"Yes, Odd,"I sighed,"It's me. Yumi Ishiyama. The girl who wears black is-"
"A total wannabe,"An annoying high-pitched voice, interrupted me.
"What do you want, Sissi?"I spat.
Sissi Delmas is the school's Queen of Dorks. She thinks she's the world's most precious asset, next to diamonds. Talk about stupid. She even got plastic surgery to make her breasts larger. She also happens to be the most disgusting slut of the Principal. Sometimes I feel sorry for him, but, then again, I'm also thankful I'm not her sister. Or related to her in any way.
It didn't shock me that she saw right through my phony look. After all, I was always her first victim since she met Ulrich and I the first day of 7th grade. She was obsessed with Ulrich from the beginning and she thought I was in the way of getting him to be her boyfriend. Even though she knows I no longer stand beside Ulrich as a friend, she continues to ruin my life.
"Oh nothing really. Just wanted to let you know how pathetic your attempt to look hot like me,"Sissi smirked,resting her hand on her hip.
I almost fell on the floor, laughing when she said 'hot like me'. I knew for a fact, nobody ever wanted to date her, except her two nerds, Herb and Nicholas.
Amber spoke up for me," If it's so pathetic, then why do you think all the guys are drooling at her feet?"
I took a glance around and found that Amber was right. Girls were trying to receive attention from their boyfriends but all their eyes were on me. I shuddered as chill crawled down my spine.
"Please! They're looking at me!"She scoffed.
"You want to bet on that?"Aelita stood beside Amber and me.
Sissi smiled, smugly,"I'd rather bet on who could get the most dates in a month."
What?! Was she crazy?! Why am I even asking? Of course, she is! I couldn't take that bet. No way! How am I possibly going to get more dates than Sissi in one month? Besides, I'm not the type who would actually date a large collection of guys. I couldn't even talk to a guy without passing out. The only guys I could talk to were: Odd, Theo, and Jeremie. And Ulrich.
"She'll do it!"Amber shot back.
"Excuse me?!"I hissed at Amber.
She ignored me,"She'll take that bet and if she wins, you get a REAL tattoo of all three of our faces on your right arm."
I noticed Sissi cringed for half a second and went back to her smirk."Fine. But, if I win, Yumi will obey anything I say for the rest of the year."
"No Way!"I exclaimed, but it was like I was inaudible.
This just proved how crazy Sissi was. Trying to make me her servant. No way was I going to take this bet.
"Well, here are the rules: Each date must last 1 hour. One guy only counts as one date. He must ask you out again,"Sissi spoke, confidently.
"You got yourself a deal!"Amber yelled, proudly.
"Am I not here?!"I yelled, irritably.
Amber and Aelita turned to me with confused looks,"Did you say something, Yumi?"they both asked.
I mumbled a never mind and sat down in a lumpy chair for the rest of the party. Only 5 minutes there with my new look and I was already pissed. Fun? No. Depressing? Hell Yeah!
2 days Later...
"Yumi! We're sorry! We didn't mean to put you on the spot!"Amber and Aelita were struggling to keep up with my walking while apologizing.
"How long are you going to be mad at us? You haven't talked to us in 2 days!"Amber pouted, hoping I would give in after 41 tries. Not gonna happen!
I kept walking at a fast pace to class while Aelita finally gave up and sulked all the way to her advanced class. But, Amber was absolutely determined to get some thing out of me.
Ever since the party, I've been getting,"Are you going to take the bet?""You're so going to loose.""Keep away from my boyfriend!" It was coming to the point where I would possibly explode. I was NOT going to take the bet. And there's no way I'm going to get myself expelled.
"Yumi! We're truly sorry Please forgive us!"Aelita pleaded on the way to my house. (A/N I skipped the whole day at school, just so you know. I was being lazy)
"How do you expect me to do this?! You both know I'm no good with guys!" I screamed at them.
"Which is why you have us, Yumi. We're here for you,"Aelita said, comforting me in her soothing voice.
Surprisingly, it lightened the weight off my shoulders. A little bit. Just a little bit.
"I just don't understand why you guys didn't even allow me to answer for myself. Why'd you even take the bet for me?"I asked them.
Amber sighed, deeply,"Because we were sick of Sissi always being the bitch she is. We just wanted her to eat her own crap for once."
I couldn't deny that I had to agree with Amber. Sissi needs to know she is the worst slut of them all. But...why do I have to do it?
"Why do I have to do it though?"I repeated, aloud.
"Because if you don't, you're going to become Sissi's personal door mat. That's why,"Amber retorted. Smart ass.
"Fine,"I pouted."But, you guys will be there, right?"
Amber and Aelita looked at me like I was stupid,"Of course! We're always there for you."
I grinned and hugged them with all my might. If they hadn't tickled my sides a few seconds later, they would have probably died from the lack of air I was giving them.
"Jeez, Yumi! You got a tight grip!"Amber sucked in deeply, begging for more air.
I apologized and engulfed them in another hug that was less dangerous to them. Suddenly, Aelita gasped, causing both Amber and I to jump.
"What?!"We yelled, fully alert.
Aelita then grinned, mischievously,"You talked to us."
Amber mimicked Aelita's gasp and creepy smile,"You DID talk to us. We didn't even try that time."
I rolled my eyes and continued walking to my house with my two friends following from behind me. All the way, they sung "We got Yumi to talk to us!" I swear, we got looks from everyone that was within hearing distance. My face flushed in embarrassment.
