As I pull into Westbrook High's parking lot, my Pink Jeep blasting California Girls almost full blast, I can't help but flash a quick smile at my best friend in the shotgun seat, Jesica Broker.
She hates this song, she says it's too ' girly ', whatever that means. See, Jesi hated basically everything I stood for, popularity, Short skirts, pedicures, hotness, and makeup. She stood for everything I basically hated, soccer, sweat, woods, and chipped nails. I shudder, glancing down at my perfect blue nails on the steering wheel.
" Audrey, seriously, you got those nails yesterday and you haven't stopped checking them out since. It's starting to creep me out, Auds. " Jesi says as she unbuckles.
I glance at her as I shift into park, " Just because you don't know how to properly admire beauty doesn't mean I can't. " I say.
I glance down at her nails, ugh, she's been chewing them again and the amount of dirt under them... " please, Jesi, just let me take you to a nail tech just once, your nails will thank me later. "
She glanced down at her nails just once and then back up at me, horrified, " Audie, no. We have been over this, I don't want fake nails, I don't care how my nails look- "
" Great! Since you don't care how your nails look I'll take you after school. " I interrupt with, smiling proudly.
" AND I can't play soccer with those hideous nails. Plus, how do you expect me to use my bow and arrows? Or use the restroom, or take a shower, or anything in those monsters? "
I stare at her for a moment, faking to be horrified, flashing my nails at her, " Also good Self Defence, Jesica. Using the restroom is easy in them and taking a shower is also easy, helps rub in the shampoo. And do you really need to play with bows and arrows or play soccer? "
" uh, yes, yes I do need my bow and arrows and to play soccer! I'm hoping I'll be captain once Lilia graduates. "
I sigh to myself, what am I going to do with her? I know we're nothing alike, I mean, I've known that since the fourth grade when she somehow became my best friend, but Oh. My. Goodness.
I puff out my lower lip, giving her my saddest puppy dog eyes, " pweaaaase? One pedicure. Pwease pwease pwease? " I beg.
Jesica bursts out laughing, shaking her head, " Audrey, you look like a dying cow! " she pushes my face away with the palm of her hand, I gasp, " you'll ruin my makeup! "
" let's hope so! " she the grabs her bag and jumps out, slamming my jeep's door.
I groan to myself, I'll get her girly one day. . . Just not today.
I grab my bag and get out, locking my jeep.
My pink heels against the sidewalk, one of my favorite sounds. My hips working beautifully, my pixie pink thigh length strap dress holding my frame nicely. I can feel the stares and gawking. I smile to myself as people step out of my way and a freshmen stumbles over himself to open the door for me, I slide my forefinger down his bare arm, I give him a wink and some extra hip swing as I walk inside, I hear his breath stutter and I smile to myself, I love being me in my smokin' hot bod'.
Once I get to my locker I effortlessly spin the lock and open it, looking in the mirror in the door. I fix my hair and even out some blush, " I'm surprised you haven't been kidnapped yet, you have the same exact routine every day.
Walk in like a super model, make some guys drool, check yourself out in your mirror, get your books, go to class " Jesi says as she fishes out her math book from her messy locker.
I laugh a little, " let's hope I get kidnapped by the quarterback, you'd know that'd be a fun night. " I say as I put on some extra lipstick.
I can practically hear Jesica roll her eyes, " trust me, he's thinking about it. And you're not wrong, it would be. He has a lot of experience, hell, even I wouldn't put up a fight. " Jesi says as she closes her locker door.
I close my locker door and spin the dial on the lock. I fall into step with her, saying hello to my friends as I pass and winking at the hot guys.
People move out of our way as we walk to
Class.
" How's your brother? " I ask.
" He's fine, recovering nicely. Doctor says he'll be able to play again in a few months. "
Dillan Broker, senior, football captain. Well, was football captain until he got hurt in a match two months ago, tore a ligament or something like that. Lucky for him, even while not playing currently he still keeps his body in prime condition. He still has his perfect abs, beautiful biceps... If he wasn't Jesi's brother... I sigh to myself, just my luck. I'd be best friends with a girl who has a smoking hot brother. He's basically perfect, with his dark chestnut skin, his deep brown eyes, his soft curly black hair, his six-foot-three height...
I feel someone frantically poking my shoulder, I shake my head, clearing it, and glance at Jesica.
" Hello? Earth to Audrey? I've been trying to get your attention for like a minute! "
" Sorry, got distracted. "
She just groans, " well, never mind that, don't look now, but look ahead. "
I followed her gaze, about fifty yards in front of us Billy, the Quarterback. Six-foot-five, golden tan skin, perfect dark blonde hair, gorgeous muscle shirt and incredible amber eyes - which are pinned straight on me. -
I adjust my strap to bring attention to my shoulder, " what do you think he wants? " I ask innocently.
Jesi lets out a small breath of a laugh, " uh, you? That neckline is way too short and the hem of your dress is way too high for him to think anything good. "
I laugh softly, " if you don't hear from me in the next forty-eight hours, assume I've been kidnapped by him. "
" ma'am yes ma'am. "
Once he gets to us he looks me up and down and smirks, " Nice dress. "
I roll my eyes, " I know. What do you want, Billy? "
His eyes glance up and down again then lock on my eyes, " well, I'm just wondering if you and your friend are coming to my pool party tonight, bikinis welcomed. " he glanced over at Jesica, raises an eyebrow then back to me.
I study my nails, " yeah, we should be able to make it. Who'll all be there? I'm hoping none of the lame-O's. " I say it more as a fact that none of them are welcomed.
Billy shakes his head, " Only a few people, it'll be fun. " and by a few he means about half the school, only the ones I talk to, of course.
I nod, " whatever, we'll be there. Don't forget the beer. " I tap his chest, moving my finger to his shoulder, " and don't forget to have good music, alright? " I walk past him, my heels sounding like music. I hear Jesica catch up and match my footing, " I have to go, don't I? " Jesi asks.
" yes, yes you do, Jesica. It'll be fun. Hot boys, beer, music, pool. Fun time. "
She rolls her eyes, " you're staying next to me the whole time. And no running off with Billy or any other guy! I'm not letting you out of my sight for more than three minutes! "
I huff, " fine, fine! "
Once we get to class we sit down.
Once class starts Ms. Eudy clears her throat, " Students, I'd like to introduce a new transfer student from Berlin, Germany. I expect you'll all make him feel welcomed. Mr. Bergmann? "
A boy gets out of his seat and walks forward, tall, looks maybe six-foot, short straight brunette hair, nice blue eyes, good body.
" uh, Hallo, mein name ist Karl Bergmann, I am seventeen. As ms. Eugh juzt zaid, I am from Berlin, Germany. I have ein brother, eine sister und eine Mother. Mein father died ven I vas younger. " Karl says, his accent thick. He then glances at ms. Eugh and sits back down, my eyes follow him.
He glances over at me, my stomach does a flip, his dark blue eyes piercing. I can't seem to look away, atleast I don't want to... I don't think i do.
