Cause I got some intuition

or maybe I'm superstitious

But I think you're a pretty great pill

That I'm swallowing down

to counter this addiction

you got me on a mission

tell me darling can I get a break some how?


"For there's no where else on earth that I would rather be/Let the time go by, I won't care if I/Can be here on the street where you live."
I found myself singing along to the old timed song. Ah! Mitchie was right when she said the songs were classy, and I had a feeling that after I was finished watching My Fair Lady I would still be walking around speaking in a British accent.

I paused the video and got up, searching for something to eat in the kitchen. My mom had left for work an hour before and I was all alone. I felt kind of like a loser for doing nothing but watch old British plays and eat stale popcorn all morning so I decided to mess around a bit with my phone. And before I knew it I was calling Mitchie.
"Helloooooooo" A man's voice said answering the phone.
"Seriously, does Mitchie never pick up her own phone?" I asked the speaker.
The guy laughed "Yeah, I don't even know why I bothered buying her one" By this time I knew it was Rick. (Who else would buy her a phone?) "MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITCH! LOVER BOYS ON THE PHONE FOR YOUUUUUU!" He called. I heard Mitchie running up,
"Hello?" She asked breathlessly
"Hey" I grinned into the phone.
"Hey..." She trailed off.
"Are you busy?" I heard noises in the background.
"Nah, just watching some old cartoons"
"Oh...you want to go get ice cream?" I blurted out, whoa. That had come from no where.
"Oh. Yeah sure" She answered "Meet me at the Carvel near your mom's shop in...thirty minutes"
"Gotchya, see you then" I hung up the phone and pumped my fist in the air. I promised I would finish watching My Fair Lady later and walked to my room to get ready. (By ready, I mean out of my pajamas and into something that doesn't have little pictures of light sabers everywhere).

Leave it to Mitchie to bring meaning to my mornings.

~~Mitchie:

"You're late" Shane said as soon as I entered the small ice cream parlour.
I sat down across from him "Seriously? I rushed as fast as I could!"
He reached over and pinched my cheeks "Aaw, you didn't need to rush" I stuck my tongue out at him. He got up "What flavor do you want?"
"Chocolate" I answered, he nodded and waited on line.

A few minutes later he returned with the ice cream.
"Here you go" He slid a bowl piled high with chocolate ice cream, sprinkles and nuts towards me which I immediately attacked.
I looked up too see Shane watching me.
"What?" I asked wiping my face. "Do I have ice cream on my nose? Cuz for some reason every time I eat icecream, it ends up on my nose"
He laughed "Its probably because you eat like you're starving, but no its just that you look really nice" He looked down at his ice cream.
I do? "Really? I'm not wearing anything special." I looked down at my normal ensemble of jeans, t-shirt, jacket.
He shook his head "The color" He motioned to the jacket "It looks really nice on you" He motioned to the deep blue jacket I had on. Which was actually Ella's. "Oh god I sound like a girl" He smacked his forehead. "Don't mind my feminine-ness, but like I was saying, really pretty" He gave me two thumbs up and a wink.
"Oh your such a dork" I giggled.
He winked again,"Yes, but I'm your dork"

"So...how about this dress?" A.J. asked, giving me a view of her profile.
"Just like every other dress you tried on, it looks absolutely stunning on you" I answered monotonously from my seat on the bench in front of the dressing rooms.
"Seriously?" She twirled a strand of blonde hair around her finger and walked back in the dressing rooms.
A.J. was Jane's best friend, and was also going to be the Maid-Of-Honor in the upcoming wedding, she was a full time model for a hot shot fashion magazine and was gorgeous. She had long blond hair and icy blue eyes.
"Girl, ya'll take to long" Tasha rolled her eyes and plopped down next to me with her shopping bag between her legs, she had been the first to pick out a dress, choosing one immediately the second we entered the boutique. Tasha was tall, standing at about 5'10. She was loud mouthed and friendly, and was a soccer coach at a local high school. She had soft clear skin the color of a hershey kiss and big almond shaped eyes.
I agreed with Tasha, as soon as I had came back from the ice cream parlour with Shane, Jane had forced me to come dress shopping. We had been here all afternoon! And I had yet to pick out a dress.

