Jessica will be 14 years old in a month and a half. According to her mother's words, she will become a big girl. The so-called big girl is to do more of what she wants to do, and she can also have more little secrets. , but most importantly, you can go shopping and date with boys!
Moreover, even when fathers who have always been strict began to open up, of course, some requirements were not relaxed. You can do what you want, but you must be sure that it is right; dating a boy, you must Go home on time!
To be honest, there are a lot of interesting boys in the acting school. Jessica has accepted invitations from some boys before, but she always feels that this kind of date is too boring. She wants to go home every time it takes less than half an hour. No more than an hour long. She actually knew why, and the fact that she was dating guys was just trying to get away from it, but it didn't seem like it worked.
Dudu! The car horn blared outside, Jessica stuck to the window, waved her arm to the girl outside who was waving behind the window, then turned around and picked up the gift bag and ran to the door: "Mom, I'm going already."
"Okay, dear, come back early. If you want to stay at Angie's house for the night, remember to call home." Mom called out, sticking her head out of the kitchen.
"Got it, Mom." Jessica made a goodbye gesture to her mother, then opened the door and ran out to the side of the car, where the girl inside had opened the door for her. Hi Lindsay, how are you? "Jessica kissed each other in the face happily, and then said hello to the driver: "Hello, Ryan Stein." "
"Hello, Jessica, please get in the car and sit down. I think we'd better go back as soon as possible. Angela should be in a hurry." Pu Guanshui looked at the rearview mirror and didn't start the car until the girl got in the car and sat down. move forward.
"Wow. Jessie, you look so pretty, did you just get off a date?" Lindsay giggled as she looked at Jessica, who was wearing a red blouse with a floral knot and a black jacket with white trim , followed by a short white skirt to the knee. With white stockings, black and white small leather shoes, and brown hair with big waves, it is really a standard lady's dress, which looks beautiful and cute.
"When you go to Angie's house, you always have to dress formally. Do you want to wear pajamas?" Jessica shrugged.
"It's not the first time I've been there, so Angie won't care. She'll welcome her even if she wears pajamas!" Lindsay said, holding up her exposed legs, "Look, I I didn't even dress up."
Lindsay dresses plainly. The beige long-sleeved T-shirt is covered with a dark brown vest, and then there are denim shorts above the knees, plus blue and white sneakers. Although simple, it reflects the cuteness and playfulness of the little girl.
"Really. Then maybe you can ask Ryan to drive back. Then I'll find you a pajama. Then how about you wear it to Angie's birthday party?" Jessica looked at the little guy with her arms crossed.
"Well... that's right. What birthday present did you prepare?" Lindsay, who was in a bad situation, immediately changed the subject. Jessica didn't chase after her. He raised the bag in his hand: "You can guess, you know what Anji likes anyway."
"Don't do this, Jesse." Lindsay rolled her eyes helplessly. "Yes, I know Angie likes things we make ourselves. But I'm not good at guessing, so don't test me like that."
"Okay, my present is a chocolate cake I made myself." Jessica took the beautifully packaged box out of it. It's the size of two palms. "Although it's a little smaller, I did it all by myself from start to finish."
"This is great, maybe I should learn to cook too." Lindsay said with some envy. Her present is still a bracelet, which just matched the one from last year.
"It doesn't matter, dear. What matters is that we do it with our hands and heart!" Jessica smiled.
It took about half an hour to get up to Beverly Hills and came to the outside of the villa. After the door opened, the two girls who were chatting happily noticed something unusual. There were many vehicles parked in the parking lot. There was a faint burst of loud music from the garden behind the villa, and the servants were constantly walking between the house and the garden, which looked very lively, not like a small party.
The car stopped in front of the villa, Jessica and Lindsay got out of the car together, and a few seconds later, Angela ran out of the house: "Hi, welcome to my house, dear friends!"
"Happy birthday, Angie!" Lindsay rushed up first, her feet jumped up and wrapped around the opponent's neck, the huge momentum made Angela who was hugging her back several steps: "God, You are so enthusiastic."
Jessica hesitated for a while, and followed her up to hug her, but she still resisted slightly.
"Jesse, between us..." Angela, who was holding her, looked at her with puzzled eyes, but Jessica didn't want to discuss this, and calmly took out the box and handed it to her: "Happy birthday, Angie."
"Thank you, can I open it now?" Angela didn't ask, just raised the box in her hand.
"Oh, of course, I don't mind," Jessica said with a smile.
The box was opened, and a delicate brown cake appeared in front of me. It was beautifully done. It could be seen that the maker was very attentive, and even the handwriting on it was elegant. The only regret is that the characters below Happy Birthday The image is a little miserable.
"I tried my best to draw, but you know..." Jessica gestured to explain.
