Daughter of the Guitarist

Chapter 16

In the morning I woke up Victoria and asked, "Do you take a shower before school?"

"Not usually but I smell like a swimming pool." She laughed.

"Okay you can either take one with me," I said, "or u can get in after, but if you do that you will have to hurry, we leave around seven fifteen."

"I'll just get in with you." She said smiling, "We're both girls anyway."

We laughed and got in the shower together. After we got out we stood in front of the mirror doing our hair. "You can use anything u want."

"Thanks," She smiled, "can I use your make up too?"

"Of course," I put my make up bag between us. "Use anything you want."

I dried my hair while she straightened hers. "I love your straightener," she said. "You don't have to dry your hair first."

"I know," I said laughing, "I got it from a girl in the home, she gave it to me when she left."

"That's cool." Victoria said putting on her make up. I straightened my hair too.

We took one last look in the mirror and went to my room to get dressed. I put on black skinny jeans, a black Avenged Sevenfold shirt with a red tank top underneath, and my black studded belt around the bottom of my shirt. I put on a black and white coral necklace and some bracelets. I fixed my shirt and belt, and put on my black and red DC skate shoes.

"Are you ready?" I asked.

"Yeah," Victoria answered, "u look so cute, girlie."

"So do you." She was wearing her Avenged Sevenfold shirt with blue skinny jeans and DC skate shoes.

"We match," I said laughing.

Victoria looked at my outfit, "Oh shit, we really do."

"This is funny." I said laughing. We grabbed our bags and headed downstairs arm in arm.

Dad was in the kitchen making coffee. "That smells amazing, dad, I'll take a cup."

"Do you want one, too?" Dad asked Victoria.

She shook her head, "No thank you."

Dad handed me my coffee and went outside to smoke. I followed him, lighting my cigarette. I offered one to Victoria, she took it and sat next to me.

"What do you think about us?" Dad asked Victoria.

"I like u guys so far." She smiled, "I'm not scared of you guys yet."

"Wait until you meet Jimmy, he's something else." I said laughing. "I wonder if he's human or not."

"That's mean, Bella." Dad said, "I sometimes wonder myself."

"That's mean, dad." I said mocking him with a smile.

We put out our cigarettes and went back inside. Victoria and I sprayed on some perfume and we left. Victoria and I parted ways and headed to class.

"See you in English," I called down the hall so she would hear me.

"You too loves," Victoria called back.

Algebra dragged on, Mrs. Miller had us take notes because we were going to have a test Wednesday. I was not looking forward to it; but I knew I was not going to fail it.

When the bell finally rang I was the first one out the door. I went to my locker and grabbed my English book. Victoria was already in her seat, she looked up at me and smiled. I dropped my bag and sat down laying my head in my arms. My head was killing me, fucking algebra. I reached into my bag and pulled out my Tylenol, without the teacher seeing, I took a couple and put them back in my bag.
