Chapter 17: Wrong Day To Wear White.
Tuesday, September 9th
All weekend, we did nothing but stay home all day so I've been exercising in my room and eating healthy all weekend and still didn't loose weight. I'm still the same and it's really irritating. If I don't loose weight soon, I'll never be in modeling! This is taking way too long! Loosing weight takes weeks and it's hard to stay patient.
I wanted to go over the Jackson's house this weekend but I was a little shy. I kept thinking about the little "pool party" Michael and I had. I blush every time I think about him. His sexiness just puts butterflies in my stomach. Latoya and Rebbie knew about the pool party. Latoya texted me that Michael told her about it and Rebbie saw us in the pool talking. I kinda felt embarrassed a little because she kept talking about how we were looking at each other and flirting.
On Monday, I was expecting him to ask me to be his homecoming date since mostly everyone in school was talking about it. Some people will stop in the middle of the hallway and the guy asks the girl to the homecoming dance and of course everybody will be cheering and recording from their phones. I think it's quite annoying that couples show off in front of everyone, like nobody cares! But anyways, school was the same, and of course some people made fun of me about the cheer and modeling. I had lunch with Prince again at his house and I ate salad and drank some water, even though I'm not really a big fan of water.
I copied the notes on my notebook from the board that Ms. Steely wrote. Mostly everybody was copying the notes down and some were asleep on their desks.
It takes me at least a minute to copy all the notes down from the board. On the other hand, Michael, Prince and this guy name Javan takes a long time to copy so whenever the teacher erases all the notes, they copy the notes from my book. I can tell Michael is a little irritated. Ms.Steely is a really fast teacher and doesn't like waiting on anyone. I guess that's making him a little mad. It's kinda funny and cute at the same time. His mad face is too cute.
I finished writing down all the notes from my notebook and let Michael, Prince and Javan copy off of mine. I took my phone out of my pocket, since the teacher said we can have free time if we're done with our work.
I'm always one of the first ones to finish my work before anyone else does so people assume that I'm really smart. Well, I don't know that I'm smart or not but okay.
There's really nothing to do but be on Instagram on my phone. Instagram is entertaining for me and I'm always on it.
I pulled up Instagram and there's this picture of Michael and Latoya:
I giggled softly and looked up at Michael. He didn't notice me giggling so I looked back down at my phone. I read the caption that says, "I had fun with my sister yesterday. We were playing around and sharing secrets. #bondingwithmysis" I studied the picture in awe wishing that I can bond with my brothers like that but I know I never will. There's probably a chance with Trey but I don't know.
Went on to the next photo:
A picture of Ashely wearing a short, tight white dress with stripes on the sleeves. Her hair is blonde is curly on the ends of her hair and she's in the bathroom taking a picture, which shows a really good lighting.
She looks really pretty. She looks like a Barbie doll. She's goals. She has a body shape that I want. Skinny. I want to be her size and look like a model like her. Maybe I should look at her pictures more for motivation or ask her to help me loose weight.
I felt Prince tap my left shoulder gently.
"Yeah?" I looked up from my phone to him.
"Can I come over your house after school? I don't really want to stay home with my siblings." He whispered.
I shrugged, "Why?" I asked.
"I just really don't and plus I need your help on homework." He whispered.
"But I have things to do, I need to workout and-"
"I'll be there for a few hours then I'll leave." He whispered. "Just please let me stay over your house for a little bit." He begged.
I sighed, "Okay."

Lunch
I'm sitting on a table in the cafeteria with all my friends, Rebbie, Latoya, Nia, Erica and Michael.
Prince isn't in the cafeteria, he's eating at home. Prince doesn't really like being in the cafeteria anymore so he decided to always eat lunch at home. I want to go over his house to keep him company but, I haven't ate lunch with my other friends in a while.
The lunch ladies are serving a lot of my favorite foods, nachos, cheeseburgers, fries, cookies, ice cream and it makes me mad because I really want it. I can't do it, I need to loose weight so I grabbed a box of salad from the cafeteria line and apple juice.
We all sat on the round table awkwardly eating silently for a few minutes. Michael sat on the right side of me while Sabrina sat on the left of side of me.
Sabrina and I started talking again over the weekend but she still disagrees to stay away from her boyfriend. I didn't want to start talking about what he could do to her again because I didn't want to start another argument with her. So I'm just gonna leave her and her boyfriend alone and let her live her life.
"Soo." Erica started, intertwining her fingers together. "Uh. One of us should start a sleepover." She smiled.
Latoya, Rebbie and Erica smiled at us brightly and I looked at them puzzled.
"What?" I shrugged at them.
Sabrina gently nudged my arm, "They want us to start a sleepover." She mumbled.
