I sat on my bed, staring nochantly out the window. I couldn’t believe that I was about to go on my first date, and yet, I felt absoloutely calm.

I rested the palms of my hands on my flat stomach and just breathed. Lindsey was going to be coming soon… I knew she would want me to try on a bunch of crazy outfits… but for now I was just at peace, knowing that soon I would be with Blake.

His name was Blake Corriher, and he was cute and blonde, with skater-boyish charm and spiky hair. He was rich like us, and had promised to take me to dinner… and then to the private suite his parents owned above it.

“Babe!” Lindsey walked boldly into my room, still in her cheerleading uniform.

“Why are you just sitting around, bitch? Go try on something cute! And do it fast!”

I rolled my eyes at the way she just barged into my room and demanded I get dressed, but I didn’t protest. I didn’t want to look at her too long. I was afraid I might get jealous of the uniform she wore. I never tried out for the squad… but it didn’t mean that I wasn’t envious of her!

But good thing that jealousy was more her style… not mine.

I whipped out one of my new dresses. It was black with silver accents, and a perfectly pleated skirt. I walked over to her in 6-inch heels, tottering just a bit.

She looked at me, taking in the short skirt and tight bodice. I just stared at her, bored, waiting for the criticism that was sure to come. Lindsey always did this to me; made me try on outfits, just to critcize them when her own clothes weren’t even that cute…

“Chloe… the important thing is… You have to look good! How can you look good in a sack?” She rolled her baby blue eyes at me, her freckles standing out on her pale cheeks.

Her lips were ruby red, her teeth white and straight, and her blonde hair was perfectly straightened into two pigtails. She looked like the vision of high-school perfection, so thinking she knew what she was talking about, I changed.

“How about this one, Lins? Cute, right?” I had gotten the lime green slip from Dolce & Gabbanna the previous night, shopping with my mother.

But Lindsey still said nothing. I remember the sting in my eyes, almost like I wanted to cry when she reared back and frowned at me. “Really, Cloe? Really? Go find something else. That is absolutely trampy!” I wanted to cry as soon as the harsh words left her perfect, heart-shaped mouth.

I changed into my final new dress. It was turquoise and made of fine silk; it was perfect on me, although I didn’t think the others were so awful-looking either.

Suddenly my phone vibrated on the dresser, nearly falling off the side. It was him. I smiled and looked at the text message.

“hi bb! cnt wait 2 c u! b ther reel soon! hope ur reddy. luv u!”

I smiled at Blake’s cutesy text. He really was sweet.

I looked at Lindsey’s face. She was grimacing painfully at my dress when suddenly she spun around. I could hear the doorbells chiming.

“I guess you don’t have time to change… that will have to do. I hope Blake doesn’t pay too much attention to you tonight…”

That, too, stung. I think this was when I finally realized that Lindsey wasn’t the best for me…

“Chloe? Itty-bitty? Come downstairs. I think your date’s here!” I could hear the smile in my mtoher’s voice; but I still wasn’t ready. I nodded to Lindsey.

“I’ll call you later with the details,” I mumbled to her, not meaning it.

“Don’t bother,” she sneered, a strange grin on her face, “I’ll already know.” And with that she was gone: and I was too relieved to even notice the last sneer comment…

He was finally here.
