Cinderella my Ass

NEVER TELL YOUR MOTHER YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON SOMEONE!!!

"Ryder!" My mom shouted my name loudly through the whole house. I just turned around on the other side ignoring her. It"s Sunday. I want to sleep. Am I asking to much? No!

Okay I know I was overreacting a little bit and getting pissed off too quickly but I have been so tired this weekend that I don"t really give a God damn about it. I know it"s my fault for not sleeping. After spending the whole night outside with Midnight and the night before that waiting for the majesty to show up, I slept almost the whole day on Saturday and I planned to do the same thing again. Midnight didn"t came last night and I didn"t really care, thinking that probably he was sleeping the whole day like me. After all he was a human too and humans need sleep. The end of the lesson for today.

"Ryder!!!" My mom this time screamed my name in a panicking way that made me get up from my bed and shout in an irritated way.

"What?" Even e deaf would notice with how much anger I shouted the word. In me defence I"m not a morning person. And I was pretty sure she was just doing all of these just so I wouldn"t sleep the whole day like I would wanted. Just because she feels it like this.

"A freaking hot guy is asking for you!" My mom shouted and I felt like fainting at her words. "A FREAKING HOT GUY IS ASKING FOR YOU! BRING YOUR HUGE ASS DOWNSTAIRS RIGHT NOW!!!"

Oh my God I will kill her!

Not wanting to be more embarrassed from my mom in front of whoever was downstairs I practically ran downstairs not seeing where my feet landed. Now imagine this. I"m in my Micky Mouse pyjamas, my hair is messy because I just woke up, in the corner of my mouth was the faint mark of the drooling I had done during sleep. Now I"m running with the maximum power down the stairs and I miss the last step, screaming in a high pitch voice while falling with my face on the floor and the butt popping out in the most embarrassing way possible as an unlady like noise comes out from my throat. If you can imagine that, then you know exactly what happened and how awkward the whole situation turned for me. And to make it worse a really hot and breath-taking Aiden stood in front of me laughing his hot butt off.

I sat slowly on the floor, trying to fix my hair and wipe away the mark from the drooling, while a blush exploded on my face. It was like someone threw a tomato on my face. Talking about awkward I had in my forehead a huge red mark from kissing the floor. Or better say making out with the floor. That"s how hard I hit it.

"Are you okay?" Aiden said trying to don"t laugh while he helped me to get up. Why I have this thing for making myself look like a fool in front of my crush. The only one and only Ryder Quinn, the clumsiest person alive, breaks the record of making herself a completely fool the whole time.

I tried to hide my face behind my hair, but it was hopeless since, well my hair was stuck in the most weird ways in every possible angles. So no. I didn"t hide myself. My mom on the other side hadn"t close her mouth yet from the shock of me falling down the stairs like a ball.

"I"m leaving you two alone." She said leaving awhile muttering something that sounded like "She is never going to get e boyfriend in her life." Trying to don"t blush more at my mom"s muttering, I turned my eyes to Aiden who had stopped laughing and was smiling at me. Please don"t leave me!

As I saw my mom leaving I felt like dying for the hundredth time. Looks like life doesn"t want to stay around me anymore. And now seeing Aiden smiling and looking gorgeous and all while I looked like came from the movie the Beauty and the Beast. Guess who is the Beast. I mean seriously?

"Hi!" I said with a shaky voice.

"Hi!"

Question: How can a girl like me resisted the sweetest smile in world, while it comes from your crush who is blushing lightly.

Answer: She can"t. I was screaming internally. How can a guy so cute exist. Okay I take it back. How can a guy so cute like him talk to me? The most clumsiest girl existing, to don"t forget the fact that I have a specialty to make everything awkward.

I"m like:

I came.

I saw.

I made it awkward.

Is this normal? Because I"m sure it isn"t.

"I came... To ask you if you had change your mind... About the concert..." Oh dear God! Why is he so cute?

"What concert?" And as I said those words his eyes filled in panic and then in sadness. Now I wanted to kill myself... But sue me if you want, but I was so concentrated on his handsome face to think about anything. My mind stopped working so yeah... "Oh the concert? That concert. Of course you are talking about that concert, because there isn"t other concert. So yeah... The concert..." Mumbling mode - on. My voice faded away at the last sentence while my cheeks burned in shame.

"Yeah the concert." Aiden said looking at me weirdly but with a smile in his lips. "It is this evening. You will come right?" Why is he so cute? He looked like a freaking hot stuff blushing, and I looked like a came from the movie... I don"t know... Jurasic Park. Like a T-Rex had followed me the whole day.

This is the time I was supposed to say yes but as I opened my mouth to answer my voice left me and I choked in air. Badly... My eyes watered and now my whole face was red from having breathing problems. Can someone come and kill me?

