Hi guys. So here is chapter 2. Enjoy.

Chapter 2

It's. A. Dress. "It's a dress!" said my aunt in the most excited voice I had ever heard her use. "Do you like the colour? I hope you like the colour. If you don't its fine I can swap it for-"

"It's great. I love it, thanks." I wasn't even lying. I did like it, kind of.

"Come on, get changed."

"Why?"

"So you can wear it to the surprise party. Plus you need to get changed now cos we need to leave in twenty minutes. So HURRY UP!"

Once she had finally left the room I took out the dress from the box. It was beautiful to say the least. Black and princess cut i.e. I won't be able to breathe. But the most annoying thing of all, I have to wear it to a surprise party where all my friends will be. I think.

After what felt like an eternity, I had finally got the darn dress on. And then suddenly my Aunt burst through the door to do my hair, makeup, accessories and anything else you would possibly need to do for a party. Finally she led me down stairs-while I gripped the handle so my 4 inch heals wouldn't make me fall over-and into the large living room where my uncle stood with my three cousin, Robert, Lewis and Cameron.

"Oh, darling, don't you look lovely!" said my uncle in an over enthusiastic voice. "I guess you were right then after all, Macey."

"Of course I'm right, Preston. I'm always right." She said to my uncle, hugging him from behind.

"Yeah Em, you look great." said Robert in his favourite tone-I don't really care but I'm supposed to be nice.

Robert was 16, the eldest of my cousins, he's arrogant, selfish and-overall-horrible. But if you didn't call him Rob then you would get ambushed at any given moment. Then there is Lewis, at age 13 he was at the stage when he thinks he knows everything but he really doesn't. And then there's Cameron, my favourite cousin, he's 10 years old so he is still sweet and innocent and easy to boss around.

I, on the other hand, am Emily, 15 years of age. As the second oldest in the family I get bossed around but I do also get to boss people around. So not all bad.

And my name is Emily not Em. That's just the name that Robert and Lewis call me when they want to annoy me.

"Come on Rob, be nice to Em. After all, we only have to put up with her till tomorrow morning." Said Lewis, trying to sound funny but not succeeding.

"That's it you two. All I ask is that you are nice to Emily for one whole day, that's it." Aunt Macey said knowing that they probably wouldn't listen to her anyway. And besides, one whole day, come on Macey, they won't last one whole minute.

"Are you ready for your party then?" asked Uncle Preston.

"I think so." I replied as I turned to walk to the front door. "Where are we actually going?"

"You'll have to wait and see."

Imagine being trapped in a car with the loudest, most annoying people you know and times it by ten. That is what the car ride was like to the village hall?

To me this made no sense but I could see why my party would be hear, lots of space for all of my five friends and me.

I walked into the hall to find that not only were my friends there but also my other aunts and uncles, Aunt Liz, Uncle Jonas, Aunt Bex (but I always called her Aunt Rebecca and ended up upside down in less than a second) and Uncle Grant, who it was great to see again. My other cousins were there as well, Kyle and Max (Bex and Grant's kids) and Henry and Grace (Liz and Jonas' kids). I had to stifle a giggle as they were all in tuxedoes and big, pooffy dresses.

But to my surprise, there was someone else there. Someone who I don't remember seeing before but remembered him all the same. Who was he?

So, who do you think it is. Please review even if its 'I hate your fanfiction' and feel free to pm me. See you soon.
