Summer Plans
"oh come on Jade what do you have better to do anyway"Carla teased. Well if you must know that one Eric guy asked me to be his date for his sister's wedding. "Seriously that's laughable" Carla snorted. You hate weddings and didn't his sister stick glue all in your hat that one year? The bed creaked slightly as I adjusted my position painting her last left nail. Oh my God that was fifth grade we were all stupid kids back then. Plus he said he would take me to see the wicked play if I went along with him. she jumped up to examine herself in a dresser mirror spinning back to me dramatically.
"Now we are getting somewhere", Carla said smiling .I was starting to think I would have to watch my best friend with Eric.Falling on to her plush lavender comforter Carla makes the grossest giggle between gagging noises. He isn't that bad you're so mean and insensitive I say carefully sitting the polish in it's case in her nightstand table. We have never been like that we are just friends I declare. phff only because you've turned him down 20 thousand times Carla giggles. The guy is a total dweeb she adds rolling her eyes.
Whatever at least he isn't Kyle. I say plugging my noise he is the only person in the world my mother will allow in the house with shoes on. ugh I date one guy with smelly feet and you never let me live it down she says shrugging. "Can't ever we had to practically evaluate the house", Jade responds.
Ok ok I give up I'll leave you alone Carla said defeated. I guess I'll have to do the stupid biology report by myself she said. Pouting sliding down the door looking up with her Amber doe eyes. Doing your own work might be good for you. I hear you'll actually learn something that way I add sarcastically.
Buzz Buzz hello mother, Jade we have a very important family dinner tonight. Important as ? As in I need you to be here at 7pm sharp in something nice. Not looking like you spent all day playing in dirt. Sure thing mom is that all the information I'm getting i asked annoyed? For now yes it's a surprise your father would like to devyout the details." I promised I wouldn't spoil it ",she finished nonchalantly. Whatever guess I'll see you at 6:30 I respond pacing the floor of the bedroom. Of course I'll have to iron you out so you're presentable mother added audaciously. ok see you then I... click love you too mother.
Well it's 4 now sorry Carla I have to go play dress up for the parents. Some fancy dinner plans with demands to follow. It's the only time they notice my existence. I could help you..... she trailed off. No offense I say carefully last time I let you control my appearance my parents said I looked like a hooker. Carla was Bratty spoiled big beautiful amber honey doe eyes. She now has light pink hair with a blonde star crowning her part. This is only one of many of her crazy styles. I don't even think she knows her natural color at this point. But she definitely pulls it off like a perfectly tan 5'ft Barbie doll that guys generally drool over.
Too funny your mom tried to pay me not to be your friend after that summer. Bleached my hair and I had to wear wigs for a year and a half. I showed up at the house in a short glitter skirt and a crop top with a blue cotton candy colored wig. Yeah we almost killed her that year she fainted and everything.Serves her right for being such an up tight prude Carla adds scrunching her face. We were 17 are you not supposed to get all your wild hairs out while you're young?
Shit it's 5 now I really have to go I'll call you later k. I dash out the door down her creaking steps into the cool rainy evening air. Good thing I'm only 10 minutes away. I think to myself starting to jog through a overgrown field. Now to cut through Eric's and my neighbors yard. That just conveniently enough has a gate between their yards.
Now that I'm home I run soaking wet into my front door to find My mother Sarah with her pinched face looking disgusted.Sarah is forty five blonde hair with white streaks and glimmering ice blue eyes. Don't you know we have to be there at 7. she says one hand on her hip the other ushering me inside brashly. I know I know I'm getting ready now I say flustered and rushed.
Running up the stairs with a squish every step of the way. And of course I slide on the bathroom tile luckily falling on my butt and elbows. s**t this hurts f*****g mother ugh. I hear my mother clearly more aggravated than concerned. Now what was that? I fell I'm getting into the shower now. She's at the door informing me she's picked out my outfit for the night's events. Please just wear it I don't need you embarrassing us tonight and hurry up.
