Caroline's loft,
Monday, 5:45 p.m. Hartford, Connecticut
Caroline burst through the front door of her loft. "Damn!" She yelled as she kicked off her shoes, and stomped into the kitchen. Elliot emerged from the bathroom with dripping hair, and boxers with ice cream cones on them. "Jesus! What are you doing home so early?! I thought that you were going to Sasha's for a pool party or whatever." Caroline snorted. "Yeah right! I just stopped by! You know how I hate my body in a bathing suit." Caroline poured herself a glass of orange juice and gulped it down.
Suddenly a medium height girl with blond hair in a ratty ponytail, and huge eyes that bulged out of her head came wobbling into the kitchen. "Do you know how many calories are in that? Probably more than you can count." It was Bean. Caroline's anorexic older sister. "Bean go back to bead. You know that your not supposed to be up." Elliot said as he opened the cabinet, and took out some fruit snacks. Bean turned around and faced Elliot. "SHUT UP!! I DON'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO YOU!! OR ANYONE I'M A FREE PERSON! LET ME GO BACK TO COLLEGE! PLEASE! I PROMISE TO BE GOOD!" Caroline was used to this. Bean went through mood swings, and often begged to go back to college. She was mentally ill, and she often spent her days wobbling around the loft yelling at people, and telling them how many calories were in what. "Bean! Go to bed! Now! Do you want me to call Dr. Parley?!" Elliot threatened. Bean immediately scurried off into her room, and shut the door. Elliot shook his head.
"So whats up? Nice boxers." Caroline asked. Elliot blushed. "I just got them. Do you think they're cute? I kinda fell in love with them." Caroline giggled. "Yeah they're so cute I just want to eat them up! Ok so listen. I need you to drive me to a fashion show on Saturday. Can you?" Elliot raised his eyebrows. "Whats the big deal? Date?" Caroline rolled her eyes. "Hardly. Twiggy is gonna be at the Cavalli spring fashion show. And I've always wanted to meet her. You know that! Please!" Elliot laughed. "Too bad I have a date with one of my clients! The same night." Caroline swore under her breath. "Who?" Elliot was an artist, and sold many paintings to women, who only stared at him with lust as he painted. Caroline rolled her eyes at the thought. "This sweet girl Brianna Wallace. She is totally hot. She is an artist too." Elliot pulled out his ugly Motorola flip phone and showed Caroline a picture of a medium height young woman with wispy brown hair, hazel eyes, a little pug nose, and freckles splattered all over her skin. She looked like the artist type. "Isn't she perfect?! How awesome would it be if we like got married?! Then she could help me raise you and Bean!" Bean's voice came out of her bedroom. "She is a slut!" Elliot shouted at Bean. "Bean shut up! Your opinion wasn't necessary! "
Caroline had had enough. She ran upstairs, and called Sasha. "Hello? Carol?! Gawd Cynthia just came over and is now trying to hook up with Aiden! They have been flirting ever since you left! Its unbearable to watch! Ok like Cynthia is trying to impress Aiden by like eating all of these doughnuts!" Caroline gasped. "No! She and Aiden are like totally not made for each other at all! He is all artsy and she is a pig. Talk about ew!!" "I know right? But anyway, Aiden totally loves you more. You are totally hotter, and nicer, and more his type. Will you come back over? Please?" Caroline sighed. "Nah. I'm to tired and Bean is having another fit about Elliot's new girlfriend. Her name is Brianna and she is an artist." Sasha rolled her eyes. "Ehmagawd he is such a player. What happened to Jessica the architect?! Or Sammy the professional dancer?! They were way more stylish and hot than the rest of the girls." Caroline laughed. Sasha had a mini crush on Elliot, so she got really mad whenever he would go out with another girl. "Who really knows. He is like a chick magnet. Anyway. I think I'm gonna stay here and hang out with Elliot and Bean. And Mr. Hobo of course. Maybe tomorrow. See ya! Love you! Bye!" Caroline blew air kisses at the phone then hung up.
Caroline was so depressed. It was unreal. Her parents had died when she was only 10, and her crazy aunt Charlie had come to live with them until Elliot turned turned 18. Elliot had skipped college to become an artist right away to support Caroline and Bean. And on top of that, three years ago Bean was diagnosed with anorexia, and had been this complete alter ego of her once sweet, pretty, smart, and caring self. It wasn't like they were even poor anyway! I mean Caroline's mom had been a fashion critic. A very, very famous one. And her dad had been an artist who basically owned the rich housewives wallets. He had always been so charming and cute, that even if he had painted a picture of a piece of cow dung, millions of women fought to buy it just so they could own something that he had touched. And it was pretty much the same thing with Elliot. He didn't really have to try hard to get girls attention. Caroline had been so depressed when her parent died, that her aunt Charlie insisted that she get a pet. So thats where Mr. Hobo came into her life. And thats also when Sasha and the twins started noticing the tall, thin, outcast, and making her the tall, thin, popular girl. Caroline also started confiding in Twiggy as her role model. She had to look up to someone who was just like her. Without all of the problems that is.
Elliot suddenly burst into Caroline's room interrupting her thoughts. "Dude Caroline there is a documentary on about Twiggy. Its on TV right now. It just started." Caroline scrambled off her bed, and sprinted into the living room and turned on the TV. A picture of Twiggy leaning against a tall, thin street sign appeared on the screen. She blended in perfectly. Caroline felt like she was looking at a picture of herself.
"Twiggy Lawson is most famous for her long, lean frame, and her doe eyed look. But did you know who her rival in the Fashion Industry was? Penelope Tree! And the weird thing was that Penelope had been modeling for longer than Twiggy! Twiggy once said that Penelope was always getting kicked out of photo shoots for smoking pot and drinking before the shoot. But some people liked her more than good girl Twiggy because of her babyish face and bad girl reputation. Who do you like more?"
Caroline shut off the TV in anger. That stupid guy Aiden was totally taking over her world! Caroline stomped into her room in anger, and slammed the door behind her. Elliot was used to angry girls and slamming doors, so he just simply said, "When your done make sure to clean your room!"
That was chappy three! Yay! But i need more feedback so I know who Aiden should go out with!! Oh BTW the next chappy is about Sasha. Kay R&R!! Oh and also I kinda screwed up. They are in EIGHT GRADE. I think I accidentally said they were in seventh. Sorry about that!!
