WE ARE ALL GUILTY : Maybe Even You Are?

24) Lipstick

Here I am early in the morning, standing in front of my wardrobe and wandering what to wear for the concert tonight. This has made me understand my need of more dresses. Cause every corner is filled with jeans, crop tops, tracks, hoodies etc. I called my mom to ask if I can wear her clothes if I find them appropriate. She told me to go ahead and take whatever I'll need. I walked across the hallway into her and dad's room. I rolled my eyes to the fact that her wardrobe is the exact opposite of mine. I kept digging through the shelves etc till at last I pulled out the one that caught my eyes. It's a type of fit and flare. Navy blue with silver glitter layer. Perfect. I took it to my room and threw it on my bed. Next, I pulled out my make up pouch. I don't have much since I dont usually wear anything except nude lipstick and pinkish nude eyeshadow. That is my go to layer. I decided to go to sephora due  to the fact that my lipstick has come to an end and also my eyeliner has dried. And also that I don't have any accessories at all except the pendent dad bought be last birthday. Also...I am starving. I ran to my car and pushed the pedal till I reached McDonald's. I ordered some nuggets and a big mac. Like I said, I'm starving.

After finishing gulping down my order down my throat, I got back in the driver's seat. Next stop was sephora. Luckily I found a parking spot considering the number of people who were here. Not exactly sephora but gucci, chanel etc too. It is the costliest street with these shops. I entered sephora and to my surprise, Ace was there.
"That's why you look so good. You wear makeup", I suddenly said to Ace who almost jumped at my sudden interruption.
"Good lord. The first thing, I am. The second, no I don't use any make up. I gift it", he explained after being able to calm himself down.
"To whome?"
"Pree. It is her birthday. That's what D said. So I'm here to pick something up for a very look obsessed teenager", he reasoned
"Why are there 2 same lipsticks? You can pick something different "
He smiled at me and said, "The other one is for somebody else. You'll know". He went to the counter and checked himself out while I continued to look for the best nude shade that would be perfect for tonight. It took me half an hour to select the accessories but it was mostly because I was distracted by literally everything else. When I finally made the choice and purchased it all, I saw Ace waiting outside.
"Were you waiting all this time?"
"Nah, I got something else meanwhile but when I was here, I saw you you checking out so I waited"
"Aww.....you can just say you can't live without me", I teased him.
"In another life", he laughed it off and I did too.
We drove back side by side till I stopped at mine and he waved past me. I got in and watched Wednesday on Netflix. Very interesting especially because I somehow relate D with the hyde guy. Don't tell him that. It was 5:30 when I started getting ready. That's when I noticed that I need a makeup brush. Lilie had the best ones, and that was prolly with mom. I went to her room again and opened the dressing table drawer this time. As expected, Lilie's kit was there. Untouched, kept like a fricking monument. I opened it and looked through till I found the brush I'll need. I dug my fingers through it. Before finding any brush, I found a lipstick. One that I'd seen before pretty recently. But hey, I've been looking at lipsticksall day so..... It was a classic matte shade which is old and gold. I took it out and opened it's cap. But I didn't find any lipstick inside. It was a paper rolled up and kept in it. I de-rolled it and saw something written on it, it was a gift for sure. And without any name of the person, perhaps it was obvious to her on who would give it. It read "New year brought everyone so much hope. But my 'hope' is YOU"
I smiled at that. Must've been a cliché relationship. But it's cute. Lucky you, Lilie. I kept it back just like it was and got off to my work.

7 pm sharp was when I had finisned taking pics and heard the double honking of Ace's car. I opened my window and peeped out to confirm. After that, I went down with nothing except my phone which I plan to keep in Ace's car. We greeted eachother with a bright smile.
"Hey"
"Hel-lo", Ace said while eyeing me head to toe. I was just immune to his flirting by now so I couldn't bother asking him why he did that because I'd only get a cheesy pickup line at most. We both got seated in our seats. I noticed something in Ace's pocket so I asked, "What's that?"
"Nothing really. Something for somebody tonight", he responded.
"Uh...so you're gf will be there tonight. Got it"
"Wish I still had one", he laughed it off. No use in saying to Ace that I'm sorry about his break up. Cause he's had more break ups than there are girls in the whole school. Sorry for over exaggerating but it's true....somewhat atleast....or not.........I dont know
We drove to our school while singing Shawn Mendes. Well, mostly Ace sang it cause I requested but I sang sometimes too. Not the point. We reached at about 7:45 or 50. The decorations were extremely beautiful, especially the lighting in the tress and let's not even talk about the drinks. There was this Mock on fire counter which was where I spent most of my time to be honest. We met D, Isabelle, Prach and Noah. We all rushed to the hall together to find seats. Not to say, the orchestra was amazing and we all mostly talked about it when we came out of the hall. The choir was a mix of untrained, trained and hopeless voices. And since they sang in multiple launguages, it sounded more of a dog howl than usual. And even though the characters chosen for the play, were hated. We still liked the plot. Might be because we slept through it.... After coming out, we were all too tired to even stay awake. It was 1 am and we were all acting like drunks. I don't know how Ace managed to stay awake and drive me home. He's a superhero, definitely. While I was getting off, Ace handed me over both my phone and the other lipstick he'd bought today. I was too confused but also too tired to question it. I just took it and left. I don't think I even cleaned my face before going to bed. I just changed into something comfortable and dived into my bed.

I woke up after 8 hours with the lipstick still in my hand. I opened it quickly but nothing was there except of a rolled up paper. Same as the one Lilie had.
I de-rolled it and it read "New year brought everyone so much hope. But my 'hope' is YOU".
What the actual f-