"It doesn't matter, Jessie, even if I painted it with cream, it wouldn't be better. I think this should be the most delicious cake." Angela said and looked around, there was basically nothing else around. People, and Pu Guanshui, who had just parked his car and walked over, turned his back to her naturally after meeting her eyes.
Then the girl pulled off a small piece with her hands without any image, threw it into her mouth, chewed it a few times and exclaimed intoxicated: "It's really good, this is indeed the most delicious cake I've ever eaten!"
The sneaky and exaggerated expression made Jessica and Lindsay burst into laughter. Pu Guanshui, who heard the laughter, glanced back furtively, and then turned his head back.
"Okay, wait for me to put the cake in the kitchen, and then go to the back garden together, um... everyone is there," said here. Angela showed a helpless wry smile, "I'm so sorry, Jessie, I originally planned to get together just the three of us, but... Mom gave me a surprise, she turned my birthday party into a dance. Not only did she invite me Many of my classmates, as well as the children of some people who usually communicate with each other..." The girl sighed and spread her hands.
"It's okay, Angie, it's your birthday anyway." Jessica didn't care.
"That means there's an unlimited supply of soda?" Lindsay interjected with a grin.
"Don't drink so many carbohydrates, or you will become a little fat girl!" Angela tapped her on the head lightly, "Wait for me, come back soon!"
It's not an exaggeration to describe the garden with a lot of voices, many men and women mingling with each other and laughing loudly. By the barbecue grill on the grass, the chefs kept flipping the sizzling pieces of meat, and the table next to it was full of food that young people liked. There was a huge sound box on the side of the specially designated dance floor, playing different dance music, and then pairs of young men and women danced to the rhythm of dance steps that they didn't even know.
"Mr. Jared is so generous, my dad wouldn't allow the garden to be used like this." Jessica, who was standing near the dance floor, muttered softly while looking at the noisy crowd around her.
Angela accompanied them to the garden for less than two minutes before being dragged away, and then Lindsay followed her around a few times and then ran away alone, leaving her to wander around alone.
"Hi, hello, beautiful lady, I'm Dennis Chuck, can I invite you to a dance?" A boy who looked like Hispanic came to her and made an invitation.
Maybe try it, Jessica said to herself in her heart, and nodded, "I'm honored."
The biggest advantage of self-entertainment type of dance is that the dancer can freely perform it. Of course, it is difficult to say whether it is beautiful or ugly. I think I dance very well, but it is common for people around me to feel ugly, but The boy in front of him was full of energy, especially his mouth:
"You are so beautiful, may I know your name?"
"You dance well, is it your first time?"
"Where have I seen you? Seriously, you look familiar."
But Jessica just smiled and didn't say a word from start to finish, ending when she turned and left. Only then did he shrug and say, "You can call me Angela's friend!" After speaking, he ran away quickly.
After running into the villa, the girl stopped. Thinking of the enthusiastic look on that guy's face, I wanted to laugh, but it quickly turned into a wry smile, and she was still the most figure in my heart!
At this moment, an angry voice suddenly came from the corner: "I have already apologized, what else do you want?!"
This is... Lindsay? Jessica hurried over, and when she turned the corner, she saw two sixteen and seventeen girls standing in front of Lindsay, looking at her with a sneer.
"What happened?" Jessica asked hurriedly.
"Jesse!" As soon as Lindsay saw her, she ran in front of her, pouting, her face full of grievances.
"Your helper is here?" The taller girl folded her arms and looked at Lindsay and Jessica with condescending eyes. Her face was a little fat, and her cheeks were dotted with freckles. She was probably her sister beside her. , is also a chubby face, with the same unhappy expression on her face as her sister.
"If I can, I want to know what's going on, I'm her friend." Jessica patted Lindsay lightly, and replied calmly while watching the other party.
son.
"She lied!" Lindsay immediately exclaimed, "she hit me! The cuff was also damaged because of it! She blamed me for this, and I was so angry that I called them meat floss bread. , Besides, I have already apologized!"
"I think it's a misunderstanding." Jessica reassured Lindsay and looked at each other.
"Misunderstanding? Are you talking about the TV star friends you believe in? It's hard to imagine that there are people like this!" The tall girl said with a sneer, when her sister suddenly pulled her and stood on tiptoe She whispered something in her ear. The tall girl first showed a look of surprise, then turned into a sneer.
"I said what happened, it turned out to be a little star, no wonder you two are so similar, well, today is Angie's birthday party. I will not pursue it," she said, after a deliberate pause here, " Let me give you a piece of advice, don't think that after making a few movies and getting to know Anji, Anji will treat you as friends, although Anji also makes movies, he is different from you guys!"
