Chapter 11

Jen was pulling and prodding my head that night. We both had our dresses on and I had done both our make up. All that was left was for Jen to do our hair.

I felt one last jab before: "DONE!" Jen exclaimed slouching down on the bed. I stood up and walked over to the full-length mirror in the corner of the room. I couldn't help it, I gasped. Jen had braided in the strands of rein stones into my hair one braid on each side of my head then pulled them back to meet in the back of my head to form a crown like design. The rest of my hair was curled into ringlets to surround my face and cascade over my shoulders and down my back. the hunter green eye shadow with silver liner I had on made my eyes wide and the magenta lipstick made my lips look a little fuller. The bodies of the dress, that shimmered in the light when I moved, hugged my upper torso and once again I noticed how much taller I looked in the full skirt.

"Hurry up girls. The boys just pulled in." I heard my Gram yell up the stairs. I turned to my Jen sliding the final bobby pin home into her blond hair. We both hurried down the stairs. My breath caught in my throat when I saw him.

Jake had on a tight black silk shirt that showed off his muscular torso. The black dress pants emphasized his lung legs. He had pulled his black hair back into a tight pony tail.

I finished into the kitchen and gave my dad a look that said "you've had more than enough time to torment my date."
