Okay, so this story has a lot of references to cartoons and books and such, so if you don't get anything, just review or pm me and I'll explain it to you. But for the most part, I tried to keep the references to pretty famous things so everyone could get it. But again, if you don't understand, just review or message me!
Chap 1~ Frogs, Bunnies, What's the difference?
"What the fruit loops are you doing!" My best friend, Dakota, nearly screeched as she walked into her bedroom. I froze, half of a chocolate chip cookie in my mouth, and one of my pretty new black sharpies in my hand that was pressed up against her white walls. I looked between her and the picture of the adorable black bunny that I just drew on her wall and smiled sheepishly.
"It's a bunny!" I exclaimed happily, acting more like a six year old then a sixteen year old.
"Are you freaking kidding me!" She raged, coming over and smacking me in the back of the head as she grabbed the marker out of my hand.
"Uh, no?" I said, standing up and smiling down at the giant bunny I drew on her wall below her window. The space just looked so empty…
"I can't believe you! Oh, Bugs Bunny I can't believe this! Look what you did! It doesn't even look like a bunny!" She scolded, and with a huff she sat down on the floor next to me.
"Hey! Don't you make fun of my bunny drawing skills!" I nearly yelled.
"Ugh, look, if you're going to make a bunny, at least do it right!" she said, handing me one of the red markers this time, "Here, try again, but like this." She said, starting to draw on the wall at a different spot. I did the same, copying her movements.
If it were anyone else, they probably would have kicked me put of there house for getting black sharpie on their walls. But no, not Dakota. No, she wants me to make MORE black designs on her walls. Gee, this I tell you, is why she's my best friend.
"Look, Cora, you actually did it!…well, sorta." Dakota said happily to me as she looked at our identical bunnies. Well…what were supposed to look like bunnies. They looked more like giant blobs of distorted frogs.
Me and Dakota quickly capped our sharpies and stood, going over and throwing ourselves down on her purple silk bed sheets.
"I'm bored." I sighed contently as Dakota grabbed the remote and flicked on the discovery channel. I swear, that girl was obsessed with history. She pushed her long, straight brown hair out of her navy blue eyes and focused on some show about the ancient Egyptians.
"Me too." She said with a sigh, looking over to me as I made a silly face at her, my light blue eyes going wide and my curly blond hair getting blown out of my face as I let out a big breath.
"You're boring." I told her simply as I stood from her bed and stretched.
"You're a butt face." She said calmly, getting off her bed as well and flicking off the T.V.
"What do you want to do?" I asked as we bounded down the steps and into her kitchen. No one was home at her house, like always, so it was just us.
"Your mom." She said with an over the top wink and a small smile. "What do you want to do?"
"Lucius Malfoy." I told her with a giant grin on my face, referring to the character from our favorite book series, Harry Potter. That man was just plain beautiful.
"Well, he is pretty handsome." Dakota said with a knowing smile as she gabbed us two bottles of water from her fridge.
"Stunning." I said, taking a sip of the water. It was way too hot in here.
"Gorgeous." She said, causing us both to laugh a little. I smiled at her as we both sat down on her living room couch and starred at nothing in particular. We were so boring.
Dakota sighed. I sighed. Dakota rolled her eyes. I rolled my eyes. Dakota was quiet. I was quiet. I couldn't help but feel like a copy cat.
"Merlin's underpants, what is there to do around here!" I said, giving the fire place a steady glare as my mind rambled on with the possibilities of what to do.
"We could…" Dakota started, not finishing her statement. Which only made me more aggravated.
"We could go see what Brady is doing." I said with a shrug as we exchanged an excited look.
Brady was my older brother. You know, the annoying brother who's a year older then you and has the completely hot, gorgeous, insanely beautiful friends. That was my brother. Of course, no ones as beautiful as Lucius.
Ever since I could remember, I've had the biggest crush on Collin, and Dakota's been in love with Seth. It's just always been that way. Not that those two freaking idiots would ever realize that we were majorly crushing on them. Boys.
Especially now that they've been going through those massive growth spurts. I mean, those boys were just huge now.
I felt like I should hate them, I mean, me and my brother have been best friends forever, but now that they were in the picture, I've been seeing less and less of him. Especially the last few weeks. He's barely been home and I was starting to miss him. I guess I couldn't bee too mad at him though, I mean, he still turned the coffee pot on for me in the mornings. What more could a girl ask for?
But it's been four weeks since we've seen him or Collin and Seth, and we were going through big brother's hot best friends withdraw.
"You mean go see Seth? Psh, fruit loops yeah!" Dakota said, using her immature vocabulary…not that I could talk, I mean, she gets that from me.
"Okay! They'll be at the beach. They always are. Lets just…coincidentally show up there then?" I said with a giggle. "I'm pretty sure there's going to be a wicked good bonfire soon anyway!"
"Okay, okay, stop! You're getting me all excited! Let's go get ready!" She squeaked excitedly as she grabbed my hand and dragged me up the steps behind her. I grinned uncontrollably as she threw dresses, jeans, and shirts at me as she dug through her closet.
I loved this girl. I mean, not just the fact that we were both about 5'2 and weighed about one hundred and twenty pound, meaning we fit perfectly into each others clothes, I mean, I really, truly loved this girl. She was like my twin sister.
"Wear this!" She said excitedly as she shoved a short, white miniskirt in my face, along with a light blue tank top and a pair of matching flip flops. I did as I was asked and put the outfit on. Looking myself over in the mirror and smiling. I looked great…but my brother definitely wouldn't approve of this outfit. I grabbed my thin, grey zip up hoody and zipped it half way up. There, much better.
"You wear this." I said, handing her a navy colored sun dress that matched her eyes. She smiled widely and striped down to her black underwear before putting the perfectly fitting dress on. I smiled at her as she fixed the thin straps and smoothed out the fabric.
"We look awesome!" Dakota exclaimed as she put on a layer of black mascara, refusing to give me any because in her words, "You Don't need mascara Cora, your eyelashes are already long, dark, and thick enough for the both of us."
"Come on! We're going to be later then Squidward Tenticals is to work!" I said as I grabbed her hand and drug her down the steps.
"I'm driving!" Dakota screamed as we made our way out into the freezing cold weather.
"Erg, you drive slower then my uncle Herman!" I moaned as I slid into the passenger seat, watching as Dakota bounced happily into the driver seat of her little yellow bunch buggy.
"You don't have an uncle Herman sweetie." Dakota said with a giant smile as she started the engine.
"Oh yeah…"
Okay, so this idea has been brewing in my head for a while…what do you think of it? Good so far? Bad? Terrible?
