Vega POV.I know everyone expected a bomb ass makeover session where I turned out looking like a drop-dead gorgeous vampire, having long wavy hair that rivaled the wind as it flowed around me, or rose-colored cheeks and cherry red lips, but nope, it didn't happen. The makeover was a disaster because we could hardly get to focus on one thing without a fight breaking out between Andria and Jake. I was part of that equation at some point, due to being frustrated with trying to keep the peace. This was what I got for having two hype friends who loved to get their way in everything. Jake wanted me to keep my curls, and Andria wanted them long and straight. Jake wanted light makeup, Andria wanted dark and mysterious, Jake wanted me in pretty long gowns, Andria said the shorter, the better... I watched them argue back and forth until I thought I was going to pass out. Every place we visited was almost glad to see us leave.And that was why we were all sitting at the cafe trying to enjoy our
Vega POV.If there was ever a time the slow-motion music walk should be used, this was it. I could already hear that song "I'm so fancy" playing in my head.I made a show of getting out of Andrianna's car cause why not. The makeover had turned out great. I kept my curls, detoxed, got my nails done, and got new clothes and shoes, the weather was looking great, and I could already see myself winning the money. Facts. I was wearing a black crop top, with black shorts, and high boots. I preferred the getup because being in a dress just didn't work for me, except if it was a very formal gathering. Andrianna grinned as she took in our audience, she was in a yellow print dress, a darker shade of heels in the same color, with a purse to match. Jake was the last to come out, but he came out looking like a billion dollars CEO, and all smooth edges. I think we made an awesome pair. The crowds kept staring at us, and it was a new sort of attention that was a bit unnerving, I didn't think I chan
VEGA POV.Is this how it feels when you gloat in the face of an enemy. If it is, then damn I feel good. It's almost like a high at this point. Andria watched me with amusement on her face, while Jake proceeded to be all lovey-dovey with Markus, AKA the hot_I wish he was my boyfriend instead. Kidding!. If he's cool with it then that'll be icing on the cake. I'm still kidding.My lips stretched in an eerie smile, as Andria relayed what happened for the thousandth time and I loved how she managed to make the whole encounter more hilarious than it was."Did you see the look on her face... It was and is my favorite thing in the world now. She tripped on her own feet, how stupid" I said, recalling my favorite part of the whole drama. Andria bobbed her head In enthusiastically. "You can't forget about it if you tried hard enough. It was so hilarious. I'm so proud of myself". She said, batting her lashes, and choosing to ignore her ice cream that was melting. Ugh, she wasted everything. Jake
Zach's POVAwkward was the best way to describe the atmosphere. I didn't like Noah getting all in her space which was borderline fucked up. But I couldn't help the horrible feeling that pumped through my chest. I didn't even like her. Why should I care if she was smiling like the entire universe was alight just because she saw Noah? That smile tho. It was too dangerous. Too infectious. I couldn't stand it. I think it was safe that she was directing it at Noah and not me."I thought I'd never see you again" she murmured into his shirt before pulling away. Were those fucking tears glazing in her eyes? And why did her voice have to go so shaky, making me wish that I could soothe whatever ache she was feeling? This was so pathetic. I clenched my fist, this was not me at all. I didn't care how anyone felt, especially not her. Noah smiled like he'd won a lottery ticket. "I know right. This feels like destiny doesn't it".Destiny? Could he be more cringe? Vega seemed to be buying the whole d
Vega POV."I love Zach so much Andrianna. I mean when he looks at me, it feels like I'm in a fairytale spending one hundred thousand dollars" I said dreamily, not minding the scowl on Andria's face."Fighting with him won't make that money get any closer to you Vega and right now, you've succeeded in destroying your chances by having an out-of-the-blue boyfriend, so can we switch the corrective gear please" she begged with a forced smile, that stretched almost to her ears.I sat up, getting serious. She relaxed once she thought I was seeing things from her point of view. Andria was right about her whole evaluation of the situation tho, at the rate I was going, I wouldn't be surprised if I'm at the last spot for those who had a chance with Zach. "What can I do Andria. That guy pisses me off to no end, and then Noah said that he was pretty serious about Arielle. He talks about her all the time, is, and I quote what he said"."First off, he might talk about her all the year-round, but h
Vega diced the fruit, her eyes cutting at Zach who worked on cutting the vegetables, working because he was sweating buckets, yet moving at a snail's pace. He shook the hair out of his face, concentrating on the task before sighing in frustration."I thought you said lunch together, not cooking a meal" he grumbled. Vega rolled her eyes. "You'll never appreciate the chefs if you don't cook your meals. Besides, cooking is fun." Zach's shoulders slumped making her giggle. She watched him struggle to arrange the vegetables, before carefully slicing them. Oh well, this lunch was going to take forever, Vega sighed at the same time he did."Gosh, my neck killing me". He complained, looking miserable."That's because you're too strung up. Put in more effort. I won't help you out, got that, so you..." Her phone pinged, halting her speech. She answered the call.She smiled, holding a finger up to silence Zach's protest."Hey, Noah." Over the phone. "where are you?""I am with Zach, we're makin
Vega rushed into her room, halting in her tracks as she brainstormed on what to do first. She took out her phone, dialing Andrianna's number. She answered on the third ring, sounding bored."This better be important. Are you making any progress?""He's taking me to his favorite place. We were going to cook and all, but then I went to get flours, when I came back he was shirtless, then we got into this talk about the perfect guy, he said I could get any guy I want, asked why I was dating Markus, then he tried to kiss me...""Breathe Vega... This is not a drill. Now what was that I just heard, I think it went in line with KISSING!" She screeched into the phone making Vega flinch.Vega inhaled sharply. "Watch your tone missy, you almost destroyed my eardrums"."I'm going to be doing more in a minute if you don't start talking" she threatened.Vega rolled her eyes. " We didn't kiss. I said almost. The oven ruined everything. Oh my gosh Andria" she squealed, dropping to the bed. " He was s
ZACH POV.I stared straight at my food because the atmosphere was always stifling whenever my parents forced me to eat breakfast with them and the wisest action to take was to avoid their gazes because once I made eye contact, it was like a code for them to start their condemnation and digging. Their gaze dug into me and anxiety in the form of stones lodged in my throat making me sweat until I couldn't take it anymore. I looked up at them, meeting their intense stare square on and bracing myself for whatever they were going to throw at me.Noah was also playing around with his food, his face scrunched up in a frown.Mom- Chloe was the first to break the silence. "You came home looking happy last night, and one of the maids told us they saw you doing some research on one of your projects last night," she said and I sneered, unable to help myself."Now you have the maids spying on me, you should just hire a private investigator to follow me around all day then".Mom glared and the look
