Today's the party...the big summer party. I still can't believe that summer is over. No more hanging out late at night or spending all our time together. We're all seniors now, no longer little kids. I'm currently sitting on my bed painting my nails, a black color. I've never put on any other color. A soft knock comes at my door.

"Come in." I say. The door opens and mom walks in.

"Are you almost ready for the party?" She looks around, more at me and puts her hands on her hip.

"Why aren't you ready?" I look down at what I'm doing and give her a cheeky smile.

"I'm doing my nails!" Mom laughs at me and goes to my closet. She opens the door, looking for clothes. She pulls out a dress that had small flowers on it and small straps. With a sweater jacket thing with stars on it. She's pulls out black boots.

"What's that for?" She looks at me like I've grown another head.

"What do you think silly! It's your outfit for the party." I make an ah sound and grab the clothes.

"It's really nice mom...I love it!" She smiles and pushes me into the bathroom.

"Go take a shower. You only have a few hours to get you ready." Getting off the bed I make my way to the bathroom. I take off my clothes and jump in the shower. I dance and sing as I let the water wash away and over my body. I step out to put a towel around me. I put on my matching lace black bra and underwear. I put on a big shirt to walk out of the bathroom. Mom stands there with a bunch of make-up and hair products on my bed.

"Whoa! Where do you keep all this stuff mom? It looks like Bed Bath & Beyond." She laughs, rolling her eyes at me she makes me sit down. She gets to work, pulling and plucking at me. By the end, I feel like a Barbie doll. I put on the dress and the other things. She grabs my shoulders to turn me around to face the mirror. I smile not surprise by the magic my mother can do with makeup. She gave my hair a side parting. Making it look natural and wavy. Not the usually frizzy mess. My eyes were smokey eyes and my lips a sweet pink color. I look down at my outfit and have to say.

Hot damn!

The sweet flowered dress was simple but with the blue star jacket and fishnet stockings, black rocker boots. Made the outfit look badass!

"Mom! You made me look hot!" I yell, pointing at the girl with big eyes. Mom chuckles at my words shaking her head.

"You were already hot. I just made it come out more." I blush at her words shaking my head. My phone sounds off. I grab it to see why.

Wes: Hey, we're going over to the party see you there, shorty.

Me: On my way bitch!

Wes: I am here, shorty.

Me: Ok, see you soon.

I type back to him. I say bye to mom and grab my board. I run out the house and throw it on the floor. I feel a very tiny drop of rain on my face, rolling my eyes I ride faster. If I don't hurry it'll rain on me and everything mom went through will go to waste.

++++

The rain pours harder as I reach her house. The house, lit with bright colors, music pounding loud throughout the house and down the street. A person sits on the porch, smoking something I don't want to think about it. Another set of people, a couple were making out on the side. Going as far as taking off some pieces of clothing. I myself stand in front of the house, not under the roof of the porch. I push away my wet strands of hair out of my face. I must look so stupid right now, completely soaked to the bone. I walk up the steps; not really caring that the person that was smoking stopped and looked at me.

"Wow! Man, love the look!" The stoner says making some animal noise. I give the dude a glare and he stops. I reach the door and open it. The sounds of the party booms ten times louder than before. People are spread everywhere. I could tell they were all out of it. Dancing, drinking, yelling loudly and someone is even throwing up on the side. My eyes more over to the makeshift dance floor and my heart stops cold. The guys were dancing, well more like grinding on each other's bodies. But that wasn't what made my heart stop. No, it was Wes dancing with Victoria.

That's it she's dead to me.

They're wrapped in each other arms, whispering stuff to each other. They're almost having sex right in the middle of everyone. My eyes focus on Wes and his happy face, they look so good together. He never makes that face with me. What comes next (I guess for me) was in slow motion. Victoria moves her head and sees me. She smirks with an evil glint in her eyes. She keeps her eyes on me as she leans into Wes to kiss him. Their lips touch and everything goes downhill for me. They start to make out, really getting into it. She watches me while they do that. I feel something very hot and fast go down my cold face.

Tears? No? This can't.

They pull away and once again they put their arms around each other. She smirks, mouthing the words

He's mine.

I swallow hard, slowly I turn around just as I do my eyes catch Dean standing in front of a girl with a beer in hand. We stare at each other, not saying a thing to each other. With one last look at them, I walk away from them all. I walk in a daze not really looking at anything for too long. It covers the tears that fall down my face. My house comes into view but if I go in there I know mom will ask me why I'm here and why I look like this. I walk over to the nears small shopping center. Restaurants, small stores, and bakeries make up the tiny shopping mall. It's a small open mall with a sitting area that many people can sit and eat, I sit down at one of the benches. I sit there to look up at the night sky. She won and I didn't even get to play. All Victoria had to do was smile up at him and put her boobs on his face. Maybe I'm just not good enough or cute. I had stupidly believed that when I walked in that party Wes would stop everything and fall love me. The drops of rain fall onto my face. Slow but a while later the rain stops and I look down.

It's time to go home.

I stand and walk back home. The dark house greets me with open arms. I step through the door and drop my board on the floor. The clock in the kitchen yells at me the time.

Crap! I forgot I have a game tomorrow. At least it's a night time.

I walk up the stairs to my room. Walking into the bathroom I look at myself in the mirror. I looked absolutely horrible. My hair no longer looked at wavy and nice now looks like scare crows. My makeup that was so perfect has now become black circles around my eyes.

No wonder that stoner kid made those animal noises. I look like a fucking raccoon!!

I take a shower and wash away all my sad feelings. I grab the towel from the rack and wrap it around myself. I sigh to my closet to get clothes to change into. My phone rings so I go to look at it. Wes name pops up and I run to it. I pick it up on the second ring.

"Hello! Wes! Are you ok?"

"I knew you'd answer." She snarls into the phone. My eyes go wide how the hell did Victoria get his phone.

"How did you get this phone!" I snap at her.

"Don't worry about that his happy right now in my bed." I cringe at the words she had said. Of course, she would tell me that. I huff and plop down on my bed.

"What do you want?" I ask in a bored tone.

"I know what you're doing Parker. But I have to tell you it won't work. It just a waste of your time." I don't say anything.

"Oh, come one. Don't act all coy, you know exactly what I'm talking about."

"I really have no idea what you are talking about." I say with no emotion.

"Fine, then I'll just do all the talking." Again I roll my eyes at her.

"I saw you guys at the mall that time and when you guys when to the makeup store. I knew what you guys were doing from the start. I have people in low places. Why don't you just give up? Wes is mine, he'll always be mine and there's nothing you can do about it. Just give up on your little plan." She sinkers at me. I hold the phone tighter in my hand so she knew from the start. From the start, she knew that I was trying to be a girl. That's why she won today. She ripped the rug right from under me. She made me believe that I had the upper hand here.

So she wants war, huh? Fine, I'll give her war!

"So I'll guess we just have to wait and see then. Just watch icky Vicky I won't give up! Hopefully, you won't cry!" I yell into the phone. I hang up and throw it on my bed.

Just you wait, Victoria. I'll show you! I'll show everyone!!
