Again

My own line

Whatever. I don't even care if I'm late, it's not like I haven't learned everything already. And I only have one friend, that is my bestie, Saphire, so nothing to worry about. She knows,  but swore on her grandmas grave that she wouldn't tell anyone. I trust her. She comes from a family like mine, her father is one of my fathers partners, so her family is rich, like mine. I know that alot of rich teenage girls are bratty, but that's not us. I like that she doesn't act spoiled too much. Just like me. But we do have moey, so we still do, what some people call, 'rich people stuff'. But other than that, we don act like spoiled brats, unless needed. If I can pay the teacher 5,000 dollars, and not get detention, I will happily do so.

Maybe I should bring extra cash then, since I'm late. Perfect! Daddy left one of his wallets on the kitchen counter, maybe I'll take 500, it better be enough. I can't swipe my credit card on the teacher, so I can't pay them that way, whatever. I make my way to the garage, but not before grabbing my channel bag. Which car? Ok, Saph is coming with me shopping after school, and the bmw was to small yesterday, Ford explorer seems nice. I grab the keys, and make my way to the car. Hopping in, I put my bag in the backseat. I start the car, and make my way to Saphires house. It's not to far. PLus, we planned that I pick her up, so she doesn't have to worry about picking her car up after shopping, we're going to the same place anyways.

I show up infront of her house, and honky the horn. She stumbles out the front door. Yeah, she woke up late, same like yesterday. She opened up the door, "If you knew I was gonna wake up late, you could've called me and woken me up," she said. I made an 'o' with my mouth. I actually haven't thought of that. "Sorry, never realized I could do that," I said, while heading toward school. "It's ok, so I was thinking, halloween outfits this year, cluless. Powerpuff girls, or bratz dolls," she said. My face lit up. She didn't say this last time. Yay! Then I strted actually thinking about it. Powerpuff girls are 3, and we only have 2 of us, so thats a no. Clueless, sounds ok, I could pull of cher,my hair has black roots though, and Saphire would be a good cher, but neither of us could be a dee, we had more of a carmel skin tone. I think I like the bratz doll Idea. It's not really a real character, we just have to get dolled up, we can choose any bratz doll. There are so many.

I finally snap out of thinking mode, by the time we get to school, "Bratz dolls seem the best out of the three," I concluded. She laughed, "Thought you'd say that, just wanted n experts opinion," she joked. I laughed, "OK, let's head in," I say, getting out the car.

I walk into the spanish classroom. All heads turn to me. Ms. Tut turned to me. "Late again Comet. Do you have a pass?" she asked. I smiled, fixing my posture. "Happy you asked, heres a fifty," I whiser, handing her the 50 dollar bill. Her face lights up "Thank you Comet, you can uh- um take a seat," she stuttered out. Yeah yeah. I make my way to my seat. This class is gonna be boring, again.

The bell rings 50 minutes later, thank god, PE with Saph. I make my way to the gym, going to the lockeroom. Yes, I paid to have my locker near Saphs, and I paid to get one of the large ones. It's not unusual. I make my way to Saph. And hug her from behind, practically attacking her. "Get off me you mad woman!" She yelled, making me laugh. "Ok, I need to get dressed anyways," I say getting off her back. I unlock my locker, and get changed, into my light blue lululemon two peice. "You know this isn't yoga class right, Comie?" Saphire says. I laugh, "Well, I know that, but it is dodgeball today, and I have decided I'm gonna kick some ass," I retort. She laughs, giving me a high five. "Let's do it!" she shouts.

We make our way out to the gymnasium.

********

The final bell rings.

I make my way to the car, hopping in, and waiting for Saph. Then I get a text,

Saphieee: Um, I think I'll catch a ride with William

Thats weird, it didn't happen last time, but we did do different things, so yeah, I get it. Butterfly effect.

Comet: Oh, kk, guess we can go shopping a different day, Luv u xoxo

Saphieee: Ok luv u 2! xoxo

I start driving to the house.

*********

I walk in the door. "I'm home!" I yell. I hear someone come down the stairs. "Hey sis," my brother, Lance says. I run and hug him. I haven't seen him in a month! "I missed you Gum!" I say, hugging him tigher. He laughs, "Missed you too, Twinkie," he says. I release my hold on him. And make my way to the kitchen. "Want something to eat?" I ask. He chuckles, "Twink, we are going to dinner in a couple hours." He says. I smack myself in the face, how did I forget? "Well then, I have to get ready, you should too!" I say, making my way to the room.

