Through the Years:
A Story about Me
By: Fordina
Chapter 18- Because I'm Better Then You
I'm in my room, staring at myself in my mirror. I'm in the dress that Jen insisted on buying for me. And I'm just kinda staring. Not really believing what I'm seeing.
I looked good. I've never seen, or even dreamed that I would ever like the way that I look, especially in a dress.
Maybe… maybe I like it because it was bought out of kindness rather then just because I need more clothes. Which I don't, I'm perfectly happy with what I have.
But that never seemed to be enough for my mother. Always needed to buy more. I sigh.
I turn my head at the sound of my door opening. Jen stood in the doorway, makeup bag in hand. What the…?
"Jen…? What are you doing here…?" I asked slowly, sorta afraid of the answer.
"I'm here to help you get ready," She said walking into my room.
"Get ready…? Get ready for what?"
"You'll see," She pushed me down so that I was sitting on my bed.
"Jen what are you--" My questions go unanswered for she starts to put lipstick on me.
"Hmm… This colour should be good," She started to apply eye shadow.
"Jen… Really, why are you doing this?" I asked pushing her hand away from my eye.
"It's a surprise. Please just trust me on this one okay?" She asked waving the little brush thing in front of my face.
"Yeah whatever…"
What felt like an eternity later Jen was finally done.
"There. Have a look," Walking over to my mirror I looked my face over. Jen did a good job. Then again she probably puts makeup on more then I do.
"Wow… You're good. I can hardly tell it's me I mean I'm actually pr--" I stop as I see her face. "Sorry."
"It's okay."
"Are you going to tell me why you did this now? Or do I have to wait until I go to wash it all off?" I asked folding my arms over my chest.
"You ain't taking that off for a while girl. Now come on, we're going out," She said grabbing my arm and pulling me out of my room.
"But wait! I have to tell my mum!" I protested.
"She already knows. I've made all the plans. Now all we have to do is show up."
She had that look in her eyes again… That look she got when she first insisted on reading what was in my notebook.
"Jen…?" I was becoming a bit scared.
"You'll see," Was all she said as she pulled me out of my house and into her car.
Around thirty minutes later we pull up to what I assume is someone's house.
"Um… Where are we?" I asked once I saw Jen start to get out of the car.
"My friends house. It's a party. So c'mon!"
Oh my gods… She brought me to a party? A party?! With people she knows?! More than likely most of the people in there hate me. Like I said… I'm not that well liked… I've known a lot of these people since elementary school and well… I don't think I have to go into that again.
Jen has to practically drag me into the house.
'I don't want to do this… I don't want to do this…' I kept repeating in my head.
Once we got inside it seemed as if everything stopped and all were staring at us. But as soon as Jen closed the door… Everything went back to normal. No one was looking at us… No one was staring… I was broken out of my trance as Jen started to say something.
"There's Ash, c'mon! I'm gonna introduce you to all my friends," I just let her drag me over there. I can feel the eyes… They're all looking at me… Whispering, asking each other why I'm here… Why the freak girl is here…
We get over to a corner and I can see all the girls that I had met on the riverbank. And a few others that I didn't know.
"Hey guys!" Jen greeted as we went up to them.
"Hey Jen!" They chorused back. It's like they're all in sync with each other… Kinda scary if you ask me…
"God… She brought her…?" Oh yes… I know that voice… The one named Kamila. Oh how I would love to…
My thoughts are cut as Jen starts to talk, "Guys, this is Traci," She pulls me closer to them since I was steadily trying to back my way out the door. "Traci, you know Angela, and this is Ashley, Sara, Kamila, Cindy," I had to hold back my gag as I looked at those two again. "Laura," She has kinda dirty blonde hair… sorta shoulder length. "Teresa," Short girl, long light brown hair. [A/N: Can't draw a Chibi Teresa! 'Cause she's always Chibi!! Gomen… Inside joke ^o^] "Izzy," Again short with shoulder length kinda dark brown hair with lighter high lights. "Chelsea," Short, with light brown hair up in a ponytail. "And Keri," Tall… Probably as tall as me, since she's wearing heels, and long brown hair.
"Hey," They chorused once again.
"Hi…" I said timidly.
"Jen we were hoping that when we said you could bring one guest that you would bring your mystery man," Sara said slightly disappointed. This girl looks familiar. I think… I think we've been in the same class before… In elementary school that is. Hmm… That might explain why she doesn't dare look me straight in the eye. We probably just recognized each other at the same time. Because she wasn't afraid to look at me when we met at the river.
"Yeah well… I like to keep you guys in suspense," Jen told them winking. "And besides, I wanted to show Traci a good time," They all gave her quizzical glances. "She's been kinda down lately," I heard Jen whisper to them.
"So yeah… Traci here tells me that she's met Jen's mystery man," Angela told them. They all turn to stare at me wide eyed. Even Sara.
"You've met him?!" Ashley squeaked. I nodded mutely.
"So what's he like?! What does he look like?! Who is he?! What's his name?! Is he hot?!" All these questions were thrown at me at once and I had to take a step back in surprise. But one question was heard loudest over them all.
"How come you got to meet him and we didn't?" It was the one named Kamila who spoke the question. And I have the perfect answer.
"Because I'm better then you," And I walked off in the other direction. I could tell they were all gaping at me wide mouthed. Probably Jen the most. Why? Because I that's probably the most conceited thing I've ever said in my life.
Tbc…
Well, another chapter done, and another one on the way.
