Chapter eight - Girls vs boys

Jayden's POV:

Things between Ally and me are not great. We don't talk much. Mom tried to change her attitude towards my sister, but it didn't work. What happened to her was twelve years ago. She should forget about this. My sister is good. There is nothing wrong with her. The problems were in the past. I don't know why she is obsessed with this. Dad is on my side, but it doesn't matter. Mom is the one taking care of everything. Whatever Ally wants, she gets it. You don't need to ask about me. Mom tried to make me my favorite food. I appreciate it, but this doesn't mean I will forgive her. At least she stopped making me babysit my sister. She is old enough to take care of herself. I don't know what else I have to do. My friends aren't on my side, either. That's why Bailey and Ally are like sisters. They are in the so-called girl's team. The boys and I are on the other one. It's not like this is official. Only I call it like that. No matter what I do, I won't replace my friend. She has a better bond with my sister. The good news is that I don't care. One of us has to change, and that won't be me. I like myself the way I am. One day, this will be over. We probably have to grow up first. This applies to my sister. Unlike her, I act my age. I hope that we won't have the same conversation all the time.

I have classes every day. This keeps me away from home. On the breaks, I'm on my phone. A picture of a guy popped up. He was with Kali James. If that is her boyfriend, I feel sorry for her. Why do celebrities always choose the wrong guys? It's like a thing in Hollywood. Hopefully, it's not contagious. I have nothing against the guy, but he looks like a clout chaser. On his i********:, he has more pictures with her than she does on hers. Let's be honest. He is famous only because of her.

I have a class now. We are revising some topics. I opened up my phone. I saw a notification. Yesterday, I commented "clout chaser" on one picture with Kali. I guess he saw that. The response was at least I have a girlfriend. I don't know why he got offended. I have seen people commenting the same. My account is private, so he can't come at me. After the class, I walked out with Bailey. The boys went somewhere else. She wanted us to talk before the next class. It's not like I have something else to do.

- Do you want to tell me something? - I asked

- What was that comment? - Bailey asked

- What comment?

- Under the picture from Kali's boyfriend.

- So you saw it?

- I was next to you in class. Will you tell me?

- I said the truth. Many other people have commented the same before me.

- But he replied to you.

- So? At least I'm not walking after girls for pictures.

- Why do you hate him?

- Hold on. I never said that. Just because I wrote something doesn't mean I hate him.

- Are you sure?

- Yes. It's a common mistake in Hollywood to date the wrong person.

- What? Who said that?

- Don't you watch exclusive news? Celebrities make and break up all the time. It's like a virus. - I said, and she laughed

- I think you need a trip to LA.

- No, thank you. I don't want to catch the famous sickness.

- All I will tell you is not to mess with this guy. He has no idea who you are, but he can end you.

- How? He will tell me that he has a girlfriend and I don't.

- Be careful. I don't trust this guy.

- You don't like him, do you?

- I watched one of his livestreams. He kept talking about his relationship as if this was the way for him to gain fame.

- I think he is using the girl. Look at his photos compared to hers.

- Are you stalking Kali?

- What? Why would I do that?

- What happened at the concert? I think you didn't tell the boys everything.

- I did. When it ended, Ally and I walked home.

- Did you stay there for the rest of the night?

- No, I went out. Before you ask, I was alone.

- You talked with her, didn't you?

- With?

- Kali. You can tell me. I won't talk with the boys. I promise.

- I have nothing to tell you. It's your choice if you want to believe me.

- Stay away from her boyfriend. He is not worth it.

Bailey and I kept talking. I don't know why she cares if I will mess with this guy. I know she cares about me, but I'll be fine. It's not like we'll ever meet. He has no idea where I'm from. That is if he doesn't decide to dig in. I won't mess with him. I did what I wanted to do. The effect was immediate. Later, I went to the rest of my classes for the day. I should work on my project today. I have started it, but I still have a lot of work to do.

- Hello, students. I hope you have started your business products. I would like to hear some ideas. Who will start?

- I have an idea. - Bailey said

- What is it?

- Many people use makeup nowadays. The market is filled with them. On the other hand, when a new brand comes, many people want to try it. I will give them something they have never seen before. I want my products to be used not only for one purpose.

- Can you explain a little bit?

- For example. I want liquid lipstick to be used like a blush.

- I see.

- What is the difference between regular lipstick and this? Except that it's not a liquid. - I asked

- I can do it with one as well. No limits.

