Hes lost in his mind

Chapter 17 : The Date

My phone buzzed as I began to read Harry Potter again. The maid had told me I had to be outside and ready at 7o'clock, so I had plenty of time. I went over to read the text.

{I'm sorry} I checked who the message was from. The contact read '3'. I quickly changed it to 'Cat' before asking:

{what 4?}

{4 being such a bitch in the challenge today. I didn't even congratulate u - and, u won't believe this, but I was talking to MOLLY about how lame u were on the way out! I was mega jealous, A. Soz.}

{that's OK. I guess if I liked the guy I'd be jealous 2.}

{really?}

{yeah}

{I still think I should make it up to u... hey, y don't I come over 2 u're room and help get u ready 4 tonight?}

{u think I actually want to look nice?}

{no, but I think u should make u'reself look nice so u can seduce him then brake his heart}

I laughed, and texted back {good call! Kk, see u at 6?}

{I'll need more time than that!}

{Ok, how about... 5?}

{how about NOW?}

I gasped. {it's 3.30!}

{exactly *rubs hands together and evilly smiles}

{whatever. B across in 5.}

Then I texted my mum, just to let her know I was OK, I wasn't dead - YET.

{hey mum! Just wanted to let you know everything's OK here, you don't need to worry. Have you told the police patrols to stop... patrolling? Has dad come home yet? It there any word from him at all?}

I finished the text and sent it, just as there was a sharp knock on my door.

"come in!" I called, and Cat walked through the door.

"OK, A! You ready?"

"As I'll ever be," I murmered. She grabbed my wrist and pulled me over to the closet, opened it up and thought, making "hmm..." noices as she did.

"Ah! You'll look great in this one!" she pulled out a blue dress that looked beyond indecent.

"no WAY," I told her, but she just puppy-dog eyed me.

"I thought the aim was the seduce him then brake his heart?"

"dammit Cat why?"

"you know you want to. Seriously - go put it on."

I went into the bathroom to try it on. It was a perfect fit, and I knew Damien would go wild when he saw me in it. Oh, why did I have to be here?

"Awesome," Cat laughed. "OK, hair and makeup."

It was good think she came 4 hours too early - by the time she was done it was 6:30. But, I had to admit, it was perfect. The lilac shades on my eyelids and thick eyeliner enchanted my eyes, which I'd always thought was my best feature anyway. The lipstick was a deep red, an amazing colour that I wished I could wear every day.

My hair was done up in a loose bun so that bits fell out here and there, with a little rose to hold it all together.

"thank you so much, Cat." I smiled as I hugged her. "you are forgiven."

And I truly meant it as the maid called for me from outside.
