Chapter 3: Fizzy sugar 


It was 2:30 pm and I had threw on some pajamas and glanced in the mirror. Did I look  okay? I thought to myself over and over again I may come off as the type of person that doesn't care what people think but deep down I really do, I mean honestly who doesn't?

I was standing there looking at myself very hard and then my sister came... And she just HAD to say something. "You know Juniors and Freshman don't match ... Stop being pathetic and pull out the stuff you guys need for this damn project he'll be here any minute." Damn I hated her so much sometimes I mean really she was so fucking rude always bringing me down ... That's all anyone in this family has ever done for me .. bring me down with their words.
She walked away and I mumbled "I'm pretty sure bleach and tanning booths don't mix you barbie looking bitch." Ugh I couldn't stand her,who did she think she was anyways?
I lost track of time and before I knew it I heard my sister slam the door shut... 'Yay she's gone.' I said in my head. I looked and looked for some flaw... Aha! My glasses... The lenses were totally grimey looking 'Time for a nice wash!' I said to myself.
While washing my lenses a feeling of nervousness flushed over me. I was a nervous clumsy wreck shit was gonna go down.. I tried pulling myself together David was't even here yet.. I could totally calm myself down within a few minutes.. Right?
Walking down the stairs was a surprise.. My heart began pounding like crazy... Leaping and jumping around in my chest like a bunny .... Fluttering like a butterfly... 'Oh fuck me' I said in my head.
"Uh... You okay? You're sister let me in... I can wait a few minutes if you're not ready" David said calmly...I was ready I just left my glasses on the side of the sink and also happened to forget I was nearly blind without those bitches....'Oh fuck me really Melody of all times you forget your glasses .. NOW' I said to myself..
I felt like I was having a meltdown I felt so anxious and jittery that I started speaking fast "Yeah I'm fine, never better I just forgot my glasses let me run up to the bath-- My room so I can go and get them.. They were pretty foggy and yeah... I could barely see.. hahaha! So yeah let me run upstairs real quick and grab those so we can work on this project." I felt like such a dumb ass.
"Damn this skeleton is sexy as hell!" David said jokingly as he realized I was re-entering the room
all I could do was giggle a little bit.
"Ey... You got any soda?" he asked me with a charming look on his face......
I was stuck on his face... Damn his girlfriend sure was lucky... "Oh um sure... What kinda soda?" I said somewhat dolly and prissy shocking myself ..I wasn't trying to sound that way it just happened.. Oh damn him why couldn't he be a loser?
"Anything is fine I just need some sugar... Coach has been down my back lately about what I eat and drink and right now is really the only chance I have to drink a sugary caffeinated beverage... mmmm yum!" He said amusingly.
"No problemo Davido" I said in a nerdy fashion trying to make a lame and corny attempt to be amusing.

