At The Beta's Command

Chapter 1: "Who says I'm not going?" I asked Moniq Gonzales, my Spanish beauty best friend who I envied since I met her. Like come'on, God must be too generous to her. Light tan skin, curves at all the right places, straight brown shoulder-length hair matching her hazel eyes and alluring accent! While me, Amberly Nicole Daniels has pale skin, with wavy black waist length hair, skinny with tiny/small/bit of curves bod which Moniq says every model desires and to die for and bluish-grey eyes. We are at the cafeteria having lunch and talking about the upcoming party on Saturday at Lance' house. "How about...me?" says a familiar voice coming right beside me. Kissing my head then my cheeks before sitting at the vacant seat that I reserved just for him. Well, I'm a left-handed so I prefer him to be seated on my right. He knows about that. Anyway, he is Blake Peters, my boyfriend since sophomore year. Captain ball, the schools heartthrob, yes I know, and I am that lucky. Six foot in height, mascular abs, chest and arms you would think he's a fighter, blond hair, green eyes. Now, you don't have to ask me why I liked him. It's all in him, but of course it is him being sweet, thoughtful, selfless and not a player at all regardless of all the girls falling for him left and right and those school bitches who always tries to get his attention by wearing super short shorts or revealing tops. Like seriously? We're at school for god's sake. "And why not?" I asked arching my right eyebrow facing him. "Baby, the last time you went to a party you end up throwing up on my car floor and I have to carry you to your room very discretely or your father will know that I am carrying his drunk baby girl to her room. I could've ended battered or knocked out you know." I laughed at the memory, and it was just last week! He's right, he can take my dad but of course being a gentleman that he is he will never fight back. And I could've been grounded for like forever. Well, my Dad's cool but very protective since my Mom is no longer with us because she died giving birth to me. He allows me to party but not without Moniq and Blake, and no alcohol but of course it's a secret that I do drink...a lot. "Well, I promise it won't happen again..." I said wearing my sweetest smile. "Oh, you said that for like ahhmm hundredth time before." my best friend Moniq taunted while smiling sweetly at me. Sweet my ass! She's doing it purposely knowing it could start a fight between Blake and I. "See? I just want to keep you away from that habit. You always knock yourself drunk everytime and I have to look after you because guys are looking at you lustfully. Have you forgotten the last time I almost kill Andrew? I was suspended for a week when it didn't even happen at school." oooppps I think my Blakey here got mad at the memory. "That's because he is Principal William's son." Moniq intrudes again. I glared at her but again, she smiles sweetly. "Look Baby, I will never be tired of protecting you, and I will never regret breaking somebody's or even everybody's nose for you but can we please save the trouble for the both of us? If your father knew everything 'bout it he will surely ground you and you know how much I hate that." I know, last summer Dad grounded me for going home late, no phone, no friend, no Blake for three weeks. What's so wrong with going home late? Well, as soon as I closed my bedroom door silently,afraid that my Dad would wake up, some crazy b***h threw a stone at my window screaming "Hey slut we're not finished yet!" oh that was Britt the school's number one slut. She has a bleeding nose and messy hair that night, that's what she got after she tried to seduce my boyfriend right in front of me. To make the story short, I got busted and grounded. "I know Blakey, (by the way he hates that name but I love when he make face in annoyance just like now haha!) but I promise I will be more responsible this time." I said pleadingly giving him the puppy dog face that I know weakens him. Moniq snort knowing what exactly I'm doin'. "Fine, but..." "Just like that? I was about to get some popcorn and watch some more of your drama." Moniq interrupted again. "That's it!" I said, picking a spoonful of my salad and throwing it at her. She quickly moved but not quick enough and the salad goes to her hair...she paused, opens her mouth, closes it again and doing the same for about three times then all hell broke loose. "Food fight!" some kid shouted and all I can see are foods flying left and right. Salad, bread, soda cans (ouch!), apples, mayonnaise, you name it we have it flying! I was busy laughing my ass off that I didn't saw Moniq coming closer to me and the next thing I knew I was soaked with cold chocolate drink and strawberry syrup. And that my friend is why I, Moniq and my boyfriend Blake got a three days community service punishment. "Good thing I always have extra shirts, this sauce stinks." Blake says groaning. "Well, that's garlic-vinegar sauce for you baby."I said cheerfully. "Look at what you did with my Doctor Who shirt!" Moniq says almost crying, huh she and her Doctor Who addiction. "It's just a ketchup dear, you soaked me with chocolate and strawberry!" "Atleast those are sweets!"she cried. "Now, as punishment for dragging me with this food fight, I'm going to lick all that sweet stuff off of you." said Blake with mischievous smirk, and that's my cue to run fast, but of course not without dragging Moniq with me. Best friends atick together right? This is life for me, just have fun. Don't be afraid of the rules especially when you can always find a way out. Just be yourself and enjoy everything while it last. You may never know when or where it would end so enjoy the moment and just have fun.
