A Blooming Beauty

Chapter 22

Dylan came to the party a few minutes before we had to start the plan. At first, he didn't even recognize me and asked if he could but me a drink. I looked at Jessica and she looked sort of heartbroken. Then she told Dylan about the plan and he realized it was me. We all laughed about him but Jessica stayed quiet.

We introduced Dylan to Carter and they became instant bros. Although they seemed so different, they were so alike.

Carter nudged me and pointed towards Thomas' group of friends. He stood up and walked towards the bar to get a drink. I smiled towards him and walked towards the bar as well. I sat in the vacant seat beside him and ordered a drink.

I could feel him watching me, I smiled and spun my chair to face him.

"Liking what you see?" I said in my most flirtatious voice. He bit his lip and scanned me from head to toe.

"Im Thomas." He said winking at me. "Do I know you?"

"Im new in town." I lied.

"You just look kind of familiar." he said. I held my breath. If he found out my true identity, I'd ruin the plan and these guys will never stop picking on people.

"Oh well." He shrugged. "Wanna dance?" I nodded my head and we proceeded to the middle of the room. The music was booming and we started dancing, with lots of sweaty teenagers grinding beside us. Our bodies moved in sync and I glanced towards Carter, where he seemed worried. I gave him a reassuring smile and winked at him and his lips immediately curved into a smile, which made my heart flutter.

After a few more minutes of dancing, we sat down in a much quieter part of the house. As we sat down, he stared at me but I looked away, pretending to be uninterested.

"They like it when you play hard to get" Jessica had said to me a few days ago. I looked at her, confused. "Boy logic." she answered and we laughed.

I looked back at him, to find him looking at my chest. Perv. His head immediately shot up and pretended like he wasnt just staring at my boobs.

He smiled at me and scooted a little closer, then rested his hand on my thigh.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" He said.

"No." I replied. I technically was telling the truth because Carter wasnt exactly officially my boyfriend.

"Good." He winked and smashed his lips on mine. A soft moan escaped my mouth and I pulled away.

"Close your eyes." I said.

"Why?"

"I have a surprise." I whispered in his ear. God I was disgusted with myself. I hated slutty girls, and now Im acting like one.

Oh the irony.

I grabbed a small handkerchief nearby and tied it around his head. I straddled him and his lips immediately broke into a smile. I put my arms around him and he put his around my waist. I continued kissing him and his hand went under my shirt.

Usually kissing this guy would make my heart beat faster and make my stomach knot, but all I could think of was Carter.

His kisses weren't rough, they were soft and sweet. He wouldn't have let his hand slide under my shirt, or shove his tongue down some random girls throat. I could just imagine how brave he was right now, to see me kissing someone that isnt him.

I quickly pulled away and stood up before things got out of hand. "Youre such a good kisser." he said, his voice lustful.

Ew.

"Dont take it off." I said just before he was able to untie the blindfold. "I have another surprise."

He smiled as I pulled him back into the dance floor. I looked around, trying to find Bethany, Dylan, Jessica or Carter, but none of them were in sight. I quickly spotted a familiar brunette and signaled her. She gave me a thumbs up and ran towards the corner of the room, where a string was dangling from the ceiling. I looked around to see that Monica and the other jocks were in place as well. I walked closer to Thomas and whispered in his ear.

"Surprise." I said in a nerdy voice.

"What the fuck?" he laughed. I ran a few feet away as Beth pulled the rope.

I looked up at the ceiling and just as planned, the string triggered 2 buckets to tip and release goo on them. The red slime splashed on them and the music stopped playing and everyone stopped dancing to see what happened.

Monica shrieked and Thomas untied his blindfold.

"What the fuck??" He shouted.

"Surprise." I said doing jazz hands.

Monica stiffly walked towards us and looked at me.

"You bitch!" she pointed at me. "Why are you even hanging out with her?" she said to Thomas.

"You know her?" he said.

"Who doesnt?? Biggest loser in West Brook Blair Thompson!" She laughed but nobody else did.

"Blair?" He said. "What the hell happened to you?"

"You did." I smirked.

"Ooooh Tommy got played!" someone from the crowd shouted and the rest of the crowd shouted as well.

You could almost see Monica turning red as a tomato. She was so angry I thought her head was going to explode.

"She's just that fucking nerd from school!" She shouted pointing at me.

"A hot one!" Someone else from the crowd shouted and they laughed.

And for the first time, they weren't laughing at me.

"Ugh!" she shouted. "Lily!? How could you let her do this?"

"Do what?" Lily replied. "Cant you take a practical joke?" she said as the crowd cheered her on. "About time someone taught you a lesson." I gave her a smile and she gave me a thumbs up. Monica stormed outside the house, with the other jocks and her little cronies following after her. The crowd got back to dancing as I approached Lily.

"Sorry about your floor." I laughed.

"Dont sweat it." she smiled. "The cleaners will clean it up in a second!"

"Thanks Lily. For letting me do all this."

"No girl. Thank you, because you're the only person who had the guts to teach those guys a lesson." She smiled as her brother walked beside her.

"That was awesome Thompson." he commended and walked back to the dance floor.

I thanked Lily again and walked into the kitchen to get some food and drinks with Dylan.

And you'll never guess what I found.