I went to the fridge.. Think like a guy I thought to myself. What the hell kind of soda would a guy like to drink? Pepsi, Coke ,Cherry coke, Sprite , root beer... Did root beer count as a soda? Technically no right? Ugh I'm such a mess right now ... I had to pick a soda that would excite his taste buds and create a fizzy tingly explosion that he would savor.
I handed him the soda, you could hear the crisp cracking sound from it opening and then... WOOSH! SSSSSIPP! The soda exploded... What the hell I wanted the soda to explode in his mouth not on him... Oh god ... "Ahh- Gaah- Gheez" Was all David muttered out as the soda was spurting all over the place. Did I shake the soda from being nervous...? I probably did oh god I'm such a cluts I thought to myself.
"Uh... That was totally unexpected I'm so sorry about tha-" I tried to say but he cut me off.
He was looking at his clothes in disgust. "Agh! I'm all wet and sticky now... Could you get me another soda and can I clean myself off a little?
I felt so.. I don't know I just felt weird... "Sure thing.. My bathroom is upstairs on the right second door ... The middle one."
Sooner than later David came down... looking a little cleaner and grabbed another soda... Oh boy I thought to myself watch this one explode too... But it didn't he sprung his head back and chugged the soda.... You could hear the hard thumps in his throat as the gassy soda made it's way down to his stomach.
A deep manly burp escaped David's mouth .. I must admit that was kinda of nasty but I thought it was kinda sexy ... I know he has horrible manners but hey with a gorgeous face like his who couldn't look past that.?
"That was some damn good soda.. I was craving that for quite a while... Thanks Melody" he said with a big cocky grin on his face.
The rest of the night we spent working on our project..  He knew alot more than I thought he would and the thought of him dumping the whole project on me disappeared from my head somehow  I knew he wouldn't do that even though that was what him and his friends were known for ..I didn't understand ...  David was so much smarter than he appeared to be yet he acted so stupid..Why? 
"We're doing awesome so far... You know we might just get some bonus points if Ms.Johnson is feeling nice" He said. I wanted so badly to ask him why he was put in a smaller class... I had an excuse I was shy as hell but still wanted to be in an advanced placement which for me is his grade.. but for him it's like he's failing or something... Should I ask or not I debated with myself for a moment then figured ahhh fuck it , it really wasn't my business.
We did some research for the rest of the time being so we could add more to our model skeleton of the human body. The nervous system and immune system was what we were studying and I felt like I wanted to collapse.. I was tired but I didn't want to see him go...
"What the fuck... SOOO sweat is pretty much diluted pee?" {That's really a fact guys lol}
He asked sounding disgusted. 
"Yup mhmm... The human body is pretty fascinating huh?" I replied. I was guessing this wasn't his niche ... I loved science blood and things like that didn't disgust me. He was the guy and I was the girl yet he was sitting here acting all grossed out hahaha I thought to myself.
He looked surprised "Eh I guess if you're into that stuff it's fascinating ... Things like this I'd rather not know." He said almost sarcastically yet amusing.
A text from his girlfriend ended our little fiasco. It must have been a damn good text I thought to myself... The smile on his face went from California to Maine. Or maybe it was a naked photo whatever it was it sure made him rush to leave. Ugh I totally was jumping the gun in my head, that really was none of my business, besides why did I care anyways it wasn't like I liked him after all he did have a girlfriend.
"I guess I'll see you tomorrow after school so we can finish this." I said as we parted ways and said bye.
Literally we had to finish this the project was due after tomorrow... Ugh why did Ms.Johnson give last minute  assignments that consisted of so much work..?!?!
He left and I stood there smiling in the empty room...He was everything , he was life, he was the stars that shined at night, he was perfection...

Chapter 2 : The afternoon to come...

It was a normal day of school... The jocks were in the school yard banging on the vending machines hoping to get a snack to release from those evil black spirals that contained them.


"Oh fuck this machine!" Cris said angrily, he and his fellow jocks had been trying to get a free candy bar for the past hour.. Now it was just him and David left trying.

"Oh fuck the idiot trying to get a free candy bar by banging the machine!" David said playfully with a hint of sarcasm. "Come on man let's get to class I can't afford any more lates...Besides today's our first day in Prep ugh I wish I would've tried harder." David added with a regretful tone.


***Back to Melody's point of view***
I was sitting there in class .. early as always waiting for the other juniors to arrive... Yup you heard that right I'm a freshman in a junior class... You know advanced placement except this is a smaller class for the troubled I guess you could say.. I didn't want to be in a full class full of juniors and be the only freshman so I had my counselor put me in this class at the beginning of the year.

