Before Happily Ever After Story Five Part Two

"Well I would love that but we scheduled the appointment with only two people. So it wouldn't be very nice to bring more than that" I tell them quickly with a show of regret. Although I'm not regretting it at all. Shhhh.
"It's just two more people. I'd doubt they will care. How about this? We'll meet you there and if it is a problem, we'll leave. Promise" Sophi says to us. I look toward Lily for help. We both have to tread carefully since Janey is a little sensitive.
"Well the problem is that we don't know how long this is going to take. You don't know how Cori gets when she's shopping for something important. It could take hours of your day. We'd hate to cause a burden for you in case you guys have other plans" Lily explains to them and I nod my head in agreement. It ain't pretty when I'm in a serious shopping mode.
"Seriously, it's not a problem. We didn't have anything important planned anyway. Please, please, please let us come help you" Janey begs me. Ugh. I knew it was going to come to this. How am I supposed to tell her no and hurt her feelings?
"Okay fine. You guys can come. My car is near the south lot. So drive there in like five minutes?" I tell them and they smile in excitement.
"Thank you so much. Your are the best. I'm so excited" Sophi gushes as she crushes me into a hug. I try to smile back but I doubt it's very believable. She and Janey walk inside to get their purses and car keys.
"Well they sure are persistent" Lily says as we continue on our way. Well no duh Lily.
"I noticed. I can't believe they are coming. This already turning out bad" I tell her with a huff. Bad feeling is getting so much worse.
"Not with that attitude. Look, I know that they probably won't be a lot of help but try to look past it okay? We can always book another time with just us" Lily suggests as we reach my car. If only it would be that easy.

"So do you know what style of dress you would like to try on?" The sales attendant, Amy, asks me in the boutique that we are currently in. It's not huge or anything but they do have a nice selection. It's pretty nice for a college town anyway.
"Kind of? I really like fit and flare dresses. Although I'm not sure how I want the flare part or even what material. I'm not one hundred percent set on anything to be honest" I say as I look at the dresses on display. Lily, Sophi, and Janey are already taking a look at what the store has. Go figure.
"No problem. I'll pick some dresses to start with and then we can go from there" Amy tells me with an encouraging smile as she sets off behind a door. I sigh as I make my way toward the others.
"Look at this dress, Cori. Isn't it pretty?" Janey asks me while holding up a ball gown styled dress. Eek! So NOT my style at all.
"It's beautiful, but it's not really me" I tell her as I start to look through the racks too. I'm beginning to get overwhelmed. God, there are so many to choose from. How will I find the perfect one?
"But you haven't even tried it on. It would look amazing on you" Janey insists. I try not to roll my eyes. Of course it would look nice on me. Doesn't mean I'll love the dress.
"Okay. I'll try on a dress each of you picks for me. Only one though since Amy is bringing more out too" I tell them. Lily gives me an are-you-serious look. She was hoping to choose more than one for me.
"Not you" I mouth back to her silently to calm her down. She smiles satisfied. Lily takes her maid of honor duties very seriously. Amy comes back with five gowns and motions for me to follow her into the changing room.
"So I found five dresses that I think you might like to try on" she says hanging the gowns onto a rack. At first glance, they are really nice.
"Can I try my friends picks first?" I ask her. I just want to get there's out of the way and done with.
"Sure! Let me go get them" Amy says cheerfully. Please let this go smoothly.

