Ah, the Starry Night festival, a holiday where couple's watch the night sky together. I wonder what will happen? Well, I don't wonder, I already know. I guess your wondering. Enjoy the story and find out.
Chapter 10:
"So, who are you going with to the Starry Night festival?" Julia asked me.
"Oh, I don't know." I said. Of course, I was going to ask Vaughn.
"Don't play coy!" She exclaimed. "I know you plan on asking a certain someone."
Vaughn was off of the island and Maribelle's shop was closed for today, so I was having a sleep over with Julia.
"I'm asking Vaughn." I said casually.
"I knew it." She said in the same tone.
"Who are you asking?"
She shut up after that.
"Well?" I pried.
She blushed and mumbled something I couldn't understand.
"What? I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you."
"Mark." She groaned.
"WHAT?" I laughed.
"I know." She said.
"Why are you asking him? I thought you two were best friends."
"No Chelsea, he's best friends with you."
I stopped. "Huh?"
"Never mind. So, how are you going to ask him?"
"I don't know yet…"
"Its tomorrow. You better figure it out!"
"Yeah"
"I know! Tomorrow, I'll make him ask you!"
"Um…"
"Don't worry. Leave it to me!"
Julia:
I was washing the dishes when I, once in a while, turned my gaze toward Vaughn in his little corner.
When he came over for some reason, I asked him,
"Hey Vaughn?"
He grunted.
"Do you plan on going to the Starry Night festival?"
He looked at me. "Why?"
"Someone wants to go with you."
He rolled his eyes.
"Will you ask someone for once? Please?"
He sighed.
"Fine."
"Yay! Thank you!"
"Yeah"
Mission Accomplished.
Chelsea:
I sat staring at the ceiling for…A few hours. I was completely bored.
My phone rang and it scared the life out of me. I scrambled out of bed and answered.
"Y-Yes?"
Julia was on the other line. "Vaughn is pretty much going to ask you. But I had to beg, so you owe me!"
"I know. Thanks!"
"Alright. I have to go, Vaughn just left."
"Okay. Thanks again!"
"No problem!"
I hung up, and, there was a knock at the door. Coincidence?
I made myself look a little better and answered the door with a smile.
"Yeah?"
"Uh…"
I waited.
"You know the Starry Night festival is tonight…"
"Yes?"
"And I was wondering…" His face was getting red.
"Sure, I'll go with you." I answered for him.
"Yeah." He said thankfully. "So, I'll pick you up later, okay?"
"Okay."
He nodded and left. I gently shut the door.
"Thank you, Julia." I said to myself.
I put on a black turtleneck and soft denim jeans, put on a little blush, brushed my hair, and brushed my teeth. Ready. I smiled to myself.
I played with my fingers until there was a knock at my door. I hopped up and answered.
"Hey." He said, staring at me.
"Hi." I laughed.
He was wearing a loose white button up shirt with a black jacket and pants and wasn't wearing his hat. He looked very handsome…
He held out his elbow and, realizing what it meant, I held it gingerly.
"You look nice." He said, getting over his compliment issues.
"You too." I smiled at him.
When we got to Maribelle's shop, Julia hugged me and told me I looked nice.
"Thanks! You look great too." I smiled.
She was wearing a tan shirt with a brown jacket and furry cuffs that go to her elbows with a pretty white skirt.
Mark suddenly walked beside her, wearing a white button up shirt with a loose tie and blue jeans. And, for once, he wasn't wearing his blue hat.
"Whoa!" I laughed.
"Too much?" He asked nervously.
"Not at all." Julia answered.
Vaughn came back with a couple of blankets for us to sit outside, and when we did there were already a bunch of people on different colors of picnic blankets. Natalie and Pierre, who brought some food, Denny and Lanna, Alisa and Nathan, Charlie and Eliza, Taro and Felicia, and, surprisingly, Elliot and Sabrina.
We all sat next to each other on different blankets, so it would be less awkward. When it was quiet, I tried to scoot closer to Vaughn.
He didn't notice, so I scooted closer.
He wrapped his arm around me. I blushed.
He chuckled and I leaned on his shoulder. Julia did the same but Mark didn't notice.
I looked over at Pierre and Denny. Pierre's face was red and trying not to make it awkward, and when Lanna leaned on his shoulder Denny was surprised, but did nothing.
It was kind of funny to watch others try to make a move, and the stars were beautiful. They're where a couple of shooting stars and I made a lot of wishes.
"Vaughn, what did you wish for?" I asked, curious.
"If you tell someone it won't come true." He said, flustered.
"Oh, right." I said, disappointed.
A few minutes passed, and he finally said, "I wish I could have the guts to do something."
I giggled. I guess I have to…
Nervous, I gently kissed his cheek. To see his reaction, He face was very red.
I smiled and continued watching the stars until the clouds covered them up.
Aww! That was cute. I was exited to write this chapter! I'll try to think of an even better one. Tune in for…Chapter 11!
