Chapter 5- Parent
Callie, Lola, and Shelby had a dinner party that Tuesday. It was another boring dinner party that their parents made them attend.
"Come on Lola. We've got to be going!" yelled Callie.
"I'm coming, I'm coming," was the answer got.
"Let me guess. You are having trouble finding clothes," said Lola with a giggle.
"Two words- shut up!"
Both Callie and Shelby gave a giggle. Callie had on a shirtdress suit on in gray with a light blue shirt on under the jacket. Shelby had the same on but her suit was a dark purple with a while tee shirt. Both had their hair in a low ponytail.
Finally, Lola came out of her room. She had a black suit on with white pin stripes and a dark red shirt underneath. Her hair, too, was in a low ponytail.
"Damn, do we always have to look alike?" she asked.
"Best thing to where...you clean up well, you know," said Callie.
"Thanks...we better get going. I'll trade you the Furriery for the Pasha Shelby. I know there is no use to ask for the BMW," said Lola.
"Sure. I look better in red than silver anyway. Let's go," said Shelby
The three of them made it out of the apartment down to their three prize possessions, their cars.
Callie threw her things in the back of the seat and a small devious smile appeared on her face.
"Race you there," she said.
Shelby and Lola looked at each other. They gave a smirk before they hopped into their vehicles.
Soon, after all of them started up their vehicles, Callie spun out of the parking lot. Shelby and Lola came flying out after her. Going twenty minutes over the speed limit, they made it to the Kingston Castle about five minutes later.
"You all are slow," said Callie stepping out of her car.
"You just got a head start," said Lola.
'We passed like eleven cops on the way here. I'm glad they know our cars or we might be in prison right now or have at least a ticket," said Shelby.
"I know but it was-"
"CATHERINE!" came Callie's father's voice.
"Oh great," she whispered.
"What do you think you are doing? Driving like that?" asked William Kingston.
"Having fun," she said.
"What do you think people will say if they saw you drive like that?"
"Do I ever care what people think?" she snapped at him.
"Well, lets get you three inside. I've got someone I would like you to met Catherine," he said.
"Yes sir."
"Good to see you two," he said to Shelby and Lola.
"Hello sir."
"Hello Prince."
William nodded and started toward the castle. The three girls followed him inside. "I wonder who I have to met this time," Callie thought as she walked. They stepped inside and everyone turned and looked at them. Each of them flashed a charming smile at everyone and they began to talk again.
"Come on Catherine," said William.
"Yes, Father. I'll catch up with you two later."
"Alright. Have fun, if possible."
Callie gave a fake smile and followed her father over to a group of girls. Her father was rather attractive for being fifty-one with dark brown hair and light blue eyes.
"Catherine, I would like you to met Elizabeth Browning. Eliza, this is my daughter Catherine," said William.
"It's a pleasure to met you Miss Browning," said Callie giving a curtsey.
"It's a pleasure to meet you too Catherine. I've heard great things about you from your father," she said.
"Thank you ma'am."
"Nicholas has been looking for you Catherine," said William.
"Why would I- I mean, yes sir. Excuse me Miss Browning. It was a pleasure to meet you once again."
Callie walked away from her father talking the smile off her face and went beside Lola.
"So, who is the blond haired women?" she asked.
"Dad's new girlfriend."
"What! She can't be too much older than you," she said.
"I know. It won't last. They never do. Not since my Mum died," said Callie eyeing her.
Caroline Kingston, Callie's mother, died five years ago due to cancer. Ever since, her father had little flings with a different girl ever so mouths.
Lola just nodded at her friend, not knowing what to say.
"Lola, honey," came a woman's voice.
"Great...parents. See you in a bit. Mother dear..."
Callie gave a smile but it soon faded when she saw who was coming close to her, Nicholas Wellington. One of the richest, handsome but arrogant eighteen-year-old there was. He had dirty blond hair that was spiked and beautiful sea green eyes.
"Hello Catherine," he said.
"Hi Nicholas," she said dully.
"Haven't seen you around hardly anymore, you or Shelby, for that matter."
"We were at school. You knew that," she said.
"So, are you going to date me anytime soon?"
"No, like always."
"I've changed."
"I'll believe it when I see it."
Nicholas gave her one of his own charming smiles that would have any girl fall weak to the knees but not her. His smile didn't have the affect Harry's did on her.
"Are you seeing someone?" he asked.
Callie looked at him. Was she? She really didn't know.
"No..." she said slowly.
"Then why not me."
"Because I don't date arrogant, spoiled, always get your way brats like you," she said starting with her voice normal and practically yelling the last part.
"Catherine! Excuse us Nicholas," said William.
He pulled Callie away form Nicholas with a death grip on her arm.
"You've got to stop acting like that with Nicholas. He's a fine boy. I don't see why you don't give him a chance," said William as the walked.
'He's not my type father. I'm kind of seeing someone," she said.
"Oh really? May I ask who?"
"One could," she said pulling her arm away from him.
"Is he one of you?" he asked.
"Yes."
"Catherine, really. I've told you before, I will not allow"
"Me to date someone like me. Yes, I remember father. But, I really like him. He is sweet, kind and fun to be with."
"It's still the point that he's a...a..."
"A wizard? What does that matter? I am a witch."
"Catherine, keep your voice down. Please, I forbid you to date him. What's his name anyway?"
"Harry Potter."
"The-Boy-Who-Lived?"
"How do you know that?" she asked turning to face him.
"I read the papers that you get. So, he is from a good family?"
"Yes but a wizarding family.
"Catherine...I've said no."
She opened her mouth to say something but thought better of it. Her and William walked around a bit more before the silence was broke by her father.
"Tomorrow, you and I've got another party to attend."
"I can't. I'm going to a match," said Callie.
"Fine. I'll say you are finishing up something for school. I guess Shelby will be going with you," he said.
"Yes father."
"Alright. Now, try to enjoy yourself."
"Oh yeah. What fun!"
William glared at her before he turned and left.
"Like hell I will."
