The sad thing about Sierra, other than her verbally abusive parents, lack of social life, and poor communication skills, was that she had no idea what she was doing with her life. She always thought that she would marry Cody and be the perfect wife but its not like that was her only plan. Or it least not anymore. She had a million ideas of what she wanted to do with her life but that's just it. They were just ideas. She had no encouragement from her parents to do anything other than become a lawyer and like hell was that going to happen. That's Courtney's dream not hers.
Sierra went to school the next day slightly happier, although she couldn't figure out why. She smiled as she took the textbooks from her locker and hummed a song as she practically skipped down the hallway to the cafeteria.
"Hi Codykins!" Sierra said cheerfully, placing down his and her own lunch at the table.
"Oh uh. Hi Sierra." Cody said sadness in his tone.
"What's wrong Cody-Wody aren't you happy to see me? I brought your favorite lunch for you, granted I had to shove about 6 people out of line, including Owen and let me tell you that was not easy." Sierra rambled.
"Gwen seems to really have her mind set on not going to Homecoming with me and now I don't have a date, and then what's the whole point of going to Homecoming ya know?" Cody ranted. Sierra sat hopeful, even if she wasn't his first choice she still would love to go to Homecoming with him.
"Sierra do you want my tickets? I don't want to go if i don't have a date." Cody suggested. He pulled two homecoming tickets out of his pocket. Sierra broke a little bit insides but she still had hope that maybe he would realize that she wanted to go with him.
"You know Cody, I know a girl who would just adore going to Homecoming with you. She's known you for years, she's nerdy like you, she's nice-"
"Beth? Eh, she's not really my type but-"Cody began rejecting.
"No uh, I meant me." Sierra corrected. Cody sighed. He didn't know what exactly it was that put him off about Sierra, but whatever it was it kept him from seeing her as anything more than a friend. But who knows? He definitely didn't hate her so maybe the way he felt about her would change over time. In the mean time going to Homecoming with her wasn't horrifying as long as she knew they were going as friends, which would be a little hard to explain before she pulled him into those choke holds she called hugs.
"Sierra I will go to homecoming with yo, BUT only as friends OK?" Cody agreed. Sierra smiled widely and refrained from squealing.
"Thank you, thank you thank you I promise you won't regret this!" Sierra grabbed Cody's face and planted a big kiss on his cheek. Cody smiled a bit.
"Just promise me you won't go like crazy or something please?" Cody begged.
"I swear! I promise I won't screw this up. Thank you for this chance. I won't let you down. Oh I need to go dress shopping now!" Sierra said quickly and rambling off a list of things she needed to do.
"I will see you later honey bun, I've got important things to do!" Sierra kissed Cody's forehead, threw her lunch away and went to her locker. She pulled out her notepad and diary and began walking to the girls bathroom to get some writing done, it's where she gets all her best thinking done. She bumps into a crying Lindsay on the way and, while she's never spoken to her before and she was friends with Heather of all people, Sierra hated to see anyone sad. She approached the blonde and tapped on her shoulder.
"Oh, Hi Sierra." Lindsay said with her head hanging low.
"Hey, what's wrong Lindsay I've never seen you so upset." Sierra said in a sincere tone.
"Heather's being a bitch like always. She said I can't go to homecoming with Tyler because it will drag down my social status, but Tyler's so cute and funny and nice and he likes me for me not for my looks! And even after I told her I would tell him we can't go together she told him in the meanest way possible and now he won't talk to me!" Lindsay looked up at Sierra, it was obvious she was sad but, angry? She didn't see that coming.
"Lindsay I can talk to Tyler for you if you want. I'll tell him you didn't actually say anything that Heather said you did-"
"You will? Oh my gosh thank you Sierra! You're the bestest friend ever! Heather was so wrong about you, she said you were a loser with no life but, you're really nice!" Lindsay hugged Sierra.
"One more thing Lindsay, you have to promise me you'll stand up for yourself. I used to do everything Heather said too, and one day I finally told her I'm not taking any more of your shit! You've bossed me around for the last time!" Sierra explained to her.
"I pinky swear promise!" Lindsay said sticking her pinky out. She smiled up at Sierra and proceeded to go to the restroom to fix her makeup.
Sierra smiled too, she was finally making a mark at this school. People are finally realizing she's not who Heather says she is. She's smart, and helpful, and kind! Things were finally looking up. The bell rang for the last class of the day and she raced to class.
