After school it was time to go home and get ready for the fair. Ash picked me up and I got all of my homework out of the way. The fair is from 5-9. Most people would just go to the fair in the same clothes they wore to school but I am not most people. I am Queen Bee. After Ash drove me home, I began the look. This cannot be just any look oh no. This has to be the look of all night fun.

Hair
Loose curled ponytail

Makeup
Neutral face
Purple smokey eye

Outfit
Flowy silk spaghetti strap shirt
High waisted dark wash jeans
White low top converse

After I got dressed I scrolled through Instagram for a little bit. Sarah posted a picture of her and her boyfriend about to leave for the fair. It has been a week and she is lovestruck. Her boyfriend, Zayn, is the hottest new kid to the school.

It was the start of 10th grade and Zayn showed up at my locker. Of course I gave a little hair flick for some flirt but after taking a closer look he wasn't for me. Then he was really nerdy but I befriended him and gave him a makeover. To this day he is still one of my best friends. And not Instagram best friends...real best friends.

Eventually, I hooked him up with Sarah but he got stuck in the friend zone for a few months until last week. He went up to her and just kissed her. Sarah was pretty shocked but after she got over herself she changed his name in her phone from Zayn to Babe😍😍😍. They are a pretty cute couple. Sarah is the cheer captain and Zayn is the runner back.

Kevin and I are the step up from them. Kevin is the quarterback. He is kind of a big deal in school and out. Channing Tatum is his brother and his parents are media moguls. My parents are pretty much moguls of everything with value. We make the equivalent of Beyoncé and Jay Z in high school. Kevin is actually really nice. Unlike his brother, he doesn't have dyslexia but he is really smart.

Fair

When I showed up to the fair with Kevin arm in arm, I was greeted by Sarah, Brittany, Zayn, and a bunch of other kids from school. I asked Ash if she could come with her boyfriend, Justin, but she had to film Pretty Little Liars and a new project that she's working on.

The cool thing about the fair is that you get unlimited rides...all night. We started out by just walking around the grounds. I actually wanted to ride some rides. Brittany continued to complain about how the warm weather was messing up her hair. After about 3 mini tantrums from her I excused myself and grabbed her arm. Everyone waited for me. Great. I dragged her behind the nearest tree and started.
"Brittany, shut up!"
"What do you mean Emily?"
"Stop throwing a fit and shut up," I continued,"this is my night and you need to get out of the way."

Walks away

I came back to the group and smiled politely. We continued walking and Brittany caught up. She didn't complain about anything. All that she did was try flirting with Zayn. Sarah gave her "the look" of get off my man. She continued but Zayn just brushed it off. He is actually really cool like that. We are still best friends.

Once everyone calmed down, we started to ride rides. There were only 12 of us as a group so we split up into 6 so we could get more rides done. When you have 12 people trying to ride the same ride and be next to each other in carts, it can get crazy. In my group I had Kevin, Zayn, Sarah, Courtney, and Jay. Courtney is the assistant cheer captain. She is okay I guess but we're not serious friends or anything like that. Jay is her boyfriend. He is really not that cute to me but he does have cute eyes.

This was the group of the taken. I did this on purpose so that we can each have our own cart but still be together. This comes in handy especially on the ferris wheel and bumper carts. The other group is the group of the singles. Brittany, Kennedy, Darryl, Xavier, Wren, and Jack. Wren is the only one that I wish I could have in my group. She is actually really nice and my second best friend after Sarah. Wren is this tall tan brunette who could be my twin except for the hair of course. I'm a blonde and she's not. We have talked it out and if I go missing she will be the one to cover for me. My hairdresser already knows to dye her hair in that situation. Of course that would never happen because well you know.

We first started by going to the bumper cars. We grouped in by couples. The cars were great. My hair swished in the wind into Kevin's face. He smiled and leaned over to kiss me. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Zayn give me a thumbs up and Sarah plant a kiss on his cheek. They are so cute.

For the remainder of the ride we just bumped into each other occasionally to keep it going but we all had a really good time. At least I had a good time. Courtney seemed really uncomfortable but she is a little "thick". Let's just say that she isn't exactly your Polly Pocket if you know what I mean.

With my whole look going on, I have to stay model thin. I have heard rumors of people calling me anorexic. At a time that was true in Texas during 8th and 9th. In 8th grade I was a little chunky and I met this girl named Rebecca. Rebecca was this adopted chick from Texas. Her new parents were...interesting. Her mom was a bikini model and her dad was in advertising. Her dad was kind of strict but her mom was actually really nice. The thing about her dad was that he beat her mother. When I say mother and father I mean adopted parents. As a bikini model she had to cancel on a lot of jobs. In all of this mix, Rebecca stopped eating and persuaded me to start too. When I was 13-14, I was a follower sometimes. I hadn't really developed a sense of independence yet. I stopped eating and just drank water. Of course I was skinny, but I had pale skin and thin hair. My parents started to worry and took me to get help. I missed 9 weeks of school and then I was homeschooled. Rebecca and I never spoke again. All I know is that she couldn't push herself to stop starving herself. Right before I left, she mentioned something about taking 5 of the Advils from the nurse's office. She was acting really cool and chill but she also looked drunk. The rumors were true at a time but know I just work out and eat healthy. It took a while, but I got back on track after I got help.

For the rest of the fair, we just hung out. Nothing really happened. 3 girls stopped me to take a picture with them, but other than that it was chill. Even if I am not a celebrity, I go to events with my sister and we have parties all the time. I want to be a model so I network with Shay Mitchell and her friends to get gigs for next summer. We all had a great time.