My sisters friend Janelle was in this class.. Ugh fuck my life she acted like  such a blonde and today she walked in showing off her newly fake tanned body. "I'm here bitches!" She exclaimed  Ugh someone shoot me now I thought to myself.
Though I hated her I couldn't really complain she never did shit in the class except go on Facebook and Twitter, Instagram yada yada all that bullshit. "Oh my god no way" were pretty much the only things you heard from her corner on a daily basis.
Ms.Johnson was getting pissed at Cris... My sisters boyfriend ..nothing new there.. He ALWAYS showed up late with David to almost every class. "There's no way I'm having BOTH of you come in my class to slack off and distract the rest of these kids that really want help go down to guidance and get your schedule changed."
She then continued on saying "You know maybe I'd let you stay if you showed up on time but no... You failed the original class now you're here for redemption and your still doing the same crap that got you placed here... Goodbye"
"Someone's on their period..Not like I gave a fuck about anything you said though" Cris angrily spat out while leaving the class...Yet again nothing new there he always had quite the mouth.
David jumped out of his seat in an instant with intentions to help Cris stay in the class."Who's going to be my partner then Ms.Johnson?.. If I'm right we need partners in this class for most of the work.."
Ms.Johnson looked discouragingly around at all the students.. "Ah... You can partner up with Melody she's got the highest grade in the class... Maybe you could learn a few things from her." As soon as she said those words I got warm all over. How was I going to keep it cool around him..? Ugh thanks alot Ms.Johnson... Thanks for partnering me up with the super hot guy and thanks for making me a nervous wreck in advance.
The whole time we were sitting there I just wanted to go sit somewhere else anywhere else but near him.. I always got so nervous being around someone with such a high rank in our school... You know the 'popular' kids.. Something about those kinds of students was just so intimidating. I felt so sweaty and disgusting ugh.. Luckily he was zoned out looking around and somewhat listening to the teacher I guess.. I don't really know exactly what was going on in that mind of his but he sure wasn't looking at me which gave me a sense of relief.
After class he came up to me..."I have practice after school so I can't stay after with you how about I swing by your house after practice and we can get some stuff done then?" He asked.. What the hell was he talking about? Come to my house .. get what done..? WHAT-THE-FUCK...
Had I been that caught up in my own little world that I didn't realize anything that had gone on in class.. "Um How do you know where I live and what do we have to get done..?" I asked casually trying to keep my self cool.. not stumble upon my words you know all that stuff.. Every word I spoke was like robotic-ish I wanted to sound perfect.. I didn't want to sound like a jittery fool.
"Well um I know your sister.. I've been around your neighborhood a few times and we've gotta get the project done ..did you even pay attention in class that's all Ms.Johnson was talking about?" He said... Damn that was the first time in a long time I ever zoned out in a class 'Get yourself together girl' I said to myself.
"Oh um.. Yeah right my sister Jessica.. The projec-" He cut me off ..
"I NEED YOU.. I can't fail this class please don't let me down." He said looking at me seriously... I don't know why but I had a feeling that was some secret guy code for 'Hey let me give you all the work to do so I don't have to do shit and can still get a good grade' Yeah.. There was no way I was letting that shit fly. Then again the thought of him needing me for something made me feel all warm and fuzzy like a bear.
I didn't think of what to say my mouth just went .. "You don't need me for anything I'm pretty sure you're smarter than you think you are but .. um .. Yeah my place after practice  I'll be there.. And we can get this project done" I felt so cheesy after saying that what the hell was I thinking..Ugh why was I so damn awkward..? Oh well.. This afternoon should be interesting.

Chapter 1 : Fake tans and David


So sorry the pictures suck but they get better, as the story continues.... Sorry it sucks in the beginning.

        It was a warm summer afternoon, and as usual the doorbell rang but it wasn't for me. “Jessica! Get down here your friend is here!” I yelled.
          I hated when she left me to lookout for her friends and all that other stupid shit. They weren't my type and they simply weren't my friends, Ugh.

      


     Her name was Janelle AKA my sister's replacement sister...For who? Me.
It was no secret that my sister disliked me, but I didn't really care. We always fought ever since we were kids. She would steal my toys, tell me I looked like a boy yet she would steal my clothes, dismember my barbie dolls, and sometimes she would even read my diary...Back when I was into writing about my feelings but I don't do that anymore. I never really wrote anything that personal in their anyways, it was just that fact that she felt like she could read it that pissed me off.


Jessica finally decided to walk down the stairs and greet her friend. I wont lie she looked beautiful. I envied her sometimes, she had the perfect life, perfect boyfriend, perfect look, perfect school life, and everyone loved her. There was nothing imperfect about her.


My mother came down stairs too and she gripped my sister so tight when she hugged her. “Have fun tanning sweetie but don't have too much fun.” She said. Sometimes I just wished I could run away to my own little land and never come back.
 My mom loved my sister, obviously more than me, and every complimenting word she said to her pierced my heart like a just sharpened knife because it was all the things she wished I would be but I wasn't and I never would be.


My mom turned to me as Jessica and Janelle were getting ready to leave.
“Oh sweetie, why don't you go with them? I know you'r a freshman but..I'm pretty sure Jessica could introduce you to her friends... Why don't you just go tanning with them..Try it you just might like it .” She said. 
I felt so sad inside, how could my own mom want me to be something I'm not? How could she want ME to be someone else? How come she couldn't love me for me?