I close my door, and walk into the closet. Ugh! Why a formal dinner! Now I need to find a dress. The feathery white one wont do, maybe the blue one? No. I walk out of the closet, and sit on my bed. I feel something under me though, I stand back up and see a box. That says from dad to princess. I open up the box, and pull out a dress. It's so beautiful! It's black with a stars on the top. It's short, and flowy, not puffy. I love it so much! I start to tear up. I look at the tag, it's not a big designer, but it says, Comet's closet. What? I'll ask daddy about it at dinner. I wipe the tears away, and make my way into the shower.

**********

Im just finihig my makeup, ad hair, when dad walks in. "Hey daddy," I say. He grins, "Hey princess, did you get the dress?" He asks. I nod. "I was just about to change into it, I love it so much." I say. "Ok, just making sure, we are all waiting downtairs by the way," He says. I nod, "Ten more minutes." HE nods, and smiles, "I may also need you to help with a deal, I have a partner and his son coming tonight too," He adds. I nod, and smile, "I'll help" I say. Im to much of a daddys girl. He nods, and leaves the room.

See the reason why my dad and I are so close, is because my mom died when I was 11. We were always so close to eachother after that. Lance too. And then when I was 13 my dad found Riley, my stepmom. I love her too, but I am just way closer to my dad. Well, their waiting for me, I should get changed. I grab the dress, and change into it. I go over to my full length mirror in awe. This dress is perfect. Ok, I need to hurry! I'll thank dad later. I grab a pair of clear stiletos. These look cute. I put them on, then grab my black louis vuitton, and head downstairs.

I walk down the stairs, and into the livingroom, reiciving a gasp from my family. "Aw, darling, you look so beautiful!" Riley says, making her way to hug me. I smile, and tell her thank you. "You look great Twink," Lance says, giving me a hug aswell. "And you look, fancy," I say back to him. He is wearing a maroon suit, which I'm positive took a lot of persuading, because dad is a strictly black suit guy. I laugh in my head, when I turn to dad, who is wearing, yet another, black suit. His eyes look watery. SInce when does he cry. "Dad, why are you crying?" I ask. "Nothing, you just look so grown," He says, trying to keep his composure. Riley sighs, "Ok, you big baby, we are going to be late, we have to go," She says, grabbing his arm. He nods.

Me and Lance walk out the front door, and mom and dad go to grab the cr. When the pull it into the front, we get into the back seat, and mom starts driving. After a couple minutes, I decide to ask dad about the Comet's Closet thing. "Uh, dad I have a question," I say. He looks back to me. "And the question is-" He trailed off. "Well, you know you got me this dress, I looked at the tag, and it said Comet's Closet," I say. He face palms himself. "Well, you weren't supposed to know yet, but uh, you know how you love fashion, and you always wanted your own line, well I uh, kinda got you on-" He started, but was cut off by my squealing. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! OMG! I have to text SAPH! And just so you know, if anything goes wrong, I am NOT restarting this day again!" I say. They laugh, and a round of ok's come out their mouths. Then I grab my phone to text Saph

Comet: OMG YOU WONT BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED SAPH!

Saphieee: What happened? Good news, or bad news?

Comet: GOOD NEWS 100% GOOD NEWS!

Saphieee: OMG THEN TELL ME!

Comet: OK MY DAD GOT ME A

Saphieee: A what??? TELL ME!

Comet: HE GOT ME A CLOTHING LINEEEEEEE!!!!!! EEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Saphieee: OMG IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU COMET!

Comet: Thanks Saphie, I appreciate it

Saphieee: Cant wait to help you with Ideas! XOXO

Comet: I cant wait either! XOXO

I squeal again.

*************

We walk in to the fancy resturaunt, that I don't know the name of, and as soon as we walk in, the staff are practically at our feet. Why do they act this way with us, we are just regular people, who have money. I know it sounds bad when I say it like that, but I just don't like suck ups. A waiter comes to us, "Reservation for Cole?" The waiter asks. My father nods, Cole being our last names. "Right this way," The waiter says, beckoning us to follow him. He leads us to an empty booth, I sit in the middle, inbetween mom(riley) and Lance. A waitress comes and asks for our drinks, but da says that we are waiting for 2. I forgot that he had a partner coming!

We sat around chatting for a while, and then dad's partner, and son, arive, but the partner, who I now know is, Rey, said that his son, Lexton, is in the bathroom, an will join us shortly. I turn to Lance, who is on his phone, I snatch it out his hand, "Hey!" he said. I laughed. "Mom, Lance was on his phone," I say, handing his phone to her. She grabs it, "Thanks Comie, but I'll be taking yours aswell," she said. I sighed reaching into my pocket, grabbing my phone, and handing it to her. She smiled, and I couldn't help but smile back. I turn back to Lance, "Pattycake!" I say. He laughs, shrugging, "OK, we have nothing else to do," he replied. We were mid put it in the oven, when I stoped, my eyes lading on a god. An athletic body type, with a sharp jawline, darkbrown hair, and light green eyes. I quickly shake my head, to prevent myself from staring. The god is making his way towards our table, why?

