The Shades of Grey

The Shades of Grey- Chapter 14

CHAPTER 14

The Easter dance had been in April. Nothing huge happened until August. I'd been listening to Adam Lamberts 'Broken Open' at night because it made me think of flying. Sally had been made redundant as the leader of the popular girls. Instead she'd been lurking in the shadows, watching for a secret that would ruin me. I was made the leader of the pops. Monica and Claudia had decided that not only did I look good, but I was actually nice to them. I had been right about my boobs getting bigger. I'd gone from a B cup to a C cup in 3 weeks and they were now getting slightly bigger every 3 weeks. At first I found it weird, but I didn't mind so much now. My birthday was on the 31st of August. Conveniently my mum was going away to America for a special lingerie photo shoot. Even more convenient wad the fact that Aaron was going to band camp at the same time.

"You MUST have a house party for your birthday," Monica said.

"Yeah, you can invite EVERYONE," Claudia chimed in.

"I dunno guys, my mum sorta trusts me-" I began.

It's like there's a thing with interrupting in this group.

"You MUST, it'd make you even more popular," Claudia said.

It was true that I'd be alone in the house for a week before, during and after my birthday. And I was turning 16.

"Ok, but only if there's no alcohol," I said agreeably.

Claudia and Monica clapped their hands in joy, the same way seals do when they want food.

"We'll organise everything," Monica began planning.

"Except for your costume, you'll have to do that yourself," Claudia said, continuing with planning.

"Costume?" I asked, getting suspicious.

"well duh, it's going to be a costume party so of course you're gonna have a costume," Monica said in a 'matter-of-fact' voice.

I nodded. I knew exactly what to dress up as.

"Monica, you look fab,"

"OMG, Claudia you look hawt"

Monica and Claudia said to each other.

Monica's black wave was hidden by a long blue wig. She was wearing daisy dukes and a bikini top with plastic cakes the size of her boobs (DD) on each bikini cup. You guessed it; she was dressed as Katy Perry in the 'California Gurls' music video.

Claudia's red curls were also hidden, but this time by a platinum blonde wig. The wig had been put in curlers made from coke cans and she was wearing too much makeup, a black lacy bra, black booty shorts, fishnet stockings, black boots and a black leather jacket with rhinestones all over. You guessed it again; she was dressed as Lady Gaga in 'Telephone'.

My outfit was much simpler. A plain white dress that went to just below my knees. My hair was pinned up and my two silver bangs were hanging down. As a joke I was wearing two fake angel wings which were pretty good quality, but in comparison to my real wings they looked crude.

At 6:30 the first guests started arriving. I had a boy on the football team who I trusted check everyone for alcohol, and so far we were clean. I was very bored, until Harry came in. He was wearing a white t-shirt and jeans, and was also wearing a pair of fake wings. When I saw him I grinned. He was 30 minutes late, but he had made the whole party better for me. I walked to him and he gave me a huge hug, before kissing me full on. When we pulled apart a slow song had started. Harry put ones hand on my hip and the other on my back. I put both hands on his shoulders and my head on his right shoulder.

All was good in the world.

I was slow dancing with Harry. A slow dance that was interrupted.

"Hey bitch, looking slutty there," a nasty voice said. I looked up and narrowed my eyes when I saw who it was.

Sally.
