My Life

Chapter 5

Oh Alice, will you be my girlfriend?” He asked.

Oh how I love his grey eyes and today they were sparkling with admiration and something else.

We were in his red truck parked in front of Charles B. Eat and grill.

School was about to start any minute now but I didn’t care, the words he uttered had me shock.

Did Will just ask me to be his girlfriend?

“Alice, answer me.” He said weakly.

How do I answer? This is what I have been waiting for, for so long.

“Yes.” I screamed “Yes.”

His lips came down on mine and just as he was about to give me a passionate kiss, not the stupid innocent peck my alarm was heard.

Oh shit I was dreaming, ugh. Why couldn’t the damn dream be true?

I woke up frustrated and furiously stopped the alarm on my phone.

I dragged myself downstairs where I made bacon and scramble eggs for everyone including myself.

I had just taken two fork full of bacon and eggs when Veronica stepped into the kitchen.

“What the hell is this? Are you trying to get me fat?”

“What are you yelling about Veronica?” I sighed.

“What the fuck is this?” She screamed, pointing at the food.

“Breakfast.” I said sarcastically.

The next thing she did made me want to smack the shit out of this whore. She threw my plate and the rest of the food I cooked go.

“Make something else. Do you think I want to get fat like you? Look at your stomach and your waist! “

Veronica stormed off. I knew what I had to do. Make breakfast again.

The twins snickered.

“Ugh. She is such a fat ass.” Said Tara.

“If I had a waist like hers I would die!.” said Cara.

I felt a bit down though. Yes I gained a few pounds since I no longer dance which was my work out. I wasn’t fat though. My stomach didn’t have folds or tires. I only saw folds when I sat down and yes my waist wasn’t small like Veronica’s or the twins but I wasn’t fat. Do all women have to be ultra-thin? And these magazines which Veronica models for seem to make people like me feel even worse about ourselves. I mean what’s with them and skinny models. I don’t have any hatred or jealousy against skinny people but I just don’t find it fair that they are considered the perfect body and best models. How many thick supper models are there out there? Not many. Most are thin, no thickness what so ever. No hips or waist and all their breast and ass are fake as their personality. Everything is plastic surgery. I wonder what Veronica would look like without plastic surgery. Her breast for sure were not real, I’m not so sure about her face.

I made oatmeal and placed a bowl of blue berries on the table.

The twins came into the kitchen wearing some outrageous outfit and strangely Veronica was decently dressed.

“How do we look mum?” They said together.

“Fabulous girls! You will attract attention and no doubt you all will be the queen of the ball.”

So the twins were nominated for queen. What did I expect? They are cheerleaders, hence part of the popular crowd.

“No I will be queen of the ball.” exclaimed Cara.

“As if.” yelled Tara.

“Girls! I don’t care which one of you become queen, as long as one of you become queen.”

“Oh I can assure you that I will be queen and Damien will be mine. Oh my god. Imagine me dancing with Damien under the lights and us kissing…” Tara went on and on.

“Oh please. Damien will be mine and the only lips he will be kissing on that night is mine.”  Shouted Cara “Wait till I pass my hand through his sexy jet black hair and feel those soft luscious lips on mine.”

Oh my god I couldn’t believe these two. Damien was the boyfriend of their friend and fellow cheerleader and here they were fantasizing about kissing him and having him as their boyfriend. They really wanted to take Damien from Ashley, their own friend. How low. Even I who like Damien would never see myself taking him from Ashley and she isn’t even my friend. And besides, Damien will never notice me, plain old me. I am not popular and well I don’t dress the part. Well I don’t use to dress the part. Since I have embarked on my mission to impress Will my dressing has changed tremendously. Today I am thinking of wearing my black shorts which stopped just below my ass.  Since the teachers didn’t tell me anything about my white shorts which were far more modest than Ashley’s I think I can wear my black shorts which is not so modest. It’s probably the type of pants slutyAshley would wear.

“Shut up!” 

“No you shut up!”

The twins were arguing about Damien and becoming queen. A bunch of stupid girls. I just had to ask I mean I just couldn’t believe this.

“Isn’t Ashley all you friend?”

“And?” they said together.

“Well Damien is her boyfriend and it wouldn’t be nice to take him from her no matter how much you all want him. Put yourselves in her shoes.”

They burst out laughing. 

What was the joke?

“And you would know?” said Veronica “the whore who tried to seduce a man for a modeling gig.”

The twins laugh grew louder and wilder.

I shook my head and went up to my room. I no longer felt like eating.

Once in the bathroom I stripped off my sleepwear and took a warm bath.

When I got out I saw a text message from Will confirming that he will pick me up in the next 10 minutes at the usual place. I was excited. I really wanted to see Will.

I quickly curled my hair and brushed my teeth.

When I put on the short pant I was surprise to see how tight it was. I have seriously gain weight since I have stopped exercising. Is Tara right, am I a fat ass?

I was ready on time. My phone beeped.

I am waiting for you by the white fence.

Will.

I hurried down stairs.  Veronica was checking herself in the mirror at the bottom of the stairs.

“Mummy, first time I see you look so decent.” exclaimed Tara.

Veronica did look decent, too decent.

“Well Azeri’s family will be there to interview me today and well he gave me the job but I have to pass his parent’s inspection.” She replied “How do I look?”

“Like a lady.” Said Cara

They didn’t even notice me at the top of the stairs. They each hurried out the door.  

I must say the tramp cleaned up well. She was wearing this black dress which was just a little above her knee. Surprisingly no cleavage or legs were showing. That was a first for veronica.

Once they had exited the drive way I made my way towards the white fence where Will was parked.

He greeted me with a peck on the cheek and opened my door for me.

The drive to school was quiet and we listened to FMR station which usually starts with a prayer and the song ‘carry my load’ by kanvee Adams. I admit that it is a nice song.

Then ‘I am blessed’ by Mr. Vegas and I started singing along.

“You have a very beautiful voice Alice.” Said Will

“Thanks.”

Then he continued singing along with me.
