Hi, I'm Amanda. 15 going on 16. Rich, beautiful, smart, popular, and... in love. I have always had this crush on a guy that is sixteen. His name is Jake Almond. He never seems to notice me. Which I find it hard to believe considering I'm the most popular girl in the whole school.
It's 11th period, the last period of the day. I sit impatiently in Math class. I just want that bell to ring. After school, I was going to go look at venues for my Sweet Sixteen party. I was hoping that if I plan a big bash, maybe Jake will finally notice me. Jake wasn't exactly the most popular guy in the whole school. He love's art, music, and he's a nerd a little bit. He's very quiet. He's the exact opposite of me. But I like that. I don't want some snotty rich kid that my dad set me up with, I want a guy that will like me for me.Riiiinnnnnngggg!!!! I bolted up from my chair, and ran to my locker. I wanted out of here. My best friend, Abbey, was waiting for me at my locker. "Are you ready?" she asked. "More than ready!" I said. She smiled a big bright smile. I pulled my straight blonde hair into a high ponytail and put on my sweatshirt. "Ehmagawd what are you wearing?" Abbey asked me. "What I can't wear a sweatshirt?" I asked. "Oh sweetie, if you want to keep up your reputation, no you can't. Not unless you bought it from Saks." Abbey said. "This was my mother's" I said. "Oh, I'm sorry." Abbey said. My mother left me when I was two. She left this behind. I wear it almost everyday, to have something to remember her by.
Out in the parking lot, we darted for my 2011 Lexus. "I want to check out that club downtown. I heard it's super exclusive!" I said. "Yes! But what other venues were you thinking if you didn't get this one?" Abbey asked. "I was thinking of buying my own flat." I said I started the car and we drove. Did I mention I lived in London? We drove to the venue. "You really think your parents will let you rent your own flat?" Abbey asked. "I don't know, I hope. I mean, I'm mature enough and I am 16." I said. "Yes, clue word, sixteen! They totally won't let you. And flat's aren't big enough to hold a sweet sixteen." "I know, either I want a really big party here, or a really small party at my flat that consists of 30 exclusive people. And at the flat, we can drink." I said. "Okay, let's just see what the club says first..."
When we arrived to the venue where I wanted my party at, we walked out and met a guy. "Are you Amanda?" he asked. "I am!" I said proudly. "Okay, let's go inside and take a look." he said. We went inside and I looked around the club. It had a huge stage, lights, a huge dance floor! "This will be a great place!" I said. "It's neat." Abbey said. "So you want it?" he asked. "Yes, how much?" He told me the price and I handed him the money. It was expensive, but YOLO right? "Thank you!" I said. The Abbey and I left. "I need a sexy ass dress to wear." I said. "Ooo why? Who do you have your eye on?" "Uh um, a person." "Who?" "Jake Almond." "Jake Almond? The nerd?" she asked. "Please don't tell anyone." I said. "Jake Almond? He's cute and... wow." was all she said. Then we both went back to my too-big-of-a-house to plan the rest of my party.
