The sun kissed my skin

It’s the best day of my life today, I think to myself laying in the sun and feeling the warmth on my skin. I love summer, it’s heat, the flowers that bloom. I look over at my wonderful friend, Alex, next to me. He is so handsome I think to myself with a smile on my face. We have been friends since I can remember. His mom and my mom are best friends. He has always been there for me. He is sweet and kind. And don’t let me forget how extremely handsome he is. Wherever we go, girls are just throwing themselves at him. He has shown interest in some but nothing lasts long and I wonder why. I hope it’s not me. I am so ordinary. I have long dark hair, green eyes, I am curvaceous. Not like the girls he has gone on dates with. They have perfect hour glass figures, perfect outfits and makeup, they all look absolutely gorgeous. I laugh at my thoughts. We are just friends. Aw, my best friend, Carly, made it today! I am so excited to have girl time with her. I have missed her after two weeks on vacation. She looks so radiant, her light brown hair with golden natural highlights up in a messy bun and minimal makeup and she still looks gorgeous. I can’t wait to hear about what she got up to. "Hello Carly." I jump up and give her the biggest hug ever. "You look amazing, tell me about your vacation." I thought I saw Alex scoot a little closer but when I looked at him he seemed so nonchalant. "Hey Carly, good to see you,” he says. She replies "Hey, good to see you too." she carries on talking about the ocean and waves and how amazing her holiday was. I was enjoying her company so much, telling her what we got up for 2 weeks. It was so much fun. I then want to see her tomorrow too and so we decided to meet at the mall. Go get our hair and nails done. I was super excited!!! The next day arrived and Carly offered to pick me up. She stopped outside and I jumped in her nice white car. It’s so clean and always smells like flowers. On the way to mall we are chatting about what shops we would like to go to when all of a sudden a car blew hooter at Carly. She shrugged it off but then it blew hooter again and drove in front of us. I asked "Carly, what’s happening?" she looked at me with a worried look on her face and I immediately knew something was wrong.. I shouted "Take the next turn off." She looked at me and frowned as if she didn’t know if she should listen to me but took action and turned off. As they were in front I doubt they followers but I gave her directions "Turn left at the first street" "Turn right here" We were still driving as fast as we can without being in danger but eventually calmed down and came to a stop in a familiar street. She turned around and gave me a angry look "Madi , how could you bring me to my Roger’s house?" she seemed so angry I got a fright when she shouted. I looked and didn’t realize this is where we were headed. I frowned at her "Carly I didn’t bring you here on purpose. I just know a way to the mall from here. I wanted us to be safe. You seemed worried and I just wanted to get us out of the situation." "WELL, you are wrong." she says back in a very firm tone. "Those guys are just being silly. Men sometimes whistle and try and get your attention. I am not sure what why you are so paranoid Madi. But please… " she stopped. I waited for the rest of her sentence but she just closed her eyes for a while and then re-opened them and started the car. Should I apologize? I thought to myself. Did I read her incorrectly? We have been friends for years and I have never had this happen. We rode is silence for a while. I kept running what happened over in my head. Eventually my thoughts were redirected to Rodger. Rodger is Carla’s ex boyfriend. I don’t exactly know why they broke up. They seemed like the perfect couple. They loved each other, were always together, best friends, sometimes teasing each other. She didn’t seem that heartbroken when she ended the relationship. She doesn’t talk about it much. Only the day she broke up with him. She cried so much but never really told me why she made this decision. I then wondered if he would have helped us if we were in trouble. Was he home? My thoughts directed my vision to my friends face. I couldn’t see what emotion was on her face. She seemed deep in thought and eventually we reached the mall. "Are the sure you are still up for this?" I asked "You seemed so angry." "OH Madi" she replied "How can I be mad at you?, I was just wondering if you saw a dangerous situation that I didn’t. Men sometimes whistle at me . I must admit it was weird that he pulled in front of me. But I didn’t feel scared or anything." Her words had me confused because the look on her face at the time was worried. My thoughts were interrupted by her big hug she gave me and I missed her so much and wanted to spend this day with her. I hugged her back and said "Let’s go." In the hairdresser, of course I had to apologize for being late. But Carly is colouring her hair which I thought was unusual but maybe she just needs a change. I am sure she will look great with anything she does. After that we got a manicure and did some shopping. After all that we are starving and decide to get some food. We sat at this small coffee shop, it’s different from the others you see in malls. It’s completely pink and white, with such delicious tarts and cakes. I was definitely having dessert today. I think a slice of chocolate cake will do. Carly decided on carrot cakes, it’s her favorite. We were waiting for our bill when Carly received a message on her phone. Again she looked worried. "Carly, what’s wrong?" I asked expecting terrible news.
