Keidra's POV
'Almira?' Keidra kicked the door shut behind her and threw her keys and school bag down onto the table. 'Are you here?' Keidra walked over to the kitchen area opening a cupboard pulling out a box of biscuits opening them. Putting a handful into her mouth she walked down the short hall to her room looking at the clock as she passed. 3:45pm. She had three hours to get ready before Ryou came back over to pick her up.
'Where are you Mira? You're never usually gone this long…' Keidra sighed flopping down onto the bed shoving another handful of biscuits into her mouth. 'What am I going to wear?' She mused chewing on her bottom lip. She sat up putting her box of food on the dressing table and walking over to her wardrobe. She wasn't able to bring very many clothes over from Canada but had still managed to fill the whole wardrobe.
She pulled out a purple top and a black skirt, looked at them, before throwing them onto her bed. She picked another outfit and threw that onto the bed also. She was about to get another outfit when she heard the front door slam shut.
'Mira?' she yelled turning around and walking to her door before freezing. Mira was a spirit and couldn't open doors plus her door locked when it was shut. She looked around her room for something that could be used as a weapon her eyes falling onto her red umbrella leaning against the side of the wardrobe.
She quickly ran over and grabbed it holding it in front of her. Hearing the footsteps coming down the short hall she readjusted her grip getting a better hold on the umbrella.
Keidra could see the person's shadow just outside her door and taking a deep breath jumped out swinging her 'weapon' wildly. She felt it make and looked up at her victim.
'Oh shit!' She gasped dropping the umbrella quickly.
'The hell Keidra?' Lyra yelled from where she had fallen onto the ground a hand held up to her nose that was now bleeding.
'I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I though you were here to kill me or something! Hang on.' She moved past Lyra to the kitchen grabbing the box of tissues and dashing back to her friend. 'Here,' Lyra pulled out a handful and held them to her nose. Keidra then noticed the ear buds that were hanging from Lyra's pocket still blasting music loudly.
'If you didn't play your music so loudly we could've avoided this whole situation,' chuckled Keidra.
'I wasn't the one brandishing the umbrella like I was from the Stone Age or something!' The girls looked at each other and started laughed hysterically unable to stop.
'Can't. Breath!' Lyra panted between laughs one hand on her side the other still under her nose.
'Are you going out or something?' Lyra asked walking into Keidra's room, her bed piled high with clothes. She had a cloth full of ice on her nose, the bleeding had stopped but now it was swelling up slightly.
'Ummm… yeah actually.' Keidra muttered going slightly red.
'Who with? No wait let me guess!' Lyra sat herself down on the only clothes free space on the bed. 'Is it that ferrety kid from biology that's always hanging around you?'
'No!' Keidra said making a look of disgust and horror at that her friend would even suggest it.
Lyra laughed at Keidra's expression. 'I'm only kidding I think I know who it is anyway,' she wiggled both her eyebrows at her suggestively.
'Who then?'
'KEIDRA'S GOING ON A DATE WITH WITTLE BABY RYOU!' She yelled as loudly as she could.
'Shhh! It's not a date! We're just going out to dinner…' She said blushing deeper.
'Sound like a date to me,' Lyra said smiling brightly.
'Okay maybe it is- wait is it okay with you?' She said starting to worry slightly.
'Huh? Why wouldn't it be?'
'Well I know you and Ryou have been friends for a long time now and I thought that maybe, you know, and yeah….' Keidra said trailing off looking down at her hands. Lyra was silent before laughing loudly again.
'You mean- Me and Ryou? AHAHAHA!' She wiped a tear from her eye before continuing. 'Sorry to burst your bubble but I'm more into bad boys. Ryou is too shy, sweet yes, but I don't think he could stand someone as loud and annoying as me for too long. Speaking or bad boys have you see the guy that sits in front of me in Maths? Damn! I'd tap that…'
'Okay I get the idea. So are definitely okay with it?' Lyra stood up removing her ice from her nose putting it down. She walked over to Keidra placed both hands on her shoulders and with the most serious expression she could muster looked her in the eye and said, 'I grant you permission to go out with Ryou and do what ever happens after that.' She winked at Keidra.
'Okay! I get the idea!' She pushed Lyra's hands off her shoulders and walked back over to her wardrobe. 'Now the matter of clothing.'
'Do you know where he's taking you?' Lyra sat back down putting the ice back on her nose.
'Nope.'
'Okay… So you need something formal if he's taking you to a fancy restaurant but also something casual if you're just going to a diner or something.'
'This?' She pulled out a black dress.
'Hmmm… No. I was thinking more….' Lyra got up and walked to the wardrobe pulled out a pale green halter neck dress, 'this.' Keidra's father had brought that back for her on one of his business trip to Europe. She'd never worn it but had always kept it.
'That?'
'This. Now go try it on.' She pushed the dress into Keidra's hands and then towards the bathroom.
