I did my daily care routine then got dressed listening to music singing and dancing around, holding my hair brush as a microphone, I was so deep into the song that I didn't even notice someone standing there
-this girl is on fire! I shouted along the music playing on my phone, this girl is on fire, I lowered my voice, she's walking on fire. I hit the high note, this girl is on fire, I was still on my bra and tights, I was about to put it on opened my eyes to be startled by my mom standing there, my blood froze and covered myself with the dress as a reflex and turned the music off- mom! I yelled
-damn you have a powerful voice! She exclaimed, very nice and such a firm body. She added contemplating me
-mom! Do you mind, I'm changing!
-you must have inherited that from your aunt, very nicely proportional figure, just what any boy wants. She smirked
-you know what I want mom? I asked, I want my dear mother to give me some privacy and not sneak in on me while I change, how does that sound?
-well your dear mom was worried about her precious daughter, mommy's instincts never fail and I'm pretty sure it has something to do with Michael
OH my god she was eavesdropping on my call again, I bluntly stared at her I hated when she does that
-I will let you go to that party of yours under one condition. She proceeded pointing out one finger, no drinking and no drugs, and take a good care of your friend, she seems really heart broken, you both need a night out.
I was going through so many emotions that exact moment, anger because she was spying on me again, surprise of how understanding she was, frustration of everything else that was going on, I just froze in silence, I could tell she was getting worried as color drained of her face
I did my best to not crack, control my emotions and redeemed myself
-I'm sorry mom I'm just not completely awake, let me refresh myself and I'll give you all the answers you need. I explained
She finally gave in and left unsatisfied
Lost in my thoughts, I got dressed and fixed my hair in the mirror, I felt so put together, maybe that will shift my mood. I hoped
I posed, took several pictures and uploaded one of them in my Instagram story, then brushed negative thoughts off my head and put a big smile on my face, rushed down the stairs finding my mom benched down putting her shoes on
-this girl is on fire. I shouted jumping on her back pressing on her lower back almost knocking her down, she pressed her hand on the wall to hold her balance and stared back at me confused, I let go of her and started dancing around singing very loudly
-oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, everybody stands when she goes by cause they can see the flame that's in her eyes, watch her when she's lightning up the night. I softened my pitch, nobody knows that she's a lonely girl and it's a lonely world, but she's gonna let it burn baby burn baby! I shouted again this girl is on fireeeeeeee. I started laughing seing her reaction
-where did all this energy come from? that's not how I left you like five minutes ago. She giggled
I jumped on her shoulders out of nowhere and screamed in her ears - this girl is on fire! I almost knocked her down again, she quickly had the reflex to hold my waist so I won't fall, I then narrowed my voice down - this girl is on fire. Then looked at her deep in the eyes - can we go now?. I giggled and waved her keys in her face - and I'm driving. I added freeing myself from her embrace and ran away giggling
-how did you!. What's even the point. She gave in, closed the house door and followed me
-come on! I rushed her
-you're a rare piece of work you know that. She chuckled
-well thanks, Shakespeare, you made me, now buckle up
------------~~~~~~~°°°°°°°°~~~~~----------
I parked at the high school's drive way, got out of the car, handed my mom's car keys and bent in the back to take my backpack and my scarf when I suddenly felr someone hitting me from the back
-you.... Look.... Hot. Screamed Britney
That ass though!
I giggled put my scarf on my neck and pulled her into a hug I could feel her shaking
-well so do you. I said pulling away and looking her up and down
-So! She exclaimed enthusiastically did she say yes? And don't you dare lie to me she is right there I can ask her. She said waving at her
-I didn't even have to ask her. I chuckled, she was eavesdropping on our conversation again
She started laughing hysterically - typical Nicole, oh my god I can't breathe, your mother is a piece of work
-this is the second--before I finished my sentence she pushed me to the side and went to say hi to her "is she on drugs or something?" suddenly I felt a vibration in my jackets pocket, I unzipped it, took it out, saw it was Samantha, waved my hair to the side and answered
-hello.
-hey Alex, how are you doing?
-I'm good how are you?
-good are you here yet?
-yeah I just pulled in, what's up?. I took out my bag from the back seat and closed the door, as soon as I closed the door, Britney's voice cleared up as she was yelling enthusiastically
-dear god! is that Britney in the background?
-ahuh. I affirmed checking if I had everything in my bag, she's been acting so weird this morning like she's on drugs or something, did Mason pull something on her again, because if he did he will not get out of this without punishment. I threatened
-I didn't do anything! . Whined Mason in the background
-I heard the group laughing amongst them Brandon's voice, I blushed intentionally
-sorry forgot to tell that you were on speaker, don't worry no one drugged her -
Her blood runs on drugs naturally. Interrupted Jade and they all started laughing
-Mason! I'm onto you! When suddenly joined me Brit startling me - who are you talking to? She snapped my phone off my hands
-Sam quit hitting on my girl, she's taken you hear me!
I giggled then turned to say goodbye to my mother
-is she high? She asked worried
I giggled and leaned into a hug
-no she's just being Britney.
-alright honey. She said glancing to her watch, have fun at your party and take good care of Brit and call me if you need anything. She kissed my forehead then took off
-your mom is so sweet, how fun is it to have a psychologist as a mother. Said brit as I approached her, I didn't reply because as understanding my mom can be, we sure have our ups and downs, and it took a lot of work to reach that level of trust and complicity, I noticed that she was still in the line with the group she put them on speaker.
-hey Alexa. Reasoned Sam's voice on the speaker, brit handed me my phone and held my hand pushing me in
-yeah. I replied, hey slow down what has gotten into you today?!
- I haven't slept all night and I'm on two cups of double expresso give me a break would ya. She explained
I rolled my eyes - yeah Sam I'm listening
-who are you going with to prom? did Michael ask you yet?
I paused to figure out the source of her question "Brandon must be behind this" I giggled then replied - whom ever requested you to ask me, tell him to wait in the line, I'm not an easy target
They all started laughing and heard the guys teasing him in the background
-very funny shortcake. He shrugged
-well I'm going to be late for class catch you guys later okay
-alright bye. they said in unison
I hang up
-----------~~~~~~°°°°°°°°~~~~~~---------
-well how about this. Said brit excitedly
The entire group gathered at lunch break, we were a total of 10 to 15 people where we joined three tables to fit us all
-we all are going to be wearing blue dresses and our partners will be wearing white tuxedos, black shoes, black ties and a blue flower. Proceed brit as we were discussing prom ideas
I was completely disconnected as my phone didn't stop buzzing, endless messages from Michael saying he missed me and he had no idea why I was ignoring him, my heart ached, I felt betrayed I felt... Venerable, I've never felt this way before, I felt Brandon's eyes fixated at me the entire time at lunch break, I had to get out I needed space... To think,
I stood up leaving everything behind and busted out running
-Alexa! Gasped Britney....
