A 'Typical' Highschool Story, LaptopFace [ebooks online reader TXT] 📗

/> "Lu? is that you over there? You haven't changed a bit!" He said excitedly. Gee thanks, I thought when I rembered how fat and ugly I was when I was a child. I just smiled and nodded.
He came over to the wobbly table where SJ and I sat every time we came to the mall. SJ was still speechless at this point which was unlike her because she usually never shut up!
"So, what are you doing here?" I asked.
"Im actually here on an internship to get some experience and skills to make my application forms a bit more interesting so Harvard will take me." I realised how much that I had missed Matt then and remembered how loyal he was in sticking with his dreams.
"And now that we are reunited, are you still up for the life plan?" He asked, smiling with his perfect teeth which made my knees weak.
"Most definitly." I replied blushing, "We need to hang out sometime and....."

SJ seemed to have found her voice again because she cut me off.
"Basically, Matt, Lucy wants to invite you to a party tomorrow night. Everyones going to be there so you can meet some people our age and 'catch up' with Lucy." She winked at me, with a big grin on her face.

I was ready to die of embarrassment, he won't go to a party with me! He just told me I haven't changed since I was twelve! Plus I didn't want to go to the party in the first place! It was going to be a night of sitting in a corner beside SJ and her gross boyfriend making out while trying to make smalltalk with anyone who walked past me. I shot daggers at SJ from across the table.

"Erm, sounds like fun, I have tomorrow off. Here's my number, text me the details. Oh and Lu?" I looked up slowly with a bright red face.
"Nice to see you again."
And with that he turned around and left, leaving me with an over excited SJ who clearly wanted me to hook up with my childhood best friend at some bitches party. I was going to have an eventful weekend...and for once, I couldn't wait!

Hey guys, this was quite a short chapter but I wanted to know if you were interested in 'the other man' or not so feedback would be good please! :)
Chapter 4

SJ's Point of View
I got up early Saturday morning to go for a jog in the neighbourhood as I did every Saturday morning. I phoned Lucy, wondering if she'd come with me but there was no answer. That lazy sod is still in bed no doubt. Ah well, I'll try again later. I laced up my running shoes, put on my ipod and thought about last nights events.

Yes! Finally, the girls gonna get a man! Maybe this will distract her for a while and take the heat off of me and Jay for once. One thing is for sure though, I needed to get her some new clothes to make sure everything would go well.

Lucy did have very nice clothes for casual wear. She LIVES for Abercrombie and Fitch, but I don't think she owns a dress! This party and that guy was the perfect excuse to buy her new stuff, without her feeling guilty about me paying for it.
I was born into a VERY wealthy family because my Dad is a top music producer and he earns a lot. You can imagine why I quickly grew up to be a daddy's girl.

That guy Matt last night was rather dishy, he was that nerdy, mysterious type with locks of curly black hair, but he was also quite tan and had an amazing sense of style himself.
I rang again when I got back from my exhausting two hour jog and still no answer! That's it, I will have to go wake her myself.

I got my mum to drop me off at Lucy's house, it was only down the road but I was not for walking there after that jog. I ran up to her room and there she was still in bed, hair tousled all over the place like she had just been horribly electrecuted and she was mumbling something in her sleep.
I interrupted her hushed mumbling by jumping right on top of her causing her to awake suddenly with a horrified look on her face.

"SJ piss off!"
She was not a morning person.
"Nice to see you too!" I said sarcastically.
"Now get up and get dressed, I have special plans for us today."
"What are they?" Lucy mumbled, still half sleeping.
"We're going shopping! And I'm going to buy you the most fantastic dress to impress, if you know what I mean."

Lucy suddenly sprung up and ran to the bathroom. I heard the dramatic spray of Lucys power shower and thought to myself, "someone's an eager beaver."
It was weird to see her so excited about a guy, but it was also kind of refreshing seeing her so happy and giddy. I was going to do everything I could to preserve this new Lucy and nothing or no one was going to stand in my way.

Chapter 5

Lucys Point of View

We got off the bus in the town centre and walked to a new dress shop. It was called Dragónfly and it was as unique as it's name.
The dresses that shop contained were exceptional! Each one had it's own special feature and there was such a variety!
We were in there three minutes before I recognized the douche behind the counter. Yup you guessed it, Aaron J. Esdale

"What on earth are you doing here!" I asked sparingly, without giving the matter much thought as I felt that he didn't deserve that from me.
"Duh, Im working."

Seriously? It's bad enough that I see him at school and at home but now even when I go out shopping with my friend I can't escape him. No one can take that much Aaron in such a short frame of time.
"Why did you apply for here?"
"Isnt it obvious? I get to watch hot girls try on short, tight dresses and I pick up there numbers before they leave the store.

I should have expected something along the lines of that from him. Afterall he had no self control.
All of a sudden SJ came running over with a worried look on her face.
"Lucy? Please don't hate me but I have to leave, Jay got into a fight with some guy at work and he's in hospital! He just rang me and I have to see him.
I urged every part of me to be angry at her for ditching me yet again but I couldn't, she had a right to leave, she was worried about her boyfriend and wanted to check he's ok.
"Just go, I need a dress for tonight so Im staying here to get one."
"Thanks babe, here take my credit card, it's on me."
And with that she ran out of the store to grab a taxi.

I wondered around the shop, wondering which style of dress I should pick, which shape,which length,which colour. Ugh! I was rubbish at this sort of thing! SJ always helps me shop for formal wear and this was for a special occasion, this was to impress Matt.
I grabbed a few different types of dresses and took them into the changing rooms. The first one that I tried on was a peach flowy kind of dress to the knee and it was kind of sweet.
I came out of the changing room to look at it in the big mirror positioned beside the tills on the only blank wall.
I nearly pissed myself with laughing so hard at the state of me! The colour was all wrong, it made me paler than usual, I mean I was practically translucent! And don't even get me started on the shape! I looked like a pair of curtains that Grannys hung in their bathrooms!
I heard laughter behind me.

"That dress is hot" Aaron said sarcastically.
"Isnt is just" I replied also in a sarcastic fashion. "I think I'll try the yellow one.
I ran back into the changing rooms, took off the horrible peach dress and carefully slid into the bright yellow dress gently, as to not rip the hand-sewn embroidered satin ribbon under the bust line. I once again ventured to the mirror beside the tills.
"Do you have a thing for fruits because you have just went from a peach to a bannana!"
Despite all of my efforts, I could no longer contain my laughter and I erupted in giggles as I looked at my reflection.
"Let me pick something for you."

Pffft. I wonder what sort of dress the biggest man hoe I knew would pick. Probably some short, tight black dress that just screamed slut. But I decided to humor him so I waited in the small, poorly lit changing room.
He came back a moment later with a few dresses which were just as I expected, I tossed them out of the curtain, however among those tarty dresses was a deep green satin dress that was one shoulder and decorated beautifully with jewels around the bust. I put it on, the perfect fit! How he knew my dress size was beyond me, but I couldn't care less at this point, I had the perfect dress to woo Matt!
"So am I going to see this dress or not!" Aaron shouted from outside of the changing room
"Coming now!" I replied enthusiastically.
I slowly pulled the curtain back revealing myself in the green satin dress.

Narrator

Aaron's hazel brown eyes were wide with shock as he couldn't believe that the beautiful woman standing before him was Lucy Moony, Marks weird little sister.
"Zip me up?" Lucy asked as she pulled her long, red hair over one shoulder.
"Erm, yeah sure." Aaron answered and he pulled up the zip trying to calm his shaky hands.
"So, where are you going tonight? I mean it
