Chapter 1: Paula Rayes

Have you ever wondered how you made it through highschool?

I'm not trying to be a pessimist or whatever but I wonder how I actually made it through. I was the chubby girl, fat__when the girls wanted to bully me, and curvy when my friend Olivia tries to cheer me up.

She’s my bestie since high school.

I'm curvy or as Olivia would say 'thick' , really would be sexy, if I could only get rid of the extra arm fat, big tummy, and literally every fat on my chubby body.

I tried dieting, working out and all sorts of things Clara did, but it doesn't work for me.

Clara was my childhood friend who bullied me unintentionally.

Clara always says I needed to get thin, but Olivia disagrees with her, I sometimes get stuck in the middle but hey! they want what's best for me right?

Olivia makes me eat properly when someone says something nasty to me, I skip meals and exercise to punish myself. she would literally feed me all the time. She goes on and on about how beautiful and sexy I am , how my hair is beautiful with its blonde color; dark roots and my honey eyes but I couldn't help but disagree.

If I was all of that then I'll have guys flocking around me, but no they don't.

There are a few here and there but nothing really serious;except with one loser James. He seemed all nice and sweet I even gave him my virginity and we fucked twice and that man still cheated on me.

He took me out , made me feel special but he was an ass , he was a lying cheat. Ughhhhhh . I decided to stop worrying about my looks and really just live life. After all I'm done with college not much of a struggle like highschool, college nobody cares and I liked that. I graduated top of my department and currently on a job hunt but then my dream still remains, I want to own my own fashion house.

It has been my dream to design clothes since I saw Audrey Hepburn in a beautiful dress. I thought to myself " I want to make beautiful dresses for beautiful women."

Well, to start my business I need a whole lot of money and I am going to work till I finally get enough to start it up. I'm a fashion girl, with my size and all, you can never bully me for my fashion sense. I am a pro. I can really turn a girl to a model fat or not but then girls don't come to me they just assume , "hey!, she's fat , she can't know about fashion"

Well I do and during prom Olivia looked like a queen after I styled her.

I did attend prom but I was with Davis a nerd , the only boy that asked me to prom and we ended up spending the whole time at the lab working on his project. I was nervous to face the crowd too, so I can't really blame him either. I went home with a one thousand dollars dress without showing off!, Olivia almost killed me and my parents they literally ignored me for days.

I'm headed to my parent's house , its that time of the year they invite me over to play matchmaker. My mom goes on and on about how I'm twenty two and done with college, I should settle down with a man only if she knew about the red mark in that area. **rolls eyes** .

I pulled my car at the front of the house and adjusted my floral dress, got my gifts out and headed for the door after locking my car.

I opened the door "mom!, dad!" I screamed. Almost immediately a sweet aroma hit me ,ooouuu mom's special Italian spaghetti oh I miss home. I would come over often , if only they would stop talking about having a boyfriend.

My mom came from the bedroom looking beautiful.my mom still got it with her boyfriend jeans and red turtle neck top, divine. "Oh baby come here its been so long" she pulled me in for a tight hug"

"Oh mom its only been a month" I rolled my eyes.

"Oh it feels like forever Paula" she finally released me.

"If it isn't my princess" I smiled widely as my dad engulfed me in a daddy bear hug.

"Hey daddy" I smiled against his chest.

"Well, there's someone here to meet you" my mom ushered me to the sitting room and I shook my head. She even tried winking at me. Oh Mom.

On the couch sat a nice looking man , very safe nice looking man; not my type I've always been one for the bad boys and hey look at where it got me. Nowhere.

After much introduction , his name Sebastian and yes he's Mexican and a doctor , he seems nice but nothing can ever happen more than us just being friends . he's not my type, not his looks I don't care much for that but then the way we relate the chemistry nahhh.

We exchanged contacts, and my mother almost squealed when he asked for my contact or sorry she actually did. He finally left; me and my parents discussed about everything. I love my family. It was time for me to leave and they where seeing me off to my car. My mom was squeezing the life out of me.

"Make sure you don't take long to come visit again baby" I nodded against her warm chest.

She kissed my hair and let me go, then my dad patted my hair and back .

"You still walk around with your pepper spray right?" I nodded and chuckled my dad never jokes about that. He only let's me leave the house armed .

I got in my car and zoomed off while still watching my family waving at me from my side mirror. I love them so much , its a good thing they got each other . I want a love like that , one that will stand the test of time.

I drove through the streets of new York till I finally got to the apartment me and Olivia stayed in. Its a two bedroom apartment and its very homey and spacious. The sitting room and the kitchen where attached; the two rooms opposite each other with their own bathrooms. Really comfy .

I typed the password and got in ,

"Olivia you home?"

"Yes girl I am and I just ordered pizza" oh dear Olivia I love you.

She was working on her computer in the kitchen,sitting on one of the bar stool. I hugged her from behind .

"Who was he this time" she chuckled

I slapped her arms.

"a Mexican guy this time " she raised a brow at me.

"Why do they keep going international when trying to get a man for you? Italian, African, Australian. Your parents are really going to get you married soon" she laughed hysterically,

"How was he? Do you think he has a big little man? Because if he does , you have to smash before passing,"

"Oh shut up, he was nice just not my type and he is a doctor " I said grabbing a bottle of water , her ears perked up, she always had a thing for nerdy guys.

"Oh really now" she said in a Spanish accent I rolled my eyes at her while walking to my room to get changed.

"What!, smart guys are hot" she said

"I didn't say anything stop being guilty" her shoulders dropped.

"Well, take me to jail if liking smart men is a crime" she folded her wrists forward dramatically .

I laughed hard, its no wonder she studied theater arts and is currently an actress. Stared in two movies already , you could say my friend is a celeb but she's not all that yet but soon.

"No one is jailing you drama queen, I could invite him over and you guys can meet and see if you like him deal!?"

She rotated on the bar stool and squealed "yes I love you Alla. "

"If" I raised my finger up.

She eyed me closely

"I know nothing comes for free with you" she pouted and I laughed.

"If you wake me up early for my interview tomorrow, you know how I always sleep in" her face lit up

"Deal!, what time anyway" she turned to face her laptop while I finished putting on my tank top and took a sit next to her.

"One by seven and the other one by ten then a couple more " I told her watching her work on her laptop.

"Seven? That's rather early. Won't their workers be there before the candidates arrive jeez"

"The company is a big shot and they go to work by six or so" I shrugged my shoulders.

"Okay then I got you " she stopped typing and smiled at me.

Immediately the door bell rang

"Pizza time!" we both screamed..
