Chloe

"What do you think?" I turn around to ask Maddie. She shrugs her shoulders before going back to picking a pair of heels to wear. I look down at the skimpy black dress. A few months ago I wouldn't be got dead in anything like this but here I am now and if anyone say me in it I would have killed them.

"It's not you." She says quietly hoping I don't hear. I do hear, I don't care anyway. It's her choice.

"Maybe it's the new me." I tell her. Not that it will make a difference. She make her decision about me a while back. A threat. A threat to her popularity, a threat to all the boys who liked her and a threat to her lifestyle. Ever since I started to go to parties with her all the guys got interested in me. 

"Chloe look into the mirror and tell me who you see. I'll tell you who I see a girl who certainly isn't my dear friend Chloe Lukasiak. You've changed... into me." Maddie Laughs as she finish's her sentence. I guess she fines it funny that I'm like her.

"I see a confident young lady who gets all the guys." I say while laughing but Maddie doesn't seem amused. She just blankly stares at me. I guess she doesn't get my humor. Maddie was Maddie. Either happy or mad. It was obvious which one she was.

"Chloe its clear that your doing this to get back at josh. He moved on so you have to to." Maddie snarks at me. She knows about the Josh and Kalani scenario but since she's not a care in the world Maddie it doesn't matter to her. While were on the topic of Kalani, she switched schools. She said it was because her dad got a new job but everyone knew it was because she was humiliated by stealing my boyfriend. Before it I all I would be the one covering up for her but people change.

Josh on the other hand is as popular as ever but he will always be. He's a hyland and every Hyland is popular. Its still awkward passing him in the halls and bumping into each other on the street. He's moved on. Should I?

I shake my head and get back to getting ready. It was just an average house party but they always meant a lot to me. I have always been emotional and that's probably never going to change.

"What colour?" Maddie asks holding up to lipsticks that were almost excat same colour. I smile and roll me eyes before heading back to my make up table. I was trying to pick a necklace to go with her outfit. Only one stuck out though.

It was the necklace that Josh had given me on our first date and the one that I threw at him on our last. Who knew that a little necklace could mean so much.

Flashback

"Just take it Chloe, I still love you and want you to have it." Josh begs. 

Its been like that for a while know I think to myself. Everyday Josh would have a new excuse to come and talk to me. Today it was some stupid braclet that he gave me a while back. I didn't want it, it reminded me of josh who I did not want on my mind right now.

"Why don't you give it to Kalani. She loves taking my stuff anyways." I snark at him continueing to walk down the hall. I could care less about that braclet and I would really appreciated If he would stop talking about.

"It's meant for you, Chloe how many times do I have to tell you that?"

For the record Josh got a new girlfriend two days after that and he never talked to me in the halls again. He really proved to me that he loved me there,

Maddie must have noticed me staring at the braclet because she perked up to see what I was starring at then sat back down. She sighed before strapping up her shoes.

"Why don't you judt wear the braclet. Chloe, it's clear that you want to and you love the braclet. Just pretend josh didn't give it to you for the night and wear it because it's beautiful." Maddie was asking sweet.

I picked up the braclet and slipped it onto my wrist. I smiled to myself the I smiled at Maddie. I loved the braclet and I didn't care who gave it to me.

"Well it is a beautiful braclet and it does go great with my eyes... fine." Maddie won like always.

"Well don't we have a party to get to!" Maddie laughs as she pulls me down the stairs.
