Chereads / BLACK CARPET / Chapter 3 - 4

Chapter 3 - 4

So it was Wednesday, I had introduced Kelly to my mum and she really like her. I drove my self to school in my new car which was a ford and I was painted black. As I got to school I went for gym class which was tiring but fun cause I came second in a race which the coach had organized to see this school running team and practically I knew I was in. As I picked my bag to hit the shower, I bump into James.

"Hey, I didn't know you were that good"

"Were you watching?"

"Yeah, I was actually waiting for my babe"

"Wait who"

"Gabriella, the blond girl over there at the other side, sitting in between two other girls"

"I take a good look at who he was referring to"

"So you don't know her"

"Na, have you forgotten I'm new here"

"Oh yeah, I forgot. Let me introduce you to her"

"No,no,no, you don't need to do that"

"Okay then, so I'll see you later"

"Of course, sure"

I head for the showers a did my skin care routine as fast as I could not to be late for my next class. As I got to class just in time it this class was my fashion design class and guess who I saw, Gabriella, she looks like the almighty queen Elizabeth but with a big butt and boobs which shaded over the girls beside her. I picked my pen and did I some sketches for my portfolio which was meant to be ready by the end the term which is pretty annoying considering the fact that inspiration doesn't come like a big wave of ocean water.

It was finally break I took my lunch and at down with Kelly on a table which was practically in the middle of the whole hall we have lunch in. Not too long before queen Elizabeth came right at us chewing gum, wearing a blue crop top with ripped jeans and on black heel boots.

"Hi, I'm Gabriella"

"Hi" we both reply

"Umm, your in my fashion class, yeah I saw you but I didn't have time to talk to you because like I have been the best in this class because I have style and I isn't easy, even the tiniest irrelevant people you don't know can be a distraction and get you off track of your inspirations.

"Whoa, don't you think you were too shady over there" Kelly says

"Yup, I saw you with James on the track after practice and what did you think you were doing, trying to flirt with him,you have to respect people's relationship"

"I wasn't doing anything, I bumped into him and he tried to introduce me to you since I am new but I didn't and for your shady attitude you can go and rot with it in hell where it will be more appreciated"

"Well, I'm sorry, so now since we've cleared thing up it's time for the question"

"What question?"

"Will you join my sorority?"

"Nope!!!"

"Ughh, I don't even know why I wasted my time, your just like all the other ugly girls in this school"

"Wait, what did you just say"

"Your just like the...."

"I heard you the first time, but don't mess with the wrong person, okay, so get out of my sight" I say stating it clearing that I have boundaries she shouldn't cross. She walks out with a very funny step like as if her waist has been disconnected. Kelly and I both laugh as she walks away.

"Okay so there is a dance coming up this Friday night and there is this competition of the best dressed who would be crowned queen and king dressed. I know it sounds cheesy but I want you to do it"

"Okay, why?"

"Well Gabriella has always won every term and it's very annoying because she gets the best lunch table and she becomes like part of the administration of the school, so it's better if someone took it from her."

"And why can't you do it"

"I can't"

"Why!"

"Well, I'm not good with older people and teachers"

"Ohh, alright I'll do it"

"Yes, thanks, I love you so much"

"So where do we start?"

So we head down to the principals secretary who has the form and I filled it out to participate. As we were done I picked up my phone and checked out some styles I obviously want to buy and with the sense of a designer, I can practically style myself and Kelly. I need to go with something that no one would be expecting.

As I got home I got out of the clothes I wore to school, got into the shower. I quickly put on a blue top that has the print of Mickey Mouse, a ripped jeans and a black wedge and the I picked up my phone and called my mum.

"Hi mum"

"Sweetie, how are you?"

"Fine, mum"

"So is everything alright?"

"Yeah, but I'm going to pick up Kelly so we can go shopping"

"Okay, so what do you need"

"Well, I just wanted to confirm if you have sent my allowance for this month"

"Ohh, no, I forgot, let me do that now"

"Okay, thanks mum"

"Don't use it all, okay"

"Okay, mum, oh also don't forget to say hi to Mr.Richard for me"

"How do you know his name"

"Don't worry, bye"

I entered the car and drove to Kelly's house. For the first time, I saw Kelly's house and it was huge, like twice the size of mine,well what do you expect from a man who has 9 children living with him and his wife. I called Kelly to inform her that I was ready and was waiting outside for her to come out but she told me to come in.

I knock on the door and a dark man in complexion opens the door

"Kilode"

"Huh, sorry, what did you say"

"Honey" another woman from behind says as she approach us guessing she was his wife but I wondered were they Kelly's parents. The man walks away leaving me to talk to the woman.

"I think your one of Kelly's friends right?"

"Yes, can I come in"

"Oh yes she is in her room but her parents are in the dining room"

"Thank you, I'll go see her parents"

I leave as she points to the direction of the room. On the way I meet with Kelly as she was talking to her parents.

"Oh your here, so this are my parents, mom and dad this is Lexi"

I greet both of them and Kelly and I head out. I drive both of us to the mall, we tested so many clothes on ourselves. Kelly found the perfect dress under the third change of clothes but as for me I didn't know what would suit me to win the competition of best dressed until then the store finally brought out a white gown.

It was perfect and who could resist a girl in a white gown, so immediately I picked it up and checked it out and it was a perfect fit.
