Chapter One
Melany's POV
"Mel, hurry, we're going to be late!" My best friend Annie called from outside. It was our last day of school, our graduation day. She and our other friends, Jules and Tina had come to my house so we could go to the ceremony together.
Before anything else, let me give you a little background about myself. I'm Melany Faye Montero, the only daughter of my parents, Aurora and Miguel Montero. I'm half American, half Mexican. My parents spoil me a lot since I'm their only child. Despite being from a strong principled family, I have my freedom. You've met my bestie, Annie. She's fearless and doesn't tolerate nonsense from anyone. We're the same age. Oh, and I forgot to mention my age. Well, I turned eighteen a few months ago, and Annie turned eighteen a month later. I love her dearly; she's like the sister I never had. We do almost everything together. We fight, laugh, joke, and fool around. We're like the school's version of the Dolan twins. Annie always has my back, and I can rely on her for anything. I'm closer to her than Jules and Tina, whom I've known since childhood. We all still meet up for lunch and spend quality girls' time together sometimes.
Now, onto the current occasion, we're on our way to our much-anticipated graduation ceremony. We've been eagerly anticipating this day since our last vacation, so you can imagine our excitement and eagerness to graduate. We went shopping two weeks ago for our outfits and everything we'll need. It turns out both of us will be receiving special awards, so we made it our goal to look our very best. Did I mention that we're both geniuses? We both have high IQs and consistently made straight A's, making our parents and especially our teachers proud. We've decided to attend the same college next academic year, which means we have an entire year ahead of us to enjoy ourselves and do whatever we want. We have a couple of things planned out for the next year, but I won't talk about that now.
We arrived a bit late for the function due to traffic and my delay, which irritated my best friends because they weren't able to speak with their boyfriends before the program began. Of course, I also have a boyfriend, but we're not that serious. I mean, Cole is a nice and rich guy, but that's not what I want in a guy. I'm searching for the kind of Prince Charming I've seen in fairy tale movies. I have my own qualities I look for in my dream guy, and so far, I haven't found anyone who fits the bill. That's why I'm dating Cole, so I won't feel left out. All my friends are in relationships, and it would be frustrating and embarrassing to be alone. And one more thing, I love older guys. They seem more mature and know how to treat a woman well.
"Hey, Mel, are you coming or not?!" Jules bellowed, snapping me out of my thoughts as I realized I was standing alone at the entrance. How did I not realize that earlier? I quickly stauntered in and took my seat beside Annie, thankfully they placed our seats together. Each student had their name on a seat, and mine was next to Annie's. Shortly after, the program started. Everything went smoothly. Principal Dute gave his speech full of jokes and laughter, truly reflecting his personality. Then it was time for the awards. A few names were called before mine.
"Melany Faye Montero," the announcer called out. My heart skipped a bit hearing my name. I am a bit bashful when it comes to crowds. However I have no choice but to acknowledge it.
When I stood up, cheers and applause erupted from my best friends, Cole and his friends, and the entire congregation as I received the overall best student award and that of the valedictorian. In total, Annie and I received three awards each, while Jules and Tina received one each.
*****Time skip*****
After bidding farewell to our friends and classmates, whom we obviously wouldn't be seeing for a while, we headed to my house to prepare for an after-graduation party organized by Jules' parents. Let me tell you, Jules hosts the hottest and best parties. Although I'm not particularly fond of parties, I've been to a few, and compared to Jules', hers is exceptional. It wouldn't hurt to enjoy one last time with my friends before we go our separate ways to college. Would it?
When we arrived at my house, we hurried to get ready, knowing the party would start in an hour. I decided to step out of my comfort zone and dress very hot and sexy for once. Not to tease the boys, but simply to show them how confident and sexy I can be. I have a very great figure, a not-so-big ass and a C-cup bust. I usually hide them under baggy clothes, but not this time.
Tonight, I decided to let it all out. I chose a red bodycon dress that clung to my curves like a second skin, paired with six-inch red heels that made me taller than my usual 5 feet 4 inches. Hurriedly slipping into my dress, I glanced at the clock and realized we only had forty-five minutes until the party starts. The other girls were preoccupied with their own preparations. Jules and Tina were in my bathroom, fixing their hair, while Annie was meticulously applying makeup to her face.
I adorned myself with a set of jewelry I received from my mum on my birthday which was a gold necklace with matching earrings and bracelet. Additionally, I slipped on a silver ring, gifted to me by Annie on Valentine's Day last year, which boasted a diamond at its center. Annie, being more experienced in makeup, took charge of glamming me up. After some finishing touches and a final check in the mirror, we were ready to go, looking like the hottest girls in town. Annie was wearing a dress somewhat similar to mine, but hers was blue and slightly longer. Jules opted for a dark red mini dress that barely covered her backside, while Tina sported an above-the-knee skirt paired with a bra-like top that left little to the imagination.
"Wow, you girls look hot," I gasped when I laid eyes on them. They didn't reply, but just stood there looking at me as if I was a zombie.
"I'm so sure you're in for a lay tonight," Annie said to no one in particular but was staring at me.
"I can't believe this is you, baby girl. You look wonderful and sexy!" Tina exclaimed.
"My, oh my, Mel, you have an impressive body, and you've been hiding it all this time with those trashy clothes you wear? You're a goddess, and we love you. There's no way I'll allow you to hide this body from now on," Jules said, bringing tears to my eyes.
"I love you all, girls," I uttered as we shared a group hug, realizing we were running late.
The reaction of my friends didn't surprise me because it also surprised me when I saw myself in the mirror. The dress hugged my body perfectly, accentuating all my curves, and I couldn't help but notice how huge my ass looked. The heels added height to my stature, and the heavy yet beautiful makeup Annie had applied made me look more mature, like a twenty-six-year-old. For the first time in my life, I felt incredibly good about myself.
"Here we go!" Tina shouted out of excitement, and we all headed out, ready to enjoy the night.
