I apologise for taking so long to update this. I wasn't really feeling inspired about this bit. I hope it doesn't show in the writing.
A couple of minutes ago, her room had been buzzing with female activity. She had had Nina, Delia and Amy in her room helping her get ready. Hannah hadn't realised until now, how long and stressful the whole getting ready bit could be. She had not really given much thought to the issue, until Amy had arrived at Nina's house, several hours before the actual date. With hindsight, Hannah was glad that she had had their support. They had stopped her from becoming the quivering wreck she knew she was. She checked herself in the mirror one last time, nervously playing with her top. Her heart was pounding rapidly. This was it, the moment she had been dreaming about for so long.
She heard voices downstairs, one which she recognised to be Bright's. 'Don't panic' she told herself. She glanced quickly around, looking at her exit options. There was no escape. 'Take deep breaths,' she kept telling herself, trying to stop her hands from trembling.
As she walked down the stairs, she closed her eyes briefly, taking one deep breath before she managed to muster up a nervous smile. In the corner of her eye, she could see Bright talking to Nina. He glanced up quickly in her direction, and upon seeing her smiled warmly.
Much to his dismay, Bright found that he was suddenly feeling quite nervous. Despite the experience he had had with other girls, this still felt like the first time.
"Hey," he whispered, suddenly feeling his mouth go dry.
"Hey"
"Should we?"
"Yeah"
They both laughed and suddenly the awkwardness dissipated. Bright gently took her hand and led her to the car.
"I just thought I'd say it now, get it out in the open, but well, I'm not going to see any chick flick"
"Bright, if you think that you can persuade me to go see a bunch of guys blowing each other up, you are mistaken."
"Comedy?"
"Comedy it is"
- The End
