P.S. Destroy

The Dance

The next day I tell Lauren everything about yesterday and how Andrew originally asked me and just everything. She is a bit confused why I didn't tell her earlier. I usually tell her everything directly so I can understand the confusion.

After school I rush home. I've got only a few hours to get ready before Lauren and Alex comes to pick me up. First I decide to take a quick shower but end up singing in the shower fifteen minutes too long. When I finally get out I try to dry my hair quickly but fail miserably when it takes super long as usual. When I've finally dried my hair I put it up in a braid/bun. I listen to music whilst making me ready because music is relaxing and I'm freaking out invardly. I've never been to any of the school dances and I have no clue what to do. I'm happy about the fact that you have to wear a mask because then nobody has to know who I am and that I am even going there. I take my costume and mask and lay them on my bed and at the same time I recieve a text.

From BFF<3: Darling, fashion emergency!! Can I come earlie to your place??? Please! This is super important!

To BFF<3: Of course! I'm gonna be waiting for you.

From BFF<3: You're the kindest person I know!!! Thank you soooooo much darling! <3<3<3 See you soon!

To BFF<3: <3

After that I throw quickly a blanket over my costume so that she won't see it directly when she comes into my room.

I decide to read a book when I wait for her. Not long after I sit down in the comfy chair I have in my room next to my desk and open the book I'm reading at the moment I hear the doorbell ring throughout the house.

"I'll take it!" I shout to my mother who is the kitchen as I run downstairs. "Hi Lauren!" I hug her when she comes in.

"Hello darling! You're the best when you're always ready to help! I texted Alex to meet us here." She explains to me as we walk upstairs. When we come to my room she almost falls down on my bed before I remember that my costume is under the blanket.

"Don't sit there!" I say a bit too fast.

"Why?" She asks but doesn't sit down.

"Umm... It's a surprise for later." She raises her eyebrows.

"Fine. Now, I need your help. I have no idea how I'm going to do my make-up and hair. I see you have already done your hair what with it being in a braid-bun. Is that what you call it. Why do you always keep it up? You would look so nice with it open!"

"I'll have to do my make-up too but I have no clue how to do it. Could you help me?"

"Of course darling! Let's start with my hair since you've done your already. Then I'll do my make-up and then your make-up." She states and starts to ask loads of questions about how she should do her hair.

Time goes by quickly when I help her put her hair and she puts her make-up and she helps me with mine. It's almost seven and Alex is supposed to come soon. The dance starts at eight so he will pick us up at twenty to so that we won't come too late.

"Are you hungry? We maybe should eat something small before we put our costumes on." I ask.

"Yeah, I'm a bit hungry." She answers. We walk downstairs. When we eat I get a message.

From Andrew: Are you coming to the dance today?

To Andrew: No, I'm just staying home. I'm not that much into the school dances. I lied to him but I don't want anyone to know I'm going. Except Alex and Lauren since they asked me and aleeady know. It's a bit weird, I know, but that's just how I am.
