Chapter Six

“What do you mean he just ignored you?’’ Stella was already making herself at home, but in my room of course. She was throwing all my clothes on my bed, trying to find me the perfect outfit for tonight.
“Just like I said, he acted like he didn’t know me, but I know those eyes from anywhere. Plus, he said my nickname. I just don’t get why he would ignore me, especially after what he did to me.” I started to fold the clothes she was tossing all over, trying to get my mind off that day when he left me without even saying good bye.
“Do you only own black and red? He’s an asshole if he’s just going to pretend, but hey this outfit is sure going to get his attention. I bet then he’ll remember.” Stella picked out my mini black leather skirt, a laced bralette, and my red leather jacket.
“Stella that’s a bra! I am not wearing this out to a bar. I’m going to be the only one dressed up, while everyone else is in jeans and t-shirts.” I shook my head and grabbed the outfit, ready to throw it back in my closet. Stella was quick though and snatched it out of my hands.
“Obviously I know it’s a bra, but it goes great with this outfit. This isn’t some dive bar, but one of the most popular night clubs around here. Every girl is going to be dressed up, including myself.” She shoved the clothes in my hand and pushed me towards the bathroom.
“Fine, I’ll wear what you pick this one time, but one time only Stella. Plus I get to pick my shoes.” I shut the door quick, but I heard her saying through the door no way in hell. I would have picked my Steve Marten boots, but I knew she wouldn’t let me leave the house in them.
When I finally get out of the bathroom. Stella is dressed like a Barbie doll and she can definitely pull the look off. She decided on a pink mini dress, white leather jacket, and white pumps. In her hands she was holding her black Loubaton heels that are pretty high. I might not be that much into fashion, but I knew they were worth more than I own. “Stella, there is no way I can wear those. What happens if I ruin them? Do you know how long it would take me to pay you back.”
“Honestly, don’t worry about it. These are last season’s and you know my mom and her fashion, I get a new pair every year. I literally got four more in my closet, I want you to have these.” Stella pushed the shoes in my hands, but I couldn’t stop my head from shaking no. Between Delilah getting me the new car and Stella giving me something so expensive, I felt guilty accepting them all.
“Stella, this is too much. I feel guilty even living here for free.” I pushed the shoes back in her hands. Stella is one person that can never take the word no. She bends down and takes my foot, slipping them in the heels
“Listen here Maddy, don’t feel guilty. You are like my sister and my parents want us to both focus on school. Now, you are going to take these shoes and rock this outfit. You are going to show Jude you are not this shy clumsy girl, but a hot bad ass. He is going to regret pretending like he doesn’t know who you are.” She slaps me in the ass and nods her head to the door. “Oh wait, here.” She puts red lipstick on my lips. I checked it in the mirror barely recognizing myself, but I’m really liking my new look.
“Ok let’s do this.” Even though I was showing Stella I was confident, I was anything but. I was a nervous wreck thinking about Jude ignoring me again and dealing with Knox. Knox was getting a little bit more bolder showing his affection to me in front of other people. I knew I had to talk to Stella soon about it, but tonight wasn’t the night. She was so excited about me coming out with her tonight, I didn’t want to ruin her time. I just prayed when she did find out, she would forgive me for keeping it a secret from her.

When our ride dropped us off at the bar, Glow, there was a line wrapped around the building. “Stell, it’s ten now, by the time we get through this line it’s going to be midnight. Let’s just head now to a local dive, they will have cheaper drinks there anyways.”
“You’re not wasting that outfit at a dive bar with old biker men. Anyways, you remember Knox’s geeky friend from high school, Ezra Banks. Well supposedly he’s the bouncer here and can get us in. Which is weird, I don’t why they would let him be a bouncer he was always so scrawny.”
I remembered who she was talking about and no way he was going to let us in underage. Knowing Knox, he probably just said that to get Stella off his back. “There is no way he’s going to let us in and no way I am getting my fake ID confiscated. You know it took me forever to find someone to make one look this real.” I turned to head back to where we got dropped off hoping our ride could come back, but Stella grabbed me by the wrist and started dragging me back to the club.
“Ezra isn’t going to take our ID’s off us. Plus I saw the text between him and Knox. We’re all good, so stop worrying and
