Unexpected - Pamela (best mystery novels of all time TXT) 📗

I take a deep breath as I'm on my way to school. The LAST day of school! I just can't believe it... it seemed like yesterday I started school as a Junior. Now I was leaving again, so close to being a Senior! I smile as I picture Irene getting all emotional. I'll miss that... at least we'll still be together at Evan Pena's party tonight.
My upper lip curls up into a sneer as I think of the nasty clique he's in. The Populars. Ever since they offered me a spot in there, and I turned them down, we've been enemies ever since. I never want to be noticed. But, like Irene said, "That's gonna be hard to do. Well... as long as you look like you, anyways." Of course, I always scoff at that. I'm nothing special to look at.
I open the schools' front door, and hot air blows in my face. And different smells. I immediately spot Daniel. He's my bestfriend. I think he's gay, if you ask me. Daniel's talking to Scott when I get to him. I stand behind Daniel for a few seconds before I jump on his back. His hands come to my thighs, barely catching me.
"Don't rape me, don't rape me, don't rape me..." he repeats over and over again to himself, grinning. I immediately get off of him and make a face.
"Eww... Daniel, I would never. If I did, you might turn straight and I'll lose my bestfriend." I smile sweetly, and he scoffs at me.
"Don't count on it, unless you're a guy, I'm not interested in anything sexual with you." He says and I fake pout, then say goodbye. Next, I start looking for Irene, my second bestfriend.
"Luce!" I hear a familiar voice call and I knew that I'd found her. Or she found me. Whatever. She runs to me like her life depends on it. "Today's the last day of school, can you believe it?!" She practically yells in my ear.
I sigh, "Yeah... I'm going to miss you so much, Irene." I tell her sincerely. She nods but says nothing as her eyes start to glaze over. "Hey, don't you dare cry." I scold her and pull her in for a hug.
She finally laughs and hugs me back. "I know, I know. I just... it sucks that I'm not going to be able to see you that much in the summer."
I pull back and say what I know is going to make her very, very happy. "Fine..." I sigh and pretend to be highly irritated. She looks puzzled. "I've decided... to sign up for summer school with you." I say happily and she squeals.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I laugh and hold her just as tight as she hugs me again. "I promise, you won't regret it. This is going to be... awesome." And yet, I'm already regretting it. The rest of the school day goes by so achingly slow. By 7th period I just stop listening to the teachers. My yearbook's already in my hands that won't stay still. Irene and I are huddled by the door waiting for the teacher to give us a, "Go ahead and leave!" sign, but it never happens.
Then she does. We all practically run out the door while I see other kids doing the same thing. Our destination is outside for yearbook signing. Once we're outside, we're immediately enclosed by a swarm of, "Will you please sign my yearbook?" We're not particularly popular but... kind of close to it.

Once everyone's yearbooks are signed, Irene and I head back to her house to get ready for a big party at Evans house. I got to look my best. When inside, she immediately goes to her closet. I hid MY pair of clothes in a locked box, which, I brought from him.
I unlock the pattern and breath a sigh of relief when I saw that they were just fine. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Irene roll her eyes and grin. Ignoring her, I grab them from the box and head to the bathroom.
My pink super skinny shorts fit me really good and make me look to have a bigger ass than I actually do. And a slim waist. Especially when my purple printed tank top clings to my frame, showing off all of my curvy frame and flat stomach. "Awhh, man." Irene groans. I jump, but then I look at her quizzically. "Well, I don't stand a chance if you're going to wear THAT, Luce." She whines, and now I'M the one that rolls my eyes.
Then, I start laughing. "Oh, please! Look at you! No one's going to even NOTICE I'm there, standing with you." She decided to wear sandals, shorts (not as short as mine, though), and a loose fitting shirt. You can still tell she has a figure. I raise my eyebrows at her, and she blushes. "Mmhmm... you know you look hot," I tease her.
I turn my attention back to the mirror, and finish looking myself over. My hair is down, and nicely curled which makes it look really good. I add a little eyeliner and a little lip gloss. Now, I'm all set. "Ready?" She nods and we leave her room.
But not before her younger brother stops me. "Y'know..." he sighs dramatically, and I hold in a laugh. "I'm a Junior now, Lucy. Don't you think it's time for that kiss now?" He finishes, and looks me up and down. Irene meets my eye and she nods and smiles evily.
"Sure, Bobby. I'll be the cougar for just this once." I say to him, playing along. He looks shocked, and I grab his head between my hands. Then I lean up and kiss his lips. Before he can react, I start moving my lips against his. Count to five, and pull away. His eyes are closed, his breath definitely faster. "Bye, Sweet Lips." I whisper in his ear and then we run out.
We can't contain our laughter anymore than Bobby couldn't help but get turned on. Poor kid. Y'know... if he wasn't Irene's brother, and was older, I wouldn't really mind getting hit on by him. He's kind of cute, in a weird way.
By the time we reach the party, we barely find a parking spot. The smell of booze and cigarette smoke hit me as soon as I exit the car. Music is pumping from the big house, and I feel the vibration in my chest. "Whoa..." Irene breaths.
I nod and make my way to the door, and the ring the doorbell. A second later a girl I've never seen before stands in front of me. She smiles and yells, "Come on in!"
"Thanks!" I yell back to her over the thumping music. My gaze goes to the floor, trying not to trip. My purple Osiris's step over foam cups, and random items. Irene seems not to care as she impatiently tugs at my arm, pulling me into the crowd. A new song plays, and I immediately recognize it. Party Rock Anthem, by LMFAO. Where, in order to dance to this song, you have to know how to shuffle, AND do the spongebob. The crowd cheers and forms a circle. Lexi, on the Populars, starts doing, no, trying, to shuffle. Irene laughs. I join her.
She nudges me to do it. I nod, and tell her to wait. Thankfully, I DO know how to shuffle and spongebob.The part starts coming up and I'm pushed inside the circle. All of a sudden, I'm nervous and I can't do it. I turn around but I'm stopped by Irene. I sigh, and she giggles, and turns me around, and everyone's eyes are on me.
Mentally cursing Irene, I wait for the moment, and start shuffling. People yell and cheer me on. Lexi turns red and tries even harder. Then I start doing the spongebob, and she eventually stops all together. I see a cute guy shuffling, but he's not inside the circle. Yet.
Bolding up, I grab his arm and pull him inside with me. He's shocked, but immediately starts dancing with me, and I grin widely at him. I'm glad I came tonight.

As the party went on, I found myself thirsty a lot. No doubt it was because of all the dancing I've been doing over the hour. I really didn't know what I was drinking, and I didn't really care. As long as I got hydrated, I was fine. I realize that I've danced with a lot of guys tonight. Not that I mind, it's actually kind of nice. Feeling the way their fingers drift over my hips and curves. Unless they go too far, then I pull away.
The song changes, and I mouth the words because I know the song. As I'm just standing there with Irene cooling off, someone bumps into me, making me almost fall over. Luckily, the person grabs my