Guess what? It didn't go smoothly. In fact, it was the opposite of smooth. It went up, down, and side to side about three times over. It was so bad that it gave me a headache. My poor head. I can't even take anything for it since I ran out the other day. I'm currently in bed trying to nap in the hopes that it will distress me. I start to doze off when my cell begins to vibrate. Ugh. Who's bothering me now? Oh, it's Eric! Happy dance time.
"Hey angel" Eric says after I answer. I so missed hearing his voice.
"Hey handsome" I say back as I snuggle back into my bed with a yawn.
"What are you up to? You sound tired baby girl. Dress shopping go okay?" he asks me over the phone.
"No! It went absolutely terrible. I mean the worst experience ever. It got me no where for a dress" I say with a huff. It was a big fat waste of time.
"What happened?" Eric asks me. Boy, where do I start?
"Janey and Sophi is what happened. They pretty much invited themselves along. It just went down there from there" I tell him while rolling my eyes.
"Really? So why didn't you just tell them they couldn't come?" He asks next. My goodness, he's clueless.
"Eric, you don't tell girls that are your friends they aren't invited to something. You know Janey is on the sensitive side. I didn't want to hurt both their feelings and start that drama" I explain. And I know that's rich coming from me since I'm a drama magnet.
"You could have told them it was an appointment and it have only a certain amount of people" Eric says. As if I didn't think of that myself, Einstein.
"I told them that but they kept insisting. They had all these excuses and repeated please a million times" I tell him. Eric laughs slightly.
"Excuses, huh?" He says.
"Literally tons. They just kept coming and coming no matter what Lily or I said" I say as I shake my head. I should get some tips from them. At least theirs seemed to work.
"I'm sorry, but you do hear the irony in this right?" Eric asks while laughing outright now. Okay, so it's not everyday that I'm the one on the other side of the excuse train; as Eric likes to call it.
"Alright. Laugh it up big boy. You should know that anything can happen with me. So let me continue on with my story" I remind him as I try to hold back my own smile.
"Okay continue baby" he tells me with a smile laced through his voice.
"Okay soooo I tried on about eight dresses total while I was there. the worst of the pick had to have been Janey's. She wanted me to try on a BIG poofy ball gown. It was huge and was so heavy. I probably tripped on that thing fifty times; No lie. And you know those cakes that you can buy at the grocery store that have the Barbie doll with a dress made out of disgusting frosting? That's what I looked like." I tell him. Eric starts laughing again.
"I'm sure you still looked cute in it. Are you sure you're not exaggerating just a little, angel?" He asks me. Do I ever exaggerate? Wait, don't answer that.
"No, not even a little bit it. I pinky promise you. It was that bad!" I insist.
"So I'm going to guess that it was a no...?" Eric asks me. Well, no duh.
"A big fat hell no and it only got worse from there" I say with a sigh.
"Worse? How is that even possible" he exclaims amused.  
"I know. I couldn't believe it myself. As I tried on more dresses, the others started to disagree on which was dress was better than the other and why. It got really heated. Like raised voices heated" I tell Eric. I thought that Lily was going to start a fight when Sophi and Janey hated the dress she picked out for me. It got a little too intense. And you know I love me some excitement in my life.  
"I honestly can't picture the three of them doing any of that" Eric says. There's a first for everything. He should be the first to know about that.
"What can I say? Weddings plus shopping can bring out the worst in people. You'll also be proud of me. I was actually the mature one out of the group. I told them to settle down. It's not worth fighting over a dress I'm not even going to buy" I say. That's right, people. I was the mature one for once. I'm telling you, there really is a first time for everything.
"Now I definitely can't picture that. You? Mature? Who would have thought....?" He says with a laugh.
"Shut up. I do listen to your wonderful words of advice from time to time" I tell him with a smile. Especially when I'm getting my butt soundly spanked.
"Glad to hear it" Eric tells me. I sigh again.
"It just sucks that I didn't find a dress and have to keep looking" I say while staring at the darkening ceiling. It's getting dark outside now.
"You'll find one. I know you will and you will look amazing in it. Don't lose hope, okay baby?" he says to me. Ugh. But what if I don't?
"Sure, Eric" I say back unconvinced.
"I promise you, you will. So are you still coming to stay with me next weekend ?" Eric asks me. Of course! Why ask such a dumb question? Only seeing Eric on the weekends every two weeks seriously cuts back on my cuddling time.
"Duh Eric. I wouldn't miss it" I tell him and at the same time my phone beeps letting me know someone new is trying to call me. I see that it's my dad. I'll talk to him later.
"Just checking. You know I miss you little angel" he says.
"I miss you more" I say sadly. Don't cry, Cori. Don't cry. I always get emotional when I'm stressed and tired. My phone beeps and my dad's name flashes across the screen. Grrrr. He is so persistent.
"Eric, baby, let me call you back. My dad keeps calling. So let me see what he wants" I tell him.

Before Happily Ever After - Story Five Part One

“I-I loved your d-dress. You looked s-so pretty in it” Devon tells me as she flips to the page where I am wearing my wedding dress. I look down into the album on her lap and glance at the picture and smile. Yeah, I’ll admit it. I looked hella good in my dress. The best I’ve ever looked honestly. The dress just fit my body perfectly and it was just so….ME.
“Thanks. I absolutely adored it. It couldn’t have been any better” I say as I smile thinking about that night. Everyone loved it too; especially Eric. His opinion was the only one that really mattered to me. Well okay, everyone else’s did too. But only because of the huge hassle it was picking it out. Ugh. It was probably the most stressful event of the entire wedding process. And I went through a ton of them; especially my poor butt. Between my friends, my mom and dad, and everyone’s mother, they all wanted a say in my dress. If it weren’t for Eric, I probably would have strangled them or thrown my heels at one of them. No wait, that last part actually happened. Yeah, it’s quite a story.
                                     
