Living the high life

this only the beginning of the struggles Casey will face. are you ready for this ride?

"Okay class as you all know summer vacation is less than 6 weeks away and all you must have your final reports ready." Mrs. Swanson said as she walked around the large classroom.

 

"So for those you that haven't started your papers I suggest you start now."  

Ms. Swanson said while staring at me. I hate her voice it was like nails on a chalk board.

 

Her voice is squeaky and light but deep and manly at the same time it freaked me out. 

I couldn’t take listening to her voice for 45 minutes straight every day. Ms. Swanson is big woman with curly oily brown hair and big thick glasses to cover her far apart brown eyes. 

Her fashion is terrible she wears the same ugly dress and the same black shoes every day. 

I felt sad for to be honest I mean she's not married and I’m pretty sure she's a 65 year old virgin. No man in his right mind would date her. Hell if I was a man I wouldn't date her.

 

"Mrs. Carson am I boring you?"

"Are you too good to listen to what I have to say?"

She asked with irritation. 

"No Ms. Swanson you’re not... But your horrible dress is blinding me." 

"That's why I can listen to what you have to say because your dress is making me sick" 

I said with Laughter. 

 

In That Moment the entire class was laughing at Ms. Swanson and I loved every minute of It, that b***h needed to be knocked down off her pedestal. 

"Casey Carson to the office NOW!" 

Ms. Swanson said with rage.

I grabbed my Louie Vuitton book bag and stormed out of class. 

It made me feel kind of good that I had the entire class laughing. I even had Jessie Johnson laughing which made my heart skip a couple of beats.

 

Jessie Johnson is the hottest guy in school and my biggest crush. I've been crushing on him since freshman year. I Mean of course I went out with other guys and they were nice guys but Jessie just has that "It" Thing it's hard to explain. He's the Captain of the football team and takes all honors’ classes. His amazing dark blonde hair and blue eyes and milky white skin would make any girl head spin a couple of times and my God he has a body of a goddess I melt every time just thinking about him. 

 

Walking to the principal’s office is like a daily routine for me. I'm always in some kind of trouble and if kept this up daddy would never get me a car. When I finally got to the office no one, was there not even Ms. Finley there was a big poster hanging over her desk saying  

"New America Academy prepping our children for the real world" In other words waste your money here. This school is bullshit and lies if you ask me. "New America” or for short N.A. is a private school. Only the high class is allowed to go to this school if your parents didn't make over 3 million a year there was no way you were getting into this school.  The Hallways are always squeaky clean and the classrooms are huge. 

This school always has the newest equipment from brand new computers to new chemistry equipment we have everything you could think of here. Lunch is just as extravagant as the school most schools you eat the “tuna special” but not here. We ate Steak and caviar for lunch and omelets and Sausage for breakfast. Ms. Finley must have walked past me and I didn't notice because she started talking to me out of the blue. 

 

"What did you this time Casey?"  She asked. 

Ms. Finley is much younger than a lot of the teachers here at N.A. and much prettier. She has to be in her mid-20 or late 20's one or the other. She has long copper colored hair and she is about 5'10 she has great has a great tan and she’s so pretty to where it hurts to even look for at her for a long period of time and not envy her. She walks with such elegance.

 

"Nothing the usual I commented on Ms. Swanson's Horrible fashion and now I'm here can you make this quick. I have math test in about 10 minutes." 

I Snapped at her. 

Even though I admired Ms. Finley she is prettier than me and I hate b*****s that are prettier than me. I think she mumbled under her breath and called me b***h. That's what most of the teachers and students called me anyway so it didn't bother me one bit. 

 

"Mr. Watson will see you now" Ms. Finley said with a fake smile. 

"Thank You" I Answered. 

 

I love when I get under people's skin it's one of my best qualities. I Walked in Mr. Watson's office it was kind of small compared to the school His office is pretty plain there's not too much in there besides an old wooden desk and an old computer. 

I Sat down in one of his cheap leather chairs and waited for him to speak. 

 

"I find it very interesting that you’re always in my office, so I understand that you talked about Ms. Swanson's fashion?" 

Mr. Watson asked as he walked around the small office. 

"I guess" I said nonchalantly

"I should suspend you" 

"But you won't, do you think my daddy will be happy with that?" 

