"Ellie Conklin!" I tried to escape Susanna but she was on a mission to find me. "I can hear you!" She shouts after me as I try run but she sees me and I stop in my tracks, pretending to look at the painting on the wall.

"Come on." She ushers me with her index finger. I roll my eyes. "Fine I'll go get changed." Susanna chose today to do my portrait, though with what I knew about Susanna, I absolutely hated sitting for my painting. It was just so tedious and boring and my back always hurt afterwards.

I got changed into my Deb dress and headed outside where Susanna would be painting me, she turned her head to me, her eyes immediately lighting up. "You are so beautiful El." She grabs my hands leading me to where I would be sitting.

She positions my hands where they had to be before heading over to the canvas. "How are you hunny, what have you been up too?" She asks focusing on the canvas.

"Susanna we spent all night last night doing a Harry Potter movie marathon, you know what I've been up to." I giggle. "I mean the stuff you can't mention in front of your mum." She tuts.

"We all went to a boat party which was fun." I mention as she nods her head, half listening. "How about Deb practice?" She questions.

"It's going good, oh except for the dancing part, I can't seem to get the steps." I sigh loudly. "Only you." She shakes her head. "So what about an escort? If you haven't chosen I can ask one of the boys." She offers but I immediately shake my head.

"I'll find one don't worry, I'll just have to warn them about my bad dancing." I had no idea who I was taking to the Deb ball, I guess I could ask Jeremiah. But deep down I knew I wanted to ask Conrad but the fear of being rejected loomed and shut that idea down quickly.

After what felt like hours we had finally finished but Susanna wouldn't let me see the photo, she said she would reveal them all at the end of summer. I tried to have to deep conversation with Susanna about  how she was doing, what she had been up to before summer, her answer to everything was that she was fine, which i knew wasn't true. 

I was waiting for Belly too come back from picking Taylor up from the coach, because Jeremiah had gone with her, Steven was at work, my mums had now headed to the beach and Conrad was fishing. The house felt quiet.

I decided to use this to my advantage, after getting changed out of my Deb outfit. I rush downstairs and turn on the speakers as I blared out music and danced around the kitchen and living room like I was in a music video.

I stop for a second as I hear laughing and turn to see Conrad at the back door, filming me. "Conrad Fisher!" I shout throwing a pillow from the couch at him as he smoothly moves out the way still laughing.

I walk over grabbing his phone but he tightens his grasp bringing his hand closer to his chest as mine follows, feeling his abs through his shirt. "Come on Ellie, like your going to win." He says with a raspy voice. The voice, the answer touching was too much. I blush heavily as I let go and Conrad smiles brightly stepping back and going in his phone.