"I'm so excited to FINALLY go dress shopping! I thought you were never going to go" Lily says as we walk out of our dorm room. Yeah, you read that right. Me not wanting to go shopping am something that seems impossible. I love shopping. I live and breathe for it. When I first got engage to Eric, I couldn't wait to buy my wedding dress. However, as time went on, I couldn't decide on a kind of dress since there are literally a bazillion styles, materials, and accessories to go along with each. I got overwhelmed on what to choose. I have to find the perfect dress for my wedding; literally perfect. The kind of dress that people stop and stare at amazed.  The kind of dress you that future brides wish they could pull off. The kind of dress that Eric would love at first sight. And I wasn't finding that dress which seriously pissed me off. So I kept pushing it to the back of my mind, then other wedding preparations kept grabbing my attention. So imagine Lily's surprise when I continued to avoid finding a dress. Her shopaholic friend not wanting to go shopping. She thought I was sick or something.
"Well I can't keeping pushing it back. So I have to find a dress sooner or later,” I say with a sigh as I check that I have my phone, wallet, and keys in my purse. It's kind of a habit Eric installed into me. If you can catch me drift. Lily locks our door and snorts.
"Wow. Well aren't you jumping with excitement right now,” she says sarcastically. God, I'm so so not in the mood for her sassiness. I roll my eyes.
"Shut up miss sassy. You know why I'm not looking forward to this" I tell her as we head down the hall. If bitched about it a million times to her, even when she didn't want to hear about it.  She better know! Hmph.
"Relax. You'll find the dress. I know you will. Let's just go today to look and if you find one, then great. If not, no pressure. Okay?" Lily tells me as we get into the elevator. No pressure? Ha. Easy for her to say. She found her maid of honor dress ages ago.
"Okay. But I have a feeling this is going to be a pain in the butt. And you know how I get about my feelings" I tell her. I didn't mention how my feelings are usually bad. Like when I am about to get my behind toasted. Nonetheless, my feelings are usually right.
"Whatever you say, Cori" Lily says laughing.
"Laugh all you want, but mark my words, girlie" I warn her as she has an amused smile on her face. If she doesn't want to believe in my feelings, that's fine. They're never wrong. Okay, they're wrong occasionally. Or a little more often than that, I swear. So my feelings are sometimes skewed, a little. No biggie. Lily and I exit the elevator and walk out toward my car when we run into Janey and Sophi on the way there.
"Hey, guys. Where are you headed?" Sophi asks us with a smile. Uh oh. Bad feeling getting stronger.
"Shopping" I tell them as I block the sun with my hand. The weather is finally starting to warm up after a long winter. I thought I'd never live to see a warm day again.
"Oh yeah? Can we come too? It feels like we've hardly seen you two in forever,” Janey asks brightly. Oh great. Lily and me give each other a quick glance. Look, you know I care greatly about the both of them greatly. I don't really want their help find a dress. It's just that they don't have the best.... fashion sense. At least one that is close to mine.
"Well you know how busy school is for all of us. And you know Lily's on the debate team and in the marketing club and I teach classes and work at the Rec center during the week" I explain to them. Yeah, I had to get a part time job a while ago after my dad cut me off for a short period after one of my failed "plans". It was honestly one for the books. It really was that bad. My butt still clenches in pain after remembering it.
"Right. And we also go visit our guys when we can and there is so much to do for the wedding. There's honestly no time left for anything,” Lily adds in agreement.
"Well you have time to go out right now,” Janey says pointedly. Sheesh, she's acting as if we're making up excuses.
"We're actually going shopping for my wedding dress" I say, looking at Lily in regret. Both Janey and Sophi's eyes light up at the news.
"Really? Can we come too? Please! I would so like to help you find one" Sophi asks us full of hope. Janey nods her head in agreement. Sigh. How should I let them down easy?


SORRY!

