Chapter 7
CAR WASH
(Elizabeth)
When I woke up I looked to see Jasmine was gone out the room already. With a sigh, I rolled out of bed. I went into the bathroom I stepped on the scale. I frowned. 'Fatty'. I took a shower then got dressed. I put on some blue jeans and a navy tank top. I walked downstairs. I ate some yogurt and started reading a magazine. 'Wow, Ashley got that job, skinny witch'. I thought. I then got a text.
Jeremy- Get your butt down to this photo shoot I scheduled you.
Elizabeth- whatever you say, sweetheart. ?
I texted back. 'Great now, I have to find a ride yay'. I walked over to Logan.
"Wanna take me somewhere"?
"Go find someone else to chauffeur you around. I have a mission I need to take care off". I sighed heavily and walked to my only other option. I knocked on Scott's door.
"Done trying to ignore me"?
"Salty much, I need a ride to my job".
"Don't you have a car"!?
"Yeah but my license has been suspended".
"Your license is suspended and I let you drive my car"?!
"Yeah whatever can you take me please".
"Fine". I followed him to the garage. I got in the car. "So how long is this going to take"?
"It'll be over before you know it".
"So a while".
"Pretty much".
When we arrived I got into my outfit. It was a genie-themed photoshoot. It had blue pants that were sheer but had solid blue shorts. The top was blue and had sheer sleeves. The top was a belly shirt. From the bottom of the top hung silver, my hair was put in a high ponytail and curled. I had blue eyeshadow and a light gloss on my lips. I walked out we started taking pictures.
"Wait, wait, wait something isn't right"! The designer said. I rolled my hazel eyes.
"Try a different pose". The photographer instructed me to do a different pose. "No that's not it. It's the model".
"Excuse me". I said as politely as I could.
"It's all wrong on you I need someone thinner". I frowned. 'It's always thin, thin, thin with these people they do know models are people to right'?
"Well, what do you suggest I do"?
"I'll give you a week to lose the weight or I'm going to have another girl wear my design. That is all we are done here". With that, he left. I got dressed back into the outfit I came in and met up with Scott who had been on the sidelines the entire time.
"Lucky for you the shoot ended short notice".
"Can he just do that end the photo shoot"?!
"He's the designer apparently they can do whatever they please".
"Does he really expect you to lose more weight you're already thin enough".
"Yeah I'll just have to stop eating junk food then I should be good".
"Alright, whatever you say let's go. I've got plans".
"Washing your car is not considered plans".
"Whatever Elizabeth".
"I'll help if you want since you drove me up here for literally nothing".
"Alright but you have to follow my specific instructions". I rolled my eyes.
When we got home I got dressed in something I could wash a car on. I put on my blue shirt that was too big for me and some pink shorts underneath. I had my pink bathing suit on to underneath that shirt just in case. I then pulled my blonde locks in a loose bun.
"Are you going to the pool"? Jasmine asked.
"No". I said simply.
"Elizabeth you're not spending time with a certain someone are you".
"Look a mutated butterfly"! Jasmine just glared at me.
"Elizabeth"!
"It's just washing a car". Jasmine rolled her eyes.
"Don't say I didn't warn you". I walked outside to see Scott filling a bucket with water.
"Took you long enough".
"You're just jealous cause I always dress for every accusation perfectly".
"Sure here's a sponge". He tossed me a yellow car sponge.
"Thanks". I dipped it in the soup bucket that he had just finished filling with water. "And you're sure I can touch your precious car".
"You're not touching her the sponge is".
"You're mental". I said beginning to rub soapy water on the windshield. He did the same but on the back of the car. "So why are you washing your car anyways? It doesn't look dirty to me".
"Well, I wanted to wash her one last time myself before the weather started to get cold. Also, I have a date with Jean today".
"Oh, a date where are you taking her"?
"None of your business".
"I read the tabloids I'm in everyone's business".
"Some Italian restaurant she wanted to go to".
"Sound boring and delicious". I said smiling. I then went to get the hose.
"Be gentle rinsing her off".
"Ok, I've ignored it up to now that you call your car she because I know you're crazy but this is just sad". I said rinsing then car off.
"Careful"! Scott said worriedly.
"Don't worry I've washed a car before".
"Elizabeth give me the hose".
"No". He tried to take the hose from me so I turned and sprayed him with water.
"Oops".
"That's it". Scott ran and got the soap bucket.
"Wait, wait"! I said running he quite easily caught up with me and proceeded to dump the cold soapy water on my head. I aimed the hose which I still had and sprayed Scott. He very easily overpowered me and got the hose away from me. He then proceeded to spray me with the hose. I put my hands up to block.
"Having fun"? I turned to see Hank standing there his arms crossed and he dripped soaking wet. I put my hand over my mouth stifling a laugh.
"Sorry, we were just washing my car". Scott said.
"Try and keep it contained". Hank said looking anything but pleased.
"Sorry Hank". I said a silly grin still on my face.
