Chapter 10: PPG
"Blossom! Blossom! Get up! Get up!" Bubbles shrieked as she sat on top of me, shaking me harder by the second.
At first I thought there was a fire or something, but I realized she wanted to get me up for the purpose of shopping. I chuckled as she jumped on each of us while screaming her head off. None of us moved for the purpose of making her even more crazy. She grew so frustrated that she ripped the blankets off of our bodies. The room was freezing, so we all hurried to get dressed into some warmer clothes. I got ready first and stayed in the bathroom the longest, applying some makeup to my angelic face. I wore a short pink dress with flowers embroidered along the neckline which stopped under my butt. I had on my golden flats and let my red hair fall down to my back. I had clear mascara on with lip gloss strewn across my puffy lips. The dress made my skin color pop and my eyes stood out even more.
As soon as I stepped out of the bathroom, the girl's eyes widened in the utter astonishment of my sudden change in appearance. My eyes grew bigger once I saw what they were wearing. Robin was wearing jean bootie shorts with a skin tight purple top that showed off her flattering figure. She had her purple toms on her feet and had purple eyeshadow on the brought out her blue eyes. Her brown hair was in a high ponytail with her bangs tapered to the side. Buttercup was wearing a green tank top on that had the word DANGEROUS printed across her breast line. The top showed off her abs from all the dancing she did in her spare time, she had a six pack that showed. She wore tight skinny jeans that went down to her ankles with tall electric green converse meeting the edge of the jean length. Her hair was wavy from being in a braid over night and it was parted to the side. She had light pink lipstick on with dark black mascara on her eyelashes. Bubbles wore a blue crop top with a short white tank underneath it which showed off her perfectly flat stomach and her blue belly button piercing. She had on black skin tight leggings which outlined her thin body with golden 6 inch heels on. Her blonde hair was pulled in pigtails, but were curled in ringlets. She also had clear mascara on, but had nude pink lips. The three of them looked stunning.
"OMG! Blossom, you look amazing! Where did you get that dress? I want one just like it." Bubbles screeched.
I had to admit, I looked pretty dang hot. It showed off my flattering body and my smooth, creamy skin. I still hadn't answered her and she was getting impatient due to my hesitance. The trouble was that the dress was something I didn't buy. They didn't buy it for me either. Brick bought the dress for me. I had to come up with a way to cover my tracks so they wouldn't find out yet.
"I got it for my birthday last year." I said hoping they would buy it.
"No way in heck would our parents or our grandparents buy you that dress. It is super cute but way to short for their liking." Bubbles snapped.
"Well, then I don't remember." I said while fighting the urge to tell them the truth.
"Well, I need to find out where it came from. I need a dress like that." Bubbles said while calming down from her sudden outbreak.
After we just stood there in Robin's room for a moment, we picked up our purses with cash stashed away in our cashmere purses and headed for the car. Over the past few weeks, I managed to do a driver's test and I am now legal to drive my sports car. It was black with pink highlighting the sides of the edging. It was sleek but elegant and could fit two people. Robin demanded she be the second one to ride in it. I hopped in the drivers seat with Robin already comfortable in hers. The moment I started the car, she stopped breathing, the adrenaline pulsing through her and I could tell from her heartbeat quickening. I smiled showing my pearly, white teeth from her expression. We both laughed and started driving down the peaceful street. Bubbles was trailing behind us in her BMW Convertible which was a baby blue, vintage color with a black top. She followed us onto the highway.
We unrolled the windows to my car as we got onto the highway and pumped up the music. We scrolled through the radio until Robin found a song we liked. I just adored Taylor Swift. Her music was my favorite. She sang with her heart, so when the song she picked came on, I couldn't help but sing.
22 - Taylor Swift
It feels like a perfect night to dress up like hipsters
And make fun of our ex's, uh uh, uh uh.
It feels like a perfect night for breakfast at midnight
To fall in love with strangers, uh uh, uh uh.
Yeah,
We're happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time
It's miserable and magical.
Oh, yeah
Tonight's the night when we forget about the deadlines
It's time
Uh oh!
I don't know about you
But I'm feeling 22
Everything will be alright
If you keep me next to you
You don't know about me
But I'll bet you want to
Everything will be alright
If we just keep dancing like we're
22, ooh-ooh
22, ooh-ooh
By now, Robin and I were laughing while singing. We sped down the highway with huge grins on our faces as our hair blew out behind us in the wind. We couldn't help but laugh when the guy in the car next to us began to dance to our singing. The four of us were in choir at school and we had sung together since we were really young. We had unbelievable voices and we knew just how to harmonize in the best way. When we sand together, we could pass as professionals.
It seems like one of those nights,
This place is too crowded.
Too many cool kids, uh uh, uh uh (who's Taylor Swift anyway, ew?)
It seems like one of those nights,
We ditch the whole scene and end up dreaming
Instead of sleeping.
Yeah,
We're happy, free, confused, and lonely in the best way
It's miserable and magical.
