Seamless (Chap. 2)

Chapter 2

A mystery solved..and one started

As Lacy walked through the door she asked,".Where were you?" Um, in the Auditorium talking to Mr.Khan?" I lied "Ok, did you tell him about me?" Sorry Lacy,I lied again " I completely forgot, I was very caught up in my set." Its alright." As Lacy auditioned to Mr.Khan, I remember when I first moved here and Veronica knowing my secret.. It was when I first moved here, in September, It was in the night and I was about to Transform in to a bat and fly with Daliah.. And Veronica was out to dinner with her family to "Olive Garden" and she saw us transform in to human mode from Bat mode and she said to her family that she had dropped something and then came to meet us and she was like "Alissa, what are you? A Vampire?" and then I was like "Don't tell ANYONE!, Got it?" my tone was sharp. "Alright,Alright, who is that" she had said pointing to Daliah I had explained to her that Daliah was one of my vampire friends.... My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Lacy yelling in to my ears " Alissa, Alissa, I'm in, Mr.Khan told me to audition for the part of Audrey Hepburn and I'm her!!!"She was spilling out tears madly. I suddenly felt a buzz in my pocket, it was a text from Mom: ALISSA, COME HOME NOW,WE NEED TO TALK TO YOU MOM,



. "Lacy, I am so happy for you and wish I could stay more but my mom texted me and I have to go home..." I said. "its ok, everything is fine!!". I ran to my house and slammed thought the door, "Alissa, honey, we have something to tell you." Mom said "Have a seat" I sat down "Alissa, Dear...... We're Divorcing." Dad said to me "What?! This has to be a Prank'd joke," I exclaimed. "We are serious, Alissa" said Mom " Your Dad and I have been fighting to much and I'm also re-marrying in a few months after all the paperwork has been filled." "No! Where will I live? What's going to happen to me? "You'll live with Charlie and me and you will go to London every summer for the entire summer until you're 17". "Wait a minute, I have a few more questions to ask! Who's Charlie and what will happen to Puff? I asked nervously... Mom answered " Charlie is your Step-Father and Puff will stay with you here in L.A.". "When will I meet this "Charlie" Guy?" Tonight" my mother said " We will be going out for dinner at "Le Grand Palais" Fighting back tears, I screamed "WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DO THIS? I ran to my room, Puff in arms and flung on my bed crying and looking worse than Stephanie Maurice, the ugliest girl in school. I cried and cried but I finally got over it and changed into my fanciest dress-a knee length peach cocktail dress and black wedges with my best sparkly diamond earrings and get out my make-up set. I put on pinkish eyeshadow, black eyeliner, blush and some light lip liner with some nice pinkish lipstick and some nice Very Cherry Berry lipgloss and I went down stairs and I forgot all about my father and I left with Mom to meet Charlie at Le Grand Palais...



 "So Alissa, I'm getting you a sewing machine and you get to design my wedding dress and the colors of the hall will be Lavender and White and we might have to go shopping or do you want to make your Maid of Honor dress...?". Thank goodness Le Grand Palais is a few minutes from home…. "Charlie!" Mom said as she came out of the car and kissed him.. "Hi, Alissa!" Charlie said to me. "Hi, Charlie." I said back to him.. He gave me a big hug... We went in.. "So,Alissa your mother told me that you are the Vice President of Santa Monica ?" Charlie said to me. "Um..Yeah that's right.". We ordered our meals, I ordered the butternut squash soup and some bread because I knew Charlie was paying for the meal and not Mom so this time I kept it light... When the meal was got over Charlie dropped us home and Mom kissed him again on the porch steps and I went in running up to my bedroom and greeting Puff in kisses and I jumped on the bed like there was no tomorrow and for the first time ever I dreamt of Brad Martin.. The first thing I saw when I went to school the next morning with Veronica was him.. 




