Bree
After reading my book for about thirty minutes, I decided to do my hair and makeup.
Sighing, I closed my book, and walked slowly to the bathroom.
My hair is always in ringlets, but I decided to make them tighter, and have a tad bit more curl. So, I grabbed my curling iron, and grabbed a few of the looser ones, and curled them lightly. I sprayed them with hairspray, and fluffed it lightly. I grinned, and stuck a black headband behind my side bang, so that it was behind them.
Satisfied, I grimaced, remembering I still had makeup to do. I walked back to my room, and over to my vanity. I decided to go with a dark black liner, and smudged it a little, but made sure it didn't turn gothic looking. I lightly traced a little line on my top lid, and chewed my lip, before choosing a sage color for my upper lid.
I finished, and did a light layer of foundation, a flick of mascara, and lastly, a bit of chapstick.
I always think lip gloss makes you look…fake. I didn't want to look like I was wearing a ton of makeup, so I grinned at my handy work.
When I was finally finished, I carefully slid on my dress, and my black cardigan.
Zoe was due any minute, so I walked down the stairs, and saw my mother.
"Aw honey! You look gorgeous!" She squealed. I blushed, and rolled my eyes.
"Zoe is coming soon, so her mom is going to take us to Collin's." I told her. She nodded, before floating into the kitchen.
I walked out into the warm September air. I breathed in a deep breath, and sat Collin's presents down on the ground.
I was nervous, but a little giddy. I have never met Collin's extended family, and from what I heard about them, they seem great. I was especially excited to meet Emmett, Collin's uncle. He sounds like he would be hilarious. Alice seems cool, and all the other people in his family he has told me about. His cousins would all be there, and so would his grandparents.
I swallowed my nerves when I saw Deedra's orange SUV pull in our driveway. I picked up Collin's gifts, and watched as Zoe hopped out of her car.
My eyes widened.
She was wearing a long red long sleeved cardigan. Underneath, she wore a multi-colored striped mini dress.
She clacked over to me in her yellow heels, and grinned.
"Nice, huh?" she said, taking off the cardigan.
The dress was really tight, but it looked nice, and made her legs look longer, considering her short frame. Her hair was straight, but looked glossy, and her makeup was done like a smoky eye, making her eyes look bright blue.
"Wow! You look stunning!" I shrieked. She grinned.
"You look great too!" she said, and half hugged me.
I followed her towards her SUV, eager to get to Collin's. Zoe…Well she really wants a boyfriend. She is intent on at least finding a new guy to crush on at the party.
I, on the other hand, just want the love of my life to have a good birthday.
Deedra was babbling excitedly about which places she is considering to go on vacation to. I tuned out, and focused on looking out of the window, anxious to get to Collin's house.
Finally, we pulled into his driveway, and me and Zoe climbed out, and said a hurried goodbye to Deedra. There were about six cars there already, and there is bound to be more when the party actually started. Zoe and I walked, well Zoe clacked in her heels, up to Collin's door. I pressed the doorbell button, and Collin answered the door with a wide smile.
"Hey, love! Come in!" he said, and I grinned, before walking into his house, Zoe following. It was all decorated, and snacks covered tables, with every kind of soda, and a big birthday cake, with a big 15 on it. I handed Collin his gifts, and he sat them on a table before opening them.
"This shirt is so cool!" he grinned, and I smiled. He reached his hand in again, and pulled out my framed picture.
He stared at it for a couple of minutes.
"Bree...I love it." he said, kind of choked sounding. I smiled up at Collin, and he smiled back. He hugged me for a few seconds, before letting go, and pulling me into the kitchen.
The kitchen was full of unfamiliar faces, and I stood there shyly.
"Everyone, this is Bree." Collin said loudly, making everyone turn towards me. I blushed, and waved timidly.
"Ooh! Colly, she is so beautiful!" I heard, and a small pixie like woman stuck her way over. She had spiky black hair, and her attitude made me assume this was Collin's aunt Alice.
"Hi, Bree! I'm Collin's aunt, Alice." She squealed. I smiled.
Bella walked over with a tall blonde woman, who I expected to be a model, she smiled warmly at me.
"I'm his other aunt, Rosalie." she said. I nodded, and spent the next fifteen minutes meeting his whole family. His three cousins, his uncle Jasper, and his mom's friend, Jacob, and his wife, Nessie. They both introduced themselves warmly, and soon enough, I relaxed, and didn't feel so nervous. Collin grabbed me, Zoe, and himself a soda, before leading us into the living room. The couches weren't even there, and in place, there was a dance floor. Loud music was playing, and colored lights flickered on the walls, while half of the freshmen class was grinding against each other on the dance floor. Collin told me to expect this, apparently Alice goes "all out" for these things.
Zoe stayed with us, and we walked over to a couch I hadn't seen before. Sitting there was a tan, muscular guy. Zoe's eyes widened, and she smoothed down her hair. I grinned, and sat down after Collin.
Zoe sat discreetly next to the tan guy, who was sipping a soda.
"Ben!" Collin yelled over the music.
"Hey, Collin! My man!" he yelled back.
"This is Bree." Collin told Ben. Ben looked at me knowingly.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Ben, Jacob's son ." he said. I nodded, and shook his hand.
"You too!" I said loudly. I noticed Zoe was trying to get his attention by sighing loudly.
"This is my friend Zoe." I told him gesturing to Zoe, who was smiling shyly. Ben turned towards her. He didn't notice her because she sat so far away from him. She scooted a little closer to Ben to shake his hand. They both shook hands for about twenty seconds, kind of staring at each other, wide eyed. I giggled softly when they both let go, a bit embarrassed.
They started talking, and eventually, Ben asked her to dance. She accepted gladly, and skipped off to the dance floor with Ben. He stared at her the entire time, and I knew something would happen between them tonight. I was glad for her, and she gave me a wink and a thumbs up when he wasn't looking. I laughed quietly, and leaned into Collin's chest, sighing. This was going to be a good night.
Okay. I know, it was fast. I tried NOT to make things go fast, but they still did:/ Ugh. Well, I still hope you like it, and I will try to update soon:)
I REALLY appreciate Twilight Mittens, BellaHeartsTwilight, Dougi, and Twihard-001 for reviewing last couple of SUCKY chapters! :) You others who just favorite or alert me need to follow in their footsteps! :)