He made a face and started to pace back and forth faster. I knew he was scared of my daddy and I most defiantly used that to my advantage. I think they went to high school together or something because every time I said something about my dad he would flinch.

"Fine we don't have to get your father involved in this.” He said as he sat down at his desk. 

"So I'm going to give you week's detention." 

"A week’s detention?" I said with depression. 

"Yes a week." he answered

"What you did is a week's suspension you should be happy"

"Fine" I Said with anger 

 

Mr. Watson started writing out a yellow detention slip. 

"Here you go Mrs. Carson."

He handed me the slip and I walked out. 

Before I went to my next class I had to make sure I looked okay. Jessie was going to be in my next class. I opened my locker and pulled my mirror out and fluffed my long big brown hair. I pulled my mascara out and started applying some to my lashes. I Love my eyes their ice blue and sexy. The only thing I do hate about myself is my small breast I have to wear these uncomfortable push-up bras. My pale skin got under my skin too but mother always told me that it’s okay to different and I believed her. I'm not that tall either but I made up for that by wearing heels. I started walking in heels at the age of 10 and at age 15 I became a pro at it. The Bell started to ring and I didn't want to be late or hear my teacher b***h the entire period, so I rushed to class.

 

The Rest of school was boring and long. I was so glad it was finally over. 

"Hey Casey you ready?" Jamie asked. 

"Of course let's blow this Popsicle stand." I answered back. 

Jamie is my best and only friend. We've been friends since kindergarten. Jamie looks exactly like me expect Jamie has long dark hair. We have the same body type the same color eyes sometimes people mistaken us for twins. I jumped in her Pink Audi R8. Jamie just turned 16 last week and this is one of birthday gift's she got from her dad. A custom made car and she is the only one that has it. I'm pretty sure this car cost about 400,000 dollars but like me money wasn't a problem to her family. The Interior is sick! Pink and black leather seats a brand new CD player and flat screen TV's in the back seat. That just meant I had to outdo her when my birthday came. It's only 3 months away and I wanted everything to be 10 times better than the things Jamie's got. 

 

Even though me and Jamie are friends it's always been a competition between us if Jamie got a Louie Vuitton bag I had to 3 bags and a dress just to outdo her. It's weird I know but that's how we are. 

"Is that a yellow slip I see? Mr. Watson wasn't so nice this time." Jamie Teased. 

"No biggie I'll just tell daddy that I stayed late for math club or something." 

"Ha you math club?" Jamie started laughing so hard it looked like her head was about to pop off. 

"Whatever" I said while rolling my eyes. 

"So what's up for the weekend?" Jamie asked. 

"Hmm...” I said to myself

Good question how about the Hampton's?" I Asked. 

"Eww no it's so boring out there."

"Ooh I know how about Steve's going away party?" 

"You know Jessie is going to be there" Jamie said in a high voice while smiling at me. 

"Fine it's plan" I said smiling back. 

 

This is why I love living  in the upper east side of New York there was always something to do whether there was a huge party or if I just wanted to sit by the pool in the Hampton's and do nothing there’s is never a dull moment in New York.  

"Well here we are thanks for the ride Jamie I'll call you." 

"Yeah see you b***h" Jamie yelled as she pulled off. 

 

My house is so beautiful and I’m not just saying that because it's my house I really mean it. We have a cobble stone trial that leads to our house and were the only house that has that. You’re greeted by tall wooden doors and cobble stone stairs. I live in a gated community in New York so most of the houses looked like rich people lived there.  This is true the mortgage here is very expensive and the waiting lists to get in one of these are crazy. But my daddy had our house built from the ground up so everything in our home is custom made.  The Average person would probably say that our house is over the top but to me it's just home. When you first walk in you will be greeted by a huge foyer and marble floors and walls with a chandler hanging from the ceiling. Statues and expensive painting surrounded our house with a spiral staircase in the middle of the house.  

 

"Dear is that you?" my mom called out.

"Yes it is mother I just got in from school." I yelled back. 

My mother is a very elegant woman she always has her hair in a bun. She has blonde hair and ice cold blue eyes just like me. My mom is very tall well she had to be she used to be a model back in the 90's, She is about 5'11.She had on white pants suit with this beautiful emerald pendent. That is mother's prize possession it was passed down for generations from mother to child and I was next in line to get it. Mother and I aren't that close we barely talk but whenever there party guest around we were the best of friends or at least pretended to be. Mother throws parties for the neighborhood for every big occasion you could think of Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Hell even St. Patrick’s Day. 

