The next week or so was very sucky because Beccah was grounded. Which means she couldn't play music with us or pretty much do anything fun. Noelle, Elaine, and I got very bored trying to practice songs and put together a music programm for homecoming. When Annalee came home for the weekend, Beccah got off punishment long enough for us to go to Grandma's.

Our grandmother has the ability to control and create with cloth. Basicly she can sew anything by just thinking about it and since she is a very creative person with a good eye for color and a person;s sense of style, we are always going to her for clothes and such. As we walked in the door she greeted us with hugs. "How are my little angels today?"

"We are just fine," I said for the group.

"Do you guys have an idea what you want for dresses for homecoming?" she asked.

"You bet." Noelle said excitedly.

"I think I can guess what you want, WHITE," grandma said teasing her gently.

We headed upstairs to the sewing room. Elaine was of course first. We put her on a stool and drapped certain fabrics on her trying to see which would be best. We finally decided on a wild dragon print that shimmered all different colors that a dragon could be. "Where did you get this frabric? I've never seen anything like it," Annalee wanted to know as she bent down closer to inspect the unique fabric.

"You Grandfather brought it back from China when he was out saving the world one time," my grantmother said.

My grandmother told us to back of and then closed her eyes and concentrated. The fabric started to whirl and looked as if it was knoting itself together and then out slipped a dress that we knew would fit Elaine perfectly.

"I never get tired of watching that," Beccah said as Noelle stepped up for her turn and Elaine went to go get into her dress.

We pulled out the different whites and tryed to find the one that shimmered the most. When we had found a white silk that had sparkles handsewn to it, my grandmother worked her magic once again and there was a sleek beautiful dress that would make Noelle truly look like a Ice Queen.

For Beccah we found a yellow that had a red and orange pattern on it. When grandmother had made it into a dress the skirt was so flowing that when Beccah walked she would seem to float.

For my dress we found a purply grey that flowed and fluttered around me when I walked. Grandma made it into a dress with no sleeves but fabric would atache at my elbows from the back. The one decoration on it was a little scrap of silver fabric that was like a butterfly near my neck.

Annalee of course wanted green and she got that. The embordered flowers on it made it look equotic.

We all tryed on our dresses and showed granmother her handy work. She stepped back to survey us proudly. Elaine looked full of fire and fist in her short yet sassy dragon dress and Noelle looked her opposite in her long and slimming white gown. Beccah and I also looked opposites her in her loud, floor-length, african queen dress and I in my dress that could hve been a salsa dress if it didn't have a train on it. Annalee was the perfect balance to our two sets of opposites in her green sari like dress.

To put it smipley we all looked really hot, not hot likt we were trying to look hot, but natrul hot. Noelle looked at herslf in a mirrior that was hanging on the back of Grandma's wall. "Thank you very much."

She looked some what sad. On the way home I stopped Noelle while the others went on. "Hey girl was' up?"

She gave me her best 'what are you talking about?' She just glared and then started to walk on. "Really. what is wrong?"

She looked at me then mumbled real quick,"You don't spend time with us any more. I really want to do some stuff with you but your never there."

"I am too." I said indignetlly.

"Am not."

"Am too,"

"Am not,"

"Ok when was i no there for you?"

"Yesterday,"

"What happened yesterday?"

"Never mind," She turned and walked off. WHat had happened yesterday.

"Hey, Ice Queen, chill ok? What was yesterday!"

"Forgot?"

I sighed. "Yes I forgot. What happened?"

"My ice skating show."

"What ice skating show?"

"The show that you said that you would be! The one that when I knocked on your door you said for me to ask some one else for what ever I need. You were working on your precious home work. All I wanted you to come to one show. Is that so hard?"

"Hey calm down ok? I forgot about your show. It is no big thing to get uppset about. Why are you so mad? It is know big deal. I can just come to the next one."

Noelle mumered something under her breath. I started to head home. "What did you say?"

Noelle turned her eyes glaring murder. " I said that that was the show that decied if I was good enough to go to the next level. You promised that you were going to be there. You weren't." I all sudden rememered Noelle asking me to go to her show. I had promised to be there. " But don't worry about it. It's nothing big. I'm sure that the home work was due the next day and that there was big report that had to done."

Her vioce rang in my ears as she turned and stomped off. My throat closed up. How could I have forgotten? It had been so important to her. Warren would have understood. The thought came out of the back of my mind. Yeah maybe he would have.

"You ok?" I jumped at a voice behind me. It was Lash. I wanted to beat the living daylights out of him. Unfortunatly only Beccah can truly beat the daylights out of someone.

"Yes!" I said angerly.

"Sorry, you just looked upset and I wanted to see if I could help," he said defensivly.

"As the sorce of most of my problems it is hardly appropiate that you should try and fix them. And what you doing following me anyway!"

"I live here," Lash said showing me that we were standing right outside his house.

I was so mad that I could spit. Instead I cryed. I stood on the sidewalk infront of Lash's house sobbing my heart out. He looked at me for a few minutes and then streched his arms to hug me.

"What's wrong?" he asked not quite sure that he wanted to know.

"I'm have serious guy trouble, I'm suppose to be doing well in school but I'm struggling, ywo of my sisters are really mad at me for stupid stuff I did, and my sister and I are having a guy problems. I don't know what to do. It's just too much," I said.

"It's okay," Lash said slightly uncomfortable with my outburst.

"No, no it's not okay," I siad exsaperated as I sat down on the curb.

He strechted down to my level and the rest of his body followed. We sat in silence for a little while. He figeting because I had made him very uncomfortable and me calming down from my little spaze moment.
