reckless ; a short story

12

So i'm back at school now, sadly. Brie is coming over in the morning to help me get ready, as usual. I'm really not looking forward to it though.

Brie is here, finally. she's wearing a simple white tee shirt with ripped jeans and a gray cardigan, and she's wearing my white converse. She curls her hair and does simple makeup, like she always does.

She picks out my outfits for me while I do my hair and makeup. I decide to go pretty heavy with my makeup today since it's rainy and humid. I do a simple dark smokey eye and put on false lashes, and top it off with a matte nude lip. But I've gotta make sure that highlight is poppin' so I put on Jeffree Star Cosmetics Skin Frost Highlighter. This product never fails me, i absolutely love it. After that I just straighten my hair and put on black ripped skinny jeans, a gray sweater, and my white nike's.

Then we get in Brie's dad's matte black Porsche and head to school. His porsche is so pretty, i love riding in it. Brie plays get favorite drake songs and sing every lyric. I look to her and smile, i'm so lucky to have such an amazing best friend.

When we get to school, it's a pretty boring day up until lunch time. I go to my locker after class to grab my purse and when I open my locker, there's roses with a note and a chanel bag. Inside the chanel bag is the Caviar Medium Double Flap Handbag, in pink. I have wanted this purse ever since it came out. I open the note, it says: "From your secret admirer, I hope you like it. ;) p.s. no returns, i wanna see you wear it. It will look astonishing on you". What the actual hell is going on?

I text Brie to come to my locker ASAP. She makes it here in like 30 seconds. This is why i love her. "What's wrong?!" She says, out of breath. "Look!" I say, handing her the note and motioning into my locker. "Holy fucking shit Kotah." She says smiling. "This is not cool bro!" I say laughing. "Dude that handbag is literally $5,000." Brie says. "i know!!" I say. "My dad bought my mom one for their anniversary and she made him take it back because it was so expensive, plus he had just bought her a Louis Vuitton Purse last year." She says. Brie's dad is a cardiovascular surgeon, best in the state. He's extraordinary. So is her mom, best prosecutor in the area, she's put away the worst of the worst. They're literally loaded with cash. I can only imagine.

"Wait Brie, how did someone find out my locker combination?" I say. "Maybe it's jeremy!" She says. "Maybe. I'll ask him at lunch." I tell her as I shut my locker and walk to the cafeteria.

As soon as I walk in I see so many faces, trying to see one putting that stuff in my locker, then my eyes travel until I find the face of Jeremy. I walk to him, sitting across from him at the circular table. "hello jer," I say, he looks up from his chicken salad, "hello" he says back. "or should i call you, secret admirer?" I say grinning. "huh?" he says making a weird face at me. "oh come on, cut the crap." i say. "what the hell are you talking about evans?" he asks, obviously confused. "oh shit." i say looking sassy from him. "what?" he asks. "someone put tons of roses and a 5,000 dollar handbag in my locker." i whisper to him. "what?!" he says louder than i'd wish. "it had a note that said it was from a secret admirer. i was hoping it was you just being silly." i told him. He looks pissed.

"you look stunning this morning mariana." he tells me. "why'd you change the subject?" i ask him, looking confused. "i changed the subject so i don't lose my goddamn mind." he says in a monotone voice, taking a bite of salad. "oh." i say, taking his fork and eating a bite of his salad, then grabbing my purse, waving bye and leaving the table.

After school, and after i've loaded all the shit from my locker into brie's porsche. as i'm about to get in the car, jeremy walks out and starts his motorcycle. "meet me at my house brie." i tell her closing the car door and walking to him.
