"Lauren, are you done yet?!" screeched Kally, as Lauren wove her hair into
some intricate design before the dance. She sat in front of her bureau, the
night of the dance, Lauren doing her make up and hair.
"I'm almost done would you chill out?!" Lauren snapped. Kally was being a pain in the ass, and if she just sat still this would have been done ages ago.
"My make up looks very well, thanks Lauren......I actually look...pretty!" Kally giggled despite herself. She indeed did look very nice. Lauren had put a pale pink shimmer on her eyelids, mixing well with her pale skin. She sheered the same color on her full lips, and just added a tiny bit of blush to each cheek. She looked beautiful...in her own little way.
"Well you can't put make up on for shit!" Lauren laughed. "I had to do my own, including my hair..."
Kally sighed. "This is so pathetic. I don't even want to go anymore........I mean, sure we look nice, but that's it. We'll dance with our boyfriends for a couple of good songs, but that's it...."
"Oh shut up, we're going to have a GREAT time!" Lauren grinned. But she noticed Kally's distant look.
"Kally did something happen yesterday? Ever since then......you've been distant."
Kally winced as Lauren tugged a strand of her hair. She hadn't told Lauren of the incident between Mila, Jamie and her. She knew she would have to, but she didn't feel like it.......
"I have to tell you something," she muttered, turning around in her seat when Lauren announced she was finished. "Listen, okay well yesterday right before detention....." And she launched into the whole story. When she had finished, Lauren looked pissed off.
"Don't listen to that bitch," she said, checking her hair in the mirror. "Jamie's just jealous that Chris is your boyfriend. And Mila's probably pissed that Gordie is over her."
Kally grinned. "Oh he's over her alright," she said, standing up and twirling around, making sure she looked alright. "And I think he's moved on...."
Lauren shot her a pointed look. "What the hell's that supposed to mean?"
Kally giggled. "Oh, well.....ya know."
Lauren rolled her eyes. "No I don't know! Jesus, just friggin tell me!" She put some lip gloss on and was rubbing her lips together.
Kally smiled and twirled around some more. "Well, it's SO obvious that Gordie likes you...."
"Shut up!"
"No-it's true! He always laughs at everything you say, he smiles at you, holds your books, comes over to help you with your homework....."
"That's cause we're F-R-I-E-N-D-S!" Lauren shot back heatedly.
Kally rolled her eyes. "Sure, friends with benefits."
"I wish I could kick your ass now," Lauren mumbled. "I have to tell you something."
"What?"
"Well, I like Gordie...oh shut up! Stop smirking....Anyways, I just don't know if he likes ME....I mean, who could? Everyone thinks I'm a whore who got knocked up at a party."
Kally stopped looking in the mirror and glanced at Lauren. "Shut up. He likes you. He's my cousin! I would KNOW......besides, he never acted like this around anyone before." She smiled.
"Whatever," Lauren said grinning. "Holy shit! Look what time it is! Come on, we got to get moving if we want to make the dance."
Kally and Lauren headed down the stairs, giggling about something stupid when Gordie and Chris showed up at the doorway, waiting for them.
"Hello ladies," Gordie said smiling.
"You two look stunning tonight," Chris said, taking Kally's hand as they all walked out of the home.
"Not too bad yourself," Kally said smiling. "Gordie, where's your mom? Wouldn't she want to see us before we go?"
"Hell no," Gordie said. "She had to go over her friends house to play cards or something...."
Kally looked away, hurt that her own Aunt didn't want to see them off to their first dance. The night was warm, it felt good, the breeze gently playing with her hair. She closed her eyes as they walked down the street. Lauren and Gordie were up ahead chatting about something, her and Chris falling behind.
"Hey, you okay?" Chris asked, noticing Kally becoming silent and closing her eyes.
Kally opened her eyes and smiled. "Yeah, I'm good."
Chris grinned. "Come, on we're going to have fun."
"I hope so..." her mind trailed back to Mila's words from the day before...
'You better not show up at the dance tomorrow, or there will be hell to pay....'
