Friday came sooner than usual, and Emily had agreed to sleep over Miley's on the previous night so they could talk and hang out.
As the clock ticked, it was 7:30am and the girls were both sitting around the breakfast island in the kitchen eating Lucky Charms.
"So its the big night eh?" Emily said as she sipped her orange juice. Miley nodded and smiled.
"Im so excited, your helping me get ready, right?" Miley asked as she finished the last spoonful. Emily nodded and placed her bowl in the dishwasher, as did Miley.
"Obviously! Okay, we gotta go!" Emily said. They both grabbed their stuff and exited the house.
"We'll take my car!" Emily said as she climbed into the red Ferrari. Miley got in too and opened the magazine to the familiar page.
"Step 7: Don t overdo make-up. Garish make up and powder a centimetre thick isn t going to attract the boy you want. You d be surprised how many guys out there rate the beauty of a girl as much higher when she is bare-faced then when she has loads of make-up on. Keep it clean and simple and avoid heavy use of blush or eyeliner." Miley read out, quickly checking her face in the mirror.
"I look okay, right?" She asked quickly, tapping her eyes lightly.
"Mi, you look amazing. You never wear too much make up anyway!" Emily exclaimed.
"Hey we have 30 minutes till we're meant to be in school, so could we drop by the drive through Starbucks?" Miley asked as they turned a corner.
Emily nodded and she drove to the Starbucks. She ordered their usual 2 Caramel Frappuchinos and she then started driving again to school.
"Ugh, there's Ariana." Miley said as they pulled into a car space. Ariana was with Ed by his car, flirting with him.
"She's desperate." Emily retorted as they walked into the main building. Miley drank the last sip of her coffee and then threw the empty cup in the bin. She grabbed her Math book out of her locker, as did Emily and they walked to Maths.
Emily sat down with Miley at the back and Miley opened her book to Relative Frequency, the subject they were working on. As the bell rang, more students filed into the class, three of those being Nick, Ed and Ariana. As Ariana approached Miley and Emily, they gave her a death glare, making her walk to the left and she sat with Ed.
"Hey Miles." Nick said as he took the empty seat to the right of her. Miley smiled at him.
"Hey Nick, we're still on for tonight, right?" Miley checked. Nick nodded and smiled at her. He was secretly really nervous for their date, but he daren't show it.
"Nick! Over here!" Ed shouted, signalling for Nick to go sit by him and Ariana, who was all over him.
"Nah, Im fine here thanks." Nick said. As the teacher walked in, Nick's other best friend Zac trailed in behind.
"Zac!" Nick said, making him walk over.
"Oh my freaking God, Mi." Emily whispered to her, referring to how hot she thought this boy was.
"Hey Nick. Miley and Emily, right?" Zac checked as he sat on the left of Emily. Emily nodded and bit her lip, signalling she was shy. Zac smiled at her and then leaned over.
"You're really pretty, you know?" He whispered into her ear truthfully.
"Thanks.." She replied, smiling shyly at the boy.
-xoxo-
As time ticked by, it was soon 4:30pm by the time Miley and Emily arrived home to Miley's house.
Nick was picking Miley up at 7pm, so they had 2 and a half hours to make Miley look her best. Emily attacked Miley with the hair brush as soon as she sat down and Miley sighed.
"Em, is this neccessary? Im only going to Nick's house!" Miley exclaimed. Emily looked at her and sighed.
"He might of been joking. He might have a nice dinner at a posh restaurant planned." Emily said, smirking.
"Fine, but I want to dress casual/formal." Miley answered as Emily started on her hair.
-xoxo-
It was now 6:45pm and Emily had just put the finishing touches on Miley's make up.
"There we are. Not too much, like the magazine said." Emily joked as she moved aside, letting Miley see her reflection.
Miley was dressed in a pair of ripped skinny jeans, a white v-neck t-shirt, some black high heels and a golden-beige leather jacket, complete with some gold jewelry.
Her hair was tied up in a pony tail, but some hair was still down at the back too. Miley smiled at her reflection.
"I love it!" Miley said as she admired her outfit. Emily smiled and she then sat on Mileys bed.
"So Im going to wait here and I'll be back when you get home. Be back by 12pm, or otherwise I'll be asleep." Emily joked.
"Yes mom." Miley said. She heard the doorbell ring, which echoed through her house.
"Oh my god he's here!" Miley said squealing. She grabbed her golden purse and she left the room.
"Have fun! But not too much!" Emily shouted from Miley's room as Miley made her way down the stairs.
"I will!" Miley replied. She opened the front door and saw Nick standing there, wearing a navy blue polo shirt, some light denim jeans and some black converse.
"You look beautiful." Nick said, without a hello. Miley blushed and he then handed her some flowers.
"Um, I got these for you." He said, smiling at her as she smelled them.
"Thanks Nick." She placed them on the table by the front door and she then exited the house. As they walked up the path, Nick intertwined their fingers. He opened his car door for her and she climbed into the black Land Rover. Nick got in the other side and put his arm around her seat.
The date was happening. It was real.
And only three steps to go.
