Bi-stressed

CHAPTER 24

After having a delicious meal at Aunt Steph's, Zac leaves me home.

I promised Luna that I would speak to her in the night. It's not too late so she's probably awake.

*"Hey."*

*"Hi."* Her reply comes in a second.

That was fast.

*"I miss you so much. Where have you been?"*

*"I'm sorry. I was busy."*

*"It's okay."*

*"Actually Zac had come over so I couldn't message."*

*"It's fine. I understand. Haven't you told me yet?"*

*"No not as yet."*

After having a short conversation with her, I go get my clothes ready for the morning. Tomorrow is the Christmas party and then I go on winter break. I'm so excited for Christmas this year. My first Christmas with Zac...

"Help me." I yell into my phone.

"In what?" Lyra says.

"What to wear tomorrow?"

"A swimsuit." She teases.

"Your not kidding right now!"

"I'm not." I hear her burst into a laughter.

"Who wears a swimsuit in fucking December?" I join her in laughter.
"Okay so I have this black and red criss cross neck designed crop top, with black ripped jeans and a black leather jacket."

"Oof. Damn girl. You'll look badass!"

"Thanks." I giggle. "And I have this black glittery crop top? Which one?"

"I can imagine how it'll look on you but send me the pictures anyway."

"Okay, hold on."

After sending her the images, she chooses the criss cross neck designed one.

"Leather jacket or jeans jacket?"

"Leather."

"Black boots or white sneakers?"

"White, uh no. Full black."

"Thanks alot."

"See, I have a good choice."

"That's why I asked for your help because my mind was going bonkers, trying repeatedly and deciding for the past 30 minutes." She giggles along with me.

Lyra has a good taste in dressing and plus she always gives the best advice. I love her so much. I have no idea what I would do if I didn't have to come across her.

After having a long conversation with her, she's off to bed.

It's only 10! Why does she sleep so fucking early?

Zac doesn't like the outfit I'm wearing. He's says it's too sexy and in others point of view it might look cheap, but who cares anyway.

I promised him to keep my jacket zipped up outside of school.

..

My alarm rings at 6:30 and I jump up and head towards the bathroom. After taking a shower, I put on my clothes and begin to dress up.

"Breakfast is ready!" My mom calls out from the kitchen.

"Can I skip breakfast today?"

"No. You're going nowhere empty stomach!"

"But..."

"I fried you egg and sausages. The loaf of bread is on the table. Go and eat now!"

"Okay." I sigh.

After breakfast, I do my make up. Not much just a little highlighter on my cheek bones and lip stick. I apply my favorite wine colour one. Can't go for a party without lipstick. I hate eye make up, especially liner. Everyone loves to do my eye makeup because of the shape of my eyes. Disney princess eyes, that's what Luna always called it. I apply slight mascara. That's the only thing I apply on my eyes unless there's a wedding or concert and eye makeup is necessary.

I use no base, no foundation, no concealer. I find that all crap.

I put on my round ear rings, brush through my straightened hair and put on my boots.

"Mom, I'm leaving."

"Okay, love you bye."

"Love you too." Giving her a kiss on the cheek, I hurry downstairs.

Every soul is staring at me as I reach down.

"Lexi you look hot!" A few girls in the van adulated me.

"Thanks."

The whole morning in school is spent in taking photographs.

"I love your jeans. They look so good on you. They're showing off your curves!" A junior passes a comment.

After a few minutes.

"I love your crop top. Where did you get that from?"

"Mantra!"

Can people stop admiring my outfit and the way it fits on my body and focus on my cute little face. The outfit, dark lipstick and highlighter gives me a badass demeanor. I like being called cute or beautiful rather than hot or badass.

Cutie.

I memorize Luna's word and her smile when I used to make a pouty face which seemed cute to her.

Zoe and me make a musically and a teacher praises our dance moves. I remember last year when Kim and me covered songs while crowds were gathered round us with phone flashes on us.

Good old memories...

I meet Lyra in class and give her a tight hug.

"Woah girl! You look badass as fuck." Lyra exclaims.

I laugh at her comment and thank her.

"You look gorgeous too." I compliment her.

"Hey! You look so beautiful."  Luna whispers into my ear.