"Honey I need you to pick out something formal to wear. Darling we are throwing a big party for you father." 

"Why are we throwing another party?" I Asked

"I think he should tell you its really big news." Mother said with enthusiasm. 

"Okay fine I’ll ask daddy"

Okay dear make sure to be down for dinner" Mother said while answering her cell phone. 

Today was such a long day and the first thing I wanted to do was get out of this hideous school uniform. I hate wearing it every day. I have to wear these horrible checker skirts and plain white shirts and don't get me started on those horrible black blazer jackets with N.A. plastered all over the back of the jackets. I went into my closet to find something to wear my closet is about 2 stores big I had every fashion designer imaginable in there and half of these clothes I never even worn. I Grabbed me a pair of Calvin klein Jeans and a cute t-shirt that got a got a few weeks ago. Even though I liked to dress up I am more of a t-shirt and jeans kind of girl when I’m at home in all honesty. Mother hates that I walk around the house in jeans. She says that "Women must carry themselves with grace and charm no matter where they are" I hated that about mother, carry yourself like this, walk like this way, and eat this way. Blah blah blah. 

 

I knew daddy was home so I went down to his office to see what the big party was for. "Princess" daddy smiled 

"Hey daddy I missed you how was your day?" I said with joy 

"My day was hectic as usual."

"How was school honey did you learn anything?"

"School was school and of course I learned a lot." Despite me getting sent to the office I thought to myself. 

"Daddy I heard you have big news for me?" I said eagerly 

"Oh that" daddy said dryly. 

"Yeah that, mother made a big deal about it so I wanted to know what all the commotion was about" 

"Your mother makes a commotion about everything" Daddy laughed 

"But yes I do have big news I got a bonus and the business is doing really well so your mother felt like we needed to celebrate. 

Daddy's phone started to ring 

"This James Carson Uh-huh, Uh-huh well fix it I didn't invest all this money for you to play with it" Daddy Yelled. 

 

I just waved goodbye and walked out. Daddy spent his life in that office all he had in there was a phone, a computer and a desk with pictures of me and mother in his office. Daddy is a stock broker and has been one for as long I could remember. He works so hard when he finished college he went straight to work and started from the bottom and made his way all the way to the top. Now he owns his own company. That was daddy a hardworking man and that's what I loved most about him. Not to brag but my daddy is a very good looking man he's 6'2 with dark brown hair and brown eyes. Daddy is a lean man he works out 6 days a week with a great tan. For him to be in his late 40's he doesn't look a day over 25. I Love my daddy he always got me what I wanted but not just that he would actually listen to me and ask me questions. Unlike mother all she cares about is making appearances and planning parties. Even though daddy worked at home he still wore a suit every day. Which was kind of weird but I guess daddy was trying to give his professional look twenty four seven.

"Casey would be a dear and help me set the table?" Mother asked. 

I knew it was a mistake walking past the kitchen. 

"Sure mother." 

 

The dining room is a big gorgeous room. It’s my favorite room in the house. We ate in this room in this room every night for dinner even though both of my parents are very busy they both made a promise that we would have a family dinner every night. Of course a chandler hanged over the room that was with every room in the house. We have plates and sliver wear from just about every country you could think of. We have plates and sliver wear from Paris, Greece, London, and Japan. Mother loves to collect things from different things from different countries that is a hobby of hers. We visit a new country every summer. Hopefully we visit Brazil this summer. I heard the weather out there is amazing. I took out the china because mother thinks china is good luck and whatever mother says goes. After I set the table mother called daddy down for dinner. Mother made beef steak and stuffed baked potatoes. Mother doesn’t strike you as a woman that cooks but she actually can cook.

“This looks great Karen.” Daddy smiled.

“Thank you sweetheart” mother said with glee.

That’s what I love about my parents. They always looked at each other with love in their eyes. My parents have been married for 15 years. They met in high school and been in love since then. They have the kind of love most people dream about. Hell the kind of love I dream about.

 

“So when is daddy’s big party?” I asked interrupting they’re gaze.

“Actually it’s this Saturday so if you have any plans you’re going to have to cancel it.” Mother Answered.

“But mom I had plans this weekend.” I Cried

“Jamie and I wanted to go to this party this weekend.”

