My school has a special tradition for White day. The chosen boy that all have voted for and will throw a ball and whoever catches it has to go on a date with them on Saturday and Sunday at a fancy hotel. They are letting all students have a day off on Saturday. On Valentine's Day, I gave nobody nothing. I just walked around the hallways and watched 800 students make out 531 of them confess and 281 of them hide things in other peoples lockers. I swear that this year it will be a disaster.
~Thursday, March 13, 2016,~ I heard a lot of talking in the hallways. Girls were giggling and saying "I heard that Jonah's going to be the ball thrower." "I'm going to catch it." "Amy's going to catch it she's the star of the baseball team." "There she goes now!" "Hey, Amy!" "Did you forget that Jonah is Amy's best friend other than Ian and Cara." "But Amy doesn't even try to catch the ball." "Oh yeah, I forgot about last year when she put her hands to her side." I winced every single time they called my name. It was true that Jonah was my best friend and nothing more. The classes were a bore, the only things the teachers talked about was tomorrow. Except for the gym teacher. She talked about gymnastics. I love her right now.
At lunch, I sat with my friends, Ian, Cara, Dan, Jonah, and Ham.
Cara was whispering to Ian about something, then he whispered it to Dan and then whispered it to Ham. "What's going on here?" I asked confused. Cara flashed me an innocent smile and said "Nothing." so sweetly that it could give me a cavity. I glared at her and she laughed slightly. Ham looked like he was going to explode laughing at any second. "What's so funny?!" I asked and he replied with "It's funny that Jonah got tackled by girls today in class. He fell out laughing then. Jonah blushed and looked away. As the lunch bell rang signaled that lunch was over, we went to science. Jonah and I were in the same class. Today we are going to make explosions. Girls surrounded Jonah asking him to be their partner, but he chose me. Girls glared angrily at me but I gave them a glare that could scare the life out of the devil. All of the girls backed up, some had pale faces while others faces were so white it looked as if they've seen heaven.
I sat on my stool and mixed my two ingredients.
Seconds later came to an explosion with a thick red substance.
All of our classmates looked at the explosion in area lot and the teacher gave us an A+. The school bell rang three times signaling us to leave.
I got my bookbag and got ready to leave. We agreed on meeting up at the park to play with the snow since we had no homework.
Once I arrived I saw Cara throwing a snowball at Ian's head. It hit him right in the face. Ian ran at Cara with full force and once he got to her, he tickled her and she fell. He then grabbed a clump of snow and threw it at her face. She pouted then whispered something to Ian and Ham. They all got a big amount of snow in a bucket and dumped over his head. They all ran behind a tree, but unfortunately, Ham couldn't find one. Dan made a snowball and threw it at Ham's head. Jonah and I started to make a family of snowmen. We made a mom, a dad, a brother, a sister, a toddler, and a dog. I took a picture of it and saved it. It was beautiful.
People stared in awe at the creation. When decided to stay over at my house. Dan, Ham, and Ian slept in Dan's room. While Jonah, Cara, and I slept in my room.
Since I have a bunk bed Cara slept on the top bunk while Jonah and I slept on the bottom bunk together. (For all you creeps out there No! Do NOT think that! I know what you're thinking.) Ian and Cara went out to the kitchen to talk about something while Jonah and I stood in the room. He turned off the lights leaving only the bedside lamp on. He kissed me softly on the forehead and I fell asleep. *Cara's Pov*
Ian and I decided to go to the kitchen and talk about something. "Ian, do you think our plan will work?" "Maybe." "I hope that Jonah aims that ball at Amy. He's had a crush on her ever since he was born." "It has to work Cara." "I hope so. Sometimes he can be pretty shy." Ian glanced down at his phone and looked back up at me. "It's been five minutes. Let's go check." Ian grabbed my hand and led me to Amy's room. No blush spread upon my cheeks because I'm used to his absentminded actions. I saw Amy's head on Jonah's chest with his arms around her. I knew that this was a match made in heaven. Ian pulled me close to him catching me off guard. One of his arms was wrapped around me he started to speak in a serious yet gentle tone, "Cara, I want you to listen to me. Amy's heart has been broken many times and now she's found someone that will really love her. I don't' want your heart to be broken." Then he said something that would have damaged his pride he said shyly, "I don't ever want to lose you." I wrapped both of my arms around him wrapping him into a hug. I stood on the tip of my toes to reach him and kiss him on the lips. I whispered into his ears "And you never will." I left him standing in the doorway. And I hopped into bed.
