Nothing's What It
Seems
Chapter 5
I was exhausted today at school
because we didn't get home from dinner until late last night.
"You're coming over tonight right?" I asked Adrian.
"Yeah. Are we gonna do a sleepover after the party
too?" she asked. "I'm thinking we'll have lots
to talk about so, yes." I said with a smile. We giggled and
started walking down the hallway when I saw Jared. "Hey
Jared!" I said as I walked over to him. "Hey Emily.
What's up?" he asked. "You're coming to the
party tonight right?" I asked. "Will you be
there?" he asked. "Yes." I said with a smile.
"Then I'll definitely be there." he said with a
flirty smile. "It's casual right?" he asked. I
turned around and said, "Adri?" She walked over to us
and said, "Yes. Totally casual." she
paused. "Now I'd love to watch you to flirt some
more, but I really have to get home." she continued as
she turned her head to me. Me and Jared both laughed at her
comment until I said, "Okay, okay. I'll see you tonight
Jared." with a flirty look. He smiled at me and then I
turned around with Adri and drove her home.
"I'm hereeeeee!" I heard Adri scream from the front
door. she came into the kitchen with me and my sister and
said, "Becca! I heard the news. Congratulations!" as
she walked over to give her a hug. Becca turned to me
and asked "Should I ask her yet?" I laughed and
said, "She's having a pretty good day. I think this
would be perfect timing." Becca turned back to Adrian and
said, "Adri, I think of you as a little sister. Would you
like to be one of my bridesmaids?" "Oh my god!
Really?" she asked. "Thats so sweet of you to ask me!
Yes!" she exclaimed. Adri came and sat on the stool next to
me and my sister said, "I was thinking of asking Lauren
too-" "No." I said. "What?" my sister
asked confused. "She totally dumped us." Adrian
explained. "What? Why?" my sister asked confused.
"We have no idea." I said. "Weird. Well anyway,
Adri, do you know anything about this Jared boy?" she asked
with a sly smile on her face. Before Adri could start talking I
interrupted and said "Well, we have a party to get ready for
so we'll have to talk to you later." as I got off the
stool. "Whatever." Becca said sarcastically. As me and
Adri started walking up the stairs she shouted after us and said,
"I'll find out eventually!" "Yeah, yeah!"
I shouted back at her.
"So what are you wearing?" I asked as I jumped on my
bed. "Something hot!" Adrian said. "Well,
that's understood." I paused. "But seriously, show
me." I said. She walked over to her duffle bag and pulled
out a pair of cork wedges, dark denim jeans, and a form-fitting
v-neck that was cropped at the bottom a little.
"Cute." I said. "I'm gonna change."
she said as she walked into my bathroom. I pulled out a pair of
black wedges, a pair of light denim jean shorts, and faded dark
blue crop top and changed into them. "You.look.hot."
Adrian joked as she came out of the bathroom. Nice belly button
ring by the way." she continued. "Thanks." I
said "And how do I look?" she
asked. "Like the girl Ben won't be able to take his
eyes off of." I said. "Good. That's what I'm
going for." she said with a smile. I straightened my hair
pin straight, did a brown smoky eye, put black eyeliner
on both my upper and lower lash line and put mascara on
and I was waiting for Adri to finish getting ready.
"Ready?" She asked. "I've been ready." I
said. "Well then let's go!" she said happily.
Before we walked out of the house Adri asked, "Whose
car are we taking?" "Yours. Your turn to drive me
around" I responded with a smile. I grabbed my house
key and shouted, "Mom, Dad, me and Adri are leaving!
We'll be back later!" "Bye sweetie!" I heard
my mom shout from her office. "Have fun with Jared!"
Becca shouted from the family room. "Shut up Becca!" I
said as I was laughing. We left in Adri's car and drove to
the party.
