I was sitting at home thinking about the best thing to do this summer. The only thing I kept thinking about was how I flacked out the last day of school. It wasn't my fault that I had the world's biggest crush on the cutest guy in school. Just my luck-he happened to be the most popular one too. Freaking great if you ask me! Suddenly I heard a thud come from downstairs. It must be my brother Dave and his stupid friend Kevin. Those two idiots are always butting heads! I rushed over to my bedroom door and opened it. "Dave, keep it quiet down there!" I shouted.
"Or what?" Wait. Did he just challenge me?
"Do you really wanna go there with me?" I said evenly.
I could hear him gulp from where I stood. My older brother Dave knew better then to mess with me. He thinks he can rule the world just because he's seventeen and I'm sixteen. Please! "Sorry." He mumbled.
"She always gets you!" Kevin said mockingly.
Oh, great! Just what I needed. Kevin and his air-brained remarks. "Shut up, Kevin!" I complained.
"Aw, come on, baby. Don't be like that." He whined. Seriously? He thinks I have the hots for him just because I was dared to kiss him last summer. Ever since then he's been bugging me.
"Gross." Was all I said before shutting the door. I don't know why these things happen to me. I feel like a complete dork. I remembered the look on Josh's (my crush) face as I stood in front of him mumbling like a fool. I groaned and covered my head with a pillow. I really hope he doesn't think I'm as pathetic as I think I am. That would just be horrible. Just then I heard my bedroom door crack open. I remained still. No one who walked through that door could make me feel any better.
"What's wrong with you?" Sue asked. Ah, I could always count on my very negative, sarcastic, and painfully honest best friend Sue to cheer me up.
"Nothing. Just the usual-my world is coming to an end-drama." I spoke into my pillow. When she didn't answer me I tugged the pillow away from my head. "What?" I gawked at her.
"Josh?" She asked with a tint in her eyes. She hated him because he wouldn't give me the time of day and for that exact reason I loved her.
"Yup."
"What happened?" She laid beside me on my bed. I turned my head to stare at her. She focused on the ceiling.
I took a short breath before answering her. "I was cleaning out my locker when he walked down the hall. We were the only two in the fourth floor hallway, which is pretty weird because everyone is usually up there-" Sue cut me off.
"Can we get to the point?" She huffed.
"Alright! Alright!" I cleared my throat. "So like I was saying. He was walking down the hall and he looked kind of sad, but I wasn't sure if I should speak to him. So instead I just kept cleaning out my locker when he spoke to me. He was all like: 'Hey, have you seen anybody?' I glared at him and shook my head. He smiled for a second and then walked over to me. 'You're Quinn, right?' he asked me. 'Yeah.' I answered him. 'I'm Josh.' 'I know.' And I felt like biting my tongue for saying that! He just sighed and continued. 'You know, because I'm the QB?' He asked with a raised eyebrow. 'Uh, I guess.' I tried to sound uninterested. 'So how come we've never talked?' He leaned against the locker beside mine. 'Don't know.' I muttered, but really I was screaming and happy on the inside! 'Well, how about we talk some more over the summer?' He asked flirtatiously. I studied him for a moment. I was about to answer him when a burb escaped my lips. I covered my mouth with my hand because I felt so embarrassed! He stood there observing me. Instead of answering him I shut locker door which smacked him in the head. 'Ow!' He complained. 'Sorry!' I panicked and ran down the hall." I explained.
Just thinking about it now made me slap my forehead. I am such an idiot!
"That isn't so bad." Sue shrugged.
"What!?! It's absolutely horrible!" I said. "I wish I could crawl under a rock and rot."
"Oh, stop being a baby! If you wanna fix things then just try to hang out with him." Sue propped herself on her elbows. I focused on her for a moment while I tried to clear my head. She was really pretty for such a dark, cloudy person. She had short, light brown hair that barely manage to reach her shoulders. Her eyes were a soft yellowish-brown and her body was something every girl envied and every guy wanted. She was slinder, but had curves that made her have that coke-bottle shape. Actually now that I think of it, we both had the same body type. Except I was a little thinner then her and I had a bigger butt. She had bigger boobs then me-lucky! Her skin was paler then mines and she was a bit taller then me.
