Hola, Everyone! I am back from my friend's and let's just say I had an AMAZING time. We prank called my cousin, and using a voice changer, I said, "I'm going to steal all your bananas!" It was epic! ;)
Just a heads up, I am leaving for Florida this Tuesday, and I will be gone for a week and a half. I am so sorry but I cannot type up a new chapter when I'm on vacation! Lol. I'm sorry about that, and I hope I will get another update in before I leave. But if not, there you go. Please don't be mad :( Anyways… I would just like to ask… does anyone watch "My Babysitter's a Vampire"? Because I am currently sooo obsessed! If you do watch it… ETHAN IS MINE, MUAHAHAHAHA! Sorry, just had a moment there. Haha! Well, if you don't watch it, you should. It is sooo funny! And Ethan is sooo hot! Hehe! Well, anyway, here is chapter 9! :D
House of Tiaras, House of Pennies
Amber's POV, Tuesday, 4 Days Left Until Graduation, 3 Days Until Prom
I was putting on some makeup and getting ready to shop for the prom queen tiara. Since Joy and me are in charge of the prom queen stuff, I'm told her I'd shop for the tiara. I also could get out of my first two classes since I'm shopping for school purposes. Score!
"Bye, Nina!" I waved as I went out the door.
She looked up from her book and waved back.
I headed out the door and waved over a taxi. I then danced to the cab music and dreamt of my dream tiara. I walked into the jewelry store and they directed me to their most special tiaras. As the worker left me alone, I stared at the most amazingly beautifulist tiara I had ever seen. When no one was looking, I slowly picked the tiara up out of the case and put it on my head.
"Why are you wearing that tiara on your head?"
I jumped around to see a cute guy with bushy hair.
"…Why aren't you wearing one…?" I awkwardly said back. (This was actually something that my brother said to someone and I thought it was funny so I was like I'm going to put it in here lol)
He laughed and stuck out his hand.
"I'm Roy." He smiled brightly.
"Amber." I laughed taking the tiara off of my head and shaking his hand.
"You might want to put that back in there before he sees you." Roy said pointing to the worker.
"Right." I laughed and shoved it back in its case.
"So what are you shopping for?" he smiled.
"Prom queen tiara." I smiled.
"Oh, fun!" He said back.
"Yeah." I laughed.
"Well I got to go. Later, Amber." He smiled.
Wow, something about that guy.
"Are you going to buy that?" The manager pointed to the tiara in the case.
"Oh, yeah!" I said and paid for it.
"Thanks!" I said and walked out.
On my way back, I decided to stall time and get some well-deserved ice cream.
Yum!
Nina's POV, Later at the School
"…And then I met a cute guy!" Amber exclaimed.
"You have a boyfriend." I pointed out.
"Yeah, but a girl can dream, right?"
I sighed and caught up with Fabian.
"Hey! I heard we're watching a movie today!" I told him.
"Me too!" He said.
Just then Joy walked up.
"I heard it's Titanic." Joy whispered.
"I love that movie!" I exclaimed.
"Never seen it." Fabian frowned.
"Never seen it?" I exclaimed.
"It's only the most romantic movie ever!" Joy added.
"Okay, we are watching this together." I smiled.
I took his hand and led him into the classroom.
"Hello, class! I'm sure that you heard that we are watching the movie Titanic today, so here we go!" Ms. Fox pressed play.
I snuggled into Fabian and laid my head on his shoulder. Just then Ms. Fox walked up and I slowly sat away from Fabian.
"That's better!" She said and sat down at her desk.
Then I secretly grabbed Fabian's hand.
And later on,
"Sniffle, Rose and Jack can't be together! Sniffle." I teared up.
"…Gets me every time, sniffle." I added.
"Aw, it's okay." Fabian squeezed my hand.
"Leonardo DiCaprio is sooo hot." Amber sighed happily across the classroom.
Alfie frowned.
"Not as hot as you, though, boo." She added quickly.
Alfie looked satisfied.
After the movie, my cheeks were streaked with dry tears.
Fabian hugged me tenderly.
"I'm fine!" I laughed.
"I just always cry during movies." I smiled.
"Haha, me too." Joy laughed.
"EXTRA, EXTRA! GET YOUR SCHOOL NEWS PAPERS HERE!" A kid exclaimed in the hall.
"PROM QUEEN POLLS ARE OUT!" Just as he said that, Amber and Joy raced to grab the first copy.
"Let go!" Amber exclaimed.
"It's mine!" Joy struggled.
"You owe me for your sparkling water spill!" Amber pointed out.