“Well I’m sorry princess but I really do need you there this event is very important to me.” Daddy pleaded to me.

I Sighed I couldn’t believe that I was going to miss out on one of the biggest parties of the sophomore year.

“Listen princess how about I give you my black card and you can go shopping on me.” Daddy flashed me a loving smile. I hated when he made that face. It always made me feel like I was 6 years old again.

“Okay fine but under one condition.” I said sounding like a lawyer.

“And what condition is that princess?” daddy asked.

“Jamie comes to the party too.”

“Fine let’s shake one that”

“Deal” We said together.

 

Even though we shook on it someway somehow I was going to that party. The next few days seem to fly by. Before I knew it was Friday. Right after school Jamie and I drove down to Soho to look for dresses for daddy’s party.  

“Do you think this is formal enough?” Jamie asked with confusion. Jamie had been trying on different dresses all day long and still couldn’t find anything.

“Who cares, just find a dress so we can go.” I said

“Okay Fine, Fine, Fine.” Jamie said back. 
“The red or the blue?” Jamie Asked.

“Definitely the red it brings out your eyes” I said while sucking in my cheeks laughing.

After sitting in the boutique for 3 hours we finally found dresses to wear. I got a small white dress

Designed by Zac Posen and a Small red cocktail dress designed by Marc Jacobs because knowing mother there would be another party in the near future. Jamie got her a red and black dress she couldn’t choose so she got both. After leaving the boutique we drove out to jersey to go to the mall to find something to wear to Steve’s party. We tried 6 to 7 stores and we couldn’t find anything. That’s when we finally found a store that was more our taste. Jamie and I have the same taste in clothes we love clothes that show a little skin. We decided to get the same outfit but with different tops. We got some low cut jeans and some tube tops. So now that we have the outfits the next question is how were going to sneak out and go to Steve’s party?

 

Saturday came in a blink of an eye and we still didn’t have a plan. Jamie told me to call her as soon as I woke up and that’s exactly what I did. 

“So did you come with anything?” I asked.

“I been up all night thinking and I came up with something.” Jamie said as if she won the lottery.

“Well what is it?” I said anxiously.

“I’m glad you asked that question were going to tell our parents that were going over Jenna Conner’s house because Tyson James broke with her and she wants to have a girl’s night.”

“But Tyson and Jenna didn’t break up.” Cutting Jamie off.

“We know that but our parents don’t know that.” Jamie had everything planned out.

I have to admit the plan is brilliant, but would my parents really go for it?

The plan was that we were going to stay at daddy’s party for an hour or two and then I was going tell daddy that Jenna got dumped and needed us ASAP.  Jamie is the bigger lair out of us two. I always sucked at lying especially when it came to daddy. Jamie I could lie about anything to her parents. Especially when her parents told her no, she always had a lie to get what she wanted. I mean don’t get wrong I’m no angel. I lied about little things like getting a detention or forgetting what time curfew was. Jamie on the other hand she lied about big s**t. Things that always involved me and i always had to lie to my parents to cover her a*s. One time Jamie lied about spending the weekend at my house so she could spend the weekend with Jake. I was so worried she wasn’t going to make it back in time I nearly had a heart attack waiting for her. Jamie’s parents are very strict on her. They don’t let do anything that involves the word fun. That’s probably why Jamie is so rebellious and wild now. If it weren’t for me Jamie wouldn’t be able to do half of things she can do now. She begged and pleaded with her parents for months for that Pink Audi R8. They finally caved and gave her the car.

 

The rest of the day I spent helping mother with party preparations. Mother acts like a chicken with its head cut the night of a major event and it urked my nerves. Mother loves for everything to be precise and consistence. She always has to outdo herself every time whenever we have a major event from the decorations to the live band. Every major event to mother was a chance to impress someone and show them how much more money she has then them. Jamie came over an hour before the party so we could get dressed together.  Jamie put our party clothes in the trunk of her car so we wouldn’t have to run out of the party with shopping bags in our hands.

“I don’t think this is going to work.” I said with doubt.

“I mean do you really believe that our parents are going to go for this?” I asked

“Well my parents did I told them before I got here and they were fine with it.” Jamie said as she started to take her clothes off.

“Wait what? You told your parents about Jenna?” I asked with anger.

“Yes I did and they were A-Okay with it.” Jamie smiled.

I wanted to rip Jamie’s head off. Great now I have to do this alone.