I deserve to be spanked. I honestly do. I am totally sorry for leaving my stories hanging, not writing for a year, and being MIA in general. I do read the comments that are posted and I am glad that there are people who enjoy reading about Cori and Bailey. So again, I am really sorry. I am going to post a part of the next part of Before Happily Ever After. Its probably going to be the final story, but I haven't fully decided yet. Its short since I have to get my writing juices flowing again. When I post again, it will be longer or even finished. Thanks again to everyone who reads my stories.

Soccer Foes Story 4 Part Three


Shane's POV:
I instantly pull away from Becca the moment that she kisses me.
"Becca, what the fuck?" I ask her as I step away from her for distance. God, I hope that Bailey did not just see that.
"Whoa I was not expecting that to happen. Am I missing something here?" Alex asks with a grin as he comes to stands next to me. I roll my eyes. Why does he have to always be so damn nosy?
"No! Becca, why'd you kiss me?" I ask her while glancing around to see if I could spot my little babe anywhere. I don't see Bailey with her group of friends, so she either had left earlier to go back to her cabin or she saw the kiss and left. I really hope it's the first choice but I have a dreadful feeling that it's the latter. That would be too easy.
"Because Shane I was trying to get your attention" Becca says with a smirk as she walks up to me and runs her hand down my chest; or tries to anyway. I step away from her again.
"My attention? What kind of attention involves you kissing me?" I ask her as I roll my eyes. I'm pretty sure I know what she is trying to do.
"Okay so it may seem sort of desperate but I've been trying to get you interested in me again for the past three weeks. You weren't noticing any of my previous hints at all" Becca says with an angry pout. Oh great. Here we go again.
"How many times do I have to tell you that we are never getting back together. Ever" I say emphasizing the ever part. It's been over six months since our breakup and I have no desire to rekindle it.
"Why? Is it because you’re with that troublemaker now? And don't you dare deny it either. I've seen you two together outside of practice a lot this past week" My ex tells me as she folds her arms together and gives me a smug look. I narrow my eyes at her. She's really pissing me off right now. Beside me, Alex drops his mouth in shock.
"You hooked up with someone and you didn't even tell me?" He says with a look of betrayal on his face. I roll my eyes and choose to ignore him.
"So you've been spying on me? Nice Becca" I tell her with sarcasm laced through my voice. Yeah, she's done some pretty sketchy things in the past but this is a new low; even for her.
"Don't act like I'm the crazy one here. How can you date someone like Bailey? You can do so much better" Becca tells me. Oh please, don't give me that. I make sure that my face doesn't give off that her words are getting to me. Just because she is jealous doesn't give her a right to think Bailey is beneath her. My baby is far, far from that.
"Your with Bailey now?!? Dude, I'm your best friend. How could you keep this from me? I should have been the first to know!" Alex says sounding hurt that I did not mention that I'm with Bailey now. Speaking of which, I got to go find her. I'm pretty sure she saw Becca and I's kiss unfortunately. Who knows how long it will take for me to convince her that it was all Becca fault and a huge mistake? She'll probably accuse me of being cliché. Again, I roll my eyes.
"Dude, don't take it so personally. We just wanted to keep it between ourselves until the camp ended" I say to calm him down. Did it work? Nope, of course not.
"So what? I can keep a secret man" Alex says still offended.
"Stop it Alex. You can barely keep a secret. You have to admit that you sort of have a big mouth" Spencer tells him. Sort of? That's the understatement of the year.
"That's so not true and you don't seem very surprised of the news......did you already know?" Alex asks him getting even more upset. Spencer just shrugs. Thanks Spencer, you could have said no. It will save us all from hearing Alex bitch about it for weeks. Alex narrows his eyes at him.
"Okay who else knew about this already?" Alex asks looking around at the rest of us. There were about eleven leaders still here. No one raised their hand until Emily, one of Becca's friends, raised her hand and said,
"Well I did and I just have to say that I agree with Becca. You can totally do so much better than Bailey, Shane."
You know, I never did like Emily.
"Whatever, Emily. You don't even know Bailey personally" P. K. says defending my girlfriend. That's right. My boys got my back.
"Like you do?" Emily says back to him in a pose matching Becca's.
"No but Shane says that she is pretty chill and..." P. K. tells her but stops talking when he notices Alex staring at him.
"You knew too? How did P. K. know before me? How is that even possible?" Alex says flinging his arms in the air in astonishment. P. K. looks offended by his comment and then argues with Alex about how he can keep a secret unlike how Alex can. Spencer and a few other of our buddies get into an argument with Emily and some of Becca's friends about how judgmental and hypocritical they are. There are arguments happening all around me. If it were under different circumstances, I would actually find it kind of funny.
"See the mess you caused Becca. This wouldn't be happening right now if you hadn't have kissed me" I tell her shaking my head and start to walk toward the wooded trails. I really need to get out of here and find Bailey. I didn't make it very far because Becca had come to stand in front of me.
"It's MY fault? It's yours actually. If you didn't keep secrets then no one would be arguing right now" she says. I knew she would somehow blame me. It's never Becca's fault.
"Don't get it twisted, Becca. It's not my fault, it's yours. If you had minded your own business, no one would even know I was seeing Bailey" I say and we continued to argue with each other for a good ten minutes. We all probably would have continued on like this too if a high-pitched whistle had not been blown by the fire. All of us instantly turned toward where the sound came from and was greeted by a furious camp director with five soaking wet campers behind her; one of which was Bailey.

