So here's Chapter 4. I finished this one pretty recently. So I hope it's good. Enjoy!
Here's the thing. If I'm about to go somewhere, and Stacy's home, I get to play, dress up. She gets to pick my outfit, and she gets to fix my make up and hair. Don't get me wrong, she's very good at it, and yes, sometimes I like what she picks out, or how she changes my appearance, it just gets annoying. I also learned this rule, sit still or die. When she does my hair, there is NO mercy. She is violent. Thus, why I make sure I don't move one inch.
She went through a series of, no, no, no, no, maybe, no, no, no, no, no, maybe, no, no, YES! She does this every time she goes through my not so organized closet. With all the running around I do, there isn't much time for my poor old closet. Maybe I need to clean it soon. Lost in my thoughts, I hadn't noticed that Stacy had picked out something. She turned around and walked towards me. I know she has a hard time finding things in my closet, just because there isn't a ton of colors she wears. She had picked out my white mini-skirt and a hot pink tank top. I wasn't going out like that of course, she had picked out my gray vest as well. "Could work." I said." But, the skirt has to go. I was thinking more like my grey shorts or something." She rolled her eyes at me and began digging for my gray shorts. She returned with them and set them on my bed. "Thanks." I said. Having a super picky sister wasn't all that bad, as long as she doesn't tell me her thoughts when I really don't want to hear them.
I got dressed and walked down the stairs. I had decided on pulling my brown hair in a half up, and changed my makeup a little, just the eye shadow, which was now a light silver color. I decided I would dig through my closet to find my black high-top converse. Yes, I have some to. Three pairs actually, I just don't wear them as often as Stacy does. "Ok, now, how do I look." I asked when I had reached the bottom of the stairs. "Absolutely gorgeous." said Goten. Ms. Manderline gave him a smack on his arm. " I believe you mean beautiful." she said. I laughed. " It's the same thing." said Goten. He was rubbing his arm. Like I said, that woman is stronger than she looks. She took down an old man for whistling at her. It was funny, and really scary. This is why me and Stacy never ever sneak up on her. We may be stronger but, we don't have all the training Ms. Manderline has. " So, are you ready now?" asked Goten snapping me out of the flashback. I nodded and headed for the door. " Now... now... honey, be back before five, alright?" shouted Ms. Manderline as I walked out the door hand in hand with my boyfriend. I gave her a slight wave with my other hand and disappeared.

As we drove to the mall, I decided I would call Amy and invite her and Trunks on our little shopping trip. I then learned the news that Trunks was busy tonight and couldn't go. " Did you know about that?" I asked Goten. He just smiled. "Goten, what is he doing?" I continued. " Grace, why does it matter." he asked. " It matters because Amy is my friend and I want to know what her boyfriend is doing when he never really is all that busy." I said. Goten didn't answer me, instead he kept quiet. " Goten, pweeeez tell me." I pouted, giving him the puppy dog eyes. He glanced at me, then the road, and then back at me. " Aw, Grace. Why do you do that? You know... Ok! I'll tell you. We're going out to have a guy's night." My mouth dropped. I had forgotten all about the crap I was going to give him for being such a softie and giving into the puppy eyes. " Seriously?" I asked. He nodded. " Wow, good for you. That will be fun." I said.
I kept thinking about how my boyfriend was going out. It was actually very stunning. He usually wouldn't do something like that. But I guess something new is all the better. I didn't stop thinking about it until we reached the mall. " Goten?" I asked, toying with my new accessory that he had given me just the night before. "Hmmm?" he answered. "Your not going to cheat on me are you?" I asked. I knew I had asked a lot of questions, but it was important. "Gracey, babe, I love you. Ok? I saw you and fell for you and only you. Ok? So don't you ever think about questioning that, and if you do. Look at the engraving on your necklace." he said, pointing at the pendant that hung over my breasts. I decided to read the engraving again. "I'll love you forever." I quoted. He nodded. "I meant it. I really will." he said. He then kissed me and got out of the car. He then came around and opened my door. "My lady." he said, holding out his hand. I couldn't help but giggle at his attempt to be a gentleman. He is very good at being one, but this act was meant to be silly. I could tell by the smile that beamed on his face.