Keidra entered the bathroom and quickly changed out of her uniform and into the dress. She looked at herself in the mirror and was surprised to see it actually didn't look that bad. The dress itself was made from a light flowing material, which fell to just above her knees. It wrapped around her chest in one direction but then fell loosely around the rest of her body. The pale green colour, she thought, made her eyes look even greener.
She stepped out of the bathroom and stood in front of Lyra even doing a little spin, the dress flaring out nicely.
'Damn girl. Who knew you had it in you? We'll make Ryou bow down to your every command.' Keidra giggled the excitement of actually going on a date with Ryou finally getting to her. Lyra held up a pair of Romanian styled sandals for her to wear and Keidra looked down at the Millennium Anklet around her ankle before taking it off and putting it around her wrist. It was a bit big around hr wrist but it would be more comfortable having it there than having it pushed painfully into her leg.
'What is that thing anyway? You always have it on. Is it some sort of family heirloom?' Lyra said pulling Keidra's arm out to get a better look. 'It's very pretty. Is it real gold?'
'As far as I know it is and yeah I guess you could say it's been in the family for a long time.' Thinking of the anklet made Keidra's thoughts return to Almira.
Seriously where the fudge could she be? Maybe I did something wrong and she's angry at me?
'Awww poor little Keidra is getting nervous is she?' Lyra said interpreting her worry over Almira into worry over her date with Ryou.
'No I'm fine.' Lyra shrugged and starting playing with Keidra's hair.
'Now what to do with this lovely head of hair?' Lyra led her to the bathroom and made her stand in front of the mirror. Keidra just stood there letting the other girl do as she pleased.
'Maybe up? No. Down? No. In a bun? No. Maybe half up…' Lyra's hands combed through Keidra's hair gathering the sides back into a small ponytail but leaving almost all her hair down. 'There. Now your hair won't be in you face if he wants to lean in and kiss those lips.'
'L-Lyra!'
'I'm only playing around don't take everything I saw seriously most of the time I'm not even sure what I'm saying. Now a little bit of makeup. Where do you keep it?'
'Second drawer of my dresser.' Lyra left quickly and was back with a little tube of mascara and lip-gloss.
'Now stay still…there! Perfect!' There was a knocking from the front door and Keidra got up quickly to look at the clock.
'6:50! He's early!' Keidra said rushing to get her shoes and other things.
'Calm down. You're the girl so you're allowed to be late.'
'But-'
'Let me handle this.' Lyra walked out to the living room and Keidra in tow. She went to the door and opened it. Keidra stood back out of view behind the corner of the hall.
'You're early. So you can wait until I am satisfied with how she looks. Okay?' And with that she slammed the door in his face.
'Lyra!' Keidra squeaked, shocked.
'It's okay. He can wait.' Keidra nodded as Lyra dragged her back to the bathroom.
'Say, why did you come over in the first place?' She had obviously calmed down from her fight with Demi.
'Boredom,' she shrugged, 'and it's a good thing I did too. You would never of made yourself look as stunning as I have.'
'Done!' Lyra stepped back to get a better look of her masterpiece. Keidra blinked a couple of times. 'Less is best you know,' referring to the little amount of makeup that decorated Keidra's face. Lyra twirled her finger in the air gesturing for Keidra to spin, which she did.
'Simple yet sophisticated. I'm a genius I swear.'
'No need to be modest,' Keidra mumbled. 'Am I free to go now?'
'Yes, run along now children I'll be here waiting for you to get home.' Keidra sweat dropped knowing that when she returned home there wouldn't be a crumb of food in the house. She took a glimpse at the clock on the microwave. 7:13. He was meant to get her at seven. She quickly grabbed her purse and rushed to the door throwing it open and was about to apologise for being late but her voice got caught in her throat. Ryou was dressed in a simple white button up shirt and black tailored pants. He had obviously tried to tame his mass of white hair and now it looked very light and silky making Keidra want to reach out and run her fingers through it.
'Wow, Ryou. Who knew who polished up so well?' Lyra whistled from behind Keidra a light blush creeping across his face.
'Okay! I think that's enough of you for one night. Good bye!' Keidra pushed her friend back inside closing the door behind her leaving her and Ryou in the hall together.
He just looked at her mouth slightly open. Keidra shifted uncomfortably under his gaze. 'What? Is there something on my face?' she said looking up at him smiling.
'N-no! You just look… beautiful,' he stammered. It was Keidra's turn to blush a deep red. I hope we don't spend the whole night blushing at each other… she thought.
'Thanks. Lyra picked it. I think it's too green if you ask me-' Keidra said nervously.
'You look perfect,' He's so sweet… Keidra thought smiling up at him.
'So, where are we going?'

Yes, yes I know it's not nearly long enough to make up for my absence but it was almost twice as long but I decided to split it, which means the next chapter is ¾ of the way done and is twice as long :D
Don't be afraid to point out and spelling/grammar mistakes because I know I do have them :)
Reviewers are cool, so cool ice cubes are jealous ;)