Soccer Foes Story 4 Part Two


If I don't do something quick, I'm not going to last. Think fast Bailey. Soccer angels, where you at? Whoever is keeping me under water is pushing down on my shoulders. Hmm, I think I know what to do. I wrap my hands around the arms of the maniac above me and pull them into the water as well. Finally, I can breathe fresh air. For a second there, I thought I was a goner. I submerge from the lake and swim toward the dock while grasping for air.
"What the fuck?" I cry out between breaths and try to lift myself onto the platform. The person who was holding me down was none other than number one enemy: Reddy. I should have none it was him. Stupid jerk tried to kill me. I manage to get back onto the dock and see that Reddy isn't alone. Surprise surprise. His little posse is with him too. By now, Reddy has gotten back onto the dock as well. I wipe my soaking hair way from my face and glare at the THEM.
"Are. You. Crazy? You almost killed me!!" I exclaimed loudly in disgust. This was low; even for Reddy.
"No, we were just having some fun" Reddy says with a stupid grin on his stupid face. Paris, Nicole, and Reddy's BFF are standing beside Reddy with smirks on their faces as well. They think they look so badass but they just look pathetic and a little bit creepy.
"Fun!? Killing someone is considered fun to you? You guys are even crazier than I first thought. I thought you were just stupid and immature, but now you all are stupid, immature, and mentally deranged. Actually, now that I am thinking about it, I'm so not surprised by the last part" I tell them while rolling my eyes. Why didn't I notice it sooner?
"Ohhhh, that was a nice comeback fat ass. You sure showed us" Reddy says sarcastically. His little posse snickers with him. I roll my eyes and fold my arms together. What a twit. He is so full of himself. Just because Shane thinks he is great doesn't mean he actually is. Hmph. Another reason why Shane sucks.
"Look, Tyler's right. We were just trying to have some fun with you. We wanted to cheer you up considering how you might be feeling a little down and probably embarrassed" Paris tells me just as smug as Reddy.
"Down and embarrassed? Why would I be feeling like that?" I ask nonchalantly, even though she's sort of right.
"Yeah, down because Shane was kissing Becca and embarrassed to think you actually had a chance with him" Nicole informs me while laughing. The rest of them join in with her. She is just hilarious, isn't she? I'm dying with laughter over here.
"I tried to warn you Bailey. You had no shot with Shane. He was only being nice and felt bad for you. That is why he even gave you a shot in the first place. Not because he liked you but because he felt sorry for you. It was so obvious to everyone but you" Reddy tells me with a sympathetic look on his face. Grrr, if only I could swipe that look of his face. I actually just might do it. Time to break out the nun chucks, Bailey.
"Really? It was obvious to everyone? How the hell did you even know that we were together?" I ask him. I thought that Shane and I did a pretty good job in hiding our new relationship; well, our ex relationship that is.
"Because we have been watching and following you stupid. We also are friends with some of the leaders who tell us things as well. That is how we know for a fact that you were the person to tell on me. I can't believe you tried to deny it" Reddy tells me as he walks closer toward me. So they have been the reason why I always feel someone is always near me. They are just keep confirming my stance that they are crazy and need some serious help. Their brains need to be check out ASAP. Who follows people? Crazy people that's who.
"For the last time, I did not tell on you. I would have come owned it to you a long time ago. And exactly which leaders are you friends with?" I ask them suspiciously. Becca is definitely one but who else? It could be any of the leaders, even Shane since he can't be trusted anymore.
"Like we would tell you" Paris scoffs. I guess I will have to take matters into my own hands. My nun chucks are about to be unleashed.
"Oh yeah? Well I guess since you won't tell me, we can end the conservation right here and start having some fun" I tell them as I walk toward the posse. Reddy gives me a confused look as I stand right in front of him.
"Paybacks a bitch" I tell him with a smirk of my own and kick him hard in the balls. He instantly groans in pain and almost falls to the ground but not before I push him into the lake. Paris and Nicole gasp as they look at Reddy and his BFF (I should really remember his name) jumps in to save him.  
"What did you do that for?" Paris yells at me. I grin and shrug.
"Having some fun. Just like you did to me" I tell her with satisfaction. That felt so good to do that to Reddy. He had that coming ever since I met him at the beginning of camp.
"That was not fun at all. You say we are crazy, but you are the crazy one" Paris says getting up into my face. And then she does something that no one should ever do unless they want to unleash beast within. The bitch slapped me across the cheek. We freeze for a second. By this time, Reddy's BFF is trying to pull Reddy onto the dock with Nicole's help. However, they are having a difficult time getting him up here since he is still trying to clutch the place where I kicked him. Paris has a satisfied smirk on her face as she looks at me. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. If she thought I was crazy before, she doesn't want to see me now. I slap her back with a harder hit then give her a hard push to the ground and got on top of her. And let's just say that I gave her a total beat down. I will give her some credit though. She was fighting back just as much as I was fighting her. I don't even know how long we were going at each other. All I know is that I suddenly hear a loud high pitched whistle that causes Paris and I to freeze and look up. There standing above us is a pissed Ms. Barbie, the camp director.