"So where do you want to go?" he asked. We were walking hand in hand, his bigger than my own dainty hand. Still as we walked, I toyed with the pendant, and thought about Stacy and Trunks. "I think they would make a good couple." I said. "Who would?" asked Goten. He looked around him trying to find out just who I was talking about. "Trunks and Stacy." I answered." Where did that come from?" he asked. " I dunno, I was just thinking about Amy and Trunks, and then how my sister doesn't ever do much, kinda like Trunks, and how if they liked each other, that they would have more fun, because they wouldn't have to stay away from necessarily EVERYONE, because they would have each other, and would be able to cope, and get along and..." I was going to continue but Goten stopped me. "Babe, don't worry about it. Not now anyway. Let's go... this way." he said, starting to pull me in a different direction. Then I noticed that he was looking at something, or, someone in the distance. So, I planted my feet. "Grace, come on." he said still looking in the distance. "Not until you tell me what's the matter." I said. He was taller than me, a lot taller, for me being only five foot, five. He let out a small sigh before telling me. Then he grabbed my waist and lifted me just a little off the ground so I could see. "Do you see the girl, with the blonde hair next to the guy with darker blonde hair?" he asked. " Uh, I think so." I answered. " Well that's who we're staying away from." he said, setting me down, and pulling me again. " But, wait. Goten. She's at the store where I want to go." I pouted. It really was where I wanted to go. He seemed to think about it before he said anything. "Ok." he said. I grabbed his hand in mine, and squeezed it a little, letting him know I love him. He smiled a little and bent down to kiss me. Pulling me closer in the process.
We walked towards the store, slowly but we moved. The girl was sadly still there with her companion. Which I was assuming to be her boyfriend. During our walk, Goten informed me of who she really was. She was his ex, the girl he was dating and then dumped, when he went out with me. Which was back in seventh grade. There wasn't any problem for me with her being his ex, well, that was, until she noticed us.
She saw Goten first. Then me. She looked pissed. She walked up to Goten. Her companion behind her looked scared. He was a ton smaller and weaker than Goten. "It's been awhile. I'm sure you have had several more girlfriends since then." she said. Goten shook his head. " Nope. I've just been with Gracey. For the last four years." he said, gesturing in my direction. I gave a small wave. She still looked pissed. "Seriously? You have been with her all that time. She looks nothing like me. She is no where near as pretty as me." she said. I rolled my eyes. I wasn't mad. I really didn't even care. Goten started laughing. I glanced at him. "Your right Lani, she's not as pretty as you." he said. I looked at him in disbelief. "She's far more beautiful than you could ever wish to be. You may be pretty, but nothing compares to beauty." he continued. That seemed to really piss her off. Instead of touching him. She looked at me for a minute. I stared back. Next thing I knew, I took a hard slap across the face. I had to admit. It didn't hurt bad at all. " You took him away from me you skanky whore! We were happy!" she shouted. I was trying to ignore her. But her presence made me want to hurt her. Bad. " Ok, listen. First: If he was really happy, he wouldn't have dumped you. Second: get over it. It was four years ago." I said calmly. She then proceeded to slap me again. I grabbed her wrist. I squeezed tighter and tighter. She seemed to be in pain. If I squeezed any tighter, her wrist would snap. Her pain gave me pleasure. Although I was careful to remain impassive. "Gracey stop your hurting her." said Goten, bringing me back to him. I let go of Lani's wrist. "If you ever touch me again I will break it." I said. Then I grabbed Goten's hand and proceeded to walk into the store. I didn't look back. There was no reason to. She did hit me first.

"Gracey, what was that all about." asked Goten once we were in the store. I shrugged. "I don't like to be hit. Tell me, that you didn't want me to hurt her." I said. He wouldn't say he didn't want me to. He would've loved to do what I had done. But he was a man, and it was illegal to lay a strong hand against a woman. Goten let out a sigh that you make when you love someone. It was kind of cute. "Grace, what am I going to do with you?" he asked, bending down so that his lips reached mine.
Well, you have now reached the end of chapter 4. I know, I know, she is kinda violent. Chapter 5 reveals more. Thanks for reading and please subscribe! :D