"AIGOO! All of the dresses are too much big for me!" Someone whined. We turned to see Seung Mi walking towards us, practically swimming in an over sized dress. An amused salesclerk and Jane trailing behind her.
Seung Mi was petite. Very very petite. She was skinny and short and with sleek black hair and a huge smile. She was originally from South Korea but had moved to America when she won a very big art scholarship. She had Jane had become quick friends.
The salesclerk shrugged her shoulders "Do you want to check in the younger girls department?" She offered.
Seung Mi took a minute to decide "Sure...why not?" She pushed her pride away and followed the lady.
"OMG!" A.J. cried running up to us. "This is the dress!" She modeled her pick for us.
"Ooh classy yet still very sexy" Tasha nodded her approval. "Me likey"
Her dress was a floor length, strapless dress in light pink.
Jane was a sensible bride and had decided not to make us all match. Thank god, because I doubt I could pull anything like that in my lifetime.
Seung Mi skipped back to us in a green dress with a bubble hem. She looked like a fairy.
"And that leaves just Michelle!" Seung Mi twirled and clapped her hands. I grinned shakily. "I can just wear the dress I wore to the engagement party" I said sheepishly.
"Oh pish posh!" Tasha grabbed my arm "We came here to buy dresses, then we're gonna buy dresses," She hoisted me up and pulled me towards the salesclerk.

In Seung Mi's words...aigoo.

"No, not this one" Ella sighed sending me back in again. I gladly consented peeling off the small dress. It made me feel naked.
"Rick made me promise not to make you look like a hooker" She explained to me through the fitting room curtain.
"Well thank god for that!" I exclaimed.
"Here!" A.J. said handing me a dress. "We've got a good feeling about this one"
I looked and the dress and smiled. So did I.

"So" A.J. leaned over the coffee table "Let's talk about our love lives"
Tasha rolled her eyes. She was the only one of us who was actually married.
I stirred my tea and waited for someone to say something. No one did, so I decided to speak up. "You know Jane, I never heard how Rick proposed to you"
Jane turned pink and A.J groaned "here we go again"
Jane ignored her and turned to me "Okay, so like me and Rick were watching an old movie at my apartment and like I went to go make some popcorn. And when I came back Rick asked me if he could get a fork." She had this bright gleam in her eyes and related the story without pausing. "So even though...like we weren't eating anything that required a fork, I went to get him one. I opened the cutlery drawer and there, sitting right ontop of my big carving knife was an open ring box, and there was one heck of a ring in there" She grinned, displaying the engagement ring "And there was this note, it said I'm already yours, now will you be mines?'" Jane blushed and I wondered where the hell my brother had gotten the idea for something like that.
Seung Mi smiled at Jane "Ah, you are lucky! My love was too much shy. So I had to do the proposing" She laughed.
Seung Mi was engaged to a very famous actor in South Korea, I should know, she hardly shut up about him.
A.J. smiled blissfully "nothing better then a shy boy" She blew air from her lips "Urgh I am so immensely jealous of all of you. How come I'm the only one without a guy in my life? Even Mitchie has one! And she's 16!"
I growled "I'M SEVENTEEN AND A HALF!"
Seung Mi just patted my hand, she understood how it felt to be thought of as younger then you actually are.
Tasha sipped her cappuccino "You and Benny seriously need get together"
A.J. and Benny had a story similar to Logan and Tess. Best friends since forever, both wanting something more, and both being to chicken to say anything about it.
A.J. choked on her de-caff mocha latte "What? We are just friends"
Jane rolled her eyes "Seriously, you've been in love since you were in diapers"
Seung Mi nodded solemnly "yes, I see it in how he looks at you, and how you do not look at him"
Tasha laughed "You have twenty two years worth of pent up sexual tension and one day it's going to explode like mentos in coke"
I giggled at the analogy and took a sip of my tea. When i looked back up I saw everybody peering at me.
"So tell us about Shane" A.J. inched closer to me.
"What about him?" I asked.
"How is he? Is he romantic? How did you meet?"
I massaged my temples "Please, I just had an interview a couple of days ago. But to answer your questions: hes nice, kinda and totally accidentally"
Tasha clucked her tongue "Doesn't wanna cough up the details does she?"
Jane laughed "She doesn't wanna share her boyfriend! Its hard when there are already about six billion girls ready to jump his bones"
Seung Mi nodded sympathetically at me "Its so hard to love famous people. Others are always jealous. You get many anti-fans"
A.J. stood up "I've decided! I'm going to ask Ben to come to the wedding with me..." She paused for dramatic effect "As my...date!" She giggled and sat back down, taking out her cellphone and texting someone.
"Your asking through text?" Tasha raised an eyebrow.
Jane sighed "Your so brave"

I drained the rest of my tea and stretched my arms above my head. When I thought about the wedding, I felt my stomach flip, and I realized that it was the first time I had thought of Rick's wedding with anything other then dread.