Cheesy Chihuahua – Mini Story Part 2


"Okay guys, there's still fifteen minutes left of class. Stay with me please" Ms. Harding, my History teacher, shouts over us to be heard. Ugh. These fifteen minutes are going to go by so slowly too. Especially since it's the class before lunch. I didn't even eat breakfast since I was too busy copying my bio and Spanish homework in the library. There is like a group of us just sharing answers. It's like a study shesh but not really. Shhhh, don't tell Shane. It's our secret.
"Since it's almost the end of the month, an extra credit opportunity is available. If you want to participate, you are more than welcome. I want a one-page paper about the importance of synonyms and antonyms. Provide different examples of words and their meanings. I want the paper on my desk by the end of the week. Remember, no late work is accepted. There is ten minutes left of class. Pack up and talk QUIETLY please" Ms. Harding tells us. I roll my eyes. Quietly? Yeah sure. I close my notebook and jam it into my purple backpack.
"Hmph. Did you see the note that Greyson threw me during class?" Amber huffs sitting down on the floor next to my desk. We used to sit by each other but we got separated. Something about talking too much in class. Whatever. Ugh.
"Nope. What'd it say? Let me guess, bow down to me?" I ask.
"Ha, no!!! A picture of a stick figure girl that had loser above it and then a stick figure guy with a crown and winner above him. Grrrr. He pisses me off so much. I'll show those pricks a thing or two about whose boss" Amber grumbles while picking up her cell phone. I roll my eyes. He's a jerk but I'm not sure why he bothers her so much. I guess Greyson's just one of those people for her. Trust me, I have too many of those kinds of people on my bad list. The cafeteria lady on Wednesday mornings who gives everyone the evil eye, my step family (obviously), my dentist who always pokes my gums and makes then bleed, the-
"I got it! I know exactly what I'm going to do for my extra credit. Look at the different synonyms for the word high horse" Amber says shoving her phone in my face.
"Geeze, I wonder how you thought up such a word?" I say in fake amazement I grab her phone and look at the screen. I saw the words arrogant, asshole, conceded, egotistical, cheesy Chihuahua. What the heck?? I click on the last word to see what it means. According to urban dictionary, cheesy Chihuahua is a loud, obnoxious person. Well that fits Greyson and his posse. I guess I learned something new today. I can't wait to test Morgan about this word. She thinks she is a spelling bee champion or something.
"Let me tell you girlfriend, it wasn't intentional. Just kidding, it was. I actually looking for ways to get people off there high horse when I saw the online dictionary" Amber says laughing slightly. I hand her the phone back before Ms. Grumpy pants Harding sees it and gives us another detention. So what I don't need; especially a sore ass for being late to practice.

