It's Christmas. The day of the Yule ball. I could not be more excited and nervous. I feel like I could puke. Yes I have my dress, and yes I know all the correct dance moves but I'm still shitting it. What if I accidentally trip on my dress and fall down the staircase, landing on my face. What if I can't remember the right dance moves when it comes down to it. What If I have a bad hair day and my hair doesn't decide to cooperate with me and it ends up looking terrible making room for even more disaster. My hair could ruin the entire night.

Abigail-"Jeannette? You awake." She pulled my out of my thoughts, thankfully. If I kept thinking my mind might explode.

Jeannette-"Oh..yeah I'm up."

Abigail-"Is everything okay?" I sat up and rubbed my eyes.

Jeannette-"There's so much to think about."

Abigail-"The diary?" Oh yeah and then there's that. So much was on my mind.

Jeannette-"Abi, be honest with me okay?"

Abigail-"Okay."

Jeannette-"How does my hair look? Honestly."

Abigail-"Uhm, I mean it's a bit messy but over all it looks good why?"

Jeannette-"So just bed head then?"

Abigail-"Yeah. Why are you stressing so much?"

Amelia-"She's paranoid about tonight."

Jeannette-"Am not."

Lorelai-"You look great okay. And it's not just about how you look it's also about how you feel. Do you feel great?"

Jeannette-"Besides the nausea, yeah I feel alright." I said.

Amelia-"I'm not really buying it."

Jeannette-"What do you want me to say, I'm nervous? Because I am yes. I'm just afraid of screwing up. But I know that we will all have a great time. And I will shove the nerves down and focus on the excitement bit."

Amelia-"That's the spirit."

Lorelai-"Who are you going to the hall with Mia? I forgot."

Amelia-"Andrew Thomas."

Jeannette-"that's not who asked you to dance at rehearsals is it?"

Amelia-"No, that was Robert Harold."

Lorelai-"Are you breaking heart Mia?"

Amelia-"Shushh." She laughed and looked at myself in the mirror whilst they continued a conversation. I look fine, I feel fine. It's gonna be epic.

Time passed and I sat there alone in the common room.

James-"Jeannette?"

Jeannette-"Oh hey.." He sat next to me.

James-"So about Malfoy."

Jeannette-"Oh, no James please not this again. I don't want to hear it anymore."

James-"No I'm here to listen this time, I promise no interference."

Jeannette-"Well, alright. What do you want to know exactly?"

James-"I just want to know why him. Why Malfoy."

Jeannette-"Okay but know that he's not just Malfoy to me anymore." He nodded his head. "Okay, brace yourself because I've not told any of the other guys about this okay?"