"Oh, guys, this is my son, Lexton," Rey says. Oh, he's his son. Aw, not fair! Now I don't have a chance. All of this stuff is scrictly buisness. Whatever. Everyone says hi to lexton and everyone says Lexton, and everytime he corrects, with 'just Lex'. When it's my turn I say, "Nice to meet you, Lex." He smiles, and I shake his hand.

The waitress comes over, and asks what drinks we want. Mom said, "Peach tea, please" Lance said, "Root beer" Dad said, "Root beer aswell" Rey said, "Root beer aswell" and then he turned to his son who said, "Not root bear this time, maybe a- actually, yeah root beer aswell" I laughed. Then she turned to me and I said, "Strawberry fanta, and a strawberry slushie, by chance do you have rootbeer floats? Actually I'll save that for dessert, so yeh strawbery fanta, and a strawbery slushie, thank you" She nodded, then left. They all turned to look at me, I shrugged, making them all go back to their conversations, I just sat there, excluded from "grown up talk". When she came back with our drinks, she asked what we wanted to eat. Thank god I'm starving. When she turned to me I said, "Um, ok, Lamb chops, a rossoto, a beef wellington, and definitly pork chops." I smiled at her, she just nodded politely, but all the tabe guests turned to me, I shrugged, yet again, "What, I play sports, I need my proteins! Soccer, volleyball, cheer, gymnastics, and I do aerial silks!" I say proudly. My family nods, in realization, but Rey and Lex look at me in bewilderment. Rey turns to my dad, "You really make her do all those sports?" He asks. My dad shakes his head. "She chooses them on her own, I just supply her with the support, and money she needs for it." He says. Lex and Rey nod.

While we are waiting for our food, I turn to Lance, "Gum, I'm bored," I say. He nods, pulling me onto his lap, "Try to teach me how to braid with your words, and you have to trust me to braid your hair," he says. I nod, "Make it three parts, and grab for the right and put it in the middle, then the left, ad repeat," I instruct. He starts. I notice Lex staring, and I make eye contact, he breaks it.

**********

We finally got our food! And Lance didn't do to good with the braid, so I undid it. All my food is infront of me, and I dig in, not like a pig, but rather gracefully. "Comet, your gonna have to liste to what me and Rey have to say, it's uh, important," my dad says. I look up at him, and nod, continuing to eat. "So me and Rey have been, uh talking. We have something we would like you two to discuss over dinner, that being Comet and Lexton, at another restaraunt tommorow, we will give you the files, and you guys can uh, discuss it over dinner, the body gaurds will be there to make sure you stay, for at least 2 hours," dad says. I nod, I dont know why Lexton and I have to discuss it, but I can help daddy with a deal, no biggie. "K, k, daddy." I say. He nods happily. "Sure, why not," Lex says.

**********

"Bye!" We all cheered.

"Wait, uh Lex!" I say. He turns around to face me, "Yes?" he responds. I take out my notepad, yes I have a notepad it comes in handy, and I write my number on it. "There, you'll probably need it so we can make arrangments, and not end up coming to this place two nights in a row," I say handing hime the paper. He nods, "Thanks, I'll uh call you tommorow then," he says. I smile, "Looking forward to it," I say, before turning around and heading to the car.

Lance got in the car right after me laughing. "Looking forward to it," he says in a high pitched tone. I smack him upside the head. "OW! MA! TWINK HIT ME," he yelled. I laughed. "Well, thats why you dont mock her crushing on somebody," mom said. I scoff. "I am NOT crushing, simply helping dad with the deal," I say. They all laugh. Whatever I turn my attention to the window.

**********

We walk inside, I head straight to my room, but not before stealig my phone from moms purse. I walk into the door, grabbing my silk pajamas and changing into them. I grab my phone and roll onto my bed. Going to text Saph

Comet: Girl, the buisnes partner dinner went pretty good, the partners son was like a greek god or sum!

Saph: You have to get me a picture!!!

Comet: I'll see if I can tommorow, on my dinner date with him!

Comet: Ok, I'll also see if we can look at some of my lines peices, I guess XOXO see you tommorow gn

Saph: Gn

I put my phone on the bedside table. Reach for the curtains on my bed, and closing them, trapping all the light outside the bed area, and leaving me in the dark, in a few seconds, I fall asleep. Cant wait for tommorow