 "Hey,Alissa!" her shouted "You dropped your Bracelet yesterday" "Thank You" I said stiffly and I ran away to Science laughing with Veronica , the rest of Science was disgusting because we had to Dissect Frogs and My partner-unfortunately- was Stephanie Maurice. The reason she was so ugly is because she has uncountable pimples, and headgear and worst of all..Mom Jeans, everyone shudders at the thought... "Alright,Alissa, so I think we should start with the brain and go down" she said in a high squeaky voice, I never ever want to ever touch a brain, but that's exactly what Stephanie does. Bringgggg, I run out of the class and to the Cafeteria because it's time for Lunch, I meet Veronica at the assemble your own salad station where she is assembling her "Creations". It's in Headlines,"Veronica Miller! Salad Artist!" "Hey Alissa" she says," Hey Veronica" We sat down at One of the Lunch tables, " My Parents are getting divorced." I blurted out "Oh No! That's Horrible!" said Veronica, a pleat of sadness on her face. "The only sucky part is that for summer I have to go to his stupid wedding" I said groaning " Well.." she said "Where will he live?" " There is a tiny upside to that, He's living in England and I get to bring one friend along.." "Who should I bring? Alicia?Kirsten? Alison? Lacy?" i said mockingly, reciting a few of our other friends names. "Pick Me! Pick me!" Veronica said.



 My voice low, I whispered to her. "I need to get to my Locker, Now!". We rushed to my locker without the lunch supervisors looking and I grabbed a bottle of BloodLa and downed it as fast as I could. Once I was done, I let out a horrendous burp."I knew it!" I heard Mrs.Tralfager shout, Mrs.Tralfager is our cranky old math teacher. She caught our Aritzia Hoodies and Towed us towards Principal Hutchings's Office. She poked her head into the door,"These two were skipping Lunch" her nasty voice said. " Ok, Bring them in Betty." .. She closed the door behind us. "Alissa, Dear, I know why you skip lunch." Horrified that she would figure out my secret, I ommited a squeak." W-why?" I was horrified when she turned into a bat." Your One too?" " Yes, Dear..I know everything." Veronica ommited a squeak," Are we still getting Detention? Alissa was just going to get a bottle of BloodLa." She shooed us out of her office with an explanation for Mrs.Tralfager that I was sick and had to take my medicine. We walked out of the office, terrified on what we had seen almost minutes ago."I wonder if Lacy is a Vampire?" I said out loud.. The day passed by so quickly and My Dad had left to England so Charlie moved in with us..



 My key jiggled in the hole " I'm home!" I shouted, I ran upstairs, greeting Puff with a belly rub, and I grabbed my MacBook air and settled in my Papasan from Pier 1 imports.. I go to my favorite search engine and type in a few words on cooking.. I cook the family meal on Thursdays, I found a recipe, Chicken Lasagna. I slide down the banister greeting Charlie, "Hey Charlie" I said " Welcome home from school Kiddo, What's on the menu for tonight?" " Chicken Lasagna." I skip down to the kitchen blasting 108.3 Her Radio. I start whisking and then get a call, It's Veronica, "Hey" I say, " Hi!" she replies, She sounds giddy " Guess which grade is going to NYC ?" I sighed, " Lemme Guess, The 9th Graders? It really dosent matter of Lizzy goes, You still won't get a souvenir." I hung up but Veronica called back. "No silly, The Grade 8ths are at the end of the month for a week or two." She hung up this time. I ran up again to IM Lacy. Alisssa: Did u hear about the trip 2 NYC?? She responded almost three seconds after. Lilacs4Lacy: Ya, Meet me by the park @ 7:30 and IM Kirsten & Leesh.. Alisssa: Meet me @ Park @ 7:30. Redddd: KK. I IM'd Alicia Last. Alissssa: Meet me @Park @ 7:30. HollaGurrl: Fwine. I ran downstairs hoping to not burn the food. Charlie Had Saved my food from peril. "Oh, Charlie! Thank You!" I Said, Giving him a hug

Seamless (Chapter 1)

