A Bad girl for Christmas!

Learning to be a bad girl

(LOUISE’S POV)

It was a horrible day at school! People made fun of me everywhere I went. The worst part is not even having a single person to make me feel better. But even with the hell that was set loose in school, all I could dream of was Ben Davis. I had seen him in the halls at school today. He was wearing sexy tight jeans and a Leather jacket and he has some of his hair tucked behind his ears. So hot!! But I had dashes away quick before he noticed me.

I used to dream before of the first time Ben would know me, I would walk up to him and tell him how I’d feel, he would take my hand in front of everyone and kiss me so hard on the lips. But now he knew me from this ridiculous video. That was so f*****g embarrassing and it was all Sophia’s fault!

But with this Christmas thing, I could not bring myself to stop thinking of what Sophia had said. I got home from school exhausted and wishing that school was over for the holidays already.

I went in to the kitchen to pour myself some juice and there Sophia was crying at our table. I opened my eyes widely at her.

“Um….” I said.

She sat up in a start and then hurriedly cleaned her face with the napkin in her hand. Then she cleared her throat and raised her shoulder high.

“What?” She said to me.

“You are in my kitchen Sophia.” I said to her with my eyebrows raised at her in question.

“Well don’t worry I don’t want to be here.” She said packing up her things.

Sophia is the meanest! But I am not. I could see that she was not okay.

“What’s wrong Sophia?” I asked her kindly.

She paused and then rolled her eyes and for a minute I thought that she would not give me an answer.

“Well, my stupid i***t boyfriend who is also your neighbor and I broke up.” She said to me.

“Oh. You and Troy broke up?” I said to her. “I’m so sorry.”

I was not so surprised, this had to be the hundredth time they had broken up. They were most likely to come running back to each other soon.

“Oh, you don’t need to be sorry. You know why? I broke up with him.” She said and then she gave a laugh. “Yes that’s right. I was the one who broke up with that i***t. And what was I even thinking when I thought that he even deserved me. He is just some lame ass high school quarterback. I have college guys who are real men who want to be with me.”

I sighed. “Are you sure you’re okay?” I said to her tiredly.

“What are you? Deaf? Of course I am okay. The person who is not okay, is in fact your stupid neighbor. Because he is going to be crying and begging to get back with me but I will be with someone more matured than him.” She said and then she eyed me. “I was only crying because he said my hair looks like a dead black mop! You know what I am about my hair.”

With that she burst in to a brief round of fresh tears. Then she wiped her nose and eyes. Then she took a few breaths to calm herself down.

“I did not come to your house because I wanted to by the way.” She said to me with her nose upturned at me.

“I came here because I was at Troy’s house and then we started getting in to so I just came here. I don’t want to be seen driving in tears, you know?” She said to me.

I shrugged at her. There was no need for her to give me her reason being here. I mean I don’t like having her here because she is really mean but if she really needed a place to stay then of course she should stay at mine.

“Anyway.” Sophia said as she stood up and put on her dark shades before putting a bag over her shoulder. “I should get going. I need to find me a man, I can not let that i***t leave me without a date for Christmas.”

“But you broke up with him Sophia.” I said to her

“Yes I did. And what are you? His defender?” She said to me. “Anyway, what about you, should you not be thinking of ways to snap up that…. Billy boy of yours.”

“His name is Ben.” I said to her with a sigh.

She laughed. “Whatever. Look Louise, you should just go and meet him and tell him that you want to be with him.”

“I can not do that.” I said to her.

“You should.” Sophia said and then she took a glance at her wrist watch and sighed .

“You should have not released that video.” I said with tears in my eyes.

Sophia rolled her eyes as if I was being a drama queen. That hurt so much. Not even a sorry, as usual.

“I need to get going cuz. I have a date at the season restaurant.” She said to me

I rolled my eyes. It was no news to me. Sometimes I wondered if Troy Harris knew how much my cousin cheated on him.

Really, she did it throughout their relationship. Of course I knew about it because she lied a lot using my name so that our parents could let her go on countless dates and think she is only seeing one person and paying attention to school.

I have never told on her, or objected to any of what she has said. Maybe it’s because I was a little scared that Sophia would treat me even worse at a school if I told our parents that she lied when she said she was hanging out with me all the time.

Because of this, our parents think we are close and we are very far from that. All they think is that we have different taste but they would never imagine how much of a Bully Sophia is to me. It would break their hearts if they found out and that is one of the reasons why I have not told them.

Sophia left the house and drove away and I went back to my room happy to be alone. But sad at the same time. I could not stop thinking of Ben.

What if Sophia was right? What if he could have a soft spot for me during this holiday? What if he would like me if I should go to meet him and tell him how I feel? Of course I know that is not going to happen.

Ben could never like me with the way I dressed. With my baggy clothes and plain style and with my nerdy character. I don’t think so. I think it would have to take a lot of work for him to like me. He likes pretty and bad girls and I would have to become someone like that for him to like me.

But there was one problem, I had no idea how on earth to be a bad girl. I have not even a single idea on the topic. So that means that I needed help. But I have no friends . I have no one. Sophia would not help me and the only other people I talk to are teachers and geeks like me.

I even tried to speak to Anna Paring to help me out. She is on the cheerleading team and she is the only one of them who is not so rude. And she not so rudely told me that she was not a teacher on things like that. Well, I know it’s also because of the reputation I she grown with that viral video.

So who could teach me how to be a bad girl? Someone who knows girls and someone who knows boys too.

There was a knock on my door and one of the workers came to tell me that some one was here to see me. That is very odd. I don’t ever get his visitors. I went downstairs curious to see who it was and I was very surprised to see Troy Harris.

“You just missed Sophia.” I said to him.

He looked at me confused looking surprised that I brought that up.

“Sophia was here?” He said and then he shook his head as if he changed his mind about the question. “Nevermind. Look, I am here because I really need to talk to you. I am very sorry that I was rude and I know that you said no before but I promise that I can do whatever you want me to do. You don’t understand, I need help on the essay.” He said to me.

Oh that true! About the essay that I was supposed to tutor him on. Oh! That is why he is here.

“I’m sorry please.” He added.

It really was something to see Troy Harris in my house, begging. And he looked pretty honest too.

And then I thought of something, he said that he would do anything that I wanted.

Hmmm, I had an idea.
