Cathalina has never believed in love at first sight, soulmates or nothing like that, it's probably because of her parents, they had divorced when she was very young and she thought that love never works out. Love was unnecessary and stupid, but will...
The next morning I woke up with a bit of a hangover, I walked downstairs and saw Antonio, "oh hi Antonio" I said, "hi Cathy" he said "my head is killing me, I was so drunk last night" he said "oh about last night, do you remember anything?" I asked wondering if he remembered the kiss, "well the last thing I remember is sitting on the couch with you" he said, I was so relieved, I didn't want him to remember the kiss, "so it's almost I cento giorni" Antonio said, "oh yeah" I said, with everything going on I kind of forgot about school, "I just can't wait to get school over with, it's always studying" Antonio said, "yeah that's why I'm going to America" I said, "really I thought you were just joking about going to Harvard" he said as he chuckled, "you're so rude!" I said, then we both laughed, yeah just laugh with him, he'll never like you like that, the voice was back again, why would he love you, you've known each other forever he only sees you as like a sister, I just ignored it.
May 18, 2005
It was the day of I cento giorni, I wasn't that excited as everyone else, I woke to a call from Lucia, "ahhh it's I cento giorni!!" She said excited, "yay!" I said trying to seem excited, "omg I'm coming over to get ready with you!" She said "Lucia it's only 11am, it doesn't start until 6pm" I said, "so we need to have a lot of time!" She said and hung up.
She practically ran to the house, because she was there in about 5 minutes, "so do you have your dress?" She asked, "yeah it's somewhere in my closet" I said, Lucia ran to my closet, "is it this?" She asked, she had pulled out a old dress I'd never thought I'd see again, it was a pink spaghetti strap dress with a matching scarf (thingy)

I just stood there staring at it in shock, it used to be mother's dress, she wore it when she was on the cover of her first magazine, she had gave it to me, in hope of one day I could wear it when I am successful.
"Um...Cathy are you ok?" Lucia asked, "oh um yeah" I said, "but thats not it, it's that blue one right there" I said, "but why can't you wear this one, it's so pretty and you'll look so good in it!" She said happily, "I can't" I said, "why not?" Lucia asked, "because it was my mother's" I mumbled, "oh...I-I-I'm so sorry Cathy, I should have no-" Lucia said, "I'll wear it" I said, "oh really are you sure?" She asked, "yes" I said, I changed my mind because I needed to face my fears.
Around 5pm
I stood the mirror, I looked just like mother, I didn't know if that was good or bad, "you look amazing!" Lucia said, "thanks" I replied, "you look gorgeous too!" I said, "omg thank you!" Lucia said and hugged me, you don't deserve friends like Lucia, she's too nice to you maybe she's using you too, the voice again, I couldn't get away from it, "come on we'll be late for taking pictures" Lucia said, we both ran downstairs, "finally you guys are done, you took forev-" Antonio said but paused, "wow you guys look amazing!" He said, "thanks!" Lucia said, "come on let's go!" She said, and we all walked out.
We're at the park taking pictures with everyone from our school, why are you even here? You should be home doing something useful, so you can be just like Mother, I mean you already look like her, the voice said, I was kind of making me uneasy, what if it was right?