"It's alright". He said then he walked away. I then broke out into laughter.
"You started this"! Scott said.
"Yeah well, I didn't get Hank wet did I"? I said Scott sprayed me. "Quit it". I said. I let Scott rinse his car off as I took my oversized blue shirt off.
"Ready to dry her off". Scott said.
"Yeah". I said getting a towel. Scott and I dried the car with towels.
"Thanks for your help Elizabeth she looks good".
"I know that's because I helped anyways you should probably get dressed for your date with Jean".
"Great it's going to take me extra long to get dry". I gave him a hug. "What are you doing"? I dried him off and myself by evaporating the water. I then let go of him.
"There you go". I said picking up my blue shirt. I dried it out too.
"Cool, I forget you could do that thanks".
"No problem anyways I should go take a shower". I said walking inside.
"Knock knock". I said as I walked into the room. Jasmine was sitting on the bed reading a book about mystic arts I think.
"How was washing the car wash"?
"Fun". I said walking into the bathroom. I took a shower. I put on some black shorts and a black shirt that said "Beauty Queen" in red letters. I sat on my bed I pulled out a chocolate bar from my drawer.
"How are you still skinny"? Jasmine said.
"Apparently I'm fat at least that's what the designer I was trying to work for said".
"You can't listen to them".
"I know I just wish they would realize how hard it is to lose weight". I said taking a bite out of my chocolate bar. Then there was a knock at our door. I got up and opened the door. "Scott what a nice surprise"! I said throwing the chocolate bar that was in my hand back.
"Hey watch it"! Jasmine said. I just ignored her.
"Why aren't you on your date"? I asked.
"First I totally saw you throw that candy bar, and Jean was called on a mission".
"Oh I'm sorry not to sound mean, but why are you here"?
"Bored I guess".
"Don't you have guy things to do like I don't know sports"?
"Am I interrupting something"? Scott asked.
"Yes, it's end of the day girl talk time". I said smiling.
"Actually I think I'm going to head out". Jasmine said getting up.
"But girl talk".
"We'll talk later". She said she walked out the room. 'So much for girl talk'. I thought.
"Come in I guess". I said taking a step back. Scott walked in.
"I can already see whose side of the room is whose". Scott said.
"I've always liked decorating". I said still standing by the closed door. Scott sat on my bed and looked at me.
"You ok"?
"Yup". 'Calm down calm down he probably just came to talk. Is it just me or does he look extra hot right now? Get ahold of yourself'. I said shaking my head. 'Why does he have to be with Jean? Not being able to have him makes me want him more. You know what would be nice a make-out session'. My inappropriate thoughts were interrupted by Scott's hand on my forehead.
"Are you feeling ok you're burning up"?
"Fine ice get hot"! I yelled then exited the room.
I ended up in the living room. I got an ice pack and rested it on my forehead. I sighed deeply.
"I'm an idiot". I said aloud.
"Don't beat yourself up". A voice I never heard before said. I turned to look who was talking to me. It was a guy with beautiful blue eyes and blonde hair. But what I focused on was his angel wings.
"Oh my God did I die are you like my guardian angel"?! I said.
"No, I'm a mutant like you this is just my mutation". I got up and looked at his wings.
"They're pretty can I touch them"? I said looking so intrigued.
"Sure I guess". I started touching his wings. 'Oh my God they're so soft. The world really did screw me over. Why couldn't I get a cool mutation like wings?! Do you know how hot I would look with wings'? I thought. I then remembered there was a human being attached to these gorgeous wings.
"Sorry I've never seen angel wings before guess I'm still new to the whole mutant thing".
"There you are. Are you alright"? I heard Scott say.
"Sorry I um ran off". I said.
"I see you met Warren". Scott said.
"More like she met my wings". Warren said. I felt my face get warm with embarrassment.
"So mind explaining what fine ice get hot means". Scott said. I simply glared at him the walked off to my room. I sat on my bed and began to eat my chocolate bar once more. I heard knocking on the door. "Elizabeth it's me let me in". I heard Scott say.
"No". I said irritated. He persisted to knock on the door. I finally got up and opened it. "What"?!
"I'm sorry I made fun of you like that and I shouldn't of just waltz up in here". He said holding a pint of ice cream.
"An offering"? I asked raising one eyebrow. He nodded I took the ice cream and pulled him into the room.
"What are you doing"? He asked.
"Forcing you to watch old-timey movies".
"I guess I deserve that". We sat on Jasmine's bed since you could see the tv from her bed. Around halfway through my head seemed to "accidentally" fall onto Scott's shoulder. I started to get tired like this to the point where I knew I was about to fall asleep. I was so peaceful I didn't care. So I let my eyes close and let myself drift into peaceful dreams.
(Iris)
I stepped onto something I believe it was some sort of vehicle.
"Is this how we're getting to the new place"?
"Yes, Iris now lay down and relax". I was lifted up and placed on something soft.
"We'll be on are way soon enough". The doctor said I closed my eyes and relaxed.