Saying that, she lifted her chin proudly and looked at her sister: "You know, Ellie, I heard that actresses born as child stars will become ugly in the future. If you want to have a chance to perform, you have to cooperate with The producer goes to bed, poor bitch." Her sister shrugs it's okay, and they both start giggling. Jessica's face was pale, but she desperately pulled the angry Lindsay to prevent her from messing around.
At this moment, a voice rang out coldly: "Give it to me! Shut up!"
The first person who appeared in front of him was Lisa Jobs. At that time, Angela didn't realize that there was anything wrong, and just welcomed Lisa's arrival. But as more and more people appeared, especially after a group of people from the film company came with their girlfriends, she finally understood that there was something she didn't know.
"That's right, Mrs. Elena feels that you can expand your social circle now, such as holding a party at home, and then inviting your friends to participate." Facing the girl's questioning, Jennifer explained.
"But this is my birthday party!" Angela was dumbfounded and turned to look at Annie, who immediately raised her hands: "I swear, I don't know at all!"
The girl shook her head helplessly, and could only continue to greet the guests. Many people came, including classmates from the school, such as Claire, Mary, and the others from the film club; there were also those who often attended the reception held by her father. People's sons and daughters and stuff, like the bitter-talking Flossy Bread sisters, Barbara Larter and Allie Larter, plus their dance partners, there were maybe sixty or seventy people, and that made Angela in the stomach. complaining constantly. There are too many people invited by my mother!
Fortunately, the servants at home have already prepared, and everything is well arranged. She only needs to greet the guests as the host. Although there are many unknown people among the guests, there are also many familiar people, such as—
"Dear Angie, you are so bad, you went to the film club without a word, and all the girls with great potential that I saw went to you! This made me miss the national championship, and you owe me! "Laura Roosevelt hugged Angela from behind and said half-jokingly.
"Okay, Laura, you've been nagging for half a year. Are you going to keep nagging? Besides, when you ran for the president of the student union, I helped you to get the votes, and we've settled!" Angela didn't move! Leaving her arm sensually, then left quickly.
Fortunately, she didn't forget the most important thing. She received Jessica and Lindsay outside for the first time. After she explained the situation, the two of them had no objection and came to the garden with her. Although Angela wanted to accompany them, people came to greet her from time to time, and some familiar people simply pulled her away, which made her very depressed. To be honest, if this dance was not prepared for her by her mother, I am afraid She had already released the pigeons of this group.
"Listen, guys, about this matter, I'll let you know when I'm ready for the summer vacation. You don't need to think about it so much now." Facing the men and women of the film club, Angela spread her hands like this Said, as Laura said, the power of an idol is endless. After she joined the film club, some boys and girls who followed her also asked to join the film club, but Louis was not the kind of person who thought that the more people in the club, the more The better chairman, after a lot of hard work, finally only approved the application of two women and one man, which was cheaper for a cooperative performance club.
"Well, it doesn't matter, as long as you need us to be on call at any time!" The outspoken Jim made a funny American military salute, which caused a lot of laughter.
"You look handsome." Morris whistled.
Louis shook his head with a smile, then looked at the girl: "Well, we owe you anyway, it's up to you to arrange it."
"Then it's settled!" Angela said with a smile, and at this moment, a hand was placed on her shoulder: "Hey, boys, if you don't mind, I'm going to borrow today's star."
"It's all right. Use it!" Jim exclaimed, "but you'll have to ask her for her own opinion, she's not ours!"
Amidst the laughter, the girl looked up. In fact, she had already heard whose voice it was. Sure enough, Lisa with a ponytail appeared in her sight!
"Hey, want to chat with me?" Lisa blinked, looking playful.
"It's an honor." Angela laughed, and the two of them said goodbye to the group of people in the film club, and walked slowly to a more secluded place together.
"This is the first time I've attended your birthday party?" Lisa looked at Angela with her chin on her hand.
"I think about it, 80 years doesn't count, the first time in 1982, the second time in 1986, the third time in 1990, this is the fourth time." The girl counted with her fingers.
"Just a few times?" Lisa nodded her head with her finger, thought about it carefully, and finally had to admit, "Well, it is indeed the fourth time."
Followed her and asked with great interest: "It's unimaginable, do you still remember when you were 2 years old?"
"My memory is very good, Lisa." Angela shrugged, "I remember it clearly, including the expression on your face when you pointed at me and said you wanted a toy like me."
"Oh! Is it? I'm so honored." Lisa laughed, and she couldn't help laughing every time she said this, "Okay, okay, the toy I want is now available. If you can be considered successful, you can invest in my father's company. Oh, your achievements have far exceeded many adults, you are indeed a genius, no wonder you can come up with such an idea! "
"An idea? What idea?" Angela asked hurriedly.
"Oh, it's Toy Story, a really good cartoon."