Chapter 1

My name is Alissa, Alissa Lakes. I'm one of the most normal people you would ever know! Well, except for the fact that I'm a vampire! The only person who knows my secret is Veronica Miller, my best friend since I've moved here to L.A from London...It's only been 3 months...Not even my parents know my secret. My dad is a university teacher at U.C.L.A and my mom is an interior designer for the company Polliani INC. I hear my mom calling me down for Breakfast. I slide down the stairs to our kitchen. "Morning Mom" I said "Good morning Darling, Ready for school?"  Yeah, just let me go upstairs to get my bag."  As I go up, I wonder what we are going to do tonight, since its a Friday night           , "Alissa Darling, we will be going to visit your aunt Jessica's restaurant, Delisisno!"Mom said "Great!" I replied " Can Veronica come with us?" Ding-Dong, That's her ring. I went to open the door''Hey'' said Veronica ''Hey,'' I said back ''Do you have your cell on you?" i asked "No, Why?" she asked back, "Well, we are going to my aunt's restaurant and i was wondering if you would like to come with us" I said, perfectly explaining it "Sure, i'd love to come, but I'll ask Isabel just in case" she said, running across the street, Isabel D'Monita is Veronica's Step-mom . I am so glad we live across the street from each other. With my instincts  i didn't even realize that she came back in the room, or that the doorbell rang.. "She said Yes!" Veronica said excitedly
                                                                                                                      "Now run along, dears or you will be late for school!" my mom said, pushing us out the door.. Veronica looked at her spy watch that her real mom gave her before she and Veronica's dad died in Russian Spy Association...I was so surprised when she told me! "Alissa, ALISSA!" she yelled "What?" i snapped to her "We are going to be late for school!" she said...School was pretty much school, I got an A+ in History and  a B+ in Math..I sigh, I did'nt get any classes with Veronica  because they made up some stupid rule and I have to be with Lacy Hutchings...She's Principal Hutchings daughter, so she thinks that she's the ruler of the entire student body... Her dad is a lawyer so, she can sue anyone she wants! Poor Lillian Sobers.. Don't even get me started on her older sister Layla, she's a judge.. So Lacy has a sparkly pink gavel on her desk! How unfair is that!!?? Bringggg. There's the bell, Time for Fashion with Miss ''I'm So Perfect''.  ''OK, Class.. So we will be starting an about 4 week project on the 1920 Flappers!" Ms.Thompson said casually sipping her cinnamon spice latte.
I give her outfit a look-a white blouse with a few frills, Levi Strauss Jeans, Black Lace Flats from "I am who I am", and to top it all of, a Gucci signature 2012 handbag with DKNY purple sunglasses popping out of the brim-  "Lacy!" I snapped "We need to get started on our project".."Okay, Okay" Lacy said, staring at the mirror in her compact. "Will Alissa Lakes and Veronica Miller please come to the office to leave for the day?'' the PA said 

Quickly slinging my bag over my shoulder i say bye to Ms.Thompson and As soon as the door is closed i sprint down the hallway and stuff my sketchbook into my bag..I would never ever show  it to anyone, not even Veronica! I skidded down to the office and opened the door "ALISSA! Honey!" My mother sounded way too excited than usual and a bit shaky "The people at Polliani INC. had a draw for 5 million thousand, three hundred and eighty-five dollars and..and I WON!!" She was shaking and in huge sobs,  she was crying.....

"So, we'll be taking our stretch limo-with the pool- to Delisisno! But your father won't be coming with us, and..and..and". We got into the car-excuse me- limo and Veronica and I just disappeared into the fluffy sofa cushions of the huge sofa's all around us, "Heaven" I murmured. Otherwise, I wonder about the new girl in school, Paige Evans . She moved here from Tennessee  last fall after the mass shooting, where her dad died. Her Mom is the Sophia Evans and she is super pretty. I take out my iPhone and listen to "Some Nights" by F.U.N on Music. "Hey Mom" I said " I'm gonna go get a coke from the back. K?". My mother nods " Ok, Dear" " After Jessica's Restaurant  we'll be going to my old friend's house. Perhaps you know her daughter? Lacy Hu-" Veronica and I screamed "LACY HUTCHINGS??"My mom laughed while Veronica and I Cried hysterically on the sofas. Soon we were there,not at Lacy's, but at the restaurant ." Jessica!" My mom shouted "Kate!" she said back "It's so good to see you again" she exclaimed.. " So, What would You Girls like to eat?'' '' What do you serve'' i said cautiously '' We serve anything for family!'' Time passed and we left for Lacy's. 

