So I'm just sitting here waiting for my twinsister at the end of the school day like any other day.
I watch her as she walks down the stairs with Alastair Renwick .. The hottest quarterback in the school.
She snickers affectionately at him in response of something he said, and he smiles down at her affectionately.
Lately, it seems like I and Violet have switched roles. She's become more distant and more focused on attractive things namely boys and going to the mall .. Things, I figured, more fun than me. Now that has been one daily depressing thought.
Hey, don't get the feeling that I'm friendless I have just the friend I need and that's Nessie. Except recently she's been too involved in planning her prom dress and campaigning for prom queen.
"Hey V, Hi Alastair!" , says I as I walk up to them in an awkward manner (I'm really not the outgoing type)
"Hey Jules. What you being up to lately?" says Alastair. "Didn't see you at the party last night." Alastair gives me a wink.
"Oh I passed the night adoring my new bedside lamp and worshipping this new book I kinda stumbled on. You missed me?"
Violet scoffs, "Naaa!!! Don't bet on it He's just trying to make convo",Violet put in.
Alastair gives out this infectious laugh and I can't help but stare at his dimples. If only he knew he was my first crush since middle school.
"Hey tonight is Becks' party, remember?", says Alastair.
"How'd I forget when it's all you've been talking about all week?", Violet mumbles.
"Well that's what happens when you've got your friends back." Alastair replies.
I look from face to face feeling left out of the conversation.
Alastair has been our friend since middle school,but he'd taken to Violet initially. We'd gone on camp trips,and we did live in each others house practically, in fact we were kinda best friends come to think of it.
"We'll talk later" he said as we parted to our cars. "Jules, will I see you tonight?"
"Yeah .. I think so, I'll sleep on it" I reply
"Oh no you don't", He said as he slammed his car door shut. "You've got no time to drag that small butt of yours. Come on, it'd be fun!"
"I don't know but I might come", I tell him
"You're not using that on me this time.Pretty please!? I'm not giving up" He holds my arms and people stare. I can bet I'd be the hot gist by tomorrow morning. He gives me this doggy eyed look that makes my heart slam everytime. If only he knew he was the protagonist in my fantasies.
"OK! All right!! No need to cause a scene,ill be there, I promise "
"Yes! Trust you to be there,take care. And Violet, be sure to remove those ear plugs and drive her safely home"
"Roger that captain" ,Violet says, giving him a mock salute
I can't help but laugh at their exchange. Lately that's been me but I can't believe Alastair was begging Me to show up at the party!!! I'm sooooo excited!
"Violet,what do you say we do a little shopping for tonight? I don't think I have something new to wear"
"WAT!? When did 'Miss plain' start loving shopping" she put more emphasis on the 'shopping' and I rolled my eyes.
"Since Alastair asked me out to the party" , I reply
"Boy that must feel so good" she wiggled her brows and I couldn't help but laugh. Violet could tease for the world and sometimes with a dash of sarcasm and people would laugh and still find her fun. I've always wished that was a quality I had.
"So when you telling him?"
"Telling him what?"
"Awwwwww.. Here we go again! Tell him you like him, be a girl, girl!"
I laughed uncomfortably.. "Someday, Violet, someday."
