Dreams and Reality- Aqua's Version by Tammy (best novels for teenagers .txt) 📖

nice day then.” I said “accidentally” throwing the cup of tea I got in the café down a little too close to her shoes. Then we all got into the car and drove away.
“Nice job, Aqua, I think we taught her a lesson about yelling at teenagers for something out of their control,” Tania said, smiling at me and Jake huddled up in the back seat.
“Thank you. The one thing I won’t tolerate at all is people messing with me or my family.” I said smiling.
“Well, it’s good that you have those kinds of characteristics. We’re at your house, Jake if you want to go in with her and stay for a while you can. Goodbye Aqua, have a nice day.” She said, now I know where Jake gets his driving skills from.
“No, I want to but I have to practice for football. Sorry Aqua, see you later.” He told me, smiling apologetically at me.
“That’s okay, I’ll see you tomorrow. Bye Tania.” I said kissing Jake goodbye, and then giving Tania a hug.
“See you soon, Aqua.” She said hugging me back. Then I went inside and made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, one of my few expertise, even though I wasn’t hungry and fed the rest of the three fourths to my Pomeranian, Cocoa. I wonder why Jake’s mom is so cool with me, maybe it’s because the only daughter she has is really young. As I walked up stairs to listen to music I pondered that thought. Then I sang which is very freeing. Music is my art, my sport, I needed it to live.
Chapter 7: School without Elle or a single problem
I woke up at about 5:30 for school. I took a quick shower, and scrunched my long hair, and pinned back my bangs. Then I got dressed in some high wasted shorts and a spaghetti sleeve white tank top. Then I slipped on some small heels, only about two inches. I added a simple golden chain; it said Aqua on it and some fun hoops. Then I put on my makeup, today I did a Royal Blue Smokey eye to add pop of color to the outfit I was wearing. Then I tossed on some white bangles, and a black flyaway to complete the look. Then I grabbed my stuff, and headed for the bus stop, and then Elle came out without any stuff.
“You aren’t going to school are you?” I asked shaking my head and smiling.
“Of course not, I have to see Rye, I promised him I would. So yeah, I definitely have to, please don’t tell. I mean I’m going anyway, but be nice to me.” She begged, and I just nodded. She is so obsessed with him its funny. Then she left with the mustang and I waited for Sapphire’s new limo to pick me up. Then it came, and the chauffeur opened the door for me.
“Hey Girls!” I said as I went inside.
“Hey Aqua!” They all said as I hoped in.
“Where’s Sapphire?” I asked.
“She’s already at school. She wanted to meet her boy there earlier for a convo, she said she wants to break up with him, but she sent us the limo with a card in it saying ‘Sorry I couldn’t make it. C u soon’.” Jenna explained.
“Oh, well I don’t care. Brooke, do you have your Beyoncé perfume with you? I forgot to spray mine this morning.” I asked. I really could care less if Sapphire is here or not. I could care less if she never comes back, I could do without her.
“Yeah, here you go.” She said, handing it to me.
“Thanks.” I said, taking it and spraying myself.
“Wow! That smells amazing on you Aqua. It doesn’t smell like that on me.” Brooke said.
“Everyone’s skin reacts differently Brooke, it just so happens that my skin chemically reacts better than everyone else’s skin.” I said, and they all agreed.
“I wish I had your beauty,” Ashley fawned over me. The rest of the limo ride was basically everybody fawning over how great I looked today. I gave out a few compliments. No need to give out too many, if I do then I’ll be too nice. I need to be as mean as possible without losing them; stupid accident threw my attitude off. Stupid idiotic drivers hurting people, making me soft.
When we got to school Jake was waiting for me. When I got out, we all took our stuff to our lockers; we dominated the lockers in the west hall.
“Ok girls, go give out your SOA stickers.” I told them. Our SOA stickers stood for Seal of Approval, or in other words we only gave them to select people, and they meant that we wouldn’t pick on them because they were to cool for that, but still not cool enough to hang with us. We only handed them out once a year, and each girl only got one, the guys to (well except me I got six but I was the leader what else would you expect?). They were rare and a lot of teens did a lot to have one.
“Ok. I’ll separate them into their groups.” Sapphire said. I just nodded, while she started. Once they were all gone I talked to Jake.
“So, do you think that Rye will be at school soon?” I asked looking up at him. Rye needed to be here, Elle couldn’t flunk school, and out of school she would flunk, but coming without him here she still wouldn’t do her best.
“Of course. Don’t worry, if I know Rye he’ll pull out of it soon. Why are you so worried?” He asked looking suspicious. He thinks that I like him! Ew, that thought disgusts me. I’m only asking because I’m concerned about Elle.
