Dripped In Jealousy

Wing Women

My phone alarm woke me up the next morning, forcing me to get up and get ready for school. I groaned and shook the phone to make it shut up, and slowly sat up. It's 7am, and I am not a morning person at all.

I went straight into the shower to freshen up, and soon after, I was standing in front of the shopping bags from yesterday. I pulled out the red clothes and jewelry that Rhonda, the brunette from the store, helped me to choose. But there was this one dress that I wanted to wear today.

It was a silky sleeveless summer dress, and it was mid-thigh in length. I planned to pair it up with my red converse.

After putting that on, I went up to my mirror. I brushed my long raven hair, and decided to leave it down. Then, I put on my white pearl earrings and my golden locket.

I stared at the locket for a moment, opening it up. There was a small picture of my grandparents from my mother's side, who were still alive and well back in Mexico.

In the picture, mi abuela (my grandmother) and mi abuelo (my grandfather) are laughing, completely unaware of this close up picture being taken. My mom got her chubby body and hair from abuela. She looks like the older version of her. And abuelo had completely white hair and wore thick glasses. I love them both. They were fun people to hang out with. I can't wait to see them again.

I finished up by putting on a little lip gloss, and then I grabbed my backpack and hurried downstairs.

"¡Buenos días!" I shouted into the kitchen, and mami and papi turned to face me."Buenos días," they replied in unison. "You look all dressed up, Celine. What gives?" my dad asked, as both of my parents eyed my clothes with pure suspicion.

"Oh, this was what I bought at the mall yesterday. Do you like it?" I asked, doing a mini spin to show it off. "It's really nice honey. I just hope you won't be chased by any boys," my mom said with her thick Spanish accent.

"Don't worry mami. I can get rid of them as quickly as they come," I smiled. "If you say so," papi responded, resuming the consumption of his breakfast. Mom was finished eating hers, and so she went upstairs to grab her stuff so she could drive to work. I liked the fact that we all had our separate vehicles, but dad has two.

I sat down and ate the tortilla (omelette) mom made for breakfast, while dad finished up and cleared his area, placing the dirty dishes in the sink. "See you later, Celine," he said, leaving the kitchen.

"Bye dad," I responded, taking a sip of my orange juice.

I got out of my black Sedan, in the school's parking lot. Taking my bag with me, I started a steady trot to the school doors. After I entered the building, I headed straight for my locker, and sure enough, Livie, Hannah and Alice were there waiting for me. Hannah was the first to see me, and immediately shouted my name.

"Celine! We were beginning to think you weren't coming today," she said, engulfing me into a bear hug.

"Eh, it was a slow drive. You know how bitchy traffic can get," I told her with a smirk.

"Omg girl, you look sexy as fuck," Livie said, eyeing my body. "Ah, thanks baby. You look seductive too," I responded.

I realized then that Alice hasn't said anything since I came, but I realized she was wearing her clothes from the mall. Same leather jacket and leather jeans. She looked great. Not to mention Livie, who wore a black long sleeved blouse that hugged her nicely, tucked into the white mini-skirt.

"Hey Alice," I said with a small wave. "Hiya, Celine" she said with a small smile. I remembered about texting her last night, and then I suddenly had an idea.
