Holding out for a hero:
After a few hours of pure torture, Laurel, Melanie, Diana and Cassie all step away from me, admiring the works they have done on my face and hair. Two hours ago the girls tracked me down at Chris' house with determination set on the planes of their faces. Once they got me into their hands, the girls took me back to Diana's, where I was bathed in herbs and soap.
"We." Melanie dramtically panted. "Did it."
Laurel grinned and spun me around in the salon styled chair. My own mouth dropped at the sight of the girl in the mirror. Her hair was in a half ponytail, placed in a bump it thing. Then the rest of her raven locks were carefully curled down her back. Her bangs were half pulled back with shiney diamond pins, the rest hung to the side in wave.
Gold eye liner lightly shimmered around her brown eyes, making the darker brown and gold specks shine through. The girls lips were shining with pink lip gloss. She was captivating. Never have I every felt so beautiful...radiant. The green dress shimmered and shined with every slight movement. I started swaying then it turned to spinning and giggling.
I stopped when I saw the look on Melanies face. "You could fall and," She gestured to me hair, "ruin it."
I mumbled a sorry, then felt silly for acting so ridiculous. Melanie just shook her hands and checked her watch before ushering us out the doory saying that the boys will be at the dance already and we need to hurry.

The bass from inside shook the from the gym shook the grass outside. I shakily make my way across the ground, with the help of Cassie who thought it would be safer to just wear flats. Laurel had run off with Suzan to see if they could get there hands on some "party favors."
Inside the gym, the bass was even worse. It made my heart skip beats and my skin shake. But the excitement in the air made it all okay. My eyes quickly scanned the crowd looking for Chris. He was standing across the gym, staring at me. A grin made its way on my face as we walked towards each other. He smoothed some of my hair away from my neck and let his hand rest against it as he lightly pecked my cheek.
"You look so beautiful." He said, stepping away.
I took this time to admire him. Chris had on a white button down shirt and black slacks. His blonde hair lightly curled like vines against his forehead and temples. The white brought out the light blue of his eyes. I smiled at him, and his beauty.
"The guys are sitting over there." Chris pointed to a table where Diana sat, practically drapping herself over Jake. Cassie and Adam sat there looking awkwardly from themselves to Diana. "Or we could just dance the night away."
Again, I smile at him, pulling him to the dance floor. For at least an hour and a half straight, Chris and I danced, snacked, and talked with other people. I felt light and giddy. Chris grabbed my hand and pulled me from the dance floor to our table. Cassie sat alone, Adam had excused himself to the restroom. Apparently Diana and Jake had excused themselves to, awkward cough, have fun somewhere.
Chris sat down, and I sat beside him. Chris talked to Cassie will I played with my hands under the table. Something thin brushed against the back of my right hand. I immediately flinched away, bringing my hands to rest on top of the table. But when I thought about it, the thing felt like paper? Slowly, I brushed my hand a few inches away from the bottom of the table until finding the paper clipping again. I carefully dislodged it and set it in my lap.
You witches arent as clever as you claim to be. If you want your little friend to stay alive, I suggest you come to 1987 Willows Road. Alone.
I glanced over at Chris who was still smiling with Cassie. "Uh, Chris?" He looked over and 'hmmed'. "Im ready to go home..."
He didnt question me, but his eye brows still scrunched together. "Sure lets go."
Chris:
Lena's whole demeanor changed within like two seconds. The first second she was relaxed, the second she was stiff and wanted to go home. As I lead her out to my car, her back was sticking straight up, and her eyes glanced and flinched at every shadow. Lena's hands were clenched the whole ride home. She didnt even kiss me goodbye. Just shut the door and practically scrambled to get to her front door. I just shook my head and just went home.
A little all over the place I think, but I had to get another chapter out there since I felt bad for the short one before. Please review?
