I am doing well. I actually finnished a whole chapter in 2 days! YAY!
Dear journalthingy. Today is….SCHOOL WINTER DANCE! YAY! I am so excited! Over the moon! We worked so hard and we still have so much to do but this is the fun stuff now. (The fact I will be missing social studies and English doesn't hurt eather) (Now that I remember I hand this into English let me rephrase that. I am on… edge to the fact I am missing my… wonderful English class. But will do all missed work in a timely matter. And I won't enjoy missing English too much :( Anyway! Gina didn't ask Alex out and neither did Alex ask Gina. :(X2. And there is only 1 week after this left till school is out for break! :) I will have to do some serious work if those too will be together by Valentines Day. Now I am off to school. I will report back to you tomorrow morning.
Angela walked towards the door and took a look at the gym. Half way through and the snowflakes looked gorgeous hanging a good 9 feet off the ground. With the blue spotlights the snowflakes would shine beautifully giving off the perfect winter atmosphere. Some round tables had been set around the gym near too where the food and drinks would be being sold that evening. About 10-12 tables had clean white plastic tablecloths on them and round, glass centerpieces sat on them. The centerpieces had blue and clear decorative pebbles in them along with water and some light blue flowers of some kind that Gina had found were floating on the water. 5 chairs sat around the tables. The fold up chairs looked transformed with the white plastic covers they found along with silver and blue ribbons tied in big bows in the back. Angela was proud of her and Gina's handy work. They had both come along way since they met in the beginning of the year and she was happy they could come together and create something beautiful the whole school was welcome to enjoy.
"excited?" Gina said taking Angela out from her daydream
"yeah. You?"
"of course but…" Gina handed her a box. "I need help with streamers"
"Gina, would you like some help with streamers?"
"how nice of you to ask Angela."
About half way through streamers, Blair made her presence known.
"Okay, Gina, Angela this is the last time I will go get 50 balloons for you filled with helium!" she burst through carrying about 10 balloons in each hand. She dropped them on the floor and the weights stopped them from going anywhere.
"I guess getting balloons was hell…" Angela thought outloud. Gina stood beside her and nodded in agreement.
Angela just put on her dress when there was a knock at the door.
"Come in."
"Angela! Darling you look wonderful!" her aunt said
"Thanks aunt Lucy." She smiled.
"You know what. I have just the thing to make it all the more special. Stay here!" Aunt Lucy smiled as she headed towards the guest room. Angela walked to the door and waited, curious as ever as to what her aunt had in store for her.
"Here it is!" her aunt said walking back towards her down the hall.
When she got to the door she lifted the box from her side and revealed its contents. A beautiful silver necklace with a lone diamond dangling from it. Along with matching earrings.
"This was grandma's. Grandpa gave it too her to wear on their wedding. She only wore it on special occasions. She let me wear it on my graduation night. She wore it all the time when your grandpa got sick. After he passed she stopped. Said it reminded her too much of what they had. Reminiscing too much. Not moving on. And she said she knew he wouldn't want that. He didn't want her moping all the time. So she took it off. When I got my first travel report that required me to travel she gave it to me. Something to remember her by. To always have her near me. She said the memories she made wearing it gave her joy and she wanted me to have the same." Her aunt said with loving eyes at the memory. This was the most of background history she knew.
"Aunt Lucy… I couldn't."
"No. You can and you will. It gave her happy memories, me happy memories now its your turn. Lift your hair, I'll clip it on." Her aunt stood and carefully took the necklace out of the box as Angela lifted her hair off her neck.
When both the necklace and earrings were on, Angela looked in the mirror. Her aunt was right, it elevated the outfit to the next level. And knowing the story behind it made it that much more.
"I was right again." Her aunt said patting her on the shoulders and giving her a hug from behind. "One day it will be your necklace." She proclaimed.
"Won't you want to give it to your daughter one day?"
"I wont have kids. Not now anyway. Maybe I will adopt. But not for a long while. If I were to adopt it would be a boy anyway. You're my girl. And your grandma would be proud to see you wear it."
Angela thought back real hard to memories of her grandparents. The last time she saw her grandma she might have been 6 or 7. She vaguely remembers playing in a garden. But that's about it.
Angela and Blair waked into the gym for the dance. The gym was already very busy with other students. Music being played loudly over the speaker with students dancing to the beat. Angela walked over to the food to find Quinn buying a cookie.
"Hey guys!" Quinn waved to her friends as she took a bite of her cookie
"Hey Quinn." Angela said.
"Good cookie?" Blair asked. She had been claiming starvation since her and Angela left to go to the dance.
"Very. Their 50 cents each." Quinn said pointing to the table.
"Yes. I am there." Blair said as she trotted off to purchase a cookie.
"You did great Ange, with the decorations," Quinn asked
"Thank you Quinn"
Angela and Quinn both looked across the room to see Gina and Alex talking buy the door.
"Are they here…together… or just together?" Quinn asked
"Not together. Just… not together." Angela groaned
"What! No! Why not?"
"Gina's a wimp to ask. Alex is male."
"And it all makes sense."
"So what are we going to do?"
"Angela, what do you mean 'we'?"
"What! You know we need to do something."
"Do we?"
"Yes!"
"Wrong answer."
"No. We do! They are perfect together!"
"And we should not get involved in other peoples lives Angela!"
"No matter how fun it is?"
"Damn you. It is fun. But its wrong."
"I'll help you Angela! Meddling in peoples lives are the best!" Blair said when she arrived back with 2 cookies and a brownie.
"thank you Blair!" Angela glared at Quinn.
"no. I am a good person." Quinn said
"and a good person would want to makes others happy right?"
"Angela!"
"do….it….. come to de dark side….we have cookies!" Blair said in her best evil voice.
"Blair! You too!" Quinn stared at Blair
"Dark side more fun." Blair shrugged
Blair and Angela left to go snoop around Gina and Alex to see what was going on. It was hard to find anything they could use against them or get them together. Just was that they both seemed to like each other in the 'more than friends' way. But anyone within a mile radius of the pair could tell that much.
"they aren't very interesting." Blair noted
"your right. Something needs to happen." Angela nodded
"go do something."
"what?"
"just do it!" Blair pushed Angela into the line of fire and knocking right into Gina.
"um… hi guys…" Angela said to the pair.
"Angela. I was just saying I think you guys did a great job for the dance" Alex smiled
"thank you Alex." Angela said
"having fun? I haven't seen you all night?" Gina asked
"oh yeah. Its really great." Angela said. Trying to act like her and Blair hadn't been spying on them for about 20 minutes.
"so… what you guys talking about all night?" Angela asked
"we were only talking for a few minutes." Gina said
"well you guys were here when I came in and you haven't moved since."
"How long were you here for?" Alex asked
"About an hour." Angela said and watched them look at each other weirdly.
"Well…. I'm gonna go…" Angela said as she stepped away.
Dear journalthingy. I had a lovely time at the dance. I got back about 2 hours ago and I am so tiered. Everyone is asleep now. I know I should go to sleep, but I am not very ready for bed. Panther is asleep on my pillow so I cant put my head there. This will be a short entry because now that I am writing so I am about to pass out. Goodnight journalt