"And how exactly am I suppose to do that, huh? Drive up to his house and knock on his window-like a stalker!" I joked.
"That sounds like a perfect plan to me." She smirked.
"Oh, no you don't! I am not driving up to his house like some weirdo!" I sat up.
"Just say you were looking for your pen or something."
"At his house?" I asked.
"Yeah." Was all she said.
"Are you on crack or are you just plain stupid?" I scowled at her.
"Um." She acted like she was thinking it over. "Plain stupid."
"This is seriously not the time to be joking!" I whined as I flopped back on my bed.
Sue hovered over me. "Okay, but seriously Quinn. If a girl like you came knocking on my door I would just be flattered-not creeped out." She complimented.
"You have to say that because you're my friend." I looked at my window.
"Actually, I shouldn't say that 'cause I'm your friend." She laughed.
"Well, unless you've been lying to me and have a pee-pee friend in your pants, then I don't know how you could possibly know what his reaction will be." I stated.
"Ouch. Someone's being a bit harsh. And since when have we started using the word pee-pee again?" She teased.
"Stop." I looked at her. She finally registered the pain and annoyance in my eyes.
"Okay. So how about we go out tonight and forget all about this crappy day?" She suggested.
"Can we get ice cream?" I raised an eyebrow.
"As much as you want." She smiled, flashing her white teeth.
"'Kay." I jumped out of bed and rushed into my perseonal bathroom. I studied my face for a moment in the mirror. My lips barely had any gloss on them and my eyeliner was starting to fade. My blue-hazel eyes appeared sad. I attempted to smile, but failed miserably. My tan skin seemed almost pale as I tried to shake off the depression. I combed out my long, black hair, that paused mid-back, and then reapplied my makeup. Once my makeup was done I left the bathroom.
Sue waited for me by my desk. "Ah, someone's finally put her face back on." She joked.
"Yeah, yeah." I stuck my tongue out at her. "Should I wear this?" I questioned. I peered at my dark blue, short-shorts, and my black tang-top.
"No, but something sexier on so all the boys can go coocoo-banana's for you." She said as she swayed side-to-side with a huge smile on her face.
"If I change, you change." I bargined, studying her skinny jeans and blouse.
"Alright, but I get to pick out what I wanna wear." She said as she passed me on her way to my closet.
"Deal." I followed her. She flung my blue mini-dress, that was strapples and tight, at me. She claimed another one of my mini-dresses. My pink one that was a bit looser compared to the one she had given me. She started changing.
"Ugh, always trying to get me naked." She said while pulling off her pants.
"Oh, yeah! You totally caught me! All I do is fantisize about you, baby!" I mocked her.
"I can't blame you." She laughed and I joined her. When we were finally ready we headed down stairs. Dave and Kevin were sretched out across the living room sofas playing video games. Ugh, boys. Do they ever really grow up?
"Where are you going?" Dave asked as he noticed us heading for the door. His and Kevin's as nearly popping out as they realized what we were wearing.
"Out." I answered. "Tell mom and dad I'll be at Sue's house and that'll come back in time to say goodbye to them before they leave." I said shutting the door. I felt excited that my parents were going on their third honey-moon this summer. Hey, if they needed to get freaky-deaky out of the country, then by all means they should go! That meant a free house more muh and my older bother, oops! I mean, brother Dave. I just hoped they didn't come back with another bun-in-the-oven. I mean, handling Dave is enough! And like my spanish teacher would say, that wouldn't be bueno!
I followed Sue to her car and got in the passengers seat trying to relax as we made our way to who knows where!
um, I'm sort of new to this, but let me know what you think-please? :D & hopefully vote, let me know if I should continue??? 'kay thanks!!