"So where you successful in finding 'ways'?" I ask as the bells rings. Finally!! I need something yummy in my tummy. Um, why did I just say that? Never again, Bailey.
"Oh yeah! You and the girls are soooo going to help me with it too" Amber says with a smirk. I wonder what she has planned???"So what exactly do you have planned?" Morgan asks Amber as we are changing for practice.
"Okay so if you haven't noticed, but Greyson and his dumb soccer buddies totally think they are the bomb. So I want to knock them off their high horse asses!" Amber says slamming her fist into her palm in devotion.
"How are you going to do that?" Cassie asks next. Seriously, I want that answer too. Amber wouldn't tell me while we were getting lunch and I couldn't continue to ask when we sat down for other reasons. Cough cough Shane and his friends cough. Soooo I'm more than ready to hear what she has to say. Patience isn't a strong point of mine.
"I was thinking that we have to do something that will come at a huge surprise. So how about this: we pelt them with a ton of water balloons. They won't even know what's coming" Amber says with a smirk while thinking about her plan. The locker room is silent before I burst out laughing. Cassie and a few other girls soon join me. That's her big plan?? Amber frowns.
"What's so funny?" She asks with a scowl.
"I'm sorry. I'm not trying to be mean but I was expecting something a little more...." I trail of trying to find the right word. Dangerous? Maybe. Fun? Nah. Badass? Hmmm.
"Worth it. Considering that whoever does go along with this "plan" of yours might end up ticking off certain people" Morgan says looking at me. I glare and stick my tongue out at her; in which she returns at me. Yeah, we're real mature sometimes.
"I was going for the words awesome and creative. But thanks for your input Morgan" I say the last part sarcastically. She just grins.
"I agree with those two. If it's going to happen, it better be a lot better and worth it. I ain't getting my butt spanked for nothing" Cassie says putting her thick black hair into a bun. Amber scoffs.
"Do you guys have any better ideas?" Ambers asks us. You just asked the wrong person, honey. There is no soccer angels holding me back.
"Actually I do. I definitely like the part of having something put on them as they are least expecting it. But it needs to be a little more secretive" I tell them.
"And something other than water" Cassie adds grinning. I nod my head in agreement.
"Also, it needs be done by something that they least expect" Morgan adds. I look at her in surprise. She usually doesn't participate in these kinds of shenanigans.
"You’re going to do it?" I ask her. She shrugs.
"I can't stand Greyson's bloating. He thinks he is all that because he is a freshman playing in varsity. Big whoop" she replies. I can't believe the other girls are getting this worked up about this. I say flip them the bird and move on. BUT.... I can't let a good mean plan pass by me. Heehee. It's like a can't resist.
"I agree which is the perfect reason to do this. This is going to be sweet" Amber says excitedly.
"I don't think you guys should be doing this. It's mean" Lola comments from the corner. Sigh. There is always that one person.
"Lola, that's the point" I say while rolling my eyes. Where not doing this to gain brownie points, dumbo.
"Come on Lola, live a little. Its a harmless joke" Nelly says. Lola doesn't seem so sure. She bites her lip and looks away. Well, it's her loss if she doesn't want to do it with us. We couldn't continue with planning because Becca and Tiffany walked in.
"Girls, let's go!! Coach is ready and waiting for us in the field" Becca tells while clapping her hands. We all stand up from our lounging positions and head for the door. I guess we'll have to talk details later.

