Chapter 3
Birthday Flop
It was just a few minutes past six when I had finished my daily chores, now came the hard part... making myself look presentable for my "special" day. Blah! I hate getting all girly and crap it makes me feel vulnerable and incapable of protecting myself, I prefer dressing like a boy and not have to worry about tripping over a dress as I fight. Anyways I'm sort of getting off topic... I walked into my room thinking that I should wear a dress. But when I got there I found that all of my everyday clothes had been taken out of my closet and replace with one over fancy purple dress. It looks like I didn't have a choice to begin with. I peeled off my clothes and threw the dress on over my head, next was the hard part... dealing with my hair.
After several minutes of painful brushing (because my hair got tangled while running through the city) I had finally managed to put it up in a simple bun. To add elegance I went out into the backyard and picked some snow flowers (AN: Very rare her grandmother knows how to grow flowers in snow!) I separated them into a fashion around the side of the bun. I decided that I looked girly enough and that I didn't need makeup. There was no freaken way that I was wearing some overly fashioned shoes either. I am settling on my boots thank you very much, and the dress is long enough to where my grandmother can't see them. The final touch was my mothers red earrings, I was already and outcast so I had nothing to lose, in my opinion though the red made my eyes pop and the amber in them showed up more clearly.
I was ready in what felt like forever, as I walked out I could see that my grandmother had been waiting for me.
"Maya... is that really you"? My grandmother said as she rubbed her eyes.
"Grandma, who else lives here besides me... of coarse its me". I said with a roll of the eyes.
"Don't you sass me girly"! she said with a smirk.
'What! I'm not girly"! I almost yelled as I walked towards the door that led to the front room.
"Maya, wait"! The old woman had said while trying to tackle me.
"What"? I asked.
"There is a young handsome man out there who is to be your escort... his name is Shifu". She stated.
I had to keep myself from snorting... I men SHIFU come on that's a horrible name for somebody.
"Ok,fine but if he tries anything I swear I will waterbend an icicle up his... MAYA SHAME ON YOU! My grandmother interrupted me.
"What I was just going to say a... MAYA THIS IS THE END OF THIS DISCUSSION NOW INTO THE FRONT ROOM YOU GO".
"Oh alright". I said while dropping the subject.
I walked into the front room only to be greeted by *giggle* Shifu. "Ah, this must be Miss Maya, the lovely lady of the night"!
Miss?
She seems to have taken a liking to my charming good looks and tone muscles". He said while flexing. My only thoughts were Oh my god he's a freaken douch bag. I shot my grandmother a look that said Really! she must have gotten it because she just shrugged her shoulder and said that we should start walking to the party.
One hour later
Uhg! this party sucks ass! I hate it because there nobody interesting (except Yue of coarse) and Shifu has been stalking me through out the whole party! I just kept ignoring him until everyone formed a circle around us and that he was holding a... betrothal necklace. One word to describe the necklace UNCREATIVE! it was just a piece of blue jade on a ribbon and there was no way I was going to marry this guy.
Apparently he had been growing impatient with me and my stunned silence...
"WELL"! He shouted.
I cleared my throat and said in calm manner...
"HELL TO NO, I'D MUCH RATHER MARRY A PIG... OH WAIT THAT JUST BRINGS ME BACK TO YOU"! I shouted.
That set him over the edge because the next thing I knew was that he had slapped my face... Bastard!
" I WASN'T GIVING YOU A CHOICE YOU WILL MARRY ME OR YOU WILL MARRY ME YOU LITTLE BITCH"!
All of the sudden I felt this rush of fury and rage as my vision began to cloud. I swung my arms out at him and felt this heat shot out of it.
I heard a high pitch scream and gasps from the crowed... Uh oh... I'm in deep shit now.
