"Betty!!" I heard an all-too-familiar voice scream my name.
Uh oh. I'm guessing she has seen it. So it's really that bad. My cue to run. Fast.
So I'm sure you're like very confused right now. Let me introduce you to my world. Hi, my name is Betty Sparks and I'm twenty. I am a very unnatural person -according to my mom and basically everyone else I have met- and I adore ice-cream. I'm out of college and I'm still trying to fulfill my dream of becoming a fashion designer. I live in an immensely massive mansion with my best friends; Sasha Bliss, Raven Stones and Tallulah Brooke. I know, weird surnames.
(A/N: If your surname is one of those mentioned above, no offense. It was a practical joke. )
I have black, thick, woolly hair. See, the part of me that surprises everyone is my skin colour. I'm dark skinned, somewhere between an African and an Australian.
I'm adopted so my parents don't know where I'm from. What baffles me is the fact that they named me Betty. Seriously, who does that! Anyways, I'm currently trying to jump through my window to escape from Sasha. Why, you may ask. To answer that, we may have to back up to a few hours ago.
*A Few Hours Ago*
"SASHA!!" I screamed into her ear to get her to wake up. She didn't even budge. Gosh, she's such a heavy sleeper. I rolled her off the bed and she landed on the ground with a soft thud. Even Raven whose room was opposite Tallulah's whose room was down the hallway was awake. And it was Saturday.
I jumped down from the bed and started dragging Sasha out of the room. Trust me on this,she weighed a ton. Normally, I'm very fit. But then I have an extremely petite body and it seemed like all the food I eat goes straight to my ass and boobs. Never to my height. Oh well.
By the time I got to Tallulah's room, I was sweating like an overheated car. I know, cars don't sweat. Whatever.
So, as I was saying before I distracted myself, I knocked on Tallulah's door, waiting for her to open. After a while, I knocked again. When she didn't answer, I got impatient.
"Tally, come on open the door, I have an equation I need you to solve for me." I told her. I laughed in my head at my dry joke.(Tally as in maths, get it? Solve an equation? Oh never mind).
I finally lost my patience and barged into her room.
"Tally ,you've lost your sense of -oh. I didn't know you were busy. Sorry" I babbled on as I left with the sound of Tally's laughter echoing behind me. I didn't know that her boyfriend, Rick was around. Put two and two together and guess what she was busy doing. My eyes are scarred for life.
"I would have been amused by the fact that you're trying to wake Sasha up but I'm too sleepy to care" Raven said as she got out of her room to head towards the kitchen.
I was slightly amused by that.
"Good morning to you too Raven" I called after her. She just grunted. I chuckled at that.
Anyways, I continued my quest of dragging Sasha. This time, I was heading to Raven's room. Once I got in, I loosened my grip on Sasha and walked to the bed to sit and catch my breath. I was thinking of ways to wake Sasha up when an imaginary light bulb appeared on my head. I started grinning like an idiot as I formulated my stupid prank in my head.Raven walked in with a cup of coffee in her hand. Then she saw my signature look for 'I have a huge idea and I'm gonna get into trouble for it': I was just sitting down and smiling like a Cheshire cat.
"Whatever you're planning, count me out" she said as she walked to her dresser.
"Oh come on! All you have to do is to stall for time" I told her giving her my infamous puppy eyes.
She rolled her eyes at me and muttered 'fine' under her breath.
"So, tell me your genius plan that is so gonna take the world by storm" Raven said with a voice dripping with sarcasm as she plopped down beside me.
Sometimes, I think I'm the normal one in this house. Nah, just kidding. I proceeded to tell her my genius plan.
So, the plan was this: Bake Sasha in the gigantic oven.
Just joking. The real plan was this: I, the chemical guru, would send Raven, the babe who really doesn't give two shits about all this, to get Sasha's face mask. Then I would take it to my lab (it's actually Tally's) and conduct some experimental shit on it. At the end of this whole experiment, Sasha's face mask would be a temporary colorant. Raven would then proceed to apply the face mask to Sasha's face. When Sasha wakes up, she would look like an extra from Frankenstein II. Period.
The problem with my genius plan; neither of us were chemical gurus. We still carried out my plan anyways. I know right? Bad idea. But hey, what could possibly go wrong? I couldn't get any stupider.
Cut the long story short, we made a permanent colorant. At first, we didn't know. After applying it to Sasha's face, Raven suggested that we test-run it. So I used a little on my upper arm and tried to clean it off. It didn't come off. I decided not to panic and went to have my bath. I scrubbed my arm until it was red. Nothing happened. I dressed up, told Raven about the new found information. All she did was to put the blame on me. I tried everything to get it off. Heck, I even tried to bleach it off. No result.
By then, I was already in full panic mode. To make matters worse, Sasha woke up. Then I had another genius plan; Run away.
My plan was going well until...
"Betty!!" I heard an all-too-familiar voice scream my name.
Which brings us back to right now. I was currently climbing down the ladder that was propped against my windowsill.
Sasha brought her head out of the window to scream profanities at me. I looked at her face and I swear, I choked on my spit. Honest to God, she looked like Fiona in Shrek, complete with the red head. Fun fact; Sasha is a red head.
That was not the look I was going for, but this was way better than what I hoped for. I hopped off the ladder and took one last look at Sasha before I took off laughing.
Best. Prank. Ever.