"Are you done?!"I turned around and snapped at them. I was getting annoyed.
"Sorry, Yumi. But, we're so happy!"Aelita squealed.
"Yeah, but you mind toning it down a bit? I'm don't think the neighbors would appreciate you disturbing them,"I asked.
We entered my house, already hearing loud crashes coming from the kitchen. Instinctively, I checked on Hiroki in his room, upstairs. He was listening to his Ipod on full blast while doing his homework.
"Are you okay?"I asked him, worriedly, after removing his headphones.
He put on a fake smile for my sake but I could see his pain in his eyes. I decided I take Amber's suggestion and sleep over her house with Hiroki. He didn't need this. No one deserved to have unstable parents.
I let him place his headphones back on before I practically flew down the stairs and into the kitchen.
"...why don't you get a job then?!"A crash followed.
"Mom! Dad!"I screamed over their argument. They turned to me with angry faces that almost immediately softened.
"What is it, Darling?"My mother's sweet voice echoed in the room.
"Is it okay if Hiroki and I sleep over Amber's? I can drop him off at school tomorrow,"I was pretty sure that my tone had given the desperate vibe.
My mother smiled,"Go ahead, hon. Remember to thank her parents for us, okay?"
"Sure thing, mom,"I said, returning the smile.
I raced back up the steps and into my room instead. Amber and Aelita were already relaxing in my room, taking in all the smells of my morning-burnt candles. If you must know, I place candles all around my room. No, I do not do any time of spells with them. They just make me completely relaxed.
"Where do you get your candles again, Yumi?"Amber took another whiff of a white candle.
"The outlets near the school campus,"I replied.
"They're so amazingly good smelling!"Amber smiled, half-dazed.
"Thanks. Oh and I hope it's not too late but, I'm sleeping over your house tonight."
She snapped out of lala land and grinned widely,"That's great! Don't even bother on packing. You can borrow my clothes!"
"I think Hiroki would prefer his clothes over yours any day, Ambs,"I said.
She rolled her eyes,"I was talking about you. Of course, Hiroki can pack his own, but you can't. Remember the bet?"
I groaned at the memory. Amber just chuckled with Aelita.
"Just don't make it so I get in so much trouble,"I pleaded.
"We wouldn't make you wear something too revealing. We don't want our best friend to become a prostitute,"Amber teased.
"Haha, you're so hilarious,"I muttered, sarcastically.
"Just relax and trust us,"Aelita smiled, truthfully.
"Fine, but if I look like some lap dancer or slut, I will murder you in your sleep,"I narrowed my eyes at both of them.
They became easily frightened. I smiled, proudly, and skipped to Hiroki's room. He no longer kept his headphones on. He laid, almost motionless -except for the light breathing- on his bed, sleeping. It didn't surprise me that he fell into unconsciousness, very quickly. I didn't want to wake him just yet, so I let him sleep and dove into his closet for his duffel bag and a few pieces of clothing. His homework was spread out on his desk, completely done. I placed all of the papers, neatly into his binder and into his backpack.
A hand was placed, lightly, on my shoulder. I jumped in surprise, while my heart raced.
"Sorry, Yumi,"Amber whispered from behind."The limo is here. Do you need any help?"
I nodded and handed her Hiroki's duffel bag and backpack while I carefully carried my brother. Surprisingly, he didn't weigh as much as 11 year old boy should. But, he was thin.
I made it past my parents and inside the limo. I laid Hiroki across the seats; Aelita was kind enough to cover him with her jacket. The ride to Amber's house was silent. No one talked until we arrived at the mansion.
"I'll set up the air bed in Alex's room,"Amber rushed into the house.
Alex is Hiroki's friend and Amber's brother. Not best friend, but friend. He is 4'11; Only 2 inches taller than my brother. He has black hair that was placed untidily on his head. Alex was almost exactly like Amber. He was hilarious, charming, and random.
"Can you grab his stuff, Aelita?"I asked. Aelita nodded.
I held Hiroki in my arms again and, successfully, brought him upstairs. Aelita followed behind me, waiting ever so patiently. Amber was still pumping air into the air bed so I let Hiroki sleep on Alex's bed and tucked him in. The air bed would take a while, but we had time.
"Where's you're brother this time?"I asked Amber, who continued to pump in the air, aggressively.
Alex was always out so we barely ever saw him in the house. Usually, he was out swimming, skate boarding, or dirt biking. He was pretty active for his age. (He's under adult supervision, though. So don't start panicking.)
"Don't know. But, he'll be back around 5,"Amber replied. I responded with a simple nod. That's in 2 hours.
Once Amber had finished the air bed and placed pillows and blankets on it, I moved Hiroki onto the air bed. Tip-toed, we vanished from the room, into Amber's. Aelita had already dumped Hiroki's things into Ale's room and, gently, tossed me my backpack. I thanked her and made myself comfortable on Amber's bed.
"You mind if I stay, too?"Aelita asked.
"Sure,"Amber shrugged. She turned to me."You better be up bright and early because we got lots of work to do if you're gonna with this bet."
I groaned into a pillow. This bet was not worth my time. Dating one guy; dating another. It's so stupid! But, I was not going to let Sissi win. Not now, not ever.
Jamie Speaking!!:All right! So our new user name is Simple Sparkle Shine. Nicole and I are very simple, we sparkle and we definitely shine with our personality.
I'm sorry for not updating in such a long time. School's coming up and I need to do some major shopping. (and more time with my bf but shhh! Remember my dad doesn't know this.)