I looked at them and sighed.
We're always throwing sleepovers at our place. Why can't we ever go over to the Jackson's?
"Please Ariel! Your place is lit." Nia exclaimed.
"Yeah, and we need to talk to you about something." Latoya winked.
I looked at them puzzled, "What is it about?" I asked.
Latoya looked at Michael, who was busy eating his food, and shook her head.
"We'll tell you when you make a sleepover tonight." Latoya giggled.
"Tonight? Why tonight?!" I dropped my fork.
"Becauseee it's important and we wanna spend time with our best friends." Rebbie cooed.
"Am I invited?" I heard Michael ask.
"No!" Rebbie and Latoya said together.
"Dang. Why can't he come?" Sabrina shrugged sipping her drink.
"Because it's a girls night. No boys allowed!" Latoya exclaimed pointing her fork at Sabrina.
"Okay. Whatever. I'll think about it." I mumbled picking up my fork and sticking it down on my salad.
I felt Michael gently tap my shoulder, I turned my head towards him and his legs are facing towards me and he's leaning on the side of the table.
"You should plan a sleepover with boys and girls some day and invite me." He winked.
Woah now.
My eyes widened as they started laughing at us and Oohing. I felt my cheeks start to burn while I smiled in embarrassment.
"Y'all are so dirty! Shut up! I just wanna be invited to a sleepover!" Michael laughed with them.
"Mhm. Yeah, right Michael!" Latoya laughed.
"Whatever!" Michael chuckled leaning back in his chair and crossing his arms.
We laughed for quite a bit and it kinda got silent again. The cafeteria suddenly got silent after hearing light taps on the microphone.
"Everybody listen up!" A man voice rang through the microphone from in front of the cafeteria.
Everybody quiet down a little bit and stopped what they're doing, paying attention to the nicely dressed man standing on a table. His hair was blonde, and he's super tall.
I really don't know why he's standing on top of a table because he's probably tall enough for everybody him if he wasn't standing on the table.
"Some of you know that I'm the Principle, Mr. High." He spoke smiling. "I wanted to share a few things that is going on this week."
All the students were dead silent looking at Mr. High standing on the table with a microphone in his hand and a phone in his other hand. He put on his glasses looking down at the neon pink paper in his hand and a his other hand holding the microphone up to his mouth.
"We are having the homecoming dance this Friday. I don't know if y'all know about this but this year, we're choosing the homecoming queen and king."
I heard all the girls squeal and the boys cheer and act like fools loudly in the cafeteria.
"So, if you want people to vote for you, either tape posters, persuading people to vote for you, or do it online. The one who has the most voters get to be the homecoming queen and king." He exclaimed.
That'll be really cool if Michael asked me to be his homecoming date and all of a sudden we'll be the school's homecoming queen and king. Hopefully that'll happen!
Everyone gasped and cheered a little, getting excited. I suddenly felt a cold liquid splash violently against my back causing my friends to jump back a little.
I screamed, "What the fuck!" I popped my head back and there's Kaitlyn.
She had her mouth open and was slightly smiling a bit. The students looked over to our direction and watched .
"Omg I'm soo sorry! I didn't mean to do that!" She put her cup down on the table and covered her mouth.
"Are you okay Ariel?!" I heard Michael ask.
"I'll give her some paper towels! Hold on!" I heard Kaitlyn say as she ran off somewhere.
"Here. I have a little bit of tissue." Sabrina handed me folded tissue.
"Ugh! I'm gonna kill her!" I said angrily snatching the tissue out of Sabrina's hand.
I felt the cold and sticky liquid run down my dress and the back of my hair. My ears and face started to get hot from anger and rest of my body was cold from the drink she spilled on me. My friends are sitting there shocked and not knowing what to do causing me to be a little more pissed.
Kaitlyn came back with a lot of paper towels in her hands and handed some to me. Michael grabbed some out of her hand to help me wipe all this stuff off me.
"I'm so sorry Ariel. It was an accident." She wiped the back of my shoulder with the paper towel.
"An accident?! I know good and well that wasn't an accident!" I yelled snatching the paper towel away from her.
"Damn Ariel chill!" Sabrina complained.
"It's okay Ariel, it was an accident." Michael calmly said handing me more paper towels.
"You do this again, you'll wish you never did it." I threatened Kaitlyn.
"Look, I'm sorry, I didn't mean for that to happen. Okay? I should watch where I'm going next time." Kaitlyn said trying to sound innocent.
I know that bitch did this on purpose I'm not dumb.
"Ugh. Whatever bitch." I mumbled.
"Damn Ariel. How come you get mad over the littlest things?" Sabrina complained sitting back in her chair. "It was in accident!" She threw her arms up.
