Keira
The rest of the morning was uneventful. At lunchtime, I find the usual spot where I sit. Jaime comes over and plops herself down. “Keira, I have an idea, do you trust me?” She says.
“Maybe, it depends on what the idea is,” I reply back to her.
“Ok, look I need to take measurements of you. I know you said you can’t afford clothes that really look good on you, but I know a little secret, but you have to trust me and give me $50.” Jaime said.
“Whoa, Jamie that was a lot of words you threw out there. You want $50, why?” I gasp out, Jaime never just demands money so I’m wondering what game she is trying to play here.
“I don’t want to spoil this, so just trust me and think of the $50 as an investment. I know you just babysat your neighbor kid and you have $50 for babysitting.” She replied as she took a bite of her salad.
“I do trust you, you are my friend and you always stick up for me, but I just can’t give you my $50 without a reason behind it,” I tell her.
Jaime, takes a big breath and huffs it out, and states “If I tell you, you will get scared and say no!” She pushed her salad aside.
“What is this you say that you need to see first to see the results? I can’t show you the results until after it is done. So please trust me! I will say this, the $50 is only for step 3, we can do steps 1 and 2 now and step 3 has to be done in 2 weeks.”
“Steps 1 and 2? You have me so confused right now Jamie…. I start to say when suddenly I feel something cold running down my back and I shriek from it.
Laughter is coming behind me and I turn to see Colt, one of Adam and my brother's friends, howling with laughter. Kevin walks up behind him asking what was funny?
“Your sister was thirsty so we decided she needed some water,” Colt replied. Kevin shakes his head and says “That so? Kiera, next time just go to the water fountain.” And he walks off laughing.
“For once, I would just like to have one day where those assholes leave me alone,” I say to Jaime. I now have to take my button-up blouse off, leaving me only in my tank top. The blouse got the majority of the water, so the tank top was my only choice right now to wear.
Great, just what I need to walk around half-naked.
As I took the blouse off, Jaime says, “Kiera, you really do have a nice body, I would kill for your curves, you shouldn’t try to hide them, you should show them off.”
“Well, you're in luck because today I have no choice in hiding them. I have to be on full display because of those idiots!” I huff out.
I am so mad they did this! I do not want to parade around with my boobs on full display in a tank top with everyone seeing how fat I am.
“Stop worrying what people think. If someone says something to you then make a remark right back at them. The ones that make a remark about your curves, trust me they are jealous and would love to have your curves.” Jaime says.
“So you are saying Adam wants my curves, that’s why he teases me?”
“If Adam saw your curves, I think he would crave them.” Jaime laughed.
I rolled my eyes at Jaime and said “yeah whatever.”
So do you agree with my 3 step idea? I’m not moving from this table until I get a yes from you.” She states while crossing her arms in front of her.
“Ok you win, I will do this 3-part plan and give you the money, let’s go.”
The truth is I agreed to do her plan because I’m scared of losing Jaime. I know she won’t do anything to hurt me, but I’m afraid I would lose her friendship.
It hurt when I lost Kevin as my best friend all those years ago. I just don’t want to feel that again. Plus Jaime is my only friend.
