YIPPPPY! Today's my b-day! Okay here is chapter six. Probably the shortest chapter of all, but it's important.
"Sunny," Ellie groaned, "It looks fine. And since when do you care about your hair that much?"
I stood staring at myself in the giant mirror.
"I just don't want to look like a slob," I said putting my hair in place and smoothing my skirt. I pulled a bag out of my dance bag and swiped my eyelashes with black mascara.
I saw Ellie roll her eyes in the mirror.
"What is with you?" she asked.
"Well," I began, "Yesterday I saw Evan at the park and-"
"Hey, Sunny" a voice said and I turned to see Evan, "The stain came out!"
"I'm not even gonna ask," Ellie said
"Class," Miss Karen said entering the room, "today we will be learning to swing."
I grinned across the room at Evan. He smiled back. Ellie narrowed her eyes.
Later, I called Ellie to ask her about the next day's outfit. The phone rang a few times and the recorder came on. I left a message. I hung up the phone and frowned. Ellie was always home at that time and almost always answered her phone. It was puzzling but I soon forgot about it.
The phone rang and I quickly picked up. It was Evan.
"Hey, Sunny?" he said
"It's me," I said
"I was just wondering…" He said
"Wondering what?"
"Um, you know yesterday, uh, I just didn't know if we were, you know, uh… if you want, um, boyfriend- girlfriend."
I smile appeared across my face.
"Yeah, if you want,"
"Yeah," Evan said sounding relieved, "Okay."
"So," I said, "What now?"
"I guess we're dating."
After we hung up, I blasted up my music and jumped on my bed like a maniac- air guitar and all. I felt like my head was about to burst. I lay on my rumpled bed and stared at the ceiling, my thoughts and heart racing.
Hey, one thing if you ever want to see some illustrations of the characters, tell me in an email, or review, or IM me.
