so sorry i didn't mean it like that. You know i didn't"

Sam always says things she doesn't mean. After her parents have divorced she feels the need to indulge herself in anything and everything, including putting people down, even her best friend. You guess are probably wondering why I'm even friends with her. Well in 2nd grade she stood up for me when nobody else would. Some kid was making fun of me because i was adopted and my adopted parents are drunks. To this day i still don't know how that stupid 2nd grader got all this info on my personal life. I never told anybody because i didn't want to be in a situation just like that one. Sam was the only person out of my 30 student class that stood up for me and shoved the girl, without even breaking a sweat. Since that day we have been best friends. Even with here snobby attitude she can be a genuinely nice person.

"Aria, I'll tell you what. We can go now so you can go study"

"Okay, I'm sorry to break down like this. I thought i was over this by now"

"Sweetie, it takes time. But come let's get out of here" Sam said while embracing me in a hug. After a few short minutes, and my tears stopped, we finally left the mall.

" So my mom was thinking about......" Sam always talks about her and only her. When she is like this i tend to zone out just thinking about everything, and this is one of those moments. Me just zoning out as we walk to my baby, my Jeep Rubicon.

"Oh. My. God. Aria look out!" What is Sam talking about now? Right when i look at Sam's shocked face a car zooms passed me at at leas 90 mph and rams right into a tree at the edge of a forest at the end of the parking lot.

"Aria! Aria!"

"huh? what? What happened"

"Are you okay? That dumb ass in that hummer was going like 90 mph in a friggin' parking lot. You almost got hit! OMG your shaking." Just as she said this i looked at my hands and i was shaking like crazy. The realization of me almost dieing set in and i think i was going into shock. As much as i tried, i couldn't stop my entire body from shacking horribly.

"Aria whatever you do, don't look down at your leg" Sam said looking at my leg with a shocked expression. When that crazy dude drove by Sam shoved me out of the way so the car wouldn't hit me. I guess i must have gotten road rash or something, but by the feel of all of the thick, sticky substance oozing out of my skin, it had to have been deeper, As i looked over at the hummer totaled by a nearby tree and guy with glowing white fluorescent eyes growled and zoomed into the forest at lightning fast speed. What. The. Heck. Was. That?

"Hey Sam can you go check and see if the guy in the hummer is okay? He took on a pretty big crash."

"What? No Aria i'm not leaving you in this condition. You need to get to the hospital asap"

Great another thing i don't like. Hospitals. It's funny how one little thing happening at a party can change how you act for the rest of your life.

"Just please Sam. Go check and i promise I'll go to the hospital to get my leg checked out."

"Whatever"

As Sam jogged over to inspect the hummer, I couldn't help but think about the boy who ran into the woods. He was so beautiful but he had an aura about him that made you want to run the other way.

"Aria...nobody...is in that car" Sam said through heavy breathes from jogging all the way back to me.

And with just that little sentence all my fears and thoughts were changed into reality, causing my life to be changed upside down, yet again.

So what do ya think??? Yes, No, Maybe so??
