Chapter 3

"Alright. Do you need me to drive you home?" Maria turned to me.

"Whoa!" She exclaimed.

"What's wrong." I asked.

"Your outfit. You've gotten a lot more..." She trailed off. I was wearing a black turtle neck, black corset, black mini skirt, sheer tights, and black heeled combat boots. I had black gloves, and a black hat.

"Yeah. I would've dyed my hair black... Except I wouldn't able to model like this." I shrugged.

"And you would've pierced your ears much more. You've got chandeliers coming from your ears! I don't think we'll ever have to worry about you getting spotted in public!" Maria gently shook her head and pointed to the passenger seat.

"Get in. I'm driving you home." Maria gave her signature smile.

"So how's it going with your delightful boyfriend?" I attacked her with this question as soon as she closed her door. She laughed and leaned her forehead against the steering wheel.

"Sis? Mari? Mar? What's so funny?" I asked.

"Well, as a matter of fact... He asked me out on a date recently." Maria blushed as she looked up.

"And you haven't gone on a lot of dates. Have you? Should I help you prepare?" I wiggled my eyebrows.

"Andrea!" She laughed at my silliness. "Yeah, we haven't. This is like, our second official date." She blushed. When did my sister become so cute. I was jealous, and happy for her.

"So do you accept my help?" I tilted my head.

"Well." She started up the car. "I already told Daisy that we could go shopping together." She pulled out of the parking lot.

"It's fine. Daisy and I get along really well. I hung out with her pretty recently." I added. She looked over at me.

"What? You've been befriending my friends?" She gasped, eyes still on the road. Maria was a careful driver.

"Yeah. She asked me if I wanted to hang out sometime, so we did." I shrugged.

"Ugh! She likes you! Interested in an adult way! You can't then!" Maria starting speeding.

"Maria... Careful, you're speeding. Besides, she would be jail bait if that were the case. She turned 18 recently. It will be awhile before I'm 18, and Daisy isn't one to wait. She will give up easily." I sighed heavily. "But if it makes you feel better, I won't come."

"Whew! That makes me a lot more relaxed, though we do need to hang out, and I know you're just a huge softie!" Maria squealed, veering off her original point.

"A sofite who blows up on her entire family! You would never believe what FATHER did!" I exclaimed. Maria's brows wrinkled.

"What did he do now?"

"Okay. So I was sleeping, having an awesome dream. When suddenly - screaming! Two loud, spoiled, greedy, little girls woke me up. They were fighting over one of my corsets! And when I asked then what they were doing, they explained the Father let them. Father thought that I should give all my things to them basically. He wanted to spoil them innocently! They lost some of their clothes in the move, which, I tell you, it was purposeful. I saw the trash bags of their clothes being thrown out last night. So, they pretended they lost it! Evidence right there! And so I told Father that everything I had I bought with my own money, which I did! You were there, and it took them forever to get it! So I screamed that I was surrounded by idiots! Because I was!" I added at Maria's disapproving face.

"So then I promised to go shopping with the family. That got them really confused, and I'm not looking forward to it, but whatever." I gave a little shrug.

"Oh my... Andrea... Well, text me if it begins to really suck! Anyways," Maria's tone of voice changed drastically.

"So tell me. Who were those two delicious boys?" Maria smiled.

"Ugh! The sliver haired one is our neighbor, and the other one... Is his friend. I think he's been scouted out before. I recognized him, Castiel. He was the one with the really mean and proud girl. Deborah. I disliked her." I shook my head.

"Deborah? So did I. She convinced Sam, the scouter, or manager," She added at my confused face. "To not take Castiel. Saying that he was handing out autographs, but that totally goes against the image he projected."

"Well, school's tomorrow. Let's see if he's actually the bad boy that he seems like." I shrugged.

"They go to your school?" Maria's interest was perked again.

"I'm guessing so." I gave a shrug, knowing where it was going.

"So which one do you like more? Neighbor boy, or our little bad boy Castiel?" Maria giggled.

"Maria!" I exclaimed, even though I knew that's what she was going to ask. "I barely even know them!"

"What's neighbor boy's name anyway. Tell me more!" Maria begged for more details.

"Well, neighbor boy, as you called him. His name is Lysander, he's got a brother, really polite, potentially gay. If he's not, then he's just a really good friend. Lysander wears Victorian clothes, and apparently is in the same grade as me. Castiel, well... We already know about him. He's kinda rude. No. Not kinda. Really rude. Really super rude. Called me a little kid!" I huffed.

"You're no kid, Andrea. 5 foot 7, and 34C. Definitely not a little kid."

"Oh sure. Just announce all my measurements to the world!" I grumbled.

"Oh... Is our big girl Andrea embarrassed?" Maria cooed. I smacked her arm lightly.

"Maria!"

"Relax. I need to know all your measurements, anyways!" Maria raised her hands up for the stop light.

"True, but that doesn't mean you need to shout them." I grumbled once again. Maria rolled down the windows.

"HEY WORLD!" Maria called out.

"Oh no you don't!" I reached over to muffle her mouth, she stuck her head out the window.

"MY LITTLE SISTER, ANDREA IS A 34C!" Maira shrieked. I began to tickle her. There was a loud cough. We both looked over.

It was Lysander and Castiel. Castiel had a huge dog, tugging on the leash. Their eyes were wide open with surprise. Maria and I did get pretty crazy when we were together, but right now... Both were blushing. And people called teenage boys today perverts.

"Oops!" Maria's voice was soft, but I heard it.

"Maria..." I slowly turned my head towards her.

"Green light! I'M SORRY!" She yelled. I was flung back in my seat.

"Maria..." I growled.

"I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!" Maria shrank down in her seat, gripping the steering wheel tightly.

"AH HA HA HA HA!" I burst out laughing.

"Andrea?" Maria glanced over at me like I was crazy, which I probably am.

"I haven't even started school yet, and I already have a horrible reputation!" I began laughing again.

"Andrea? Don't you care?" Maria continued glancing over at me like I was crazy.

"Maria, since when did I care?" I asked, wiping away a tear, before laughing again.

"Just forget that I even asked." Maria shook her head slightly and blasted the radio. We spent the rest of the car ride screaming our heads off to whatever song came on.