At work Sierra hummed and smiled. Her co-workers were happy too, it was great to see Sierra with a smile on her face, and joy in her heart.
She went home to a surprise. Her sister Deylanie was here. They hadn't seen each other since she went off to college 2 years ago, she loved her sister. Now she, she was an example Sierra wouldn't mind following. She was beautiful, talented, sociable. Deylanie got most of their mom's traits. They were both the same skin tone, but Deylanie had green eyes instead of brown and was only 5'5 compared to Sierra's whopping 6'0 and Deylanie had only chosen to get green highlights instead of dyeing her whole head. She smiled widely and dropped her helmet.
"What's got you so joyous sunshine?" Deylanie said leaning on the front door.
"Oh my god what are you doing here? Oh what does it matter my little sisters back home finally!" Sierra ran to her and hugged her tightly. She let go and bopped her head on the head.
"Ow! What was that for?" She exclaimed still smiling.
"2 years! That's what that's for. I should've hit you twice as hard but, I'm in a good mood." Sierra said unlocking their house door.
"Still haven't answered my question big sister." Deylanie joked. They always called each other little sis and big sis due to the fact that Sierra was very much taller than her.
"Oh nothing really except Cody Anderson is taking ME to homecoming at last." Sierra grinned.
"Wow the kid finally realized what a gem you are? Took him long enough. Oh and you know this means we're going dress shopping together while I'm here right?" Deylanie said setting her bags down.
"Duh! EEE! Gosh I'm so excited. But I promised him no crazy stuff so I've got to take it down a notch." Sierra explained.
"Psh, clearly he doesn't know who he's going to homecoming with." Deylanie teased.
"Not that I'm not totally excited you're here but, why are you here?" Sierra asked.
"Ugh, well not only did I miss my big sister but, my roommate is being a total bitch and wants the room to herself and her boyfriend during fall break. And no way am I staying so I can be deprived from sleep to hear "Oh god Ryan you're dick is so big!", which by the way is a total lie seeing as how I slept with him in freshman year, sorry I couldn't come back sooner. I was basically bombing my English and Music class so I had to put all my time in to raising up my grades." Deylanie complained.
"College just sounds like buckets of fun." Sierra said sarcastically.
"Yeah yeah. Enough about me. What are we waiting for I wanna hit the mall and try on dresses like we used to. Except this time we'll actually buy one instead of being chased out by employees." Deylanie explained fondly.
"I'm ready to go, just let me get my wallet." Sierra ran up stairs to retrieve her wallet and put her diary in her lockable drawer on her vanity.
They took Deylanie's car, and on there way to the mall they did everything they used to do on car rides, when sang at the top of their lungs, and honked at people who would try to cut in front of them, Sierra would stick her head out the window. Deylanie would steal peoples parking spots and laugh when they would curse her out. Of course they lost count of the amount of tickets they got from the police. They always had fun together and nothing would ever come between them.
They finally pulled into the parking lot of the mall and got out.
"Oh god, it's Trent Park. He's gotten way cuter since I've last been here." Deylanie said fixing her hair.
"Ew why. He has this weird 9 obsession you know. " Sierra said disgusted.
"Don't care he's hot, single, and can play guitar. Also if he ask my name has two e's at the end. I'll meet up with you in a few you go ahead." She said walking faster.
Sierra rolled her eyes and walked into the mall. She scanned the stores looking for dresses. Sierra was soon about to give up hope until she reached one last store. The dress in the window was perfect, a floral high-low skirt dress. And it was just in her price range. She ran inside, grabbed it off the rack, and paid for the dress. She texted her sister to meet her in the food court while she went to buy make-up.
When they met in the food court Deylanie's shirt was crooked, she was out of breath, her zipper was undone, and her hair was disheveled.
"Gross." Was all Sierra said before they both started laughing.
When they got home her mom was in the kitchen baking and her dad on the couch watching a football game.
"I knew my favorite daughter was here. Come over here and give your mom a hug!" Sierras mom exclaimed after putting her cookies in the oven. Sierra only rolls her eyes and sets her dress on the couch next to her dad.
"What's this?" He ask taking his eyes off the TV.
"Not that you even care but, it's my dress for homecoming."
"You actually got asked to homecoming? Oh then honey we're gonna have to fix your hair and do your makeup. This could be like a bonding experience." Sierra's mother actually sounded happy for her. Sierra's heart lit up at the sound of her mother being happy for her. Things were looking up for her and she could only hope this wasn't just a dream or some by chance of luck.
