The Dream Boy

Chapter 9

As soon as I washed my face mask, my face relieved shiny skin. My sister forced me to sit on the bed while she was doing my eye make up and it had to match my dress, which was blue. I could feel the tabbing of the paint brush on my eye. As soon as she finished using one set of make up she would use the next. Finally, after about 1 hour, Josie had finished my make up, she said I looked stunning about you know sisters.... She wouldn't allow me to look until I had put the dress on, she screamed with excitement and showed me to the mirror. I looked in the mirror it was like a different person had formed. My sister is a miracle worker! She showed me to mum, dad and my brother (Ben) even they were astonished."This is going to be the best prom ever!" She screamed apart form she was wrong, I had no one to go with, but I was going to spoil the day...
She drove me to school,"Errr... I think we are early,"I said trying to make up any excuse.
"Nope, we are bang on time! Come on get out!" She says.
Plan B, pretend to be ill, I started coughing," I feel ill," I say. She looks at me and feels my forehead.
" You are not ill, I will drag you in myself if you don't get in there, do you want to miss the prom? The best day of a girls life..." She says. I completely disagree, but I get out of the car and smile to my sister. I pretend to go inside and as soon as she has driven of I slowly walk round the back. I am not going inside, the music is so loud. I would rather look at the stars. When I finally find my way round I hear shouting, one of girls I remember.. Wait! She is Jacksons girlfriend....and the other looks like... Wait! She is Scarlett. They're pulling each other's hair.
"GET AWAY FROM MY BOYFRIEND!YOU WEIRDO!" Jackson's girlfriend says.
"NO! HE IS MINE,"said Scarlett. Isn't this stupid girls fighting over boys. I walk towards the fight and try and break it up. It gets more violent and Jackson's girlfriend try's to punch Scarlett, Scarlett ducks,which means I end up getting punched. I fall to ground, I feel dizzy, people are crowding around me and they seem to be going round and round. I try to get up, but I can't. This official the worst prom ever. I can hear Jackson, but he is talking in muffles. I shut my eyes. When I wake up, I'm in a hospital with an oxygen mask, my dress is all bloody. I scream, I hate blood. Jackson appears from the bed and holds my hand. I smile... I am safe! I just lie there helpless.
When I look at myself in the mirror it's like a completely different story:
-My hair has got dried blood
-My whole face looks terrible
There are two cards on the table beside me, I read the first card:
To Poppy,
I am so sorry about hitting you instead of Scarlett. I mean Scarlett did deserve it.
I hope you get better soon.

The second one said:
To Poppy,
I am sorry that I got obsessed about Jackson, I can tell he really likes you and I shouldn't have been jealous of that.
Lots of love,
Scarlett