~Friday, March 14, 2016,~ *Amy's pov*
I woke up that morning with Cara snoring and soft arms around my waist. I felt a slight blush creeping up on my cheeks. Jonah's arms were around me and I had no chance getting out of the trap. I whispered in his ear and said "Jonah, may I move please?" He blushed and removed his arms from my waist. The school told us to bring our dresses and suits for the school dance today.
Cara woke up and rushed to the bathroom in 5 minutes she got out with a black shirt with glitter, a black hoodie, blue jeans, and black shoes. Her hair was ready and her teeth were shiny. I got washed up and got dressed. I wore a red short sleeved shirt. I wore some jeans and some red Nikes. At school we walked inside together girls fainted at the sight of Jonah. Other girls growled at me but you know what?
I DIDN'T GIVE A CRAP!
Boys were staring at me and Cara. Cara growled at some and went up to her lockers a lot of letters and chocolate boxes came out. She growled even more. She picked them up and put them in one of her rolling tote bags. She brought six for her letters.
I couldn't wait to get this day over with. If I caught the ball I would put it into a fangirls hand and say "She caught it!"
If Cara would catch the ball she would keep it and at the dance kick whoever threw the ball in the face because she took dance as a kid and can beat the crap out of anyone with one dance move. When the assembly was called to order Cara growled signaling that she didn't want to be there. The teachers excused Cara from this event fearing that she would hurt them.
Cara smirked and left skipping happily. When the ball throwing, the ceremony began my friend decided that it was the most important thing at that time to ask me if and I quote "Did I have the answers to last night's homework." I asked with my hands out "Why couldn't you do it yourself?" She snickered and then proceeded to point to my hand. Apparently when my hand was out the ball fell into it without me noticing, so I couldn't put it into anyone else's hands. I looked up in horror at the stage to see Jonah smiling at me. I knew for sure that I will kill him. All the girls glared at me and you know what, I glared at them, growled at them, and cursed at them. In class, the teachers spent most of their time congratulating me. \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
When I got to gym. You know what? I love the gym teacher. She asked if I was okay. If I was okay. She's now my favorite. Since she was looking at us she noticed my horrified face. Since I wasn't feeling well she let us play dodgeball. 1 vs. the rest of the class- dodgeball. And I was that one. I threw it at Jonah, then Cara, then all the fangirls and fanboys. I loved life. I hit everyone. I was so happy. Everyone was out in 2 minutes. The gym teacher smiled at me. She was so proud. She was like my mother. My mother before my father died. I shivered at that thought. We played a few more rounds. One of them I finished in 1 minute. After gym class was over we had lunch. Jonah sat next to me and said: "You ready for our dance tonight?" I growled and said, "Yeah, I'm ready to kick you in the legs over and over again because of my bad dancing." His teasing mood turned into a scared one. Ian snickered at this and whispered something into Cara's ear. She blushed redder than the QuikTrip sign. (I'm at QuikTrip right now. I'm typing on Microsoft Word. Hehe.)
Dan, who was sitting next to her, decided to poke her and asked what he said, Cara blush became the brightest red possible. I would later know that Ian said "Let's have some fun tonight at the dance. Nellie brought something REALLY STRONG to spike up the punch."
The next few classes after that were boring. The teachers still congratulated me. I wish the gym teacher was my mom since my mom is always out. After school, we went to my house to get dressed. I wore a white dress with no sleeves and lace around the cleavage. My hair was in a high ponytail with a red hair band. I wore some white high- heels. But Cara looked FABULOUS. She wore an aqua blue sleeveless dress, with white lace around the bottom, and small bunnies around the bottom, her hair was straightened and had a white hair clip on one of her strips of hair that wasn't in the back, she wore aqua blue gloves, and white flats, she had on light blue lipstick, with teal eyeshadow, pink blush, and black eyeliner. Ian was staring at her when she came out. When we walked into the school everyone stared at Cara. Apparently, she did this without looking in the mirror. How come she didn't catch the ball. She's the flashiest and looks perfect and is perfect. I love her right now. The slow music started and all eyes started to look at me and Jonah. I had to dance perfectly now. My hands moved their way to his shoulder and his hands moved to my waist and one of my shoulders. We started to slow dance. I actually enjoyed this feeling but would never admit it. As everyone started to dance I lied my head down on his shoulder and said: "How you doing?" He could feel my smirk. He said "Good. I thought that you were going to kick me." "Oh yeah, I almost forgot." I kicked him softly and he pretended to wince in pain.