“Don’t look so sad Casey I’ll be right behind you as soon as your parents hear that I’m coming they will let you go.” Jamie Said with compassion. That’s what I loved about Jamie she could always make me feel at ease. After talking about the plan for an hour and a half we were finally ready. I decided to wear my whit Zac Posen dress with these cute Chanel shoes I got the other week.  Jamie wore her black dress and some to die for shoes. We both wore our hair in a tight bun. We practically looked like twins tonight. The entire house is filled with party guest. Everyone from the neighborhood was there and the people that worked for daddy were there also there. There were butlers that were serving caviar and champagne. Jamie and I were the only minors at the party. The whole party was a bore all we did was sit in a corner and made fun of the party guest and they’re lame dance moves.

 

“Could I have everyone’s attention please?” mother asked on the loud speaker.

“Thank you all for coming we are here to celebrate and congratulate my husband so without further ado my husband James Carson. The entire house started to clap for my daddy he is so respected by everyone and it showed tonight. There was so much pride and joy in his face I never seen him so happy before.

“Thank you all very much like my father always told me “Hard work pays off.” The crowd started to laugh.

“Those are the words I work and live by on the daily basis.” Daddy said with pride.

Daddy Continued talking.

“First I would like to thank my loving wife Karen without you I’m nothing and there’s nothing I can’t do without you.” Mother looked like she was going to cry it was so beautiful to watch. Daddy and mother looked at each other with such love.

“Next I would like to thank my princess Casey.”

Everyone started to smile at me and give those aww she’s so cute looks. 

“Get on up here princess.” Daddy said.

When I got up there daddy gave me a big fat wet kiss on the cheek.

“DAD!” I yelled I felt so embarrassed. “And to everyone else thank you for coming out and supporting me.” Daddy raised his glass and everyone started clapping. After daddy’s speech and everyone congratulating him I pulled him from the party and told him about Jenna and how she needed a shoulder to cry on tonight.

“Hmm” he started rubbing his chin.” This isn't a good sign I thought to myself.

“Please daddy Jamie is coming too Jenna really needs us.” I pleaded.

“Hmm since you put it that way I guess I have no choice but to let you go” Daddy smiled at me.

“Aww thank you so much daddy I love you so much” I gave daddy the biggest kiss on the cheek.

“I’ll call you as soon as I get there.” I said with happiness

Jamie was waiting outside for me as reinforcements if daddy said no. I nodded to let her know that we were good to go. Jamie jumped for joy.

“I told you it would work.” Jamie Whispered.

As Jamie and I started to walk back to the party to leave we saw Jamie’s mom.

“Hey mom where are you going?” Jamie asked.

“Oh hello girls Karen sent me back to get to get the man of the night do you know where he is?”

Jamie’s mom asked.

Ms. Preston aka Jamie’s mom is so pretty she has short dark hair and blue eyes and an amazing body that’s probably where Jamie got her body from. She isn’t very tall but she is very skinny but she still has figure and her skin is flawless and Perky Breast and a nice butt she must work out every day just like my mom.

“He’s in his office.” I said quickly

“Okay thank you ladies and just a quick tip get Jenna lots and lots of Ice Cream have fun girls.” Jamie’s mom said. while we waved goodbye.

I kissed my mom goodbye and after that we ran through the sea of people and jumped in Jamie’s car. I’m so excited I can’t believe this actually worked tonight would be the night ever. Tonight would be the night Jessie Johnson will notice me. I can feel it in my bones. I started smiling to myself tonight nothing will be bring me down tonight.

 

“You got everything?” Jamie asked while sticking the key into the car ignition.  

“Yeah I think so…” I said while checking myself.

“Well check to make sure I don’t want you to forget anything or leave any evidence behind.”

“Oh S**t! I left my purse in my dad’s office what am I going to do?” I cried.

“B***h go get it and be quick!” Jamie Shouted.

“You have one minute GO!” Jamie yelled anxiously

With that I ran like I was on the track team. I Pushed and shoved the party guest and went back to daddy’s office I never ran so fast in my life. I heard a lot of moaning and voices coming from his office and I was pretty sure it was daddy and mother making out Gross. The door was cracked so I took a peep in. I couldn't believe what I saw. This couldn't be life. Daddy wasn't making out with mother he was making out with Jamie’s mom!!!!
