Chapter 2
Alexa's POV
Jade and I were currently at Cup of Ankh Coffee, a coffee shop owned by Aunt Joy and Aunt Patricia, Jade's mom. They won't tell us where they got the name, but every time they say the name, all of the parents exchange not-so-secret secret glances.
After we finished our homework, We worked on the song. WE FINALLY FINISHED! We jumped up and down, and laughed, and Aunt Patricia and Aunt Joy had to tell us to be quiet, and then apologize to their customers. When we quieted down, Jade handed me the paper with our song...
Make up any song you want. I am NOT a songwriter :P
I couldn't believe we finally finished. I quickly texted Max, and Jade texted James. We were both going on a double date to celebrate in thirty minutes. We quickly packed our stuff, and raced back to Anubis House. We quickly changed, me into a dark, red, mid-thigh length dress, black, capris leggings with studs at the bottom, and black flats with studs on the toes. I brushed my hair out, braided two parts of it on the left side, and then pinned them to the side of my head with bobby pins. I also wore red, rose shaped earrings, and a small necklace with a red rose pendant.
"Can I just wear jeans and a top?" Jade asked, groaning, as I put my makeup (light eyeshadow, thin eyeliner, a small amount of mascara, a little bit of blush, and a tiny amount of pink lip gloss. I was going to be eating) on.
"Are you kidding me! Absolutely not! James and Max are taking us to a fancy restaurant, so we will be dressing fancy!" I exclaim. Most people say I get that attitude from my mom.
"Fine, but you're picking my clothes," Jade said, while flopping onto her bed, and picking up her iPod. She listens to heavy metal music, something I will never understand why, but I decide not to question it.
I roll my eyes at my best friend's lack of love for fashion, and open her wardrobe. I pick out a black and silver, sparkly, knee length dress with half sleeves, some black shorts for her to wear under it (all of our moms told us to never wear a dress without shorts), and black boots that look fancy enough. I throw the stuff on Jade, who shrieks, but gets up to change. While she changes, I get makeup and accessories for her to wear. When Jade finishes changing, she sits down, and I get to work.
"You do know I look like a vampire who is desperately trying to be a cheerleader, right?" She asks sarcastically. I laugh slightly.
"Not at all. You look perfect!" I squeal. Jade just rolls her eyes.
"I have got to get new friends," she mutters, but I ignore her as I start her makeup. I know what kind of makeup she likes, so I used most of that. No eyeshadow (makes blinking feel sticky. Or so she says), thick eyeliner, thick mascara, but not too much, very tiny amount of blush (She doesn't want to look like a cartoon character), and dark, red lipstick. I give her a black, silk choker necklace, black earring studs, and pin the right side of her dyed-red hair back. The red hair was an idea she got from pictures of her mom when she was our age, and it looks pretty good.
When we were ready, we headed downstairs to meet James and Max.
"I'm just gonna guess that Alexa made you wear that," James said the moment we reached them. Jade groaned, and looked at me.
"Well she looks good!" I exclaim. James whispers something in her ear which makes Jade blush uncharacteristically. Max takes my hand, and he and James lead us out to his car.
When we got to the restaurant (an extremely fancy and expensive one called Gordon Ramsay) we got a booth, and sang our song for James and Max. They liked it, but that could be just because they were our boyfriends. I had a good time, and was exhausted when I went to bed.
