the parking lot. He floored it out of there. I said that he should go back and talk to her and he said no way. Then I pretended to text her on his phone and he went ballistic on me. He told me to give him back his fucking phone. I told him to drive me home. I handed him his phone and all I had typed into it was ‘Tricked You!’ as a joke. He didn’t realize that I hadn’t texted her until I was already in the house. He’s called five times I blocked his number now.
Tara: What an asshole! U totally shouldn’t have played that trick on him though. What do U care how he treats Harper? He’s in2 U!
Dalia: Bcause I could B next 2B treated like that. I’m so done with him B4 we even started.
Tara: I think U R overreacting. U don’t know their situation.
Dalia: He cut all his hair off just Bcause he know’s Harper hates it that way.
Tara: Ew, how did it look?
Dalia: Not as good, but he’s still hot.
Tara: He must still have feelings 4 her, albeit-ve 1’s 2 do something like that.
Dalia: U know!
Tara: Totally! We have 2 go shopping 4 the Halloween dance.
Dalia: Ok, Come over 4 dinner and then we’ll go after.
Tara: Can’t, mom wants me 2 eat here tonight. Will pick U up after dinner.
Dalia: Ok. TTYL
Tara: TTYL
I used the excuse that I wanted to rest my leg before shopping with Tara for a reason to eat in my room. She picked me up shortly after seven and we headed to the mall.
Tara and I checked out several stores before settling on overpriced Disney costumes from the movie Frozen. She being the best BFF she was, didn’t dare mention Adam’s name the entire time we were out. She even managed to make me laugh asking me when was I going to meet Ryan while holding a fairy costume. She was righteously firing out subliminal messages.
I knew what I should do, I had to push Adam out of my head and focus on healing and making this alleged partnership with Ryan work.
Halloween Dance
Tara picked me up a half hour before the dance started. Her short blond hair was disguised by a wig that was long and brown. Her blue eyes remained unchanged with the exception of the bold colours she used on her lids. Her eye lashes were darkened, emphasizing their beautiful length and her dress colour was a Royal Blue making her look the noble part. Her natural beauty was highlighted in this costume, I hardly recognized her!
She froze the second I sat in her car, “Oh.My.God, Dalia! You look amazing! Everyone’s going to be throwing themselves at your feet tonight!”
“I highly doubt that,” I said self-consciously. “My makeup is too light, the long blond wig isn’t sitting on me properly, and the light blue dress makes me look chunky.”
“You’ll see,” she grinned, “lose the wig, your own hair looks better.”
“Seriously?”
“Totally!” I took the wig off and started fishing through my purse for a brush. When I found it I started mindlessly running it through my hair, “Do you think Adam will be their tonight?”
“I thought you’re mad at him,” she said shortly.
“I am,” I admitted lamely.
Tara started squealing and tapping her hand against the steering wheel with excitement, “I have major gossip! Sierra’s leaving Carter tonight! Jeremy asked her out, and she’s in love with him. Carter isn’t going to know what hit him! He’s going to be on the market before the end of the night, and I’m going to snatch him up! He’s going to be all mine!”
“Could you be more confident? It might ruin your friendship with Sierra if she see’s you with him.”
“She’s the one breaking up with him! So our golden rule doesn’t apply in this case.” Tara reminded me. “By the way she says she has something to show me!”
“What?”
“I have no fucking clue! Do you think Carter is going to like the way I look?”
“What guy wouldn’t?” I said honestly.
She pulled into the parking lot and we played music for twenty minutes so we wouldn’t be the first ones at
