So this is a story about a really popular girl. The girl doesn’t know who she is and is trying to find out once and for all. This is the official first chapter!
I got up and layed in bed, listening to the none stop beeping of an alarm clock. Just another day in school… ugh. I slowly got up and turned the alarm clock off. Who knew a girl like me was tired in the morning ? No one I thought miserably. No one knows the real me, I don’t even know the real me.
After my shower, I curled my beautiful blonde hair that my friends envied. It hung just past my shoulder with brown streaks running through it. My hair was straight and had stylish layers. I had dark brown eyes that seemed pretty normal until you got up close. When somebody looked into my eyes they get lost and claim they were falling through chocolate. I smiled my best I’m popular and want to be your friend smile. I nodded satisfied, then got dressed in distressed jeans and a purple t-shirt that said “I heart NY”. I smeared on some lip gloss and a hint of pink eye shadow, then ran down stairs.
“Hey Mom” I smiled, happy to see her safe and not looking sick. Last week she was in the hospital, sick with swine. That was the scariest time in my life. I would never say that to Brigid though. Brigid was the most popular girl in school, and the meanest. I was her best friend sadly and she thought that the scariest thing in my life was when Blake almost didn’t ask me out. Blake was the second most popular guy in the school. He was extremely handsome with dark brown hair and black eyes. I liked him a lot, but I wish he would stop looking at Rose. Rose was the person I was suppose to be best friends with. She was nice and extremely pretty, almost prettier than me! She had curly black hair and eyes that were as blue as ice. If it weren’t for the fact that I had one most beautiful this year, Blake would probably be going out with Rose.
“Sky dear are you okay?” Mom asked a worried look covered her face.
” Yeah, of course!” I said. I rummaged through the pantry looking for cereal. I didn’t want Mom to get worried over my social life.
“Oh, well you’re gonna miss the bus if you don’t hurry!” she said rushing around trying to get Tommy to put his shoes on. Tommy was my little brother he was 5 years old and the cutest thing in the whole wide world… besides Blake. I slipped on my red converse shoes and slung my backpack over my shoulder. I put on my popular smile and walked out the door. Here I come popularity nightmare.
“Really Sky, really??” Brigid stated, flipping her bleached blonde hair to the side. Her blue eyes like daggers.
“Um… Yeah, I kind of like poltics…” I mumbled, twirling my hair around my finger.
” Wait, stop right there! You like politics! What does that even mean???” Brigid smirked rolling her eyes.
“I think it would be really fun to be in student council!” Rose butted in coming back from the bathroom. I shot her a thankful glance.
“Oh, great! You’re on board too! What will Blake think of you Sky!!! Your such a geek! If you want do something for the school, cheerlead! I mean at least you’ll be picking guys up!” Brigid was staring at me in disbeleif. I was being sooooo stupid, I mean student council! I was such a geek! What had I been thinking!!
“You’re right Brig… I guess it was just another way of wasting time. Thanks for talking some sense into me!!” I let out a smile, that I hoped looked real and sincere… even though it wasn’t.
“Of course I’m right! Your lucky your my best friend or else everyone would know by now!” She gave me another quick look, “And besides, you’re to clumsy to cheerlead.” With that she stalked away flashing a dazzling smile at Mark. Mark was the most popular guy in school and Brigid was trying to get him to ask her out. He wasn’t as cute as Blake, but he was popular and that was all that really mattered. His hair was a sandy blonde and he had plain brown eyes. He turned to look at me and winked. Wait, what did that mean??? I gave him a puzzled look, but if he saw he didn’t pay any attention.
“Sky, you know if you want to do student council, you should,” Rose was giving me a serious look.
“Nah… It was a kind of stupid idea and I’m really happy Brigid talked some sense into me!” I gave her a smile and turned around to find Blake.
“Hey,” Blake gave me a smile that melted my heart. He was soooo cute! “I was thinking we could go to the movies tonight or something,” He said.
“Yeah sure, that would be great!!!” I could feel the butterfly’s in my stomach. It would be our first date, saying that the first time we went out Brigid had gone too, with Justin.
“Perfect! I’ll pick you up at 5:00,” He put his arm around me and carried my books. Oh gosh, he was the best boyfriend ever!!! I gave a quick nod and as we walked away my head leaning on his shoulder, he turned around and flashed a smile at Rose… My heart sunk, maybe he wasn’t sooo great………
So I decided to change Brigid’s name to Bridget because I like Bridget better. Also please leave a comment because I would like to know if people enjoy my writing!!!
“Ergggggghhhh!!!!” I let out a frustrated hiss. Blake was going to pick me up in an hour and I couldn’t find anything to wear. Maybe I could wear that blue scarf with those shoes and pair it with that really pretty white shirt. Wait no, that didn’t work, I had spilled grape juice on that shirt. I sat on my bed and let out a defeated cry, “AHHHHHHHHHHH!!”
“Are you okay!!!” Mom came rushing through the door.
“Yeah, it’s just that I have nothing to wear!!!” I pointed to the pile of clothes on my floor to prove it.
“Oh, that’s not true” Mom laughed. She rummaged through my closet and pulled out a black tank top that flowed, it had fake diamonds on the neckline. Next, she went to my pile of clothes and pulled out a pair of dark skinny jeans. “Here,” she handed me the clothes.
“But what shoes should I” Mom cut me off.