Then something took our attention off of each other, Ian and Cara were on the stage. A microphone was in front of each other. Soon everyone's gazes were averted to them. Music started to play and Cara took a deep breath.
She started to sing her favorite song.
"If I had to I would put myself right beside you So let me ask you,
Would ya like that? Would ya like that?
And I don't mind If you say This love is the last time So now I'll ask,
Do ya like that? Do ya like that?
Something's getting in the way Something's just about to break I will try to find my place In the diary of Jane So, tell me How it should be?"
Ian joined Cara.
"Try to find out What makes you tick As I lie down Sore and sick Do ya like that, Do ya like that?
There's a fine line Between love and hate And I don't mind Just let me say,
That I like that, I like that Something's getting in the way Something's just about to break I will try to find my place In the diary of Jane As I burn another page As I look the other way I still try to find my place In the diary of Jane So tell me How it should be?
Desperate I will crawl Waiting for so long No love, there's no love Die for anyone What have I become?
Something's getting in the way Something's just about to break I will try to find my place In the diary of Jane As I burn another page As I look the other way I still try to find my place In the diary of Jane."
The audience roared with applause.
Ian stepped off of the stage and Cara smiled.
She was going to sing another song.
(I want you to guess what it is. Here's a hint it has something to do with one of my most iconic first stories! Wait, I think Cara was also run over by a truck! *cracks up* Ha! I'm sorry. It's Angel with a *******. Have fun guessing and reading!)
"This song is dedicated to the queen and king of White Day!"
She winked at us and started.
(I'm an angel with a shotgun, shotgun, shotgun An angel with a shotgun, shotgun, shotgun)
Get out your guns, battles begun Are you a saint, or a sinner?
If loves a fight, then I shall die With my heart on a trigger They say before you start a war You better know what you're fighting for Well, baby, you are all that I adore If love is what you need, a soldier I will be I'm an angel with a shotgun Fighting til' the wars won I don't care if heaven won't take me back I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe Don't you know you're everything I have?
And I, wanna live, not just survive, tonight Sometimes to win, you've got to sin Don't mean I'm not a believer And major Tom will sing along Yeah, they still say I'm a dreamer They say before you start a war You better know what you're fighting for Well, baby, you are all that I adore If love is what you need, a soldier I will be I'm an angel with a shotgun Fighting til' the wars won I don't care if heaven won't take me back I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe Don't you know you're everything I have?
And I, wanna live, not just survive, tonight Oh, oh whoa whoa oh whoa I'm an angel with a shotgun Fighting til' the wars won I don't care if heaven won't take me back I'm an angel with a shotgun Fighting til' the wars won I don't care if heaven won't take me back I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe Don't you know you're everything I have?
(I'm an angel with a shotgun)
And I, want to live, not just survive, tonight (Live, not just survive)
And I'm gonna hide, hide, hide my wings tonight They say before you start a war You better know what you're fighting for Well, baby, you are all that I adore If love is what you need, a soldier I will be.
Everyone clapped.
Cara smiled brightly and said "Last song of the night."
"Cheers to the queen!"
"God save the prom queen Teenage daydream Just another dressed up heartbreak God save the prom queen Only eighteen Turned her tears to diamonds in her crown She's the first in line at the party She's the first in line at the club And she's got that body, always got a flaunt that Everybody's looking up When she walks by you wanna be her And your boyfriend pretends not to see her 'Cause she's got that fire, doesn't even try Her booty has its own zip code All the peasants bow down God save the prom queen Teenage daydream Just another dressed up heartbreak God save the prom queen Only eighteen Turned her tears to diamonds in her crown Playgirl, look at the future Who knows what's ahead?
