Glimmer!" yells Ivory. "HURRY UP!" I can practically hear the impatience in her voice. Question is, should I let it slide or not? Not, I decide as I reply "YOU CAN'T RUSH PERFECTION!" When I don't hear her nasal voice yell something back, I assume she has given up. Ivory and Ebony are waiting for me outside my bedroom door while I try on outfits and adjust my 100% sparkle make up. When, if ever I finish we are going to Crystal's house. But it's not Crystal I'm dressing up for. It's her older brother, Platinum.
When I decide my outfit's perfect, I walk over to the door. I'm now wearing a shiny silver sundress, a wide gold belt, and silver heels. My hair is up in a side pony. And I like it.
"Are you ready?" I say to the other side of the door, where I know Ebony and Ivory are anxiously waiting. "Yes." they reply boredly. Ok, maybe not so anxiously. Then in 1 swift motion I throw the door open revealing my ah-mazing outfit, and smile when I see their wowed expressions. I then beam and say "Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful." Ebony, still very impressed, mutters "woah" at the same time Ivory exclaims "WOW!" "I know!" I gush, "It's PERFECT!" But secretly I wonder if Platinum will like it. But, as much as it would calm me to ask, I don't. Because I know that any insecurity would result in Crystal taking charge and I swore that the day that happened would be the day I die. Weakness is the only weakness.
"Now, let's get going." I say, "Because how DULL would it be to be late?!" I say only wanting to get going because I know it will result in seeing Platinum sooner. Bronze and I broke up yesterday, so I'm finally free again! I don't really like Bronze as more then a friend, but, he's so hard to refuse, so I just give in. I figure next time I'll just give him the whole 'next time let's remember who came crawling back to who' speech and let that be that.
Then, the twins and I start walking.
We saunter 2 blocks west, and 6 south, but we're not tired. We confidently knock on the door. When Platinum answers the door, I feel a light blush creep up my cheeks and hope it isn't too noticeable. If he knew... well, honestly it might not be that bad. Yeah it might not be that bad.
"Hey Girls" he says "Crystal's in her room getting ready." "ok" says Ebony. "where's the bathroom?" "well, there's 1 upstairs and 1 down the hall and to the right." he says. "Great. 1 for both of us." states Ivory as she and Ebony walk in different directions. That leaves me alone with Platinum. OH MY GOLD! IM ALONE WITH PLATINUM! OH MY GOLD!
"Wanna sit down?" he says, patting a space next to him on their rather small couch, as it dawns on me that I have been standing for a while. What should I say? Should I sit down? Should I walk away? I HATE being confused! I don't really have time to decide because He's pulling me down by my arm. "Sure." I say after pointing out that I didn't really have a choice here. After a little silence, he puts his arm around me, and says "This feels so right." That's when I know to get up. "Um, I'm gonna go find Crystal..." I say. "No" he replies, "Just stay here with me." "Let me go!" I say forcefully as I shake him off me. "But, I'm just so lost without you..." He states. And then I see how close to me he is. As my heart speeds up and the world slows down i see him start to lean in. I try to take a step back just to find that the wall is right behind me. His emerald green eyes pour into mine, and I can't help thinking about how much I wish he would hurry up. Then, as if he was reading my mind, he leans in and and our lips touch very gently. A warm feeling quickly spreads from the center of my heart to the tips of my toes. After a few minutes I get the feeling that I'm being watched, which would be awkward times 10. Platinum must feel it too because he tenses up. Once it becomes clear that neither of shake the feeling enough to relax, we slowly break apart. The warm feeling recedes leaving behind an icy cold sensation. I then open my eyes revealing- all my friends! Uh-oh. Ebony and Ivory wear matching you-did-not-just-do-that expressions on their identical freckled faces, meanwhile Crystal is glaring at me, her lavender eyes demanding to know what exactly was going on here, which happens to be the very first words out of her mouth. " Well..." I stutter nervously, not sure what to say. "Ummm..." begins Platinum. "You!" Crystal forcefully says, pointing to Platinum "ok I cant really say I'm all that surprised there. But Glimmer, I expect more from you! Get out of my house!"
