About Time The 'Awkward Amber' Changes!!
Last week goes by without any excitement. I mean, it's senior year and I should be excited, should enjoy the last year of ultimate fun and all that jazz. But in my case, it's always been sitting at home, reading books, watching movies and adding unwanted pounds to my already-heavy body! Exciting, right?!?!
I mean, I've got Liz and Mia but there are only so many parties I can let them cancel for me. They go to tones of 'em. I tend to become awkward around the Jocks and the hotties. So, I prefer staying at home obsessing over the Salvatore Brothers.
So, I wake up on Tuesday to an empty apartment. I check Mum and Dad's room and find it empty. Hmm, that's weird. I was about to call them when I spot this letter attached to the fridge with the magnet. It says that Mum and Dad won't be here for a week, so I could go over to Liz's place. Yayay!! I love my Freedom.
I quickly freshen up for school and start my bike, yea, be jealous! Now, I'm not exactly a rock-chick girl, but I like bikes, although I prefer my car so that I don't mess my hair, but right now, I don't care.
I take my time to reach school and run to my first class Literature. I spot Greg and go to sit at my usual seat, next to him. ''You look too fresh for a Morning, waddup? " Greg looks at me as I great him with a smile, trust me it's rear. ''Mum and Dad left for Paris today morning and won't be here for a week" I reply, keeping my assignment on my desk. "Oh! Yea. Mom and Dad are leaving in a day or two as well. I guess it's about their new project" Greg says. Mrs. Wills enters as we shush our talks.
It's lunch and I haven't seen Liz yet. Where the hell is she?!
"Am, seen Liz?" Mia voices my thoughts as she sits next to me. "No clue" I sight as her call goes on voicemail again. I take a bite of pasta,hmm I could live on pesto. "So, what do you plan to do this week huh?" Joe asks me, wiggling an eyebrow. "Cry over those whipped vapmires and complete her essays" James butts in. "Do you forget that your girlfriend is my best friend ?" I glare at him, to have his signature smirk in reply. Egh! What's the dude's problem. Something happened to him over the summer break, I remember we were great friends. He never replies when I ask him what's wrong. Guess he's just being the ass guys could be. My phone's suddenly busses. I unlock hoping it's Liz, to find a message from Aunt Rose.
"Hey Greg! Aunt Rose just messaged me saying that they had to leave early so will be gone when before you reach. You know where the keys are, right?" I say as I walk upto him and his teammates standing at the entrance of the cafeteria. "Woah! That means Parryttyyy" He whops.
He walks inside with his groupies and climes on a chair. "Everyone! Tomorrow night, party at my place. Ya guys know where it is. Get yourself good company. See Ya at 8" he yells and the whole cafeteria starts screaming. Egh!
After school, I go to Liz's place and she takes around 2 minutes for her to open. "Hey!" She says as looks between surprised and happy. "Why weren't you picking up my calls, may I know and why did you not come to school. Economics was a total disaster" I say as I walk to her room and make myself comfortable on her bed. She gets some nachos and dips and sits next to me. "Yea. I woke up late. Like at 10 and there's no one to stop be so I went to Starbucks to get coffee and met Kathy there. Remember the one who left two years back? With the hot guy?!" , "Yea. I remember..wait, why didn't you answer my calls ?" "Err...I kindda forgot my cell at home" she says as she stuffs her mouth with nachos. Her parents shifted to Spain and she insisted to stay here in North Carolina with us. We've known each other for almost 8years now. With the circumstances we have, we are more of a Family to each other , than our parents.
"So, James texted me saying that Greg is throwing a party tomorrow. We are going" she says emphasising on 'we'. Here we go, again. "You know Liz I won't--" I'm cut off my the doorbell as Liz rushes to open it. In a minute, she rushes back to the room with Mia. Great! Now it's two Against one. "Yea Amber, you were saying?" Liz prompts. I sigh and continue "Yea Liz and Now Mia, I really don't wanna go. It's always been this way and you know it. Plus I've got a lot of homework to do and oh! The sequel to my favourite series matters more than these parties" I say, in a monotonous tone. "Oh! C'mon. You can't ditch me. I gotta have a company to check out hotties and Liz here would be too busy sucking James's face to notice." Mia looks at me with fake sadness. "Nope! I can't come. I feel uneasy and I don't fit in. " I say Again. "C'mon Amber. It's the last year. And it's Greg's house. So it's not new to you, if you don't like it, you can just drive back home. Come for this once. It's the first party of the year. Show those bitch sluts what real beauty is. " Liz adds with a wink. "It's time to change for good Amber, you can't hide in there forever. We'll be going to College next year, it's our last year"
They actually are right, I mean, why sit in my room fearing people's judgement, they judge me anyways, might as well do what I wanna do!
"Let's go then" I say and with that we squeak and head to the mall for shopping!