- I like the idea. I don't know much about makeup, but I don't think such products exist.

- Hear me out. It will be a hit.

- Do you plan to do this in real life? - Andrew asked

- Yes, why not? It will be something new.

- Bailey, it's only a project.

- I'm not doing it only for that. This will be my business. - she said, and he laughed

- Hey, she might have success. You never know. - I said

- Jayden, it's ridiculous. - Tom said

- Tom, do you have an idea? Please share it with us. - the teacher said

- Yes, sure.

Whose idea is silly now? Tom said something about men's cologne. I'm sure he invented this now. He has no idea. I should say that Bailey's one is interesting. I don't understand makeup. Using the same product for different parts of your face will be good. After the last class, she came home with me. I made her explain the whole concept to me. She was very excited. I can see her as a CEO one day. You never know.

- I understand, but won't those be more expensive? Also, how can you make an eyeliner and a brow pencil the same product?

- Have you seen two-sided markers?

- Yes, in the bookstores.

- Here is the same. Not everyone uses liquid eyeliner.

- Is everything liquid in makeup?

- It could be.

- I'm happy to be a boy.

- Girls vs boys. It's the ultimate makeup battle.

- I have seen boys with makeup. For some reason, they are famous.

- It's called industry.

- I'm glad you found something that makes you happy.

- Let's say that I have been thinking about this for the past year.

- That's great. How will you make the products?

- First, I might open a small business. I will resell products with a bit of touch from me.

- It's good that you have a plan.

- If that works, I will use all my money for the idea.

- Yeah, sure.

- Are you listening to me?

- That's great.

- Are you watching Kali's live stream? I thought you weren't interested.

- I'm not. She is talking nonsense.

- The girl is talking with a fan.

- I'll click out.

- No! I want to watch it.

- You have a phone.

- Please.

- Fine. I will work on my project later.

- Do you have an idea?

- I'll do products for hair. I want them to be customizable.

- That's great. Many people use them, especially hairstylists.

- It's for the project. I don't know what my real business will be.

- If mine is successful, you can work for me.

- Thanks, but I don't want to be your experimental bunny.

- You won't. I promise.

Bailey and I kept watching the stream. I switched to my iPad. On my phone, I commented nonsense. I think she saw that. Bailey looked at me, but I didn't say anything. It's better if she doesn't know what I'm thinking about. I left her and went to the bathroom. Kali is talking with little girls. She should hang out with people her age. In the next minute, that was me. I don't know how I got picked out, but I will use the chance.

- Hello. I read your comment. - Kali said

- I was hoping for that.

- Really?

- Do you even know me?

- Yes. You were the first person who didn't want a picture with me.

- And I still don't want one.

- How are you?

- I have been better.

- Can I do something to help you?

- You can answer my questions.

- Sure. What do you have for me?

- Does your boyfriend get offended easily?

- No, why?

- I commented something, and he answered only me. Many people did the same days ago.

- He is not reading every single comment.

- Are you sure? He cares about his followers a lot. You are the key to that.

- What do you mean?

- Exactly what you are thinking about. He posts more pictures of you two.

- Because I want to keep my account professional. I have posted stories.

- Yes, that expires after a day.

- What do you want to say?

- To ask. Do you love your boyfriend?

- What? Of course, I do.

- Are you sure about that? When was the last time you went out with him?

- Three days ago. It's not like you need to know.

- Yes, I saw the instant pictures. Your boyfriend can't keep anything private.

- I let him do it.

- Yes, sure. Open your eyes. He is using you.

- That is not true. You don't know anything.

- I don't need to. It's obvious.

- Thank you for the chat. Let's see who will be next. - she said, and I closed the stream

- Why the heck did you do that? - Bailey asked, yelling

- Why not? She is annoying.

- The girl didn't do anything to you.

- So? It was fun. Did you see her?

- Jayden, it's not funny. You hurt her.

- Aww, I'm sorry.

- You are impossible.

- Maybe, but I don't care.

I don't know why Bailey cares about that. I didn't say this to her. Also, this was my honest opinion. Kali's boyfriend is a user. The fault that she can't see it is not mine. When Ally came home, she was mad at me as well. I had to explain to my mom what happened. She wasn't happy to hear it but didn't say anything. I can talk whatever I want. No one can tell me anything. People can express their opinions freely. Kali might be mad, but who cares? This is the only reason I went to her livestream. My job is done. I don't want to see her again. I hope that she won't make concerts here.
