Senior Year, Biscuits & The Fuentes Family As Told By Nelissa Brown

B often thinks she's a great detective. She read Sherlock Homes last year and whenever there's a mystery she uses it as an excuse to wear her deer stalker hat, talk in a British accent and pretend to smoke her grandfather's pipe.
"And where have you been, my dear? It's five in the afternoon." B asked while she puffed on her pipe.
"I went to a diner and took a detour to the park and Jaime's house." I explained.
"Why are you in a nightgown and braless, love?"
"I left at four."
"That doesn't explain the bra-less-ness."
"I didn't think I'd see anyone!" I exclaimed. "And I'm not in my nightgown."
"Was there any smooching, treacle?" B asked me seriously.
"No! I ate pancakes with biscuits and maple syrup. Then I broke Jaime's bass." I said and she wrinkled her nose.
"Go get ready. Cassie is coming to Sally's party with us." B said.
"Okay." I smiled.
I went to sort through my things and to the bathroom. I had a quick shower and got ready. I took my time doing my make up. I think it's a red lip night. Red lips make me feel like I can defeat half of Germany. I did my hair and grinned when B saw me.
"Cassie is here." B explained.
We went downstairs and I saw Cassie. She's so pretty. Like Vogue pretty. When I first met her I was sure she was going to be all mean, pretty people have to be mean to make them yucky people. But Cassie isn't like that. She's ginger though. Maybe that's why she's pretty and nice.
"I hope it's okay me coming. I wasn't actually invited." Cassie said.
"Of course it is!" I smiled.
I grabbed my handbag and we went out to B's car. Cassie politely got into the backseat. That may be because I ran to get shotgun though. B started driving to fast and I tried not to throw up. Her driving always makes me queasy.
Once we'd arrived we got out and headed for the door. I scanned the street, trying to find anyone I knew. Nope, no one. "How did you get invited?" Cassie asked.
"My dad went to school with her dad." I explained.
"Sally I'm so darn cute with my cute strange complexion and southern accent." B mocked.
"My mom hates her."
"Why?" Cassie asked curiously.
"She calls her accent pretentious." I shrugged.
"No, she said arrogant." B countered.
"Did not." I stuck my tongue out.
"Did too." B countered.
"Not."
"Did."
"Not."
"Did."
"Nope!" I exclaimed.
"No." B said.
"Did." I said. Then I gaped. The cheater!
"Ha!" B grinned at me.
"You two are so funny. Are you always like this?" Cassie laughed.
"All the time." I nodded.
"Shut up you mad scientist." B poked me.
"The more B insults you, the more she loves you." I said.
"Unless your name is Sally." B countered.
We went inside the house and I looked around. I don't really like Sally very much. I don't hate her, hate is bad for the soul. But she's not very sweet to me. She always finds a way to get me in trouble. My mom sees her as my competition. That's why she's so eager for me to get a boyfriend. I would beat Sally then.
"What are you doing here?" I heard someone ask. I looked up and saw Mike with Tony and Jaime. We went over and I smiled.
"I was invited. What about you?" I asked.
"We get invited to all the cool parties." Jaime said.
"My dad knows Sally's." I explained.
"You look really beautiful tonight, Cassie." Jaime said brightly.
"You always say that!" Cassie sighed and went off to get a drink.
"I mean it!" Jaime called and chased after her.
I saw Sally and tapped her shoulder. "Happy Birthday." I told her.
"Thank you, Nelissa!" Sally said. "Have you met my new boyfriend? He's in college. A football player. He does some modelling on the side too." See what I mean?
"Great! I'll meet him later."
"He brought me this dress. Lovely, isn't it?"
"Yeah, you look pretty." I said.
"I know!" she exclaimed before she went off to her shrieking friends. The loud, giggling, shrieking ones always travel in packs. Like dogs.
I went to get a drink and passed Jaime and Cassie in the kitchen. They were talking and Cassie was grinning at him. What's going on here then? I tried to be Sneaky McSneakerson and watch. I sipped on my bottle and watched Jaime wrap his arm around Cassie's shoulder. I sneezed and they turned around. Damn it. I ducked under the table and peeked out. I should know better. When I hide under tables people either laugh at me or start fights. Tables seem to be a bad omen for me.
"Nel, is that you?" Cassie asked.
"Pay no attention to the woman under the table!" I called.
"Get out of there," Jaime told me. I think he's found me. He helped me up and I dusted myself off. "Whatcha doing?" Jaime asked.
"Playing hide and seek with Mike."
"How's that going for you?" he asked.
"Nel!" Mike called.
"Great! Thanks Jaime, he's found me!" I exclaimed.
"Whoops." he grinned.
"You have to come with me!" Mike rushed.
"What?" I asked excitedly and took his hand.
Mike pulled me outside into Sally's back yard. He tugged me to the bottom of the garden and grinned. "Sally has a jumpy jumper thing!"
"You mean a trampoline?" I asked.
"That's it!"
"How drunk are you?" I laughed. But then I snorted. I'm one of them. I've joined them. The snorters.
"You snorted!" Mike gasped.
"I didn't!" I rushed.
Mike ran past me and jumped up onto the jumpy jumper thing. I chased after him. It was only the polite thing to do. I got up and started to jump. I tried to remember my gym classes and dropped down into my bum. I tried to get up but ended up down flailing around on the trampoline. Mike jumped on top of me. He's heavy and fat.
"Get off of me!" I yelled.
"But you luuuuurve me!" Mike screamed, just like a girl. He's such a girl.