"Ryder are you okay?" Aiden said looking at me with wide eyes and worried eyes. Clearly not knowing what the freaking heaven to do. Honestly I forgot how to breath let alone to think of something that would make me stop choking my lungs out.

After looking around desperately, trying to figure out what to do, it looked like he found his way to the kitchen. Placing his hand on my lower back, he lead me to it and as soon as we were in the there, he ran to the sink to fill a glass with water. In his way doing that he managed to throw some pans in the floor along with some spoons and forks and braking a glass and a plate.

"Here!" He gave me the glass. I took it in my hand and drank it like my life depended on it. Maybe it did. Aiden"s eyes glued at me worriedly till I drank the last gulp left. After that I placed the glass awkwardly on the table and while blushing furiously I gave him a weak smile. "Are you okay?"

He asked again and this time he came closer to me looking me straight in the eyes. And me being me, from the closeness felt like fainting, but luckily, or not, I don"t know, my legs turned to jelly as I was ready to fall in the floor. To cover it up I just sat on the chair next to the table and grinned at him in the stupidest way possible. Like I was trying to be normal but failed epically. I didn"t know how to be normal most of the time let alone now in front of him.

"I"m fine. I mean I wasn"t fine then but I am fine now. So I"m fine. Thank you." An awkward and weird cough came from my throat in the end as I just grinned at him again. Looked like I had forgot how to smile.

"So about the concert?" Aiden asked and I was praying to God to not choke again. Please! Just no more awkward situations. "If you have change your mind it"s not a problem I don"t mind it."

"Yeah I will come." I whispered so low I wasn"t sure even if I heard it let alone he.

"What?" Aiden asked for me to repeat it. And I repeat it but again with a very low voice. Oh my God I am turning mute!!! "What?" He asked again and this time for some weird reasons, or such a thing...

"I WILL COME!!!" I screamed it on the top of my lungs, scaring the poop out of Aiden making him fall on his ass while taking a chair with him in his way down to the floor. Oh my God kill me! Take me! "I"m sorry! Oh God I"m stupid! Why the hell did I scream? Are you okay? Of course your not. You fell on the floor. Because I freaking screamed..." My mumbling cut short by Aiden"s laughter.

He was still on the floor. His eyes were shut close as he was laughing loudly at I"m not sure what. I stared him like he went crazy. I had not a freaking idea that falling on your ass can damage your head. Oh God I made him crazy!

"You are something for sure!" He said between laughs while I blushed at his words. I will celebrate the day when I won"t blush anymore... Every year!

"I"m sorry!"

"Make me a favour Ryder..." Aiden said getting up from the floor slowly and placing the chair up in it"s place. This is it. He will say to me to stay away from him. Bye bye my golden chance. It was too good to be true. "Never change."

I looked at him with surprised eyes. Well it was for sure that I didn"t expect those words from him.

Aiden smiled at my surprised face and we stayed like that staring at each other for a few moments and I had no idea what was happening. I even forgot what to think. Maybe my mind died. What if I"m in coma? Oh God! "Anyway..." Aiden cleared his throat and looked away from me blushing lightly. "I will pick you up at eight then. Okay bye!" And puff gone. He disappeared.

What the...

"Oh my God!" A scream came from behind me making me jump in the air as both of my parents rushed or better say ran to me. The scream of course came from my mom, because it would be very weird if it came from my dad. "I have no idea how you are going to get a boyfriend. You have no idea how to act around the guy. You are so lucky he is still around you. I will never forgive you if I die without seeing my grandchildren." My mom mumbled while walking in front of me not being able to stay in place for two seconds.

As for my dad... He was just nodding with serious eyes at my mom"s fast words and from his look I knew for sure he had no idea what was she talking about.

"I mean he is hot and just perfect, why do you talk to him like that? Don"t you like him? What you don"t like at him?" My mom was freaking out. She always had this fear that I will be single my whole life because I acted... well weird around boys and I was turning eighteen and I never had a boyfriend in my life so she kind of had the right to worry about me.

"I have a crush on him..." I blushed as my mom looked at me with widen eyes and my dad looked... Serious? "That"s why I act so weird around him."

"OH MY GOD SHE WON"T DIE SINGLE!!!" Guess from who I took all the weirdness? Yes my mom people. "What the hell are you doing still here looking at me like a fool. Go upstairs and go get dressed for that concert s**t thing. You have just ten hours to get ready. Oh my God! Hurry up or you will be late! GET UP!!!" She shouted the last sentence as I was looking at her as she was growing a second head.

I introduce to you: My mother!