I didn't really know what to say, partly because I was barely listening to a word she said.
 “Eh... I guess I'll give it a try” was all I managed to say but really I just wanted to break down and cry, I couldn't wait until her and dad went on their usual business trips.
 Truth be told, I hated it when they came back for their rare visits back home. They just get on my nerves, they treat me like the outcast in the family. Which I kind of am in a way...

***

The car ride was awkward as ever.
I don't know if it was the girly scented perfume that was lingering around in her vehicle that made me feel so awkward or the fact that we were driving in a super blinged out car that looked like the cars you'd see on 'Mtv Cribs' or 'Pimp my Ride'.


“So... Do you think he's over me.. Or do I have another shot?” Janelle said.
 Her and my sister had been talking about some guy for nearly the whole car ride.
Ugh they sounded so desperate I just wanted to throw up. Where was their morals, their dignity,their pride? Ugh, what was wrong with girls these days?


“Fuck no it's not over when he sees you at Cris' party next weekend he won't be able to take his eyes off of you..and his hands”My sister said suggestively.
 That was her life: Partying, boys, drinking, dancing, cheerleading, football games, fake tans, being perfect, looking perfect.
 And then you have me: Plain, simple, as some would say “boring”, but most of all I have a secret talent no one knows about, well let's just say it's a talent that my parents seemed to forget about.


As soon as we arrived Janelle exclaimed “OH SPRAY TAN BABIES I'VE MISSED YOU OH SO MUCH!”
 Her and my sister both ran off and into one of the booths to get sprayed with cold jets of orange pigmented liquid.


I was just sitting there waiting for them, there was no way in hell I was getting in one of those booths. As I was sitting there something caught my eye.


It was David Rakenson , the big sports star at our school that everyone raved about and his girlfriend Casey, who was a cheerleader but I actually liked her. She was pretty nice and surprisingly not fake besides the fact that she liked to fake tan from time to time. 
They were standing there kissing, and it was a bit too much for public.


I looked away and into space not wanting to make it obvious I was watching them. I mean after all how creepy would that be?


It took me a year to realize he... David Rakenson had taken a seat next to me instead of sitting on the other unoccupied sofa.
 I felt his gaze upon me, my entire body locked up and froze I didn't want to make myself look like an ass so I looked the other direction but god dammit he just had to say something.


“Hold up, You don't seem like the spray tan kinda' girl” he said so smoothly with his deep voice. 
Everything around me stopped, living things stopped breathing,it was just us there, no one else.
 Then I realized he spoke to me.


“Oh um I'm not. I'm just here with my sister and her friend, Janelle.” I felt so stupid, so little around him. But why? We were both human right? Why couldn't I just act and feel normal around him?


His light blue eyes sent pulsating electrical currents all through my body. “Your Jessica's little sister aren't you?” he asked me.
 I couldn't help but get over those damn eyes I mean seriously could they not be anymore gorgeous? Damn.


“Yup that's my sis.”  It kind of pissed me off that the only way he knew me was from my sister , I mean I guess you can say I'm over exaggerating but still it was annoying.
I was fed up with everyone using me and my sisters name in the same sentence I just wanted to be me and let myself shine, not share her light.


He looked at me with a smirk on his face “Eh, uh so you guys are coming to Cris' party right?” He asked. 
I knew about Cris' party but I wasn't exactly invited so if I went that would technically be 'crashing.' Right?


“Well.. Um I'm not really a party person but I'm sure my sister is going.” I said, showing little emotion.
 I really didn't know how to respond I didn't want to sound 'thirsty' like I was begging to go because I wasn't then again I didn't want to sound rude either or nerdy.
 Ugh I'm such a mess right now all because of him and his god damn gorgeous self.


He looked me in the eyes , his gaze was so intense. Those light blue ocean eyes looked like the clear ocean waters you'd see in places like Trinidad or Tobago. He was just a work of art, I felt like he was piercing into my soul every time our eyes met. 
“Well you should come have your sister show you around and get you used to other big names in the school.” When he said that I snapped back  into reality I was a freshman, he probably felt bad for me.


His girlfriend finished tanning, she was now golden and gorgeous and they were making out yet again. Besides their raunchy displays of PDA I couldn't stop thinking about that party should I go?
