Some Strings Attached

Do I want to know?

He wasn't here. He didn't pick me up?! At the moment I was standing outside the airport, bags in hand waiting for him to drive up. I was so tempted to walk across the street to the mall. So. Tempted.

Ah, what the hell. I walked inside and immediately saw a Brandy Melville. I rushed into there excited, mostly because I couldn't usually afford it.

To say I went crazy was an understatement. I bought two knitted cardigans; one black, one beige, one jean blouse, a pair of high waisted jeggings, 1 crop/tanktop and a pair of cotton shorts. I went to a bunch of other stores after that.

Garage: 5 scrunchies and a pair of booty shorts

LaSenza: white bra and and pair of booty shorts and a thong

Zara: Ripped jeans and black t-shirt

Claires: A LOT of new earings

and many more stores. I spent about 600$ oops.

I was now standing at the beauty salon. I needed something different with my hair.

"Hello, what can we do for you?" A peppy blond asked from the counter. I cringed and I shrugged,

"Im not really quite sure." I admitted.

She gasped, "You're a brit?! Im sooo jealous! Oh and, I think a simple hair dye would look awesome with your type of hair." She reached over and felt my hair, as if I was a damn cat. Ohh she bothered me.

"Great." I fake smiled. She clapped her hands together and led me to a chair.

☹͏͏

"You ready?" The girl who's name was Maddy squealed. She wasn't all that bad actually, we had a lot in common and reminded me of Stace. A lot.

"Yeah,Yeah just show me." She turned me around to the mirror and gasped. My hair was... beautiful. It was now a mauve colour and was in soft curls, she did my makeup as well, I didn't mind though. I looked, pretty?

I grabbed my shopping bags and rushed over to the bathroom, Maddy following close behind me.

"Whats wrong!?" she shouted as I entered the stall.

"Nothing one sec." I slipped on my dark floral skirt from h&m to match my hair and kept my white shirt on, as well as my white converse. I put on the beige cardigan and left the stall. I looked in the mirror and smiled and felt Maddy's gaze on me. I went in my Claires bag and Put earrings in all holes and put a necklace with 'T' on it. I loved my new look to say the least.

"Im so jealous I want to flush you down the toilet." So much like Stacy.

"Jealousy is a ugly thing babe." I winked and put some eyeliner and light pink lipstick.

"I wish you were an ugly thing." She hissed.

"Shut up, your gorgeous, come here." she walked over hesitantly,

I out my red lipstick on her and gave her the smoky eye. She looked at herself in the mirror in awe. I smiled at her and took her hair in my hands and folded it so it looked like it was at her shoulders.

"Even better." I smiled.

Her smile was the size of jupiter and she hugged me.

"We are going to be friends." She demanded.

"Are we now?" I smirked and she pulled away.

"British." she whispered and pulled me back. We both laughed and went back to the chairs for her new look.

☹͏͏

"Here we are."

After the girly crap, Maddy ended her shift and closed the shop to give me a ride, which I gratefully accepted. I had managed to get the address to the apartement from my mother, she certainly wasn't happy about the fact that he stood me up.

" Uhh, do you want to come inside? Please?" I said looking at the entrance.

"Sure! Come." she said rushing over to the entrance, I stepped out and let the summer air welcome me. By the time I got to the door Maddy was holding the door opened for me.

"How'd you open it? Don't you have to buzz in?!"

" Oh yeah, my big brother lives here, so I got a key." she told me waving it in front of my face. I nodded and walked in after her,

" Which room?" she asked beginning to walk up the stairs,

"um third floor, room 216." she laughed

"What?" I asked slightly nervous,

"No'in" she winked and walked up to the door and knocked.

I never saw Oliver, nor had I ever known he had moved to boston, so I was slightly curious about him, appearance wise.

The door opened slowly and there stood a... very, attractive man. His blonde hair was messy but well kept, he wore glasses that framed his blue eyes and cute nose. He had on a white v-neck and grey sweatpants. I let my eyes wander to his black lip ring and pink lips. He was hot.

"Who are you?" He looked me up and down then back at Sta-Maddy.

"British." Maddy whispered to herself and blushed. She recovered and began, "She," Maddy gestured to me,

"I'm Australian."

"Really? Did you move to Greenwich when you were younger?"
He looked afraid, "Um, yeah."

"I am not a stalker! This is your new roommate."

His expression went from confused to angry in a second.

"Where were you?! I waited 3 fucking hours at the luggage claim! You don't even have red hair!"

SHIT!

"Omg. I am so sorry I absolutely forgot all about you picking me up there! My hair is strawberry blonde by the way, not red."

He grunted and left the entrance and entered the apartment. I turned back to Maddy and saw she was checking him out.

"You need jesus. I have to go, text me?"

"Yeah,yeah." she said still starring after Oliver. I slammed the door in her face to wake her up from her day dream. I was going to get a lot of shit from her later for that.

☹͏͏

"WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!?" I cannot believe it.

After I kicked Maddy out, I went and apologized to Oliver, since I felt horrible, he accepted.
So excuse me for thinking we were on good terms!

"YOU ATE MY CAKE! DO YOU KNOW HOW HUNGRY I AM RIGHT NOW!?" I stormed into the living room and saw him holding the last piece in front of his face.

I sprinted towards him and reached for the fork, right when he put it in his mouth. At this point I was going too fast so I rammed right into the chair. I fell on my ars groaning in pain.

And of course, Oliver was laughing his ass off. He stood up, and put the plate that had 1 crumb on it in front of me, patted my head and walked into his room.

"Asshole." I was so getting him back for that.

☹͏͏

Until next time...
