World Of Odd

The Party

I was currently getting ready for Ed Donovan's party. Ed was my younger sister Marlee's friend, I've actually never met him. I looked at my appearance in the mirror and frowned. I was wearing a black and some black . Along with my black clothing I was wearing some black and white vans, the only comfortable shoes I owned that wasn't flip flops. For a little extra, I wore a black lacy . But I still looked pretty ugly. Maybe if I owned more nicer clothes I'd look better than right now, but hey!

I didn't own a lot of clothes, not as much as Marlee anyway. But It wasn't just 'cause I barely had clothes..I was just not a pretty person. My face was a round-ish shape and I sometimes had a double chin, which I dislike. Everyone always says I'm so beautiful, but I'm really not. I just don't see it. My thighs are chunky and I hate/dislike how they look when I wear pants that clung to them. I preferred pajama pants, but I can't wear them to a party. So I just found a hoodie that goes down to my knees. Problem solved, well... sorta.

My self-hating, self-conscious, depressing thoughts got interrupted when Marlee bursted into my room. She was wearing a really pretty red that went to her knees, the upper half was kinda tight, but the lower half was flowy. The sleeves were very thin, like a tank top. She looked at me oddly. ''Uhhhh, I thought we were going to a party.'' She said as she just eyed my clothes. "Yeah, well... I couldn't find any nice clothes so I thought I'd just wear this," I said to her as she gave me a glare.

I looked at her , they were a darker red and had a small heel. The heel part of them was black. I frowned a bit and looked down at my clothing, I looked very blah compared to Marlee. She looked like a princess. And me? I looked like I was gonna go to a grave yard, one where I wouldn't be judged for how I looked. All my friends were beautiful or handsome compared to me. And I knew I'd be frowned upon at the party because of my clothing choice...

''Well anyway I guess we are going to a party. It's just some of us don't always have the best of luck when getting free clothes,'' I mumbled as I grabbed my phone from the dresser next to me. I put it in the pocket of my hoodie. She walked over to my closet, looking through my clothes. I just shook my head and sighed, knowing she wouldn't find what she was looking for. I didn't have a bunch of cute dresses and skirts and shoes like her.

I hated wearing dresses, they weren't for people like me. I had one dress in my closet, it was black and looked kinda gothic. But I never wore it, just like any other dresses. Because, one, they were uncomfortable. Two, the cute ones are tight and wouldn't look good on a chunky person like me. And three, I just never fit into any of the free dresses we got from people.

She stopped looking in my closet, probably when she realized that all I had was hoodies and a couple shirts. Then she walked over to me and playfully slapped me, but it kinda stung. ''Go to the mall!'' She exclaimed and then throws some money at me, from her red and black Then she ran out of my room, going who knows where. Probably her room.

''Um..ow?'' I said as I raised my right eyebrow. I leaned down and picked up the money, it was a ten dollar bill and two fives. Like that'd do much. I snickered, and shoved the money in my hoodie pocket with my phone. My phone was a HTC Desire 610. It was a old phone, made 4 years ago, it was a hand-me-down. Though at least for once Marlee didn't have a better phone, she had a flip phone.

I looked in the mirror one more time to make sure I looked at last presentable, I used my fingers to brush through my hair real quick. Though I just really just needed to wash it, and re-dye it. The black hair dye was fading and my natural brown hair was starting to show. I also had dandruff, bad dandruff. I chewed on my bottom lip as I wondered if I should shower first. There was enough time, the party starts at 8, it was only 7 something.

I decided, why the heck not? Walking into the bathroom that was connected to my room, I hoped I still had shampoo. I always ran out of shampoo and conditioner fast. Mostly because I liked to use a lot when I washed my hair, even though I really didn't need to. My hair was only a bit below my shoulders and it was kinda thin. I wished my hair was thicker like Marlee's, hers was thick and it never got oily or got dandruff. Her hair was literally perfect.