"It was not an accident!" I yelled back at her.
"How do you know?" She rolled her eyes at me.
"Because she's- she's horrible!"
"She did that on accident and she apologized! Just because you don't like her doesn't mean you should assume that she did that on purpose!" Sabrina yelled.
I don't have time for this shit.
I groaned, got up and stormed out of the cafeteria rushing to the bathroom. I snatched a lot of paper towels from the towel holder and wiped the icy red drink off of my WHITE dress and my hair. I scrubbed really hard with hot water and soap and it's not coming off, which is really pissing me off.
I know she did that in purpose, she's always trying to embarrass me! If she mess with me again, she's gonna catch these hands! My dress has a big dark red spot on the back, my hair isn't long enough to cover it! It looks like I have to change my whole outfit. I'm wearing a white dress and a light jean jacket. The back of my dress is all red from that drink she had! It looks like I'm on my period and bled through my dress! I chose the wrong day to wear white. I really need to change outfits but I don't have one!
I heard someone bust through the bathroom door calling my name.
"Ariel? Ariel? It's me Latoya. Are you okay?" I heard her voice echo in the empty bathroom and her wedges clicking on the hard floor.
She walked up to me and looked me up and down with a shock face.
"Woah." She said covering her mouth.
"Yeah, Imma kill the bitch." I said rubbing my hair against the paper towel.
"Don't you think we should take you to the office to get you changed? Or do you already have an outfit?" She asked.
I sighed, "I don't have an outfit." I mumbled.
"Well, do you want to go to the office?" She asked.
I sighed and turned my body towards her, "What are they gonna do about it?!" I raised my voice.
"Uh, they can give you some clothes, this happened to me before." She said.
"Well, let's go." I rolled my eyes and mumbled.
•RING• •RING•
Great. Now the bell rang and I'm gonna be late for class. All thanks to this bitch.
*
We went to the office and they gave me a long, orange t-shirt and a baggy boys black basketball shorts. My hair was still wet and sticky and so was my underwear a little.
I smell like sticky cherries and fruit punch. I feel so icky and I feel like I'm not gonna make it throughout the day feeling like this. I wanna go home and get clean!

Walking to Spanish class in the hallway by myself, I heard a few feminine voices at the end of the hallway. I thought I heard my name but I'm sure they're not talking about me. I walked to my locker and put the bag, that has my wet clothes in it, in my locker and closed it. I continued walking towards the voices, since my Spanish class is that way.
I really don't want anyone to see me dressed like this. I look like a bum.
"Omg. Who? Ariel?" I heard the feminine voice.
I raised my eyebrows when I heard my name and stopped at the end of the lockers.
They're talking about me. Ugh.
"Yeah her, the fat chick." I heard a familiar voice speak.
I furrowed my eyebrows and became a little mad knowing that was Kaitlyn's voice.
Good thing she's in the hallway, now I can teach this bitch a lesson for messing up my clothes!
I quickly walked pass the wall and turned the corner having me to see Kaityln, Tracey and Justice standing together in front of the girls' bathroom door.
I cleared my throat to get their attention. They looked at me with a grimace on their faces and chuckled a little. I leaned on one hip and crossed my arms looking back at them with a grimace. They were wearing similar outfits, but different colors and the same messy hairstyle.
"What do you want?" Tracey spoke up.
I rolled my eyes, "I heard my name."
"So?" Kaitlyn shrugged. "Stay out of our business."
"You were talking about me so it's my business too." I said while they walked closer to me.
"It wasn't your conversation." Justice snapped.
"It had my name in it." I snapped back
"Ugh. Go away you ugly tramp." Kaitlyn shooed me away with her hand.
"You go away you awful lier." I snapped back.
Justice and Tracey chuckled together and looked at Kaitlyn.
"Oh yeah, remember what happened at lunch?" Tracey told Kaitlyn.
Kaitlyn smiled at them and chuckled, "Yep." She nodded and looked back at me. "Now she's wearing this." She pointed at my outfit and laughed. "I'm surprised they found your size! What size do you wear? Size 30?" She gibed.
"When I'm done with you, you're gonna be dressed in your death suit in a casket." I spat.
"No I won't. You can't even fight me, you're too fat. Ha. You'll run out of breath 5 seconds into the fight." She crossed her arms and the others chuckled.
I sighed and rolled my eyes.
"Look at you." She pointed at me. "You really thought you were gonna make the modeling and cheer? Haha. You were wrong!" She laughed.
I sighed loudly, "Get it of my face, I got to get to class and I don't have the time to deal with your ugly ass face." I put my hand in her face and walked off.
"Walk faster so you can burn more calories fat ass!" She called while I walked away.
