"Nicholas!" I heard two people shout. I turned around to get my last glimpse of him for the day, but was saddened when it was just Tia and Kingsley.
"Why'd you guys do me like that?" I said pouting.
They began laughing hysterically.
"Sorry we had to," Tia said, still continuing to laugh.
"I talked to Nicholas after this period and he said he finally talked to you, he sounded really happy and said you were beautiful," said Kingsley.
"Oh my god, really?" I blurted out.
"No, but he said you bumped into him today and it was a pleasure meeting you." Kingsley smiled largely, holding in a laugh, but no need, because Tia let out her own.
"Well that's a start," Tia said.
We all began laughing.
"All we need to do now is help out your dull appearance, get Harper out of the way, and Nic will be all your!" Tia said sarcastically.
Our laughter loudened, my stomach ached, and my head lightened.
I inhaled deeply and let it out.
"Thanks for the laugh," I said.
"Today has been horrible," Tia said.
"As if you know girl," Kingsley shouted.
We all giggled for a few more seconds. We kept chatting for a few more minutes until I saw my mothers car pull up.
"Bye Ti, Bye K!" I shouted as I ran towards my mom’s black 2017 jeep.
"Bye!" They both shouted back. I hopped into the car and we drove off.
A few minutes of silence went by, 1, 2, 3, 4, and then my mom finally said something.
"So how was your first day? Any crushes besides that Mick, me, Micleass?"
"Mom, it was okay, but it's Nicholas and no. And plus, who said I even liked him anyway, because I don't."
"Well, your browser history says otherwise."
I gasp.
"Mom! Why are you reading my browser history?" I shout.
"It's a family computer, not private property Coy," she laughs.
Ugh.
We pull into the garage. I open the car door and jump out, open the house door, and drop my bag on the table. I take off my white converse, place them in my hand and walk to the fridge. I open it up and look around.
Salad? No. Mashed potatoes? No. Chicken nuggets? No. Cheeseburgers and fries? Yes!
I place it out on the place nearby and warm it up for the 30 seconds.
Beep beep beep.
I remove my food from the microwave, the smell filling the air. I walk into my room, place my page on the table, and lick the door. I walk over to the mirror and take a long hard look at myself.
Brown hair, green eyes, light tan color, 5'4. So what's so bad about me? What's so different between Harper and me? Then there is Nic. Dirty blonde hair, amber eyes, 6'0, beautiful complexion, mesmerizing face.
If it were my decision, I'd choose me. After all, amber and green would make beautiful eye colors for our future children.
I let out a long, deep sigh and move away from the mirror. I grab my food and open my computer, going to YouTube.
"How to get your crush to notice you," I type into the search bar. I click on the first video. It's a blonde-haired Hawaiian looking girl. I think she said her name is Eva?
I start listening, at the same time I'm taking notes.
I finish the video and then my phone goes off.
Ding ding ding.
I pick it up.
"Tia! I've figured it out. I've got it!"
Chapter 3
Kinda left you hanging there, sorry.
Today is the 2nd week of school, so Tia and I are going to put my plan to action today. We call it "Almanglo." I really don't know how we came up with such an odd name. Anyways this is what we have planned:
Get Nic "Almanglo"
1. Go to Clever Mall and buy a new wardrobe.
2. Go to Sephora and Ulta and buy makeup.
3. Go to the hair salon and get hair done (obviously.)
4. Get nails done at that dumb nail place
5. Go grocery shopping
Ignore that last one..... Hahaha
I throw on my backpack and walk to school. When I got there I saw Tia waiting at the front door.
"Finally," she said.
We hid our backpacks behind a big bush and ran to distance ourselves from the school. About a mile and a half later (We used to do track) we finished running, as we figured we were far enough from the school.
"Let's walk now," I said taking a breath in between each word.
"Walk? Haha! I only stopped here because I called an Uber. Did you really think we were going to walk for 30 some minutes to the mall? And on top of that, shop while we're sweaty?"
"Uh, no." I stuttered.
"Yeah, right..." Tia said rolling her eyes.
5 minutes later, our driver, "Craig" (fishy name, I know) pulled up in his black 2016 Audi.
"Are you, um, Tia," he said as he checked his phone.
"Yes, Craig?" Tia said.
"Yes ma'am, y'all can hop in the back seats," he said, me just hearing his southern accent.
He unlocked the door and Tia and I went inside.
30ish minutes went by without and utter from anyone. Tia and I sat in the back texting each other, rather than speaking.
"Well, we have arrived," Craig said as he switched the car into park.
"Thanks," I mummer and hopped out of the comfy car. 5 seconds later he drove off in a flash.
I looked around to take in my surroundings, unable to figure out what to do first.
"What do you want to do first?" Tia shouted in excitement.
"Well, honestly I don't know, maybe we should just try and see-"
"Okay, clothes it is!"
I smiled as Tia grabbed my
