Bring It Down- Chapter 2
After, the rest of the girls, Jade, Tash, Karen and Kristy were in the bathroom re applying their lip-gloss.
'Guys, let's go back to my house after school and choose prom dresses from those catalogues I picked out.' Tash suggested.
Jade almost choked on the wand of her lip-gloss.
'What did you say?' She said looking at Tash like she had turned up from the garbage bin.
'I chose out my prom dress three months ago. Daddy bought it for me when he saw how much I loved the dress.' Jade went on.
'Your kidding! The dress we saw at the mall?' Karen asked just a little confused. 'Did your dad knock his head or something? That cost more than the school fees!'
'Unlike some people, I can afford it!' and with that, Jade turned around and swished her long black hair.
'Sure Tash, Kristy and I would love to come. I'm sure that Raine and Taylor would too.'
'What makes you think I'd want to come?' Kristy said mimicking Jade and turning to leave. 'Mum said she may be taking me to that fancy French designer's shop after school. Don't stop because of me, get your trashy dresses from that trashy magazine.' Then she left.
'What happened to her?' Karen asked Tash.
'I don't know. It's like she's morphing into Jade or something.'
'Yeah. Oh well I'm coming this afternoon.' The bell went.
'I'll see you after school.' Tash said. 'Don't go crazy like Kristy.'
'I promise I won't.' Karen replied walking out.
When the bell had gone Raine told Taylor to go and meet her at her locker. She had some business to attend to. James was talking to his friends when he saw Raine and broke away from them as she walked toward him.
'Hey, I'm…'
'Raine. I know. You're in my homeroom.'
'Yeah I am. And you are James, right?'
'Yeah. You and your friend were really good out there. You guys are cheerleaders aren't you.'
'We are. We cheer for your team.'
'Oh, I don't play football.'
'Really? You're so good!'
'Thanks for being so nice, but I didn't make onto the team so you don't have to use flattery.'
'Well I better go to my locker. My friend's expecting me.' Raine walked off as James ran in the opposite direction.
She reached her locker. She looked at Taylor and smiled.
'He is really nice.' She said.
'Who?'
'James of course.' She sighed.
'Look, you better get to class. Miss Fletchers already started teaching. I asked if I could go to the bathroom. Gotta go. See you!
