FAT BUT BE-YOU-TIFUL

chapter-8

Today was an extremely amazing day. I mean just imagine at first I saw an

amazingly handsome boy, then I met Olive, Lily, Tania, had my favorite pizza

and then bumped into that guy. Jack. I like that name. People with that name

are always so romantic. At least in movies/TV. Take titanic or this is us for

instance. Second best part is that pet control people came on time and made

my house a place I could finally die in peace in.

I watched four episodes of MOM. I like Bonnie. She is funny. I had my tea

then dinner. I laid down my bed to sleep but I was too excited to doze off. My

mind wandered off to those blue eyes of his. I decided to stalk him on

Facebook. I logged in and went through some notifications, messages and

searched for JACK BROWN. I scrolled through all JACK BROWNs until I

reached mine. I mean the one I was looking for. I opened his profile and there

he was, showing off his washboard abs in a shirtless picture with two

bikini girls on a beach. The location was tagged to be Hawaii. I clicked on his profile picture. DAMNNN!! 573 likes? That's probably 300 more than all my likes combined. I went through his profile. His status, tags, notes, posts and so on and so forth. If I could deduce his profile like Sherlock Holmes I would say this guy likes parties and hot girls.

Something I really don't consider myself being.

After two-three minutes I heard a ping. One friend request. It was him. HOW? My eyes landed on one blue thumbs up. DAMN IT! I accidently liked one of his posts. I accepted his request. And not so late a messaged popped up on the screen:

JACK BROWNS: GOING THROUGH MY PROFILE HUH? ;)

SARA GARCIA: No! Why would I do that? :/

JACK BROWN: You don't have to lie. Common be a good girl and accept

that. :)

SARA GRACIA: Maybe I was! But how can you be so sure?

I KNOW HOW BUT I STILL GOTTA PLAY IT COOL.

JACK BROWN: I sensed your presence on my profile. Or could it be that you just liked a pic I posted months ago. ;) I really think it was my psychic thing though.

SARA GARCIA: Really? Are you telling me you are a football player and a psychic? Boy are you a total package!

JACK BROWNS; Woooo slow down. We hardly know each other and you are already talking about my package? ;P

SARA GARCIA: Don't flatter yourself.

I got another notification telling me Jack liked my picture. And then another.

SARA GARCIA: Look who is the stalker now!

JACK BROWN: Hey! I am just learning enough about you to give enough description to police. I like to always be prepared.

SARA GARCIA: Of course! Anyways what was your friend's emergency?

JACK BROWN: It was just a pool party that my friend threw and

he did not want to go alone. I am actually texting you from his place. We are having pizza.

SARA GARCIA: Wild party huh!

JACK BROWN: There is pineapple on my pizza. If that's not wild for you then I don't know what is.

SARA BROWN; I mean college is all about experimenting.

JACK BROWN: So what are you doing right now besides stalking me.

SARA GARCIA: Breathing.

JACK BROWN: Though stuff. Want to get coffee after college tomorrow?

SARA GARCIA; I can't say for sure but I will try. Anyways I have to go now. See you later. Bye.

JACK BROWN: Sure! Do you use w******p? I don't login on f*******: much nowadays.

I read his message but logged out without replying. I rushed to my bed and

saw HANNAH's picture flashing on my mobile screen. I picked up and she started asking about my day and to elaborate on the text I sent earlier about mom leaving. I informed about my brother's situation and also told her I met the guy she noticed in the morning. I felt going half deaf when she screamed WHAAATT with highest pitch ever. I told her how it all happened. After hearing all that she was got more excited than I was. I told her she could move in. We talked for a while and then I disconnected the call. I need my beauty sleep.

*BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP*

I turned around and switched off my alarm.

*BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP*

I turned around to other side of my table and switched that one off too.

* BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP*

HOW MANY ALARMS DO I HAVE IN MY HOUSE? I opened one of my eye and looked around to search for that alarm. It was kept on my study table.

*BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP*

GOD! I pulled aside the blankets and got up. I went to the table and switched the alarm off. The far away alarm is probably the only one that can wake me up. I looked at the time.

I could hit shower and get breakfast from the diner down the block.

I blasted music from my speakers and hit the shower. I changed into a striped tee and boyfriend jeans with a denim jacket and a scarf. I took a tour of the house and made sure every outlet were switched off. I went to kitchen and grabbed an apple

and jogged to the front door. Maybe I will just have a coffee and muffin from the café. I locked my front door and kept the keys in the inner pocket of my bag. I saw my neighbor walking his dog. As much as I hate him I loved his fluffy dog. I took out a dog treat ( I always carry dogs treat with me) and gave it to Woofy. He wagged his tail and licked me. Finally a good way to start a day.

When I reached college I was excited to meet my friends and see Jack. I heard someone calling my name I looked around to see Oliver running towards me. We high fived each other. He took a bite from my muffin. He gave me his cheese and ham sandwich. We decided to hit the bar at night after the girls were done unpacking at my place. We decided to skipped some of our classes later to help the girls move.

I took a big sip of my chilled beer while Oliver went to help Tania find the restroom. I ordered some vodka for the table when I saw Hannah staring at someone with her eyes fixed. I looked at her, she was waring tight mini black glitter with a off shoulder embellished red top. She wore 6 inches red pumps with them. I could never stand on them. Neither I have ever wanted to but watching her look so good made me want to do it. I never wear mini skirt. I don't have that kind of confidence. I wore black leather jeggings with white lace top and a leather jacket.

I looked at the direction Hannah was looking and I saw a bunch of guys entering the bar. They were high-fiving a guy in the middle. A very good-looking guy.

JACK? What is he doing her? Is he following him? Will he think I am following him?

I felt a panic rush inside my body and I became more self conscious about myself than I should probably be. I hoped he didn't and won't see me.

"Sara look that's the guy from the college!" Hannah said in a squeaky voice.

"Really? Good for him." I replied, trying to sound unbothered.

"LOOK LOOK!" she said and touched my face to turn it towards the guys.

They took a seat near the bartender. I think bartender knew them. I hated the fact that I was still in their line of vision.

"Sara! I think I like JACK! I mean I couldn't focus on anything since yesterday!!

Look at him, he is so gorgeous! I am in loooveeee " she said with her eyes still fixated.

SAME HERE, I wanted to say.

WAIT! DID SHE SAY SHE LIKED THE GUY?

"Do you really like him? Or is he just another crush?" I Replied calmly.

SHE LIKES A LOT OF GUYS.

"If I could, I'd bang him today. I am kidding but seriously I want him! We would look so good together." she replied

TRUE THAT.

Oliver came to the table with chicken wings. I never liked this guy more. Chicken wings and end to that weird conversation? win-win.

I took another big gulp of my beer and dug into wings.

"Hi there!" I heard a voice.

I looked up with chicken full in my mouth.

"Can I join?" I saw Jack smiling at me.