Cheesy Chihuahua - Mini Story Part 1


"Hey, do you guys want to hear some soccer jokes?" Lola asks us as we're resting after just finishing practice. Most of the girls don't even respond. Becca and Tiffany roll their eyes. Morgan shakes her head. Amber and I answer her with a definite NO. I'm tired, hot and sweaty thanks to Becca the Hun working us like crazy. I'm not in a mood for anymore of Lola’s lame jokes.
"Okay so what tea do footballers drink?" She asks us as if we all said yes.
"PenalTea!! Get it penalty" Lola tells us as she laughs. Geez, that was hysterical. I'm dying from laughter over here. You notice my sarcasm right? Cool, just checking.
"Okay here's another one. Why did Cinderella get kicked off the soccer team?........Because she kept running away from the ball!!" She says laughing even more. I'll admit that one was a little funny. Oh no what is happening to me? I'm so exhausted that I'm laughing at corny jokes now. Snap out of it Bailey.
"Here's another one-" Lola starts but is cut off, thankfully.
"That's enough jokes for today, Lola. Hit the showers girls and rest up. Our next game is coming up in a few days and I want to win it for sure. The boys have won their last two games while we haven't. It's embarrassing" Becca tells us as she stands up to bitch us out. Wah wah wah. What a baby.
"It's not a competition Becca. Plus the teams they played were so easy. The boys hardly had to work for it" Amber says. Ain't that the truth. It was a breeze. Like the riding in a convertible with the wind blowing in your hair breeze.
"Yeah but don't tell the boys that or else they'll get defensive" Taylor, another teammate says. There was a lot of mhmm's that followed her statement. Let's just say that a some individuals on the boys team are....bragging douches. Ugh.
"Whatever, they still won. Be ready for practice tomorrow at 430 and don't be late" Becca says while rolling her eyes and grabbing her gear. I roll my eyes and pick up my backpack and head for the locker rooms. Honestly, who made her team captain? She is the worst! Okay and I'll admit that some of my feelings are from her being Shane's ex girlfriend. But still, why, why, WHY??
"Ugh" Amber says bumping into me playfully as she and Morgan walk on either side of me.
"Seriously. Double ugh!" I say while drinking from my water bottle. We make our way into the building and are instantly greeted with the cool air conditioning.
"Shoot, I got to hurry up and shower. I have a study session with PK in the library" Morgan says running off to her locker. I smirk. They sure have been hanging out a lot...
"Oh great. Here comes dickhead Greyson" Amber says rolling her eyes. One of the "braggers" on the boys’ team.
"Well look, here comes the losers. Make way for the winners out of the soccer teams" Greyson says chuckling with a few of his friend. I'm honestly bored of his remarks now. Even though they still get to me a little. Okay a more than a little...... Fine A LOT!
"Whatever, keep dreaming. You guys only won two games. Not a championship" Amber says with her hands on her hips. Why does she even bother with them. I shake my head as I continue to my locker. I guess the boys are done with practice too. Hmm, I wonder where Shane is. My cover eyes are suddenly covered.
"Guess who?"
I instantly smile. I guess that answers my question about Shane.
"Hmmm, let me guess. My Prince Charming?" I ask with a bit of a laugh.
"Good answer" Shane says while uncovering my eyes and kissing my cheek. I roll my eyes. Yeah lucky for him. I'm too tired to mess with him today. Otherwise I would have said Ryan Reynolds or Zac Efron. Yummy. Ha!
"How come you’re already done with practice?" I ask opening my locker to retrieve my book bag
"Oh we practiced on the north field since they were putting fertilizer or something like that on the grass after your practice" he says with a shrug and an eye roll as he takes hold of my gym bag from my shoulder.
"Will you finished early" I comment grabbing my backpack and shutting my locker with a slam. Shane's already showers and change. Unlike myself who looks like I haven't showered in days. By the way, that would totally suck. I don't know how the cavemen did it back then.
"No ours ended at the usual time. Your practice, however, ran almost forty-five minutes late. Becca must have really wanted to push you guys, huh?" Shane says slinging my bag over his shoulder as I walk beside him down the school hall. Does it look like I just walked back from a spa treatment Shane? No clearly not. So duh!! Becca indeed wanted to push, shove, scream, and push us some more. Stupid Becca. And forty-five minutes over?? I'm bringing my watch next time. Hmph.
"Obviously" I tell him sarcastically.
"Damn baby, chill. I was just saying. I always forget how grouchy can be after hard practices. By the way, you have water, right?" Shane says rolling his eyes. How can he forget? Remember summer camp? Sigh. That's where is all started.
"Hmph. I wouldn't be like this if Becca went easier..." I huff as I shake my water bottle with water in it so he sees it.
"Oh don't start" Shane says putting his arm around me and pulling me closer to him. He kisses my warm temple.
"It's true,” I say without much power behind it. That's what Shane's kisses to do me. What? You would act the same way, don't deny it.
"Sure" he says rolling his eyes. We have this conversation about Becca weekly so it's nothing new.
"Shane, let me tell you a joke" I stop him as we just got outside of the building. I repeat to him the Cinderella one that Lola told. I thought it was a little funny but Shane didn't seem to think so.
"Hmm I thought you had a better since of humor than that sweetheart but I guess I was wrong" He says grinning. What! I'm offended.
"Whatever. You have to admit its kinda funny,” I say pushing him slightly. Or trying to anyway.
"No, not even a little" Shane says laughing. I fold my arms and pout. Some boyfriend he is.  
"Thanks a lot" I tell him looking away.
"Your welcome" Shane answers giving first my nose a kiss and then my lips.