***

"Come here NOW Ryder Elisabeth Quin." Admit it. My full name is cool. I mean Elisabeth Quinn. It"s like Quinn Elisabeth... But right now all I could think about was to run away as far away as possible from my mother who was trying to make me look "stunning". Her words not mine.

She wanted to put make up all over my face including mascara, lipstick, eyeliner, lip liner and the whole other s**t like that. And I had no idea what was the half of these things. Wanna take a small advice? Never tell your mother you have a crush on a boy. No matter what kind of mom do you have. No matter what happens NEVER TELL YOUR MOTHER YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON SOMEONE!!! It never ends well for you.

"Mom no!" I screamed as I ran down the stairs and like always falling on the last steps. But there was no time even to curse, as I heard my moms heavy footsteps behind me. "No!!!"

"It"s just make up!" She screamed behind me. My eyes landed on the bathroom"s door and I grinned at that sight. I have never been so happy looking a bathroom. As fast as I could I entered in it and locked the door breathing heavily.

I have been in my room for nine hours, trying to find the perfect outfit for a concert and according to my mom it would be a pink dress. I mean seriously? I"m going to a Fall Out Boy concert. It"s a rock band. Imagine how weird it would be if I would show up a in a pink dress. So I argued with her for three hours and she forced me to take a two hour shower and she even entered in the bathroom while I was still showering, screamed in a high pitch voice like she was seeing Brad Pitt showering and not me, mumbled something that sounded like "I can"t believe this happening. My baby is growing up" and disappeared from the bathroom to come back again after ten minutes.

Then we argued for too long about the hair and here I am now hiding in bathroom so I won"t have make up on my face. She was like crazy. What"s the big deal? Wait a second... I"m going in a concert with Aiden. My crush. My very handsome and cute crush. I"m freaking out. What if I faint again? I will end up in news. God please help me!

"Mom just stop. It"s not a date and I want to do things my way and not yours. If you want me to go out like this with Aiden then I will cancel everything."

A shocked gasp came from my mom and I rolled my eyes. "You wouldn"t dare!" sometimes I wonder who is the mother and who the daughter. Because sometimes I really don"t know, but I"m not complaining. I love my mom. After a few minutes of thinking, because I was sure she was thinking, I heard a light sigh. "Okay. Just don"t mess up everything. He looks like a nice boy."

I can"t promise anything for that my dear mom, but I didn"t say that at loud. Besides, I really wanted Aiden to like me. Even though I didn"t know what I would do if he would like me, I still was hoping for that to happen. Now I wasn"t one of those girls who likes a boy and daydream about being married with him and having kids. No. I just wanted for once a guy to like me. I wanted Aiden to like me because I really like him. He was nice and polite and cute... And I was really hoping for him to feel something for me.

Now I wasn"t going to do the same mistake again and forget about Midnight. I know I"m a bad friend sometimes but not this time. When I woke up in the morning I saw a small paper on my pillow with "See you on Monday." written in it. So I assumed that he would be dead tired to see me during the weekend. And I don"t blame him. After all he couldn"t show up every single night in my room. He has a life as well.

I looked at myself in the mirror. My hair was pulled up in a high pony tail, letting me with no way of hiding myself behind it. The black shirt with the Fall Out Boy stamp on it, fitted perfectly on me. I was wearing a black leather jacket and black trousers. It was a very dark look but I liked it. I never felt good in white clothes anyway.

My face was red from the blushing and probably from the run I just did. And when I heard a knock on the front door, my heart stopped. My eyes were still glued to my reflection as I looked how my cheeks were turning into darker shades of red.

"Ryder he is here!" my mom shouted in a high pitch voice sounding again like Brat Pitt came to visit her and not like it was Aiden on the front door.

My hand shook as I grabbed the handle of the door and opened it. I had this half smile and half grin on my face, since I usually forget to make the difference between smiling, laughing, grinning and smirking or whatever. What? I get too nervous. What the hell is he doing to me? And he doesn"t even have any idea that he is actually doing something to me.

"Hi!" I said blushing lightly. Aiden smiled back at me.

"Hi!" He answered and there was a comfortable silence between us. Well it would be comfortable if it wasn"t for my mom who was looking me and then to Aiden and then back to me like we were her favourite characters from her favourite TV show.

So before she had the chance to say or do something I walked out of the house with Aiden following me. "Goodbye!" My mom shouted to me so loudly the whole neighbourhood heard her. I wanted to bury myself alive. Sometimes I wonder if she does this on purpose or not. Because it looks like that to me.

We got in the car and Aiden drove away to where the concert was. "Are you ready for some fun Ryder?" Aiden asked me and I looked at him taken back. I was going to be with Aiden the whole night, because these concerts doesn"t end till after midnight.

"I think so..." I muttered unsurely.

"Loosen up Ryder. We will have fun... It"s a promise."