“It was meant to be a surprise, but since you obviously need help, I’ll give them to you early.” She smiled as she left the room. I smiled to as I looked at the outfit she had picked out. It was absolutelyperfect, just as long as I could find some shoes. Mom came back and handed me a pair of shoes. They were the gladiator sandals I had wanted for the whole year.
“Wow… Thanks, their perfect…” I stared at the shoes in complete wonder.
“No need to thank me,” Mom put her hands up like she was quieting a crowd, “Now why don’t you get ready”
At 5:00
“Ding Dong” Oh crap, that had to be Blake. I looked at myself in the mirror for the hundredth time. My hair was lying flat, check. My makeup looked natural, check. The clothes were stain free, check. Good, I was ready. I ran downstairs and answered the door.
“Hey” Blake greeted. He was wearing a leather jacket and a pair of jeans. He looked extremely cute, like ready for a photo shoot.
“Hey” I answered not knowing what else to say, “Uh, come on in. I just have to grab my purse.” He nodded like he completely understood.
“Oh is that you Blake!!” My Mom came in and they shook hands. This was their second time meeting. The first time went really well. Blake was very nice and seemed to be part of the family.
I ran back into my room and grabbed my dark purple purse. I looked inside making sure everything was in place. I had my cell phone, check. My wallet, check. My hairbrush along with backup makeup, check. My supply of hair clips and ponytails, check. Bridget had lectured me about hair clips and ponytails for almost 15 min. What if your hair suddenly gets, like frizzy becuase of the weather. Or what if your hair just looks plain bad!!! I smiled after that I always kept hair supplies in my purse.
“I’m ready!!” I ran downstairs and hugged Mom goodbye.
“Make sure she’s home by 8:00″ My mom stated, giving Blake her strict stare.
“Absolutley Mrs. Jameson” Blake replied holding my hand as we walked out the door and into the crowded streets of Chicago.
Hey guys super duper sorry about not posting in like 4 months
Kind of got caught up in spring fever!!!!! For those that haven’t read previous chapters, READ THEM!!!! Please comment, comments make my day, even if they are just a few words.
I slammed my locker shut and began walking to homeroom. I was on cloud nine, wait no cloud ten. Whatever, I was as happy as I could be and that was all that mattered. The date had gone perfectly and I hadn’t even seen Bridget yet!!! After the date I wasn’t in the mood to deal with her nosy questions, I had turned my phone off all night. When I turned it on this morning I had like 34 messsages from her and 5 from Blake.
“Hey!!! Sky!!!” I let out a big sigh and turned around to find Bridget running up to me…. or at least trying to run. She was wearing gladiator stilletos and a TIGHT denim skirt, at least her shirt fit, aka: not 2 sizes to small.
“Hey Bridget!!!!” I put on my happiest smile. Gosh I hope I looked presentable. Crap, I was wearing baby blue!!! Never ever let me see you in baby blue Sky!!! It’s called BABY blue for a reason!!! I shook them memory from my head. Please lord, please let her not notice!!!!
“Why didn’t you reply to any of my texts!!!” Bridget whined, putting on her pouty face.
I tried to look clueless, “You texted me? Hmmmmm…. I guess I didnt get them….” I whipped out my cell phone and pretended to scroll through my messages.
“I sent you like, a hundred!!!” Bridget moaned, “If not a hundred a gazillion!!!”
34 Miss Whiney Pants, get your facts straight. “Well I didn’t get them!” I replied in the perkiest voice I could master. Thank goodness the bell rung at that moment! “I’ll see you in class!!!” I quickly turned around and walked into the mess of 9th graders.
Bridget would not stop bugging me all day. When ever I saw her or heard her I would attempt to camoflouge myself as well as I could, but at the end of the day I wouldn’t be able to ignore her.
“Sky, wait up!!” Bridget pouted, scurrying over to me.
“Hey Bridget!” long time no see I thought miserably.
“I need to get the 411 on what happened last night!” Bridget smiled, “How did it go?”
“It was really great, he was really nice,” I prayed that she would leave it at that, but knowing her she would never give up.
”Did you guys kiss??? Was it in the movie theater? Ooooo what part of the movie did he kiss you at and did he put his arm around?” Bridget would not stop asking questions, “What did you wear? What did he wear……”
“Brig!!!” I hollered.
“Sorry,” she apoligized, “and are you wearing baby blue?!”
“Yes, I am wearing baby blue,” I stated as I watched her tense to my reply, ” and yes he did kiss me. It wasn’t in the movie theater, it was at the park. He did not do the stupid yawn move and I wore a black tank top, skinny jeans, and new gladiator sandals.”
“Really Sky baby blue!” I rolled my eyes, here it comes again, “Why were you in the park?? Btw I think you should have worn that white shirt I got you for your birthday.”
“We were having a picnic…” I decided not to mention the fact that I spilled grape juice on that shirt.
“A picnic, really!” Bridget stared at me in disbeleif. I wanted to scream something terrible at her. I wanted to tell her she was a slut and that she would never ever be my best friend, but what would that do to my status?
“Yes we went on a picnic, but it was not my idea,” I quickly added, “And I didn’t breaak up with him becuase that would completely destroy my status!” I told her hoping it came out beleivable.
“Ooooh!” Bridget nodded, “That makes perfect sense, don’t worry your secret is safe with me. I have one more question, tongue or no tongue?”
“Bridget!!!!!” I squeeled, “No tongue of course!”
“Just wondering.” She shrugged her shoulders and marched off.
