Everybody Needs A Cupid

Chapter 2

"So Autumn, coming to Jackson's party tonight?" Ashley asked me as we walked to class together. Today is Friday and like I said the week was long. I had to give out so much advice. Like yeesh give me a break people. I mean, i'm supposed to help but, three quarters of the calls from girls were about how to get that dumb new guy Taylor. What upsets me though is that, all these girls want advice, and it's obvious he has no interest whatsoever.

The guys who call or text, are more focused on trying to get their girls to pay more attention to them rather than Taylor. The guy has only been here for a week and is already the most popular boy in the school. This week was super stressful. Hopefully, in the next week, all the commotion will die down.

Oh, one more thing that made it even more stressful. Did I fail to mention that we have new neighbors? Whose son blasts music in his room every night. I could probably deal if the room wasn't directly opposite of mine. To top it all of, those new neighbors happen to be Taylor and his parents. Why does the universe have to hate me?

"I think I will go to the party Ash". Truth is I need a break. "Uum i'll pick you up at eight?" I asked.

"Cool".

Taylor is in most my classes so every time I see him, we just glare at each other. I think he sensed my hatred for him on the first day. Speak of the devil, Taylor walked in the class looking like the complete badass he is. It's like he doesn't even try. I hope he isn't coming to the party. Why did I have to think that?

"Hey Taylor!" Jake said. "Over here" he waved, Taylor came over and sat on the opposite side of Jake.

"What's up man?" He asked Jake.

"I'm cool. So you coming to that party tonight?" Wow what a great best friend I have. Note how sarcastic I am being. Jake should totally catch on by now that I don't really like him.

"Yeah I will see if I can make it" he says, making his way to his seat at the back of the class.

I turned to Jake and shot him a look. "Thanks alot". I mumbled to myself, but I think he heard me, because he turned to me "my bad" he said, raising his hands in a sign of surrender. "Whatever" I replied.

Maybe i'm overreacting I said to myself while turning around, and looking at Taylor. He looked up at me and shot me a glare, which I happily returned. I am so not giving him the satisfaction of not going to the party, because of him.

Hopefully Taylor and I don't even have to run into each other. If we do i'll just turn around, and walk in the other direction. Yeah that's exactly what I will do.

I stepped out of the shower, and slipped on my pink robe. Right now i'm getting ready for the party, and am extremely annoyed with the music blasting next to me. Does he have to do this everyday? I let out a big breath. Tonight is your night to just relax and have fun Autumn.

I did my hair Time for make up. I applied some face powder, and a hint of blush, tinting my cheeks the slightest bit of pink. I put on some winged eyeliner, and mascara, then added a little red eye shadow. I brushed my teeth, then put on the brightest red lipstick I owned.

Dressing time. I put on my red, sleeveless, crop top, then pulled on my black, leather pants. I was planning to wear my red pumps, but instead, I pulled on my red wedges. Now all I have to do is look for jewelry.

I grabbed some big gold hoops, and a gold, heart necklace, that had the word love imprinted on it. I put on my bangles, and gold watch too.

I looked at myself in the mirror. "I did a good job, cause I look hot!" I grabbed my phone, and red, heart shaped, purse, heading downstairs. "Bye mom!" I shouted.

"Where are you going?" She asked. "I told you already, i'm going to the party".

"Oh, ok I thought you changed your mind, that's all".

"Oh, bye" I said kissing her cheek.

"Bye honey". She replied smiling. "Be safe".

"Love you!" I shouted closing the door behind me. I entered my car, as I was reversing out my garage, when I saw Taylor getting onto his bike. He looked nice, okay nice is an understatement, i'm not going into detail but from what I could see, he wore a black t and a camo jean pants.

I drove to Ashley's house, and entered. Not bothering to ring the doorbell, I mean it's practically my second home. "Autumn! Is that you?" Her mom shouted from the kitchen.

"Yeah, it's me Vicky!" I yelled back. Ashley's mom is so cool. She told me not to call her Mrs. M, for Moore, because it makes her sound old. "Ash is in her room!" She yelled.

Just then Ashley came down the stairs. "Wow, you clean up good", I told her. "You're not so bad yourself, hot stuff". She replied smiling.

She wore a black, sleeveless top, with a padded cup, and a hot pink high-low skirt. Her shoes, were black pumps. Her hair fell straight down around her face, making her look more mature. "Bye mom!" She yelled as we left the house.

We drove a quick ride to Jackson's while singing Drunk in Love by Beyoncé, quite out of tune. Just for fun though because we both have amazing voices. We arrived, at the party and did a quick check up in our mirrors. "Ready?" I asked.

"Of course, it's time to partayy!" Ash yelled, while we got out the car. The music was super loud, and we were a good distance away from the house, so by the time we got to the door it was deafening.

"Call me when you're ready, or i'll call you!" I shouted to Ashley.

"No problem, bye!" She shouted back disappearing into the crowd.

Wow, just like that. I can really feel the love.
