She Will Be Loved

Chapter 22: Red

At 5 am in the morning, Hanna burst into my room awaken the then in deep sleep self. She kept pulling me out of my bed and practically drag me into shower. She had to turn the water in a freezing level to get me to my senses.

"Wake up!" She yells as she turn the water even colder. My eyes would have pop out my socket when the cold water touched my bare skin.

"Shit!" I exclaimed.

"Good you're awake." Giving me a thumbs up and told me to finish up showering, while she picks out my outfit.

Dragging my feet back to my bed with 2 towels, wrapping my body and hair. I look at Hanna eagerly pairing my clothes with pouty lips and a finger tapping her chin.

"What color do you want? Red or pink?" She asks me without even glancing at me. "Red yells seductive and Pink is more sweet."

"I think..."

"Yeah, we should pick the red one." She picks it up and hands it to me. I stare down confused at the Forever 21 Red Pleated Flounce Cami top. "What are you waiting for? Wear it. Oh! This too." Taking a denim mini skirt from my drawer.

I tried the top and skirt she handed to me (of course after wearing undergarments). "We are going to school, just a reminder." I told her as I stare at myself at the mirror.

"I know, stupid." She roll her eyes at me.

"I am totally going to be dress-coded in these." I point out to her the about the overall outfit.

"If there was dress-coding in our school, Maxine and her friends would have gotten suspended already." She waves her hand nonchalantly at me like I have nothing to worry about.

"No, I am not wearing these." I went to my closet and pulled a shirt and jeans.

"No, no, no." She grab the pair out of my grasp. "May I remind you that we have a plan to make happen. Wearing these jeans and shirt won't even get you a glance from him."

"That's ridiculous. He'll definitely look at me, we're classmates and especially friends." I told her snatching my clothes from her.

We practically fought and got into an argument about the clothes I should wear for like an hour, then just settled for the top she picked and the jeans I wanted to wear.

"Are we good now?" She ask me rolling her eyes still annoyed.

"I can work with these." I nodded looking at myself, thinking I can wear a denim jacket above the top.

She threaten me to make me wear heels if I wouldn't let her do my make-up and hair. I usually just put in some mascara and tinted lip balm, then be off to school. Though she promised me that it'll be a no make-up make up look but chose to make me wear red matte lipstick. She curled my hair and probably half a bottle of hairspray.

"Let's go!" She lead the way downstairs.

Dean picked us up from the house. I'm currently having a tugging war with Hanna, she keeps stealing my jacket because she wants me to only wear the red top.

I don't really mind wearing these kind of tops to be honest, but the whole effort just seem nonsense. Because I know that whatever we try to do, it won't work for he already has someone he likes.

"Let go! Damn it!" Forcefully taking it out of my grasp and threw it at the hallway as far as she could. "I win!" She said patting her shoulder triumphantly.

"Hanna!" I exclaimed from her harsh action.

"What is going on with you two?" Dean shaking his head looking at Hanna and I.