"Have you seen it?" Angela was a little surprised. "They told me that the first preview will be in the studio on March 24th."
"It's the 24th indeed," Lisa shrugged. "I watched it at the end of last month, and I only watched it for about 60 minutes. It's not fully finished yet, but even so, it still feels good."
"Really, that's great, I'm starting to look forward to the preview." Angela said excitedly, and Pixar was about to take off!
At this moment, a small figure in the distance disappeared in a flash. It was Lindsay. Angela rolled her eyes and looked at the people around her. She just happened to find her and Jessica, and then went to get the chocolate together. The cake is dry!
"Okay, Lisa, I'm going to find someone else, have fun." Angela greeted Lisa and quickly ran to the place where the little guy disappeared.
However, after walking several outer corridors from where Lindsay left, the girl was nowhere to be seen, and the maid she met on the way said she hadn't seen it, so where did she go? Angela thought for a while, and suddenly remembered that maybe she went to the bathroom, so she turned around and walked back, and after a few steps to return to the original place, Jessica's voice suddenly entered her ears: "If possible, I think I know what's going on, I'm her friend"
What's wrong? Angela hurried over and looked at the corner. Jessica and Lindsay were on one side, while Barbara and Ellie were on the other side!
The girl frowned. She really didn't like these two sisters. In this circle, there were only a few people who made friends like Angela at will, and more of them were wearing masks. They are enthusiastic and generous to the children in the same circle, and politely keep a distance outside the circle; there are also some people who flatter those in the circle, and mock those outside the circle as much as possible. This pair of sisters is typical of them.
Angela was about to step forward to interrupt their conversation when she suddenly heard Barbara say that Lindsay called them Floss Bread. She couldn't help but smiled knowingly. After this pause, she heard Barbara's series of vicious words pop out. The girl was stunned for a while at first, and then her face suddenly turned pale, especially after hearing the phrase "bitch", she clenched her fists, walked out and coldly gritted her teeth, "Give it to me! Shut up!"
Both sides were stunned. After seeing who it was, Barbara immediately smirked: "Hi, Angie..."
"I said shut up!" Angela walked up to her with a frosty face, her eyes cold so that the other party could not speak. The girl pointed at Jessica, and said word by word, "Apologies to my friend!"
"An… Ji?"
"Call my name!"
"Okay...Okay, Angela, it's not my fault." Barbara had never seen Angela like this before, so she couldn't help but panic and hurriedly defended herself.
The girl didn't interrupt her, and quietly waited for her to finish before turning to look at Lindsay: "Have you apologized, Lindsay?"
"Of course! But that sleeve is not my fault! She hit me first!" Lindsay exclaimed confidently.
"Then it's up to you, Miss Latt." Angela looked at Barbara again, and when she started calling others' names, she indicated that she was no longer going to be polite.
And Barbara didn't realize it at all, she opened her mouth wide, ignored pulling her sister, pretended to be a victim and screamed: "Angela, how can you trust them! They are just two bitches. …”
Before she could say it, her collar tightened, and Angela's face was close at hand, her cold green eyes were full of anger: "If you dare to say that word again, you will know how regret is written, I promise. !"
The other party shivered all over, and immediately stopped obediently, and then the girl let go of her hand and pointed to Jessica and Lindsay on the side again: "Apologize to my friend!"
Barbara moved her lips and was completely suppressed by Angela's momentum. Finally, with a slight trembling, she lowered her head and said to Jessica with her sister Ellie, "I'm very, very sorry."
Following the two of them, they walked away quickly. After their backs disappeared, Lindsay cheered and hugged Angela from behind: "Thank you, Angie!"
The iceberg-like face thawed immediately, Angela hugged the little guy, and said with a smile: "Okay, tell me Lindsay, how did you think of the word meat floss bread?"
"Looking at their faces, it's natural to think of it."
"Oh, so we're on the same page."
The girl grinned and played with Lindsay, completely unaware that she was threatening others before, but soon she stopped again, put away her smile and looked at Jessica who was still standing on the side.
"Well, well, I think I have to apologize, Jesse," Angela scratched her head, "I'm so sorry for you being wronged, there's no way, some people are so annoying and just… talk nonsense."
She looked at Jessica worriedly: "I don't think it will affect our friendship, right?"
Jessica looked at her, turned her head to the other side again, bit her lip, and then rushed up and hugged Angela tightly, she was so hard, as if nothing could separate them.
Angela was a little surprised at first, but then she hugged Jessica tightly. There was no sense of alienation in this hug. It felt so good to go back to the beginning after going through the separation!
At this moment, the girl suddenly understood why she felt familiar with that sense of alienation. Just a few years ago, after returning from the filming of "Born Together" in London, when she had crazy thoughts about Jessica because of psychological problems, There is such a detached relationship between the two!
