The Makeover

Anyways, it's obvious Lily has a major crush on Foster, though she would never admit that. You think she would like Jay, who plays for the football team, but no. He is already taken by one of our other good friends, Alexx, anyways and I know Lily would never break the friend code. Anyways, Foster is like the complete opposite of Lily. Foster is like skater cool. When he walks down the hall he has this swagger thing going on that make people part like the red sea. He loves beanies and singing too (he has his own band which everyone in school loves). His hair is black and his skin is pale. He could be mistaken for a vampire.

Foster has a twin named Danny who is dating my friend Cassie. Unlike Foster, Danny has caramel brown hair and medium tan skin. He's cute in his own way. Everyone in my group is somewhat good looking besides me. Danny may be a total flirt, but he is really sweet and sensitive and is a great boyfriend to Cassandra.

Danny's lover,Cassandra, did not quit dance at the age of five like most girls. She still participates in ballet. She wants to be on Broadway when she gets older which is so cool. She could be a Rockette and be in that kick line...Or in a musical! But now I'm getting ahead of myself, so back to describing my friends. We call Cassandra "Cassie" by the way. Cassie has beautiful golden blond locks that go to her shoulders. They are naturally curly, but not frizzy curly. Those pretty bell curls other girls can only acheive with a curling iron and lots of hairspray. When you go to one of her dance recitals, I guess you could say that Cassie looks like a fairy.

Last but not least of the boys is Jay (I mentioned him earlier). He resembles Justin Bieber. He plays almost every sport but the main one he plays is football. Because of his long, giraffe-like legs, he is running back. He is super fast, so he is valued by the track and cross country teams in addition to the football team. From lots of time in the gym he is totally buff. All the girls swoon over him but he only has eyes for one-Alexx.

Oh how I love Alexx! She's very sarcastic and well, for lack of a better word-badass. She doesn't put up with crap. I'm not afraid to admit that I've been to the school guidance counselor before. She has advised me to ignore mean people, but Alexx is the total opposite. She will talk smack and beat you up if you detest her; she thinks that guidance counselors are shrinks that don't know what the hell they're talking about. Maybe I should schedule her an appointment with a therapist...Just kidding, I love her just the way she is. Like the other girls in my group, Alexx is also a blond but she is an albino blonde with super straight hair that reaches down to her belly button. She also has side bangs but they annoy her so she usually pins them back. Alexx wears a lot of black. Like leather and combat boots and skinny jeans and smoky eye makeup. She's not like goth or emo! She just...that one girl in the school who has attitude and who boys think is super sexy but don't even try. Think leather and motorcycles minus the tats and smoking. 

Alexx and Jay have the cutest love story; I've never heard anything like it. Before our group had formed, Jay had been persisting that Alexx let him take him on a date. Just one chance he claimed. After over a year of asking and declining, Alexx finally got pissed and said "yes". She thought she would hate it, but she had a great time when they went to watch Paranormal Activity and then a midnight picnic on the football field. If you ask me, that's sort of a strange date, but Alexx loved it. So then they started getting to know each other more and then Jay asked her out and she said yes willingly.

As of now, Alexx and Jay show a lot of PDA. A LOT. I don't think they get the concept.

Alexx spells her name with two "x's", but I don't think her name was originally spelled this way. Who knows, though. She really doesn't have a stable adult figure in her life such as one of her parents to talk about the weird spelling.  

"Addison?" said Cassie.

"Uh what?" I snapped out of my thinking phase. 

"I asked if you were coming to my recital on Friday?" 

"Maybe. I want to but I'm babysitting."

"Not again!" Says Alexx snorting with annoyance. 

""I just love little kids and I hate saying no," I explained in exasparation.  

"Me too!" Lily agrees with me.

Oh and besides, I don't wanna go to that recital. I have seen Cassie in the nutcracker thousands of times and even though she is very good at ballet and I love her to death, it's getting old. 

"Will you be there?" she asked Danny with puppy dog eyes. 

"Hon, I'm your number one fan. Of course I'll be there. I would be there even if you weren't the love of my life." Danny explains. Cassie giggles that goofy lovestruck giggle and a ginormous smile spreads across her face. 

"This disgusts me. Let's make out to distract myself from these horrors." Alexx said to Jay and as they leaned into kiss, Cassie stopped them. "Get a room because that disgusts me!" Lily and I agreed and Alexx sighed and left with Jay to go in some janitors closet. Yepp. These are my besties.

The bell rings and now I have P.E. with Alexx and Jay, but they are still in the closet doing whatever couples do when they're alone and in love. They weren't missing much. Jay could skip as much as he wanted because he gets out of everything for being the star of our sschool's football team. Alexx just doesn't care.

Time to go get dressed into my hideous yellow and blue uniform...

Cassie and Danny are Addie (main character's) friends and they are dating. Lily and Foster, Danny's twin brother, who are also Addie's friends like each other. Amber, head cheerleader, and Tyler, Addie's ex-bf and a major player now tease her daily for wearing unflattering, boyish clothing. Alexx and Jay are Addie's friends and Alexx is a total badass chick. Next chapter has P.E. class!