“I’m just concerned about Elle. She relies on him a lot and if he’s not here I’m concerned about what it will do to her.” I said, not a contradiction in my voice.
“Oh, well, yeah he’ll be back soon.” He said, hugging me tightly. How cute, he’s still jealous. Then the bell rang, and the rest of the day went just like the others, in cheerleading we practiced for Friday’s game, in step team we worked on our dances, and in drama I practiced to be Rachel, in class teachers reviewed and I got Elle’s homework for her. Nothing really happened until lunch.
I texted Elle (I didn’t care what the rules were I was doing it anyway) So how is it with you? (and Rye lol).
Well, I don’t know how Rye is, you’ll have to ask him, I don’t really care how he is, but I’m fine. She texted back, huh weird I wonder what’s going on there.
What happened? You’re always concerned about Rye and know how he is. I asked, I didn’t understand where this was coming from.
I’m not telling you.
Yes, you are. Just tell me, it’s not like I’m going to laugh.
Fine, we broke up.
WHAT?! WHY?!
He called me a charity case.
How dare he? You are not a charity case.
I know all I said were a few little things, like that I wasn’t fragile and he didn’t have to be stronger than me.
What a jerk, he took things way out of proportion. You guys have to get back together though.
No. He wants me to apologize and I’m not going to.
Yes. Yes, you are. Besides he will apologize to, you just have to be the bigger person and do it first.
No.
Yes.
No. No. No.
Fine, be that way. Bye
Bye
This had to be fixed, they had to be together. If they didn’t get back together, I couldn’t control myself and it would break Elle’s heart to see me and Rye together, no matter how much she said it wouldn’t. Plus, I would be breaking Jake’s heart, and that would be mean, but I know I would do it if they didn’t back together. This is going to be fixed as soon as possible. Then Jake walked up with my usual salad.
“Hey, thanks for getting my lunch for me.” I said, looking up at him as he sat down. He still looks unsure of something; does he really think that I would leave him for Rye? EW, I mean that wouldn’t happen even if I wanted to, he belongs to Elle.
“You’re Welcome.” He said, studying my face for a sign of un-interest.
“So, why aren’t you eating?” I asked, this couldn’t possibly bother him enough not to eat could it?
“No reason, it’s just that your friends eat so little. It’s weird.”
“Oh, well if you want to you can have the standard salad, I mean it’s more filling then you think.” I told him, proud of my little salad.
“Thanks but no thanks. No offense, but guys can’t survive of that little.” He said, shaking his head at me as if I didn’t know it.
“Well, you have to try it. It would be wrong, and mean if you didn’t.” I said holding out a veggie-filled fork full, pouting to win.
“Fine, I’ll try it.” He agreed, eating the whole fork full in one bite. “It’s actually good.”
“Yeah, that’s what I thought. Eating healthy doesn’t always mean it has to be gross.”
“Good point, but don’t you try to get me to eat spinach.” He said, wrinkling his nose at the thought. Then he got up, and turned.
“Where are you going?” I asked, very confused.
“To get my own salad silly,” he said eyeing the salad bar, and leaving me and the girls laughing at how cute he was.
“So, he even eats salad for you. I wish a guy would do that for all of us,” Jenna said, sighing and shaking her head at the guys at the next table, who were eating a bunch of meat.
“Yeah, it’s called guy-hypnosis. Isn’t that right Sapphire?” I said, turning to her.
“Definitely, you just have to use your charm to get what you want; it’s really simple if you guys want some lessons on it.” She said, basking in the glory. Gross, I hate how much she enjoys being the center of attention. I guess I’ll just have to give her as little as possible so it doesn’t bug me.
“So, who is having the next party?” I said, looking around as Jake sat back down beside me.
“None of us, the cheerleaders are throwing a dance soon.” Brooke answered looking at her yearbook.
“Cool, I guess we should start planning then, and we should try and get live entertainment.” I said, and then looking at the picture and the name Brooke was staring at in her yearbook. It says Matt something; I can’t make out the last name. He was some buff guy, but not grossly muscled like body-builders. I guess that’s who she has her eyes on for the dance. Then she closed the book, and I actually focused on what Jenna was saying.
“We should try and get a prize for a dance comp. during the dance. We should also see if we can get someone with connections for actually good live entertainment.” Jenna said, spitting out the ideas like a machine.
“Definitely, theme should be just like a casual dance party, no one wants to dress up to dance all night to live entertainment.” Brooke said, as I nodded my approval of their ideas. I think that Rye has a lot of money, maybe he has the connections for this stuff, and if he won’t do it for me, he will for Elle.
“I think we should have a D.J. and Ashley Tisdale as our live entertainment. During D.J. breaks she could sign autographs.” I suggested, and they all nodded eagerly,
