Chapter 2 - Chapter Two. Why can't we have coffee instead?

Tiana

Bip! Bip! Bip! Went the alarm at exactly six thirty o'clock. I lazily extended my arm from under the covers and disabled it. I hate mornings on school days. " argh," I groaned slowly getting up cause I know there's no sleeping in today. I got up heading for the bathroom.

Walking across my room I hit my leg on a pile of books that were laying on my floor from last night's study session. Stumbling from the impact, I fell on my butt with a thud from trying to balance and failing. I bet Houston Texas heard that one, I thought to myself.

" Ouch," I groaned getting up while rubbing my ass. More reasons to why I hate school day mornings. I quickly picked up my books and placed them on the study table which I hardly use. I then checked my laptop for any new email, it's a system I picked up over the years hoping to receive one email that never came.

After breaking my heart for the millionth time I went into my tiny bathroom, stripping off my clothes I got into the shower.

It was seven o'clock by the time I was done. I wore my favourite white sweatshirt and my black sweats with white sneakers, I don't know about everyone else but I look fabulous. The clothes were a little baggy but I was comfortable. I let my hair down so I'd hide my face at school properly; I won't tell you why but you'll soon find out I guess.

" Tia!!!" Jess called out her voice being backed up by her car horn. Grabbing my bag pack I ran down stairs then out the door and into the passenger seat of her car. " Hey girl you ready?" Jess asked giving me a once over. I turned my gaze to my clothes then back at her before raising an eyebrow in question. " What?" I asked. Jessica just simply turned her gaze to look outs the windshield at the road in front of us. Tapping on her shoulder I asked again, she cleared her throat before replying. " it's just..... You lost weight but you still keep those baggy jeans and jerseys, sweats, shirts and other things". I could feel the detest in her voice without actually looking at her face I knew she didn't like how I dressed.

" I don't see the problem in that," I said trying to understand what I did wrong by wearing my clothes.

" The problem is your hiding your gorgeousness. Like your sexy an....."

" Oh I get it. You want me to be more like you and Mia?"

" When it comes to dress code yes a little," she turned slightly to look at me then back at the road as she speed the car out of the driveway.

I rolled my eyes, "oh so your embarrassed of me." I felt a little hurt that she doesn't like what am putting on. Like, baggy clothes are my thing.

" What? No tha..."

" Then accept what I am dressed in and all that I am Jess," I said crossing my arms over my chest trying to calm my nerves before I did something stupid like I usually do.

Anger issues, my conscious stated. Oh would you shut it, I replied closing off my own mental remarks.

" I didn't mean it that way Tia. Anyway am sorry". I just kept my mouth shut while focusing on the scenery outside as we got closer to school.

We arrived at in time to see Troy pull up into his parking space. My oh my he was frickin gorgeous, I think I drooled on my self. Though that got shut down quickly once Christina walked up to him and kissed my future husband Infront of me. " Tia will be late you'll have plenty of time to drool over Mr sexy pants at your locker," Jess said while she brutally dragged me inside, I felt like I'd lose an arm.

Before I knew it-it was lunch time. After grabbing our lunch, Jess and I sat down at our usual spot near the back door in the cafeteria that led to the courtyard. Most popular students ate from there, since the weather in Florida is mostly warm so they claimed it. I turned my attention to the window my gaze immediately landing on Troy having his lunch with his cool friends. One day that will be our house he'd be hanging out in enjoying the food I made him and his friends.

" Earth to Tiana,"Jess said while snapping her fingers. I turned my attention to her and saw that Mia had decided to join us today.

We met Mia in the sixth grade after Jess and I got into a fight with Troy cause he called me fat. That was before I knew he was going to be drop dead gorgeous. She literally took him out before we did, seemed like he'd messed with the wrong girl earlier that day. We've hang out with her since but not always cause she's, well, she's Mia.

But I know she likes Jess more than she likes me and Jess prefers me to her.

I smiled at them ," sorry got distracted". Mia rolled her eyes at my statement and I frowned at her actions.

" Tell you what," Mia said seating up straight," there's a party tomorrow night you should come and I promise to help you get his attention". My eyes bugged out at her statement, why would she suddenly want to help me? " Yeah good idea Mia," Jess cut in before I could react and I knew trying to get out of this one would be tough.

They both turned their attention back to me after whispering some deadly ideas to each other.

" Your getting your v-card removed tomorrow night," the both of them said like two evil ghost twins and I cringed, shrunking into my seat feeling the pressure.

" Why can't we just go have coffee instead? "
