Line skip to 5:30 p.m. the day of their date…
In an hour my boyfriend, my best friend, was going to pick me up for our date. My first date to be exact. And two days ago I got my first kiss from the most amazing guy in the world. That's when I realized I was in love with him. I don't know if he feels the same way but he makes me feel something I've never felt before.
Every time I turn around to look at him during class, I find him looking at me, with that lopsided smile of his. During Science, since he's my partner and sits next to me, he grabs my hand. In music class, he's always smiling at me.
Just then JJ and Nudge barged into my bedroom, with makeup, and an outfit. I backed away.
"Oh no," I muttered.
"Come on Max!" whined Nudge.
"Yeah! We never get to pick an outfit for you or do your make up! Just this once!" said JJ. I stared at them both, going over the pros and cons.
"Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!" they whined. I put my hands over my ears.
"Fine!" I shouted over their screams. They hugged me so tightly, I thought my lungs would explode.
"Thank you Max!" squealed Nudge.
"You're the best!" agreed JJ, both squeezing me tighter.
"Can't breathe," I choked out. The released me with a "sorry." I smiled at them as they led me to the bathroom and sat me in the toilet. They were going to start applying make up on me until I stopped them.
"I have a few rules. You're not doing my nails, not too much make-up, and no weird outfit," I told them. They nodded and proceeded. Nudge applied my make-up and JJ did my hair. I continued to daydream about the date, ignoring the tugs on my hair and JJ getting it wet. I hope they chose a warm outfit, since it's a bit cold tonight.
"Done!" they said at the same time. Seriously, it's a bit freaky sometimes. They turned me around to face the mirror. The girl before looks…amazingly beautiful. My hair was dyed at the tips with the color caramel and curled into ringlets from half way to the bottom. Nudge put some mascara on my eyes with a beige and brownish eye shadow, light pink lip gloss, some blush the same color but a bit darker."
"Your mom let us dye your hair!" squealed JJ. I smiled at them and hugged them both.
""Thanks guys," I said. They smiled and hugged back.
"Honey?! Fang's here!" she called. I looked at the clock and saw it was 7:01 p.m. JJ and Nudge squealed quietly. Then they handed me the outfit.
"Hurry up! And good luck!" said Nudge. JJ hugged me and they both left the bathroom. There were butterflies in my stomach. I feel very nervous, and I never feel nervous. I changed into the outfit, without ruining J and Nudge's artwork. After two minutes I checked myself in the mirror.
I had a light beige knit sweater with a white camisole underneath, black tights with ugg boots that matched my dyed hair tips. (Outfit is in profile, minus the bag and shades.) I looked amazing, if I do say so myself. It's not very exaggerating, but something comfortable and something I'd wear again. I took in a deep breath and opened the door. I stepped out of the bathroom and headed downstairs. My mom and Fang were sitting across from each other in the couches, talking to each other. When I got downstairs, Fang saw me.
His eyes widened a bit, and he smiled. He stood up and so did my mom. Fang walked over to me and handed me a red rose.
"You look beautiful," he said, brushing away some hair from my face, making me blush. I smiled at him and looked at his outfit. He's wearing black converse, black skinny jeans and a black button up shirt, with his overlong hair falling over his eyes, I brushed it away and stroked his cheek. He smiled at me and kissed my cheek.
"Well I'll get going. It was a pleasure to see you again, Fang," she said.
"It was great to see you too, Valencia," he said. My mom smiled at me.
"I'll see you later then, curfew's at eleven," she said. I nodded.
"Take care of my girl," she told Fang.
"I will," he said, draping an arm over my shoulder and pulling me against him. I blushed even more. My mom's smile grew wider, as she started going up the stairs. Half way to the top, she turned around and told us to have fun.
"We will, thanks mom. Love you," I said. My mom waved.
"Love you too sweetie," she said and went to her bedroom. We headed out the door, and I noticed Fang was going to drive a black 2012 mustang.
"I never knew you had a car," I said, as he opened the passenger door. Fang chuckled then closed the door.
"I thought I didn't have to use it as often, since I like walking to school with you and your brother," he said with a wink after he got on the driver's seat. I laughed softly. He turned on the car and started driving.
"Where are we going?" I asked him. He just smiled at me and gave me a three worded answer.
"It's a surprise," he said with a glint in his eyes. Okay then…
