Ellie:
That summer seemed to fly by in a haze. The kind of hazey feeling you get when maybe you took too much advil for that one headache or woke up at three am feeling as if you were still stuck between a nightmere and reality but quit sure what the difference was. Our new home was magnificent, as if my family was suddenly royalty all because of one death. The floors were all white marble, the walls had stone accents, there was a secret stair case case in the back of my mother's closet that lead to an all glass room on the roof, and the front doors were made of maple wood. I felt like a stranger in my body as I slept in king sized bed, sat on a marble and stone balcony, and worked at a local coffee shop washing dishes.
But time has passed by and I have come to feel at home, living naturally in a mansion as Ellie James whose brother was too protective and whose mother was always at work. And in two days I will start my senior year of high school. So in case you were wondering, yes, I have friends. Haley and Jessica whome I meet one day at work cleaning tables and we in about 24 hours we are going back to school clothes shopping because that's what girls do. I am so grateful to have them in my life. It's been easier to transition from one life to another with them by my side. They don't know the truth but they sensed their was a huge chunk missing so they took me under their wings and promised that things would be okay, that I "will meet our other friends when school strats up." Excited might be an over statement but i'm ready for a new life and i'm ready to focus on my "new" family and getting through senipor year.
-------- 24 hours later-------
Haley, jessica, and I are currently pilled in my black Lamborghini Veneno heading to the biggest outlet mall in Denver to buy an outfit for day one at Charubim High. The song "Girls" by The 1975 comes on and we all squell with excitment as I turn the volume all the way up and sing with the girls in unison.
"They're just girls breaking hearts
Eyes bright, uptight, just girls
But she can't be what you need if she's 17
They're just girls
They're just girls"
So yea the song isn't really shinning a positive light on girls but i think its lovely that someone that a guy finally wrote a song that's real. Not every single girl in the world is a perfect angel some of us are pretty visous. And before you freak out i am NOT saying that i'm one of those girls all i am saying is that they exist.
Pulling up the outlet mall and parking I turn the volume down and turn off the car jumping out and shutting the door. "Where to first ladies?" I ask as we walk through the arched enterence.
"I say we head over to Spicey Avenue!" Haley responded
Jessica quickly spoke u[p saying "Yea, I tink they're having a sale."
With that we turned left and walked towards the store. Looking around I came accross a black body hugging dress with a big deep red, blue, and yellow flowers accross it that came down mid-thigh with cut outs on each side of the waist. Emediatly I kenw this was the one, all I needed now was a pair heels and a bag to match. Looking around to see if Jessica or haley had found anything i saw they did. We met at the register and admired eachothers choices. Jessica chose a mini skirt with a blue paisley pattern and a matching crop top while Jessica chose a forest green maxi dress with golden accents.
Checking out we then headed to micheal kors to find a bag. After looking for about an hour we finally all found the perfect bag matching our outfits. Jessica found a golden hobo styled bag, Haley found a clean white bag with a bow on the front, and I found a structured bag in a deep blue. All that was left was to find shoes. Wondering into a nordstrom racks we all found shoes to match or outfits, Haley chose golden gladiater sandals, I picked out deep blue heels, and jessica bought a 90's style cut out bootie. So after an exhausting yet succsessful day we headed to my house to eat dinner and watch movies until we fell asleep.
-------- The next morning-------
We woke up to my alarm telling us it was time to get ready for day one of senior year. exactly one hour and fifteen minutes later we all standuing in the parking lot with all eyes on us as we struted into Charubim high school. For the first class we all had mrs. Danielle for Finite mathmatics. Finding an empty group of desks we sat together and waited for everyone to arrive. A boy who introduced himslef to me as Carter Reynolds sat in our "pod" as the teacher caslled them. Carter was friends with Jessica and haley so I emmediatly considered him one of mine. one minute before class was to start a boy who looked about 5'9" with brown hair styled upwards walked into class smirking at a group of boys sitting next to our group of tables who happened to friends with Carter. This boys eyes were chocolate brown and his teeth were so white theyw ere blinding and he was gorgeous. Jessica opulled out of my trabs poking me and whispering, "I would stay away from cameron. He's a huge heart throbe and he's hooked up with half the senior class, he's not really into dating if you know what I mean." Simply noding at her words I decided she was right, I should stay away and focus on school, family, friends. But I know that its going to be hard if that boy keeps smiling the way he is.
