Everyone could come to the party and it went off without a hitch. Sadly there was only one day of summer vacation left.
"Come on Dana" mom called grabbing the keys for the car
"Where are we going?" I asked coming downstairs
"Clothes shopping of course" she said looking at me like I had three heads
"Oh yea, the annual 'before school shopping trip'" I said forming my fingers into quote marks. We drove down to Santa Monica, which as the boys called it "The nicer side of the tracks".
As we were driving mom looked at the clock "I made a hair appointment for you at ten thirty" she said making a left
"What's wrong with my hair right now?" I asked running my fingers through my hair
"Nothing just thought you'd like a hair cut before you went back to school"
"I guess you're right" I shrugged my shoulders
"Hi Dana, I'm Stephanie" the women said as I sat down on the chair. After she washed my hair she towel dried it and I walked over to another chair. She brushed out my damp hair "So what kind of hair cut where you thinking of?"
"What do you think would look good?" she looked at me intently in the mirror and smiled a few seconds later
"Do you trust me?"
"Y-Yes?" I said slightly nervous
"Don't worry, I'm not going to chop off your hair" she chuckled "I was thinking of maybe trimming off about three inches and giving you some long bangs?"
"That sounds good" I said and she smiled picking up her scissors and comb. Half an hour later it felt like a huge weight was lifted off of my head. I didn't realize how long my hair was until I saw the long locks on the floor "Thanks Stephanie" I said smiling at myself in the mirror before hopping off the chair. I gave her a tip while my mom paid for the hair cut.
"You look great dear"
"Thanks mom"
"Now let's go clothes shopping" she said sounding very eager
"Someone seems more excited then me" I teased her. She cleared her throat and tried to look more serious as we pulled out of the parking lot. After four hours of shopping, and four hours of my mom trying to get me to try on all of the clothes in the store, we drove back to our house.
"Looks like someone is having fun" mom said driving slowly up the driveway seeing as Jay, Tony, Stacy, Dave, Ryan, and Sid were all skating in and around the driveway. "Hello boys" mom said taking some of the clothing bags from the trunk of the car
"Hey Marie" they all said except for Sid who was the only one that said "Hey mom"
"Dana, what the hell happened to you?" Sid asked as all the other guy's jaws dropped
"It's called a hair cut Sid" I said pushing the bangs off the side of my eyes
"You look like a different person" Dave managed to say and looked me up and down. I wish him and Ryan were still back in Hawaii!
"It's just a hair cut and new clothes, sheesh" they made it seem like I got plastic surgery or something
"Are you going to go skate with us?" Tony asked
"Yea, let me just get out of my school clothes" I sighed listening to what I just said "School is going to suck" I went inside and changed into my comfortable clothes and pulled my newly cut hair into a pony tail.
"Come on Dana, the guys are going down to Zephyr to hang out for awhile" Tony said
"Alright" I got on my skateboard and followed them down the street to the most popular place for us to hang out. We skated around the shop which Skip didn't really like but we helped get him some business and helped some people buy some skateboards and surfboards for about three hours. "Come on Sid, let's go home so we can try and get some sleep"
"Ok"
"You guys coming to school tomorrow?" I asked
"Yea, I'll be there" Tony said
"Wow Tony is actually going to school for once" Stacy teased him
"Hey I go to school" Stacy raised his eyebrow "Sometimes" he added
I just laughed "See you boys tomorrow" and left with Sid.
Back at Zephyr
Once Dana and Sid had disappeared down the road Tony hopped up onto the counter "Am I the only one that thought that Dana's new hair cut makes her look hot?" he asked
"Nah man you're not the only one" Dave replied. Tony didn't let it show but when Dave said that he felt jealous
"Too bad you're not in our grade" Tony said trying not to smile when he saw Dave's disappointment
"Neither are you" Dave pointed out and smiled. Instead of going further Tony chose to ignore that comment.
"Shit, I better get home to make dinner for my mom and dad" Stacy said after looking at his watch.
When the door closed behind him Skip took another sip of what looked like orange juice (A/N: We all know it isn't though) "Come on man, I mean who wears a watch?" this caused all of his workers to laugh but not the teenagers "Ah it's like entertaining rocks. Alright everybody out it's closing time" he said pushing everyone towards the door just as a man with something in a paper bag walked in
"I got your stuff dude" the man said
"Oh yea defiantly closing time" Ryan said as everyone else laughed
"Dana time to get up" my mom yelled and I screamed into my pillow
"Ok mom I'll be down in a few" I said in a not so nice voice and slammed the door shut "I hate school" I mumbled as I walked into my closet. I put on the light and looked through my new clothes. There was a large pile of clothes on the floor that I didn't think would look good for my first day of school. Finally I found a pair of jeans and a light blue striped shirt with sleeves that ended at my elbow. I looked at myself in the floor length mirror that was towards the back of my closet (A/N: She has a decent sized walk-in closet) I made sure I looked ok and brushed out my hair so it was straighter and had a shine to it. I brushed my bangs to the side so they sort of covered my left eye.
