The Before and After Project (An Emblem3 Fanfiction)

Chapter 1

Gabby’s POV:

“You’re seriously going to go through with this?” Wesley asked, his eyebrows raised so high I thought they would fly off the top of his head.

“It’s an experiment Wes! Of course I’m gonna do it!” I laughed, rolling my eyes at his stupidity. Had he not learnt by now the extent of Kaylee’s nerdiness?

“You’re such a nerd!” he scoffed, and shoved me playfully.

“Hey! She’s the nerd here, I’m just her guinea pig…as always! And anyway, I won’t be a nerd by tomorrow!” I laughed shoving him back.

“So what’s this experiment supposed to achieve? Other than make you feel beautiful…”he trailed off, his eyes a source of confusion.

“HA. I doubt I’ll look even slightly beautiful…but I don’t know, she wants to see what will happen if I get a makeover and suddenly look hot. Which I won’t…but she wants to see if it’ll change anyone’s opinions of me.” I explained, grinning like an idiot.

I’d never been the typical girl. I wore baggy clothes, never wore makeup and my hair was always in a scruffy ponytail hidden behind the countless snapback’s I wore. Because of my little fashion statements I had been outcast into non-existence. Oh believe me, life here was more fun than it seemed. Well, mainly because I had Wes and Kaylee to back me up.

“You’re not gonna become a girly girl are you?” Wes groaned, imagining a completely different version of me in his head. I cracked up laughing.

“ME?! A girly girl?! You have got to be joking. Can you honestly imagine me as a girly girl?”

“No….but I mean Kaylee is….Kaylee. She’s gonna go all out with this experiment, don’t you think she’ll make you change your attitude at some point? Miss Smartass.” Wes grinned.

“Well then you’ll just have to make sure I don’t change!”

“Oh Puhlease…I have better things to do with my time!”

“What, other than helping out your best friend in her time of need?”

“I don’t have a best friend that’s a chick though! I’d rather just skate dude” he joked, although he was only partially kidding. His skateboard was his soul mate, literally. And as for me, well I was included as one of the dudes.

“Let’s do it then!” I challenged him and grabbed my skateboard. Starting off into a run and then hopping onto my skateboard. I could hear Wesley’s desperate attempts to put me off and slow me down, but I just tuned him out and enjoyed the feel of the wind whipping through my clothes.

I loved the adrenaline rush of it all, the crazy feeling I got in the pit of my stomach when I was flying through the air in a jump. It was sick, I loved absolutely every second of it.

That is until a dumbass rock decided to be right in my path. I didn’t notice it until I was flying through the air, that was of course because I was looking for the reason of my sudden flight.

Thankfully the grass in front of me softened my landing ever so slightly. I stuck my hands out to break my fall, but the fact that I have absolutely no arm strength meant that I couldn’t hold myself up and fell face first into the grass.

“Ooof!” I grunted as I hit the ground. I could hear Wesley cackling away behind me, absolutely pissing himself from my graceful bird-like fall. Oh, I was graceful as fuck.

“Are you alright?!” An un-familiar voice asked in concern.

“Er, yeah...” I mumbled awkwardly, embarrassed that I was caught on my little expedition by a person I didn’t know. Great first impression.
