kendall aryes is sleeping. a restless sleep, that is. the thoughts buzzing through her head are keeping her awake.
tomorrow is homecoming, her first one. ‘freshmen homecoming is important, kendall.’ her best friend had told her, ‘it’s where you find all the cute boys for the rest of the year!’ that, she hadn’t thought was true. band camp started a week before school, and so far the only boys she saw that were cute were taken, and she didn’t dare try to be a home wrecker. she wrote all about it in her journal.

i know i’m not pretty.
i know i’m not skinny.
i know i’m not important.
homecoming is tomorrow, and I don’t have a date. I didn’t expect to get one, but andi did. she’s going with chris, a guy she doesn’t even like! and that just wrecked our homecoming plans.
if you ask me, i think it’s mean, leading that poor guy on like that. but then again, he sent nudes so i guess she might want something out of that. we’re only 14! i wouldn’t do anything like that.
andi is drifting. she’s hanging out with jessie more, she’s stayed at her house for 5 whole days while we were on break.
she also got mad at me for hanging out with elle and hannah lately, i don’t understand it. it’s whatever, i’ll get over it. until next time,

“yo, kendall jenner!” kendall’s head looked up from her phone and looked around for who had called her the ridiculous nickname.
today was saturday, homecoming was tonight and she was walking to the gas station to grab snapple, the apple kind was her favorite.
she looked around the square but didn’t see anything except the green leaves starting to turn brown around the fountain, and some littered the ground, and the found stood proudly, spouting water from the 5 different spouts around it. she shrugged it off.
none of her friends could drive yet so she assumed it was one of her junior or sophomore friends. she’d made a few of them at band camp.
she sighed, her dirty converse kicked the rocks beneath her feet as she walked down the familiar pathway to her house in the middle of town.
her older brother, eli, was a senior. he sat in the living room, with his girlfriend lily. “ken.” he said without looking up from the television, “andi said you weren’t answering your phone, so she told me to tell you go to her house around 3 to get ready.” his blue eyes flickered to hers and she nodded. “okay. but i thought lily was doing my makeup?” she furrowed her brow, and lily nodded.
“i was looking forward to it! just tell her you gotta cancel. i have the perfect look for you, kid.” lily sang and wrapped an arm around kendall. kendall smiled, “i’ll call her right now- oh! do you mind doing elle and hannah’s makeup too? they’re coming over later.”
“the more the merrier.” kendal smiled at her. lily was nice, and always there to help. she didn’t have any sisters, and neither did lily. so they each got a sister out of the deal, and lily got eli; it was a win-win situation.
kendall took out her phone and dialed the familiar number to andi’s cell.
“hello?” andi spoke first.
“hey, i can’t come over later. lily wants to do my makeup so i said she could.”
the line went quiet for a moment. “isn’t lily your brothers girlfriend?′ she asked.
kendall nodded her head then realized andi couldn’t see her, so she spoke up; “yeah.”
andi laughed. “ha! that skank? i thought they broke up!” kendall frowned at the word ‘skank’. lily was not one of them. “what do you mean skank?” she asked. “i mean, she’s a whore. didn’t you hear? there’s a rumor she hooked up with like 3 guys last summer, and sucked them all off at the same time!”
kendall thought back to last summer. every other year, their family went camping all summer, and lily went with them. she couldn’t have ‘sucked 3 guys off at the same time’. plus, kendall knew how in love with her brother that lily was, she just couldn’t see her doing that.
“that’s not true.” she said simply.
“how do you know?” andi asked with humor in her voice. kendall got angry.
“she went camping with us last year. you shouldn’t believe rumors, andi. they aren’t true.”
andi laughed, “yeah, whatever. have fun with the skank-” kendall cringed, “-also, genevine invited me and jessie to her house for a little after party, so don’t worry about us. later!” and the line went dead.
unshed tears were in kendall’s clear blue eyes and she thought over what andi said. lily wouldn’t do that. she knew her, her sister, lilly, and she would never.
“hey, kid when- hey, hey, hey what’s wrong? ” lily’s voice came into her room and became concerned when she saw the tears in kendall’s eyes.
“andi told me something. it’s not true, i know that, but it’s really nasty.” she spoke, her voice and little wavering.
“what was it? about you?”
“about you.”
lily laughed, “tell me what the punk ass freshmen said about me, it’s not true i already know it.”
“she said that last summer,” kendall swallowed big, “that you cheated on my brother with- three guys” her voice dropped to a whisper, if eli heard this he’d flip shit like nobodies business.
lily’s laughing nature now change to discuss. “that would never happen. you know that, kid. i love that idiot too much.” she said carefully, so kendall wouldn’t miss anything and understand completely.
“that’s what i told her.”