Oh, yeah
Tonight's the night when we forget about the heartbreaks
It's time
Uh oh! (hey!)
I don't know about you
But I'm feeling 22
Everything will be alright
If you keep me next to you
You don't know about me
But I'll bet you want to
Everything will be alright (alright)
If we just keep dancing like we're
22, ooh-ooh (oh, oh, oh)
22, ooh-ooh
I don't know about you
22, ooh-ooh
22, ooh-ooh
By now, we were so in the moment. I blushed when I saw a bunch of boys that were in my grade start whistling at our sexy singing. They were making a bunch of sounds that really made me feel exposed. I instantly felt better when I noticed Buttercup stand up in the BMW while dancing and singing. We were going nuts over it. The boys were then staring at her, but we exited and I chuckled when I saw their faces sadden when we got off and and away from their car. We still continued to sing and dance in our seats as we drove to the mall.
It feels like one of those nights,
We ditch the whole scene.
It feels like one of those nights,
We won't be sleeping.
It feels like one of those nights,
You look like bad news.
I gotta have you,
I gotta have you.
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ye-e-e-e-eah, hey
I don't know about you (I don't know about you)
But I'm feeling 22
Everything will be alright
If you keep me next to you
You don't know about me (you don't know about me)
But I'll bet you want to
Everything will be alright
If we just keep dancing like we're
22, ooh-ooh
22, ooh-ooh
22, ooh-ooh, yeah, yeah
22, ooh-ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
It feels like one of those nights,
We ditch the whole scene
It feels like one of those nights,
We won't be sleeping
It feels like one of those nights,
You look like bad news,
I gotta have you,
I gotta have you.
Once the song ended we pulled into the parking lot of the mall. Bubbles was laughing so hard as she came over to us after we parked the cars. Buttercup was smirking as I laughed at the boys who were totally checking us out. Robin was the only one who seemed pretty normal compared to us who were laughing so hard. She giggled, but remained pretty quiet. She didn't like how boys checked her out since she had a boyfriend. She felt like she was cheating on Mitch, but she never was.
As soon as we walked into the mall, we headed to the bathroom where we fixed and cleaned ourselves up. I redid my makeup and bubbles fluffed up her hair. Buttercup fixed her outfit and Robin just applied more lip gloss. Once we were back to a normal stage, we left for the shopping. Bubbles pulled us through the mall, forcing us to try on outfits from ridiculously pricey stores. I tried on a few dresses and fell in love with them even though Bubbles didn't approve. She said that they were safe, not sexy or risky in any way. I agreed and she pulled a really short dress that was really curvy and had huge chunks of the fabric cut to show off skin all over your body. It was white with pink highlights running through it. The moment I tried it on in the fitting room, I knew Brick would fall in love with it. It showed just enough skin and outlined my cunning figure. My eyes stood out and my legs were showing. The second on stepped out of the room, Bubbles gasped at me while she motioned for me to spin around. I obliged and twirled artfully around for her to see how it looked on me.
"OMG Blossom! You look stunning. It is so sexy and it makes you look even more downright beautiful!" she squealed.
The other girls nodded their heads really fast in approval. I loved the dress and. I knew Bubbles was so right about it. The only issue was that it cost over 800 dollars. How could I pay that much for a dress?
"I really like the dress guys, but it is way to pricey for me." I said slowly.
Their faces turned to guilt and they stood up in front of me. Their eyes sparkled like they had something to tell me.
"Blossom, you look amazing. We are willing to pay that much for you to look gorgeous." the three of them said in unison as they looked at me.
"But it costs over 800 dollars!" I said unwilling for them to spend that much money on a dress.
"Blossom, I have over 2 million dollars from my parents, it's OK." Robin said.
"I owe you so much. You are huge best friend ever." I said while pulling her into a hug.
"Just consider it an early birthday present." she said into my ear while smiling.
When we left for lunch at a cute little restaurant on the pier, we had over 10 shopping bags in each hand. We had gotten our hair done for the concert and we had makeup, jewelry, dresses, shoes and more in each bag. We kept telling Bubbles it was just a concert and that we were overdoing it, but she only replied that there was a huge party afterwards with the celebrities known as the Rowdy Ruffs. I called Brick while I was in the bathroom of the restaurant by myself. I told him that we should tell them we were dating tonight. He agreed and said we should tell them during the intermission.
After I sat down with them at the table right next to the lake, we ordered what we wanted to eat. We all had ordered a salad since we didn't want to eat a bunch of food before the concert since we would probably eat a lot of junk tonight. We talked about what an amazing day we had and we discussed the schedule. After lunch we would shop for prom dresses and then we would head home to get ready for the show. We would then leave at 8 and get there around 9 when the show started. I couldn't but feel really excited. I was more excited about hanging out with Brick as a couple during the party though. After we paid for our lunch we headed to the shops again and we each bought an amazing dress and accessories to match. We walked arm in arm to the cars and drove home faster than when we came. It was almost time for the concert.
