Chapter 12
(Max's P.O.V)
After Friday, the last class we had was Calculus. As soon as the bell rang, I packed my books and my bag, and was the first one out the door.
"She's in a rush," I heard Dylan say, "I wonder who she's meeting."
I smiled to myself as I headed to my red convertible. I waited for the longest five minutes ever, before Ella showed up. She quickly got in the car, and before she had even properly closed the door, I had started driving.
"Wow! Someone's excited," Ella said.
"I can't help it," I shrugged.
"So what are you going to do on your date?"
"Watch a movie and then some ice-cream. You know, the usual," I told her.
"Ah, I see," she said. "I know the perfect outfit."
When we got home, Mom was already there.
"Hi, Mom," I said as I dashed upstairs.
"Are you going to get ready now, hun?" she asked.
"No," I said, turning around half-way up the stairs. "I'm gonna take a long hot soak first." And that's exactly what I did,
Almost two hours later, I stepped out of the tub. I wrapped myself in a towel and headed to my room: Ella was carefully line out my outfit for the evening, down to the jewellery.
She had chosen a close fitting blue Ed Hardy top with a white skinny jeans and blue and white sneakers. I was also required to wear a pair of black chandelier earrings.
After I had gotten dressed, I called Ella in to do my hair and make up. By the time Ella was finished, my hair was in a high ponytail, my make-up was done more exquisitely than Marilyn Monroe's and Dylan was at the door.
As I tuned to go meet Dylan, Ella stopped me.
"Don't forget this." She tossed me a white hoody. "It might be chilly out."
I smiled and blew her a kiss.
"Thanks," I said, and went downstairs to meet Dylan.