Joy grunted and let go and grabbed the seconded copy.
I ran to grab one and started reading.
It said, "Amber is in the lead with 48% of the vote, Next is Joy with 45% of the vote, and the other candidates have 7% of the vote all together."
"Wow, it's close!" I exclaimed.
"How is this possible?" Joy exclaimed.
"Haha!" Amber said self-centeredly.
Joy glared and stalked off.
Amber did a little dance.
"Amber, you do know that the competition isn't over yet, right?" I asked her.
"Whatever. I'm still in the lead!" She danced off.
Fabian and me looked at each other and laughed.
Later That Day at the Mall, Still Nina's POV
Amber, Mara, Patricia, Joy, and me walked into a department store to shop for graduation dresses.
"Not as fancy as prom dress shopping, huh?" I laughed.
"You got that right!" Mara added.
"Okay, so, shall we split up?" Amber asked.
"I'll go with Joy." Patricia said and they walked off together.
"I'll go by myself. I need to get in the zone!" Amber proclaimed and walked off.
"Okay, I guess it's just me and you!" I said to Mara.
"Yeah, let's go!" Mara said.
We walked over to a rack of dresses and started to rifle through it.
"What about this one? It would look sooo good on you!" Mara smiled.
"Oh my gosh!" I said and grabbed the dress, "It's so pretty!"
"How did you know what I'd like?' I asked her.
Mara shrugged and grabbed a dress. Then we headed to the changing room.
Mara tried on a black and white sundress with flowers and I tried on the silky aqua dress that Mara picked out.
We both looked at each other and laughed.
"They look perfect!" We said together.
"Jinx!" We said together again.
"Haha!"
After we were done we headed out to meet up with the others.
"Ooh! Can I go first?" Amber asked.
"Sure." We all agreed.
Amber came out in a strapless black dress with red flowers. It was sooo pretty on her.
"I love it!" I exclaimed.
Next, Joy came out in a tight fitted blue dress with a gem in the middle.
"Awesome!" Mara clapped and cheered.
Afterwards, Mara came out in her purple and black dress.
"Everyone clapped happily." Amber said in third person.
We all looked at her strangely.
"What?" She asked.
After that, Patricia came out in a blue dress with a black bow. It was really pretty.
"Wow, it's not black!" I said.
"What's that supposed to mean?" She looked at me.
I shrugged and she sat back down.
Lastly, I came out in my dress and everyone clapped.
"It's so pretty! Fabian will LOVE it." Joy assured me.
After that we walked up to the cash register. We all paid and that just left Amber.
"That will be 77 pounds." The cashier said.
"Here you go!" Amber handed her the money.
"Um, this is only seventy six ninety nine." The cashier told her.
"That's all the money I have!" Amber complained.
"Weird amount to have…" Patricia muttered.
"Come on! I'm sure there's a penny around here on the ground somewhere!" Amber assured us.
We then spent the next hour looking for pennies on the ground.
"I found one!" Amber exclaimed.
At the same time a little kid reached for it but Amber was quicker.
"Hey that's mine!" The kid yelled.
"What? I was here first." Amber said matter-of-factly.
"Nah, uh!" The kid said.
"Yah, huh!" Amber said back.
Just then, the kid grabbed the penny out of Amber's hand and ran off.
"Hey!" Amber yelled and ran after him.
"Amber, wait!" I yelled.
"I'll give you a penny!" Mara added.
"NEVER! THAT PENNY'S MINE!" Amber yelled loudly back.
Finally, after a crazy wild goose chase around the store, the kid and Amber stopped.
"Please, kid?" She asked.
"Fine." The kid pouted.
"But this was fun! Let's do this again sometime!" The kid smirked and slapped Amber on the back.
"Grrr…" Amber muttered.
"At least you got the penny!" I said.
"Now, please, Let's go pay." Joy said and we walked back to the register.
Just then, we saw the cashier handing Amber's dress over to another customer.
"What are you doing?" Amber ran over.
"You took too long." The cashier exclaimed.
Just then, Amber realized that the customer was the penny kid's mom.
The penny kid looked up and waved to Amber, giggling.
"Grrr…" Amber glared harshly at the kid.
"Ha!" The kid grabbed his mom's hand and walked away.
"We can just go grab another dress, Amber." I said.
Amber reluctantly agreed and we paid for that dress. After we finally got back to Anubis house, it was late because of the penny incident.
"I need some serious rest." Amber groaned quickly and ran upstairs.
I said goodnight to everyone else. Then, I put my new dress in my closet. I couldn't wait to wear it!
