Getting ready for the Halloween Party
Sorry for not updating so long 'cause i had been pretty busy lately and sorry for the chapter being so short as i actually tried to finish this whole chapter in half an hour's time.
The day of the Halloween Party
In Rosette's room...
"Wow" I can't believe that today is the day of the part!" exclaimed Rosette excitedly as she emerge out of the bathroom, dressed in her exorcist costume and sat down at the vanity table.
"Yeah! It seems as if it was yesterday that we went shopping for costumes!" said Azmaria, giggling and entering the bathroom to change into her costume.
"Thanks again for coming to help us to get ready for the party, Shader." said Rosette, turning to Shader who was helping her with her make up and her hair.
"Any time." replied Shader with a smile.
"Are you sure that you don't want to come along with us?" asked Rosette.
"Yup, I am sure. I don't belong to your school and I don't exactly have a date to go with me, you know. Besides, I have got to go home and finish this new costume that I just designed..."
"Oh! You designed a new costume? Can we see it? Please?"pleaded Rosette with a puppy-eyed look.
"Alright, alright.I'll show you when I'm finished with it." laughed Shader.
"Thank you! I'm sooooo excited to see it! When will you be finished with it?"
"When will she be finished with what?" asked Azmaria as she came out from the bathroom dressed in her costume.
"Shader is working on a new costume! And she promised to let me see it when she's done with it!Can you believe it?" gushed Rosette.
"Really? Can I see it too? Please? " begged Azmaria.
"Ok. You can come with Rosette to see it. I think I should be finished with it by end of next week. How about both of you drop by next Saturday to see how far along I am with it?"
"Ok!" chorused both Rosette and Azmaria.
"So now back to your make up. Azmaria, could you put the foundation on yourself while I work on Rosette's make up?"
"Ok. By the way, who's going to be your date tonight, Rosette?" asked Azmaria.
"No one since practically all the guys in our schools are jerks. How about you, Azzy?"
"Well...Joshua asked me and since I had no date..."
"What? JOSHUA asked YOU? And no one bothered to tell ME about IT?!?!?!? It is unbelievable! Joshua asking someone on a date and of all people it being you! I have a feeling that I'm gonna faint from this..." said Rosette with an exaggerated expression while Azmaria blushed profusely and Shader tried to hold in her laughter.
"Chill,Rosette. I didn't find out any earlier about it than you either." said Shader sniggering. "So...are we going to drill the details out of her now or after the party?" asked Shader with a wicked gleam in her eyes.
"Hm... Knowing my brother, I would say after the party since I can guarantee that they will at least do something interesting during the party..." with this being said, Rosette turned away from the mirror just to see Azmaria blushing profusely, starring at the ground as if she just found the carpeting on the floor very interesting.
KNOCK KNOCK
"ARE YOU LADIES DONE?!?!? WE ONLY HAVE ANOTHER HALF AN HOUR BEFORE THE PARTY STARTS!!!!"
"DID YOU HAVE TO SHOUT,JOSHUA?!!? WE ARE NOT DEAF, YOU KNOW!!!" screamed back Rosette towards the door before she gestured for Azmaria to hide behind her as she stationed herself behind the door.
"OF COURSE I DID ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU HA-" Joshua stopped midway through his sentence as Rosette finally opened the door.
"And we present," said Rosette making an exaggerated gesture and after a dramatic pause, she announced in an even more exaggerated tone, " Miss Azmaria!"
As Azmaria came out from her hiding place behind Rosette, Joshua's jaw dropped. 'She is gorgeous!' thought Joshua.
Seeing the expression on Joshua's face, Rosette decided to step in. " Would you mind closing your mouth, Joshua? 'Cause the place is starting to stink with your bad breath, you know..." Joshua immediately shut his mouth and protested but decided against it as Azmaria tugged on him gently.
Looking at their retreating backs, Rosette turned to face Shader. "So what transport am I going to take now that Joshua is taking Azmaria?"
"Well, I rode my motor bike if you want..."
"Oh really? Thanks, Shader for offering! I will repay you another time for this great favour you are doing since it's quite hard to flag a cab at this hour..."
"No prob. Just treat me to that new restaurant down the street when you are free."
"Ok! Thanks so much!!!" squealed Rosette as she quickly grabbed her purse and pulled Shader out of the house before she can even say "Welcome".
This ending for the chapter stinks. I know. But I am really running short of time to think up a better one though I do have some interesting ideas for the next chapter in mind. Hope you will still continue to support me:)