There's a house on a hill with an indoor pool And a millionaire in her bed And the years go by and she still dreams She's the hottest girl in town And the makeup's stronger, gotta wear it longer Just to keep a man around God save the prom queen Teenage daydream Just another dressed up heartbreak God save the prom queen Only eighteen Turned her tears to diamonds in her crown Diamonds in her crown And she lives her dreams through the magazines And her daddy's gone and she needs someone And she's got the looks and the boys on hooks But she'll trade it all for a heart that's whole God save the prom queen God save the prom queen God save the prom queen Teenage daydream God save the prom queen She turned her tears She turned her tears to diamonds in her crown."
She finished out strong, ignoring the silence in the school. Everyone was speechless after Cara's performance. After a moment of silence, everyone in school clapped as loud as possible. Cara blushed and walked off of the stage with people following her off. The principal walked onto the stage and said "Spectacular performance Cara. You will be rewarded for that!" She smiled politely after mentioning Cara's name. "Now it's time for the coronation ceremony. The king will be "Jonah Wizard!" Jonah walked up to receive his crown. The science teacher put it on his head. "The White Day queen is Amy Cahill!" I walked up to the stage slowly thinking 'This school has issues.' Jonah put the tiara on my head and slung his arm around my shoulder. Our little group walked out laughing and joking. Dan and Ham were standing next to each other talking about football. Ian's fingers were intertwined with a blushing Cara's hand. They were talking about her performance. With my tiara still on and the same with Jonah's his arm was still around my shoulder. We were talking about the dance. Cara pulled out her phone and started to take a picture of us. Jonah didn't notice, so he stopped and kissed me on the lips. Cara's phone flashed twice she almost tripped and fell into Ian. She yelled "I got it. I got two pictures of it too! Ian, Dan, Ham look!" Her face was beaming, she was so happy she took Ian's hand and ran to the house. I don't know how she does it with heels, but she does. Jonah and I blushed and the rest of us ran to catch up with them. My mom was home that night... Cara opened the door and yelled, "We're happy and home!"
She ran over to my mom and said excitedly "Amy had her first kiss with Jonah when we were walking home. She pulled out her phone and pulled up Instagram. The photo already had 2 million likes and 45k comments. My mom's face turned from serious to a fangirl one. She came over to me and Jonah and embraced us in a bone crushing hug. She screamed. "It's Canon!" Sometimes I'm embarrassed by my mom.
~Cara's P.O.V.~ I took Ian to the bathroom and pulled out my phone. I cracked open the door and started recording. Jonah confessed to Amy and they kissed. Yay! The likes and comments started and the picture started to become popular. Before it hit 5 million I remembered my old boyfriend. Ian must have seen the life and excitement flicker out of my light blue orbs because he asked "Are you okay, Car?" and lifted my chin up. I removed his hand from my chin. Suprised he put it on my shoulder. I saw 'him' in Ian. Brownish black hair, hazel eyes, fanciness, politeness, cuteness, and most of all my who I loved before...
I looked down and slapped Ian's hand off of my shoulder with strands of hair falling down my face along with tears. I ran out to the balcony on the third floor. Ian followed behind me. 'He wouldn't do that.' It doesn't matter. 'Ian cares about you.' He pretended to. 'Ian won't cheat.' He will I know it. 'Ian loves you.'
That's what he said before he cheated and tried to abuse me and ended up in the dead pile with my mom's old boyfriends. 'But, Ian...' "Shut up!" I yelled out loud in anger. Ian faced was surprised and he said "Cara. I'm sorry. Whatever I did, I can fix it!"
"No, you can't! Now leave!" "But..." "I said leave!" When he didn't I ran up to him swiftly and punched him in the chest. It must have hurt but he didn't care. I collapsed crying with angry tears. He only cared about me. Just me. He pulled me up by my hand. I wrapped my arms around his neck and cried into his shoulder, soon warm arms were wrapped around my back. My tears stopped after I heard these words come out of Ian's mouth. "I love you, Cara." I utterly shocked didn't know what to do, so I did the first things that came up. I stood on my tippy- toes and kissed Ian on the lips. As our lips came into contact with each other the warmness of his lips made my start to melt.
As I looked up at the stars I realized 'This will be a day that we will never forget: Seeing White.'
