I Smile real Hard.

A Brief Pointless Prologue
I smiled real hard and pretended to look happy.
"Okay, now everyone say wedding!"
"No chance in hell!"
SNAP.
There is nothing in this world I hated more then weddings, particularly when they were family ones. Even more so when it's my cousin Edna's. Perfect happy little Edna, the sweetest and luckiest girl in the world not to mention one of the more annoying. But I seem to be the only one in the world to know that.
"Okay, everyone make a funny face," I swear to god I'm going to break this woman's camera soon. I glower at the camera and at that moment my cell went off. Fifteen heads turned and glared at me.
"Excuse me," I muttered and quickly walked from the posing wedding party, their disapproving eyes following me. I grabbed the cell from my puffed sleeve hiding spot that was attached to the bridesmaid dress from hell and flicked it open.
"Whoever you are you have my eternal gratitude," was my greeting.
"That's nice Sparrow, but were did you put the pictures from India?" It was Kristy Thomas, my boss.
"That's a good question and unfortunately I have no answer, but I had thought that I had given them to Lyn." This was met with a sigh and a new voice calling out Ms. Thomas, Ms. Thomas!
"Look I'm going to have to go, but here's Mary Anne."
"Hey Sparrow, sorry about this," came Mary Anne's voice over the line
"I'm not."
"Well good. Do you know where those pictures are that you took in India?" I repeated my answer from before.
"According to her you didn't."
"Hum, I could have sworn I did. I was about to leave for work and they were in my hand. I went back to get my purse from the kitchen and I put them down on the kitchen table. And it looks like forgot to pick them up again. Opps."
" Oh well I'll just get them when I'm feeding Batman and Robyn."
"Sorry."
"Oh well, at least you didn't leave them in the subway like last time. So how is the wedding going?"
"Ask me after the reception."
"That bad already?"
"I'm going to have nightmares for weeks."
"It'll be over soon enough and then you can leave."
"Yes, but will I survive till then?"
"I have faith in you Sparrow."
"Well at least one of us does. Kristy sounds pretty stressed, still can't find a priest eh?" I leaned on the wall of the Church and started digging through my other puffed sleeve for a mint I had stuffed in there.
"Oh Lord, don't even ask, I swear to God this wedding might be the thing that is going to make her crack."
"What is Sparrow doing that is taking so long?" someone called out from the wedding party. From the annoying pitch of it, it must have been Aunt Ida.
"Ahh Kristy's tuff she'll find someone. Anyway I have to go Mary Anne. We still haven't finished pictures."
"Right, just remember with every minute, it's one minute sooner till you can leave."
"Thanks Mary Anne, pet the dynamic duo for me."
"Will do, bye." I clicked the phone shut and stuffed it back up my sleeve while I stuffed the mint into my mouth.
"Well Sparrow you finally finished?" asked my great Uncle Jim.
"Every minute," I muttered under my breath and putting a fake smile back on my face headed back into the madness.
Confused? All will make sense next chapter.