The Limo arrived at Lacy's at half past 6 and Veronica and i got out of the limo and stretched while waiting for my mom. Veronica and I slouched all the way to the front door, grumbling, We rang the doorbell, Veronica and I complaining to James, our family driver and my mother. Lacy Hutchings finally opening the door and saying: ''Oh, It's you.'' in a blasted, disgusted tone. She yelled to somewhere in her house. ''MO-OM!'' and then she took the elevator up to her room. Principal Hutchings came and greeted us,''Kate!'' she exclaimed, ''You look amazing, I haven't seen you since the last PTA meeting, How is Tracy settling in at university?''. Tracy Lakes is my older sister, I really don't get why she went to a university which dosent have any sun! She's a Intern researcher in Alaska...''Veronica and Alissa, Hon, You can go upstairs''Ms.Hutchings, Veronica and I navigated up the stairs to wherever Lacy is. ''In here!''she said,her voice drifting in the hallway. We entered her sewing room...''Alissa! Veronica!..So glad to see you.." she said mockingly." So, Alissa, I think we should work on our Costume, So get your sketchbook." says Lacy " FIFI! I NEED THREE DOUBLE MOCHA PEPPERMINT CHOCOLATE LATTES WITH WIPPED CREAM AND BELGIAN CHOCOLATE SWIRLS, NOW!! Lacy yelled angrily in to the intercom. "Wow" I whispered to Jaimie " She got backbone". "Um.. Alissa, I told you like 5 seconds ago to get out your sketchbook" Said Lacy " Um.. Okay ? " shrugging my backpack of my shoulders, I reached in for my sketchbook as Lacy snatched it from me. "Oh wow Alissa, you are a great fashion designer"Lacy exclaimed."Anyways you guys, I talked with your moms the other day and she told me to give you guys this!!" Um.. What are we supposed to be looking at? asked Jaimie " This!!" exclaimed lacy proudly pointing behind her Desk " omigosh" i said " your All white labradoodle gave Birth??" Yup" she said " Two weeks ago." And we get to keep them?" Asked Jaimie again " Do birds fly?" asked Lacy " YEAH!!!!!" I snuggle one Underneath my chin regretting the uncharitable thoughts about her Earlier.. I murmur in to her snuggly white hair " I'm gonna name you Puff". "FI-FI!!!" Lacy yelled " Where are our lattes!!" Right here Miss Hutchings" Said Fifi very nervously. " "Fifi, you did this all wrong.. The Belgian chocolate swirls aren't in order" Lacy whined " I'll show you how to do it" Lacy walked down the stairs with Fifi to the Kitchen. " Alissa, you never told me that your a fashion designer" said Jaimie in a quiet voice. " The reason that I never told you is because, I knew that you would make a huge deal out of it and tell your dad". Jaimie's dad is a famous men fashion designer." I wouldn't have because I don't want to lose my best friend to all the Critics and the world of fame,."I'm really sorry I didn't tell you before" I said " for a present, since my mom won the lottery, we can go to Paris for Spring Break!!" OMIGOSH!!!!" Jaimie yelled. " I know right!!, Paris is gonna be Awesome!" I said excitedly " No I-its that!" Jaimie yelled in to the distance. A week later we are at Fifi's funeral. She got shot by the gunman who crept in to Lacy's house. Rev. Paul spoke " We are gathered here today... To celebrate the life of Fifi Germaine. She had a wonderful life full of happy moments and sad ones as well. May I invite Lacy Hutchings to the podium" Now Lacy spoke " Fifi, she was like a second mother who always had cared for me like I was her own daughter, she has left a hole in my heart that no-one else can fill. Thank you Fifi" she ended sadly " Dear me, I never thought that i would outlive my daughter" I overheard from Fifi's mother. The next day at school everybody had payed their respects to Lacy. " I'm so sorry Lacy" " It'sso sad" someone said sadly. Fashion with Ms. Thompson came at 3rd and 4th Period. This time I still give Ms.Thompson's outfit a look - A blue long sleeved cashmere shirt, a mustard vest, jeans which are from Calvin Klein- acid washed-, and Überhuge fluffy black boots with Pom-poms," Ok so we studied fashion History, Right?" asked Ms Thompson " Yes" we chorused " Ok now get going on your Costumes.. The Drama department is getting ready to make a Film about Audrey Hepburn And we need a lot of costumes for the Show!" I take out my Sketchbook and show Lacy the Outfit that I sketched earlier at home with Puff and some chunky monkey chocoblast Ice cream.." Wow Alissa, this is amazing... Are you on the stage crew? " "Ya,I am" "Cool, Are you guys looking for more Members?" " Yeah, we are..Why? Do you want to join?" Yeah, I actually do.."Alright, so come with me after school to the Auditorium and you can talk with Mr. Khan-Salman Khan-.. So meet me by my locker Isaid " K" she replied,. The day passed by very quick.. I ran to my locker, not even looking, I stumbled in to the cutest guy in school, Brad Martin, spilling all my fashion papers in front of him.. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry Brad!"I exclaimed " It's ok Alissa.. I really like your sketches, May I walk you home?" Blushing-everyone was looking at me-I exclaimed, he knows my name! " Sure" As we walk to my house, he reaches down and holds my hand. Suddenly I feel my Teeth sharpening and have a craving for some BloodLa.. BloodLa was invented by my BVFF( best vampire friend ever) Daliah, it's a Sub drink for blood for young vampires and it comes in these bottles which look like Fiji and looks like Fiji too.. "Sorry Brad, I have to go!" I cried, running over the hills to my Daliahs house because her entire family are Vampire..Knocking Furiously I yell " DALIAH!" OPEN UP!" "What Happened??" "I ran out of BloodLa!" Can't you just tell your Mom?" "No, she's Human!" Just let me in!" As soon as I entered, I bolted towards the BloodLa MiniFridge, opened the Door and Gulped an entire bottle "Ahhhhh" Anyways Daliah, How's Life?" "Fine, Thank you very much, "she Replied. Daliah and I are about the same age but she has Medium sized Red hair and Purple Glasses and she has this really really pale waxy yellow skin..But take me for instance, Alissa Katie Lakes, Rosy skin, Bright Hazel eyes and Amazingly Silky brown hair with a beautiful pink cheeks and the exact opposite of Daliah "So how's the Villa in Transalvaynia?" "Good, but some stupid werewolf toilet-papered it.." Oh, Man that sucks.." Anyways, I gotta go, I told Lacy-Lacy Hutchings?Yeah- that I would meet her after-school cause she wants to be a part of the stage crew..But she had detention today so i have some time.."K, have a good time.."she said mockingly. I ran to Thorn Valley middle school as fast as I could and ran through the 8th Grade building to the Detention room and skidded to a stop.. waving at Lacy..Suddenly I realized that my Tiffany Toggle bracelet with my special engraving was gone.."Where did it go?"I thought in wonder.....

