GREGORY
HOUSE
Tuesday, January 3rd
6:42 AM
Kristen Gregory yawned as she pulled back the pale blue satin covers
of her tiny-compared-to-Massie's bed. She gazed out the window to the
icy blanket of snow covering the sidewalk of outside and frowned at
the thick, dense, layer of fog and clouds. It showed no sign of it
being nice out. To get past her needy mom and her do this-do that
father, she pulled on a pair of dark green sweatpants and the
oversized grey hoodie her mother bought her over the weekend from
Marshall's over a pair of skinny jeans and an emerald green Massie
hand-me-down tight hoodie. The Marshall's hoodie was luckily, so big
it fit over another hoodie. She threw her jacket over it all and
slipped her tiny feet into a pair of puke-green army boots and
stuffed her slip-ons into her backpack. She felt too warm and as
though she might sweat. Splashing cold water onto her face, she
glanced into the mirror and tilted her head to the side. Her dirty
blond hair had been swept up into a high ponytail and her eyes looked
dull and sad. She hoped the hoodie would bring out the green in her
eye because it was fading. Sighing, she brushed her teeth so that
she'd be one step closer to having teeth like Massie's. Then she
applied chapstick and walked downstairs, shutting the baby blue door
behind her.
"Good morning, Mom." Kristen greeted to her mom who looked
everything but pretty and nothing like Kendra Block in a pair of pink
Victoria's Secret pajama pants tucked into beige Ugg boots and a
matching baby blue and pink top. She grabbed the cereal from under
the counter and started pouring it into a bowl.
"I'm going to a New Year's party tomorrow after school, kay?"
Kristen said calmly, never taking her eyes off the
bowl.
"At Massie's house?"
"No, it's some ninth grader. I think her name was Skye or
something."
"Whoa…back up there. Ninth grade? That's a year older then
you!"
"Yeah, but mom…it's okay. There's nothing wrong with him.
She's a total nerd anyways, and it'll be parentally supervised."
Kristen lied. Her mom saw right through her.
"Fine. That's okay. Of course, I'd have to talk to the parents
first."
"But mo-om!" Kristen cried, turning the word into two
syllables.
"Well, I'm sure Sarah's parents won't mind." Her mom
shrugged.
"Skye. Skye's parents. And buh-sides, don't you trust me?"
Kristen tried.
"This isn't about trusting you or not trusting you. What time
does this party start and end at anyways?"
"Uh…" Kristen bit her lip. "Just…about…um…"
she muttered some words under her breath.
"Huh? Speak up."
"TenPMtothreeAM" Kristen replied quickly.
"What?"
"Fine! It's from ten PM to three AM" Kristen staggered. She
struggled to pour the milk into the bowl, realizing that it was
surprisingly hard.
"What?" she hissed. "That's over twelve hours! I won't
have it! What will you do all that time? That's too late! I can't
wait around to pick you up! You'll get into mischief. Remember this
summer?"
Ugh. How could she forget? She had tried to sneak
off with her crush and his friends to the country club to piss off
Skye and had gotten into huge trouble. (A/N. I didn't want to spoil
it so I made it very vague. Read Kristen for details.)
"Mom, I already promised that wouldn't happen again! How many
times do I have to say I'm sorry?"
"You can say it a million times, but the answer's still no. Now
finish up. Isaac will be coming soon." Her mother replied
sternly, getting up from her seat and placing her white plate with
bagel crumbs and glass cup into the sink.
"Mom! But that's not fair!"
"It's plenty fair. The answer is no, okay? End of discussion."
"Ugh!" Kristen stomped her feet onto the
ground.
"No stomping! People live downstairs, you know."
"Double ugh!" Kristen huffed. She poured the rest of
her unfinished cereal into the sink and walked out of the house,
slamming the door behind
her.
BLOCK RANGE
ROVER
Tuesday, January 3rd
7:24 AM
Kristen walked into the Range Rover and laid her backpack
into the trunk. She quickly stripped off her sweatpants and large
sweater revealing a tighter hoodie and a pair of skinny
jeans.
"Heyy! How is everybody?" Kristen greeted, not showing how
upset she was about not being able to go to the party.
"By your happy tone, I assume your parents agreed?" Massie
was wearing a black coat, a purple and silver scarf, a black hat, and
black fingerless gloves. She was wearing purple skinny jeans under a
pair of black knee high boots. Her bangs showed from under the hat
and her hair was curled to perfection. The cold brought out a rosy
flush in her cheeks, and she seemed aware of the fact that she looked
ah-mazing.
"Uh…" Kristen bit her lip. "Not…not yet." She
said, scanning everybody else's outfit. Claire was in a pair of boots
similar to the ones she had left the house with only they were black,
comfy looking grey Hollister sweatpants, and a dark green jacket over
it all. Alicia looked much better. Her shiny black hair was long and
bouncy and looked great with her baby blue quilted coat and orange,
green, silver, and black scarf. Her beanie lay flat on her head and
her peep toe heels added just the right amount of bold flair to her
outfit. Dylan clutched a Starbucks coffee in one hand, a limited
edition Prada bag in the other. She was wearing a long black coat
with double buttons similar to Massie's, only hers had a black belt
attached. She had on a pair of black flat boots and her hair was
straight, her bangs clipped up and poofed. She didn't have a hat on.
All of them, except Claire, looked better then her. She had expected
them to not have coats since they usually acted like they weren't
cold during the winter. Desperate to fit in, Kristen grabbed her
puffy coat and threw it on. She took out her emergency gloves and
scarf and threw those on too.
"Not yet? Well when? I swear, your mom is really getting on my
nerves." Massie replied. Kristen sighed.
"Yeah, mine too."
"Oh come on, Massie. You know her mom is a little bit strict.
Maybe you should just respect her wishes." Claire shrugged.
Kristen shot her a grateful look.
"Oh yeah? Respect this!" Massie pulled off a glove and
threw it at Claire, who cracked up and threw it at Alicia, who threw
it at the window. Kristen laughed her phlegmy laugh and grinned.
"Kristen, seriously." Massie turned serious again. "I
don't know, do something."
But Kristen couldn't. This was all she could do without her mom
finding out.
if kristen's mom ever found out that Kristen was:
A) Sneaking clothes
under her mom-approved ones
B) Borrowing money and clothes from
her rich friends
C) Had a hand-me-down Mac book she secretly uses
for the Witty Committee
D) All of the above X
She would kill Kristen.
