Decoding The Message Of Amber

Chapter 2

It's day one of my senior year and I haven't left the house, on my bed I have out 3 outfits I bought with whitney, and I don't think any of these outfits are even me? I'm not this flashy well dressed girl, and just as I'm thinking to myself Whitney calls me
"Hey girl" I hear her say into the phone
"Hey whit, are you ready yet?!" I say into the phone
"I don't know if I wear the maxi skirt outfit or the high waisted leggings?" She says
"I don't care" I say then roll my eyes
"I'm just saying amber, this is my year, I've got to look good, I've been up all morning curling my hair and making sure my make up is perfect, this is my year am, you have got to believe it" she says
"I believe it whit, I really do, but I'm not even dressed yet." I say
"Then stop talking and get ready? I'll meet you out in the parking lot by the statue like always, okay?" She says
"Okay" I say then hung up the phone.
I look down at my curvy size 12 body and think about what to wear, so I put on a pair of high waisted black jeans and a stripe crop top that shows just a sliver of my stomach and put on some white converses.
I look in the mirror and see my dirty blonde hair looks a bit dirty so I sprayed some dry shampoo into my hair and scrunched my wavy hair while doing so, my hair goes under my boobs and it's layered, Debby begs me to let her do cool stuff to my hair but I never let her, she does Whitney's hair tho.
My eyes look tired because I stayed up on live all night so I brushed my teeth and my braces and put on some concealer and changed my nose ring into a hoop.
I then walk out of my door and the smell of first day of school breakfast fills the air, and I make my way to the kitchen, and I already see Debby and Mason at the table, he had on some flashy new outfit for the first day of his junior year and they both had plates in front of them with oj in their cups and I just sat down by them
"We waited for you before we could eat" Debby said
"Well thanks guys" I say
"You look tired, I want you to look special for your senior year baby girl, maybe after school I can color your hair to spice you up a bit" Debby says
"I've got to work after school so that spicing up won't be happening" I say then roll my eyes,
Francine starts putting plates of waffles, and pancakes and sausage and bacon and eggs on the table for us and I immediately started digging in.
"Geez slow down sis" Mason says to me
"Hey!" Both of our moms say in unison
"Get bent" I say
"You guys need to get rid of the negative energy right now" Debby says
"I'm kidding, and Amber knows that, she isn't anywhere near fat" he says then smiles
That's the smile that the girls at school go crazy for, and also the lying that the girls fall for.
I finish my breakfast and grab my jansport backpack that's just yellow, and leave out the door without a word, and make it to my car and I put the key in the ignition and it didn't start the first time, I hate when this happens, then finally it starts and I back out the driveway, and then drive down the street a ways, then whenever I reach a red light I connect my phone to the cassette adapter in my car since I don't have an aux cord option, and I see Mason and his girlfriend pull up next to me and they both wave at me.
God they are so nice to pity my ass,
Then a horn starts to honk and I realize the light has turned green so I step on the gas and continue down the road, the car that was behind me sped up and flipped me off, what a great way to start my day.

*************

I'm in the parking lot and I see miles' car and I avoid it, at all costs so I ended up parking in the junior's parking lot,
And as soon as I get out of my car Patrick Dunsburg yells at me "hey you're not a junior anymore idiot"
Then I flip him off and say "suck my ass"
"I'm sorry sweetie, but nobody wants too because you're such a bitch" he says then walks away
How am I even a bitch, I walk into the school, don't talk to anybody but my two friends, I don't speak in classes, and hardly speak at lunch and wait for the day to end then go work my pathetic job I don't bother anybody, but it's whatever.

Then suddenly Whitney walks up as I'm approaching the statue, she has her highlighted hair curled perfectly as she is wearing a headband and is wearing a lace kimono with a tank top and some jewelry with a tribal maxi skirt with some sandals, she always looked on point.
"Hey girl! You look cute!" She says
"Thanks, I'm going for hobo chic am I winning?" I say then smile
"You're rocking it!" she says with a smile so wide I don't know how someone can smile so much and not have an aching face.
"I'm so happy we have the same first hour with opal" she says
"Yeah I am too"i say
We walk into the two story school and everyone looks their best, the smell of fresh pencils is in the air and it's a load mad house as per usual, I don't get how everyone is so enthusiastic about being back in school, in the summer time I didn't wake up until at least noon so right now I'm just dragging to class,
The five minute bell rung so Whitney and I picked up our speed and made it to the class with just three minutes to spare,
I walk in and examine the room and see opal sitting in the back by herself and two desks were empty by her, one in front and one beside her.
I take the seat beside her and sit down, Whitney is the more social one so putting her in a seat kinda on her own is really what she needs.
The bell rings and I see Patrick in the front row and automatically know I will hate senior english.
the teacher got up from his desk and started to talk.
"Hello guys, I'm Mr. Wheeler, and I will be your teacher all year unless you switch out, then I will see you guys around, I'm looking for a drama free year where we can explore the fun sides of the English language, and trust me there are some" he says then winks
"Now how was everyone's vacation?" He says
Then no one spoke
"Okay, not everyone at once now" he says
Then Whitney and a couple other people chuckle.
