Not a lot of kinkiness in this chapter but don't worry there will be a lot in the next couple. I was also thinking about starting another Kick-Ass story about Mindy but who should I pair her with this time? Miranda/Night Bitch or someone else? Please Review!
I, Layla Williams was going to do something I never thought I would do and it was all for a girl. Will was right about coming clean with her, I had to do something because there was no way he was getting between me and my future wife…well, a girl can dream.
We went over a few topics that were typical with these things and I got to do some more shit with the baton. All I wanted to do was kiss that beautiful face of hers again. Our parents still had no idea that we were both missing school, I knew Gwen's parents would not be as kind as mine and I knew I would be grounded until I was 30 if word got out. I didn't even tell them about the pageant, it was held on a Sunday. Gwen was glad it was after church or else she said she would have to miss me and my big moment. Gwen was prepping my make up backstage, I stared deep into those deep pools of hers, she was so much like an anime character.
"Gwen, I…"
"Don't talk yet." she was an artist, I had to look perfect, I was her muse after all. "There. You look amazing", she showed me the mirror. I did have to admit, I almost looked as good as her. My eyelashes and purple eye shadow really looked good, I just wish i could breath in the one piece bathing suit I was wearing.
"Thanks, Gwen, I could never have done this without you", she smiled a 'what are friends for?' kind of smile. I was about to bring up the letter but the pageant was about to begin and I had to get in position with the other girls. I never had much of a chance to see what everyone else looked like, many looked like they had really caked on the makeup, some looked like clowns, this was so ridiculous, what was I doing here? Gwen, of course you're here for Gwen you dummy, now don't let her down. When I was supposed to make it over with the other girls to the stage, I was given a swift pat on the ass for encouragement.
Each girl was introduced, that's when I noticed one of the girls, Penny. Oh shit! I didn't see her in any of the Sky High pageant videos so why would she be here? Was it because Gwen wasn't? I guess that made sense, her chances were a lot better even though she couldn't compare to such a Goddess. Penny saw me looking, at first I didn't think she would recognize me with the makeup and my hair done up but it wasn't like I was wearing a superhero mask or anything. She gave me such an evil stare, I knew I was doomed, I could feel it in my gut.
It took a while but I got to watch Penny take to the stage and answer questions about what she thinks are important for the country and the rest of the world. She had the worst fake smile, she looked like such an idiot that I wanted to punch her in the face. She gave the typical answers a bimbo would at one of these things, she didn't want to sound too smart at one of these things. She received undeserved applause. It was coming closer to my turn and I was feeling the pressure, what if I tripped and made a complete fool of myself? What if I gave stupid responses? But Gwen made sure I was ready, she quizzed me on a bunch of stuff, a lot they I already knew about when it came to politics and the environment. Still, I already could hear myself choking on my words.
My name was called, I walked out and the first thing I saw in the crows were my parents. Fuck! How did they know? Why would they even come to this they were supposed to be out of town today which was one of the reasons Gwen wanted to have the party at my house. The expression on their faces were priceless, they knew this was so unlike me. My dad had the camera ready, they were never going to let me forget about it. I approached the microphone that needed adjustment for my height, I was at least a foot taller than Penny and a few of the other girls. The guy asking questions was the same dude who did the Sky High pageants I saw in all of Gwen's videos, it was surreal.
"Layla, your first question is: How would you as youth save mother Earth?"
I guess we were going in deep first. I thought for a second and answered, "I would bring awareness to the cause. Become a point of reference for people to see what they can do to make our world a better place."
I thought I handled it pretty well but then when it came to the performances, my heart sank when I saw so many girls holding batons, including Penny. Every girl was so flawless including the girls twirling ribbons. I could see Gwen's face poking out behind the curtain, she gave me a worried look, she knew I was fucked. Penny was a cheerleader so of course she would do well, she was flexible and not a geek like me. Gwen gave me some words of encouragement when she handed me my baton, "Try not to hit yourself in the head too much." That made me smile.
I was up and I tried to put a new spin on what I learned which was a good idea and a bad idea, good idea because it set me apart from the rest, bad idea because I didn't memorize these new moves I did on the spot so I looked like I had never even seen a baton before. The crowd applauded none the less. We were all made to stand on stage as the results came in for the Miss . My palms were sweaty, I don't know why, I knew I wasn't going to win but to see Gwen's expression if I did would be priceless.
The announcer took the envelope from the judges, "And the winner of the 41st Miss American Teen Beauty Pageant is Layla Williams!"
I was shocked, this was crazy, how could I win, I was the worst! Before I went up to accept my tierra and flowers, I blew a very ecstatic Gwen a kiss. It was like being crowned as royalty, but my reign was quickly taken away from me the second someone in attendance said, "Hey, isn't that tweak girl?" Laughter followed and soon I realized there were quite a few students from Sky High here and I couldn't believe it, Miss Powers. She was hard to pick out up until now, she was walking over to one of the judges and talking to them very seriously. I looked over and saw Penny giving me an evil look. It was all over. My crown was stripped as well as my sash and flowers.
I walked backstage with my head hanging, Gwen was upset, maybe more so than me, "Disqualified? That's such bullshit! Miss Powers has no right to do that!"
"I'm sorry, Gwen, I let you down."
She gave me a hug and whispered, "You didn't let me down, you were so great out there. You should be real proud of yourself."
"Gwen, I need to tell you something about that letter."
"What letter? The one from Will?"
"Will didn't write it…I did."
Gwen pushed away from me and looked a bit surprised, "You? You wrote it?", I nodded and Gwen looked away from me for a second, "Whoa. That letter was so heart felt and personal. Did you really mean all of it?"
"Yes, Gwen, every word. I love you."
Gwen put her arms around me again, tighter this time, I could see a tear streak down her cheek, "I love you too!" She kissed my cheek, "I love you so much, Layla. I love you so much it hurts, I just didn't want to admit it."
"Come on, let's get out of here", I said, I took her hand and we exited through the back to avoid any kind of confrontation from my parents. We were greeted by many of the students from Sky High, they cheered me, well us.
"You were robbed, Layla, that was your crown!", one person said.
"You're awesome!", someone else said.
Penny walked up to us, I guess she didn't win, she looked pissed, "Why are you guys cheering these lesbos?"
Gwen folded her arms and spoke up, "Penny, did you have something to do with our video going public?"
"I had nothing to do with that disgusting video getting out, Grayson!"
"You made a video too" I blurted.
"Yeah, you did. How come you never got into any trouble?"
"What are you talking about? I would never make a tweak video."
"You're such a liar!", I was getting angry now but Gwen made sure I didn't make a scene by holding me back.
"Forget her, Layla", she said, "Hey, everyone! Party at Layla's house tonight!" Everyone cheered, I was mortified.
"But, Gwen", I whispered as everyone cheered, "My parents…they're still in town."
"We'll figure something out, don't worry. I want tonight to be special", she smiled widely, "And Penny and any of her lame ass friends aren't welcome!"
Gwen walked me home, I had some explaining to my parents. I just hoed Miss Powers didn't tell then about my suspension yet.
