"It's fine. So, what do you say? Want to go and get pizza after classes?"

"I had fun tonight." He said in front of my dorm. "So did I." I said. "And thank you." I said. "For what?" He asked. If only he knew. "One day, I'll tell you. I promise."

I WOKE UP TO MY PHONE BUZZING. I look and see Ashton texted me. 

Ashton

-Hey Em, I was wondering if you wanted to come and see me and my band practice today? I think I'd be great if you got to know the boys better.

-That sounds fun! And do you mind if I ask Lauren if she wants to come?

-Thats fine! And come over to room 785 around 1:30.

-Great! See you then.

Did I seriously just agree to this? I know I'm starting to trust him, but are we getting to be good friends? This quickly? I need to talk to Lauren about this. I swing my legs onto the floor and walk over to her bed. I shake her awake. She rolls over and looks at me. "What. Are. You. Doing?" She asked. "ImayormaynothavetoldAshtonwewouldwatchhisbandpracticelater." I said quickly. "Em, slow down." She said, sitting up. "I may or may not have told Ashton we would watch his band practice later." I said. Her eyes widen. "Em! Really?" She asked. I couldn't tell if she was happy or mad. "I'm sorry!" I quickly said, sitting down next to her. "Emily! Don't be sorry! This is great!" She hugged me. "Don't you think I'm...I don't know...opening up quickly? Like a week ago I wouldn't dare speak to him, now I'm going to watch his band play!" I say. I hadn't realized I was shaking until Lauren put her hand on my shoulder. 

"This is good. This is great. This is amazing. Don't doubt that. You feel like you can tell Ashton anything, and that is something you haven't felt that since...Noah." She said. "Now, we have two hours. Let's start picking out our outfits!" She added, grabbing my wrist and pulling me up. She dragged me over to our shared closet. We were almost the same size, so we basically fit into most of each other's clothes. She went through my drawer and tossed me a pair of army green joggers. She then started going through the shirts and grabbed a white, stripped sweater. She also tossed that over to me. I went into the bathroom and changed into the outfit.

Once I was dressed, there rolled up the white sleeves just below my elbows. I walked out of the bathroom and walked back into the bedroom. She was in maroon overalls that ended mid thigh and a white sweater underneath it. "We look beautiful!" I said, proudly. "Now, let's do hair!" She sat me down on my bed and grabbed her curling iron and a comb. She started going through my hair and curled section by section. "Isn't this a little too fancy for a band practice?" I asked her. "Nope. Today, he gets to see how beautiful you look with curled hair." I giggled and walk Youtube on my phone. 

After she was done, I look in the mirror and I couldn't believe it. I look beautiful. "Now, your turn!" I say. I push her down onto the bed and grab a straightener. I slowly straighten strands of her hair until her entire head of hair is straight. "Perfect! Now, makeup!" She said. She. grabbed her makeup pallet and started applying eyeshadow before I could even protest. "Don't worry. We're doing something natural." 20 minutes later, she finished. I stand up and walk over to the floor length mirror. My makeup was stunning, but yet it was still natural. My eyes consisted of browns and tans and a hint of rose gold with a small cat eye and mascara. She added a bit of blush and highlighter and even contoured a bit. I have to admit, Lauren is fantastic at makeup.
