Imperfectly perfect lovers

Chapter 3 <3

As soon as Lucian noticed me he waltzed over being the ever confident boy he was.

‘Hey topaz, what you doing today?’

‘Hi Lucian and not much, got basketball training with the year 11s after school. How about you?’

‘Probably going to play football with the mandem, are we all staying at Willows on Saturday?’. - (mandem is a group of boys they generally hang out with)

‘Yeah, we’re gonna get the food and everything sorted too’

‘Cool, can’t wait’

We usually hang out together after school and at each others house or wherever, our friend group was very close. That was the extent of our conversation when our tutor walked in. She done the register and let us know that tomorrow we would be having an assembly with the whole school tomorrow . That’s weird there must be a big announcement.

Anyhow, I was certainly not a nerd myself, I got in trouble with the teachers, came in late or not at all but my grades were well maintained and I had that I don’t give a f**k attitude so no one would bother me. Instead of that shy introverted girl I was now cold and calculated to keep people away.

Over the years Lucian and me had been together and then … not together. He drove me crazy!! Sometimes it felt like was with me for the fun of it. I wasn’t ugly, my hazel eyes now popped and seemed more green, my freckles now suited my face more, my cheeks were less chubby and my eyelashes were full, long and dark like spider legs. My body was fit due to the basketball, netball and athletics I did. I’m competitive, what can I say?

Willow and I got our new schedules and went to our class, they was all the same since we were top set. The day was pretty uneventful and before we knew it Willow, Penelope (our other bestie) and I were buying snacks for the weekend sleepover.

Willows parents were going away and left the house to us two responsible young adults. Pfftttt! Hilarious as f**k! We were having the guys over and gonna watch films, get high. I guess we were responsible for staying indoors tho, right?

Willow, Penelope and I all took showers and done our hair and makeup. Willows pink hair was pin straight flowing down her back with subtle pink eyeshadow framing her eyelashes that had a thin layer of mascara. Her lips had strawberry scented pink lip gloss to finish off with. On the other hand, Penelope tied up her wavy locks into a ponytail with a few curls fanning her face. She had painted her eyelashes with dark mascara making her brown eyes with hues of orange pop and some red lipstick. Me on the other hand had put on a tiny bit of mascara to add to my already long eyelashes, some blush on my cheeks and put on my favourite red lipgloss.

We set everything up and around thirty minutes later the doorbell rang. They were here!