10 Super-Weird Celeb Diets...

Ashley Greene accidently starved herself during filming "Twilight Saga: New Moon". She worked 12 hours a day and had no time to eat so she lost a lot of weight

Being a Victoria's Secret Angel seems like a tough job.... Adriana Lima revealed that nine days before the annual fashion show she sticks to liquids and 12 hours before she stops drinking water just to purge water weight. Eh, sure hope she doesn't sweat a lot.

Megan Fox has said that the only way for her to get into shape is to drink a combo if apple-cider vinegar and water before every meal

Nicole Kidman was on a hardboiled egg diet while filming Cold Mountain. She simply had one egg in the morning and two eggs for dinner. Three if she was extra hungry. It must have been pretty boring.

Katie Holmes once decided to lose weight by strictly eating carrot soup for breakfast and raw broccoli for lunch and dinner. I'd starve to death!

 Madonna is sometimes on a diet called The Air Diet. It involves holding food but resisting from eating it. I think you missed the point of eating, Madonna!

Jennifer Aniston sometimes skips breakfast and drink a glass of freshly-squeezed lemon juice instead. She swears it's the best way of getting rid of fat. Sounds like a bad way to start the morning.

Beyonce was asked to lose weight when she filmed the movie Dreamgirls, so she went on the "Master Cleanse Diet" for 14 days: "I lived on water, cayenne pepper and maple syrup for 14 days. I was just shrinking and shrinking. People were like: “Are you OK?” I didn’t feel good," she said.

When Snooki didn't like what she saw in the mirror she started following Dr. Siegal's cookie diet. It consists of eating one meal a day and six cookies to suppress hunger. It doesn't sound healthy to me!

Reese Witherspoon is known for being a fan of baby food. Her diet involves eating baby food instead of breakfast and lunch, but in the evening she eats a proper meal.