"Morning" Sid said practically falling asleep in his cereal
"Mhmm" I said taking the cereal box for him and pouring some cheerios into the bowl
"Good morning" dad said coming into the dining room making sure his tie was tight before leaning down and kissing me on the forehead
"Oh yea dad it's a great morning" I put the side of my face onto my hand and leaned against it while I finished eating breakfast. After breakfast I went back upstairs and brushed my teeth and thought about putting on make up. Settling for just eyeliner I put some on my lower eyelids and put on a pair of socks. Looking through the rack of shoes I had in my closet I took out a pair of black ones and walked downstairs. The door bell rang and Stacy, Tony, Jay, Ryan, Dave, Peggy, Kathy, Ellie, Amy, Shogo, and Biniak (A/N: I got a hand cramp from just typing that LMAO) stood there "Hey guys and girls. What brings you here?" I asked
"Well we kind of forgot to show you where school was so we all decided to bring you and Sid there" Tony spoke up
"That was sweet, let me just go get Sid" I stepped back a few feet "Sid!" everyone covered their ears "Come on we're going to school!"
"Is anyone else deaf?" Stacy asked
"What?" everyone else asked pretending to be deaf
"Sorry" I said and Sid came downstairs
"They're coming with us" I explained
"Oh alright" I grabbed my skateboard and already started down the street
"Hey wait up" I heard Dave call after me. I let out an angry sigh and stopped "Thanks" he said now catching up to me
"No problem" I said and started skating again
"You know you're pretty good at skating"
"Thanks?" I said in a confused voice
"You're welcome, liking the new hair cut"
"What's with all the compliments?"
"I don't know just felt like complimenting you" he shrugged
"Oh"
Further in the back
Tony started getting
that jealous feeling again when Dave caught up to Dana and they
started talking "Keep up baby Sid" Jay called Sid by his new
nickname
"Just because I'm a few months younger then you
doesn't make me a baby" Sid replied
Stacy noticed Kathy stopping every few seconds while she was trying to skate "Here let me help you" he said putting his skateboard underneath his arm and going over to help her
"Thanks" she said about to fall off but he grabbed her by her waist quickly taking them away and holding her hands to keep her steady. Tony gave her a warning glare "I'm good thanks" she said not wanting her brother to start beating up one of his best friends
"You sure?" he asked and she nodded he let go of her hands and getting back on his skateboard. Tony looked up when he heard Dana laugh and decided to ruin the fun moment they were having. He pushed the ground harder with his foot and got up to a good speed. A few seconds later he was now into between them. I thanked every last god and goddess when Tony interrupted the really stupid jokes that Dave was telling.
"Hey man" Dave said trying to be polite but it looked like he was about to punch Tony, in fact it looked like both of them wanted each other injured in some way
"Are we going the right way? I mean it doesn't seem like anyone is really paying attention to where we're going" I said making it so they weren't staring each other down anymore. At that moment everyone made a left except me, they were really good at giving directions. I stopped short and turned around. This time, instead of being in the front with Tony and Dave, I was in the back with Ellie, Amy, and Kathy who were all attempting to skate like everyone else.
"I know Kathy is trying to impress Stacy, but what about the two of you?" I asked and they looked at me like they didn't know what I was talking about "Oh come on it's so obvious"
"Alright, I like Jay" Amy admitted and it seemed like neither Kathy nor Ellie knew about this little crush
"I like Ryan" Ellie admitted and now it was Amy's turn to be shocked
"Sounds like you all
need a cupid here" I said with a smile
"You said it and maybe
a tranquilizer for my brother. Stacy was trying to help me skate, yes
he was holding my hands but it looked like my brother was foaming at
the mouth" Kathy said giving up on skating and settled for walking
"I'll try to convince your brother that Stacy isn't trying to get into bed with you" I said and she laughed
"Not that I would mind though"
"Kath" Ellie said and shock
"Chill El, I wouldn't really"
"Good"
"Guys I hate to be the party pooper here, but are we almost there?" I asked
"Yea about another two minutes" Amy said and two minutes later we were in front of Venice Beach High School (A/N: Not sure what the real school's name is)
"Is anyone else nervous?" I said picking up my skateboard when we got on school grounds
"Yea a little" Ellie said "It's all our first year at high school"
"Same here" I said
"And this being a new school doesn't really help"
"Aww
don't worry Dee" that was Kathy's new nickname for me that
everyone else seemed to use now "I bet we'll have a few classes
together" Kathy said putting her arm over my shoulder
"I hope so" when we got into the school teachers directed us towards the auditorium.
Hope you guys liked this chapter. Now for some explanations:
D- She doesn't know how to surf, she was pretty much just helping Sid with his balance.
Everyone- I didn't want to write a party scene because to me it felt like I was writing a scene for every single day since they moved there and I felt like fast forwarding a little bit.
Remember reviews are good!
