A Fresh Start

Chapter 17: Confrontation

Pink?? POV:

I cried a lot during my meeting with Reve. He stayed with me until I calmed down.

I feel hopeless and I don't know what to do. All these emotions keep spiraling and I'm kinda glad Poppy put that emotion changer on me, so Dream and Mara don't sense what I'm actually feeling.

It'll be a nightmare if they found out how I actually feel about them. How I don't actually love Mara. How I'm not the real Pink.

I think I'll call OG Pink, Fresh, since that is his actually name.

I'm saying actually a lot right now haha.

I stare at nothing. I'm just lying on the couch.

It's already the day of the party. Era is still sleeping and Gen already left to get everything ready. I heard President Cross is hosting the party and inviting both families. And since Gen is like his right hand man or something, he is also helping setting up everything. Making sure everything's in order.

I haven't eaten a lot yesterday and I still don't feel hungry. 'Is it bad to not feel hungry?' I wonder.

'The dress they got me is very pretty. It looks just like Juliet's dress from the play.' I think to myself.

The dress is white and looks like royalty. I am also wearing a black fur coat. I look rich.

'I guess I did get reborn in a rich family haha' I chuckle to myself.

"Wait, what? I remember something!" I whisper yell.

'I remember that I thought that before I died!' I think while smiling widely. 'But, that's nothing. Not like it tells anything about me besides me being, probably, poor.' I then stop smiling and slouch back onto the couch.

I look at the time. 3:45 am .

Era is almost going to wake up to help me get ready. He thinks I'm going to be trying to get back with Mara. He's noticed that I've been distinct, but blames it on Gen influencing me.

I still don't understand why these families hate each other. It's stupid and weird. Shakespeare never explained it and it's probably never going to be discussed.

I teleport to my room and get into bed. I make it seem that I was sleeping the entire time. I only got like 2 hours of sleep.

Knock knock

I guess it's 4:00am already.

"Pinky~! Are you awake?" Era asked excitedly behind the door.

"Come in! And of course!" I say in a tied "excited" tone. FYI I'm not actually excited, I'm dreading every moment of it.

Era quickly comes into the room with a huge smile.

"I'm going to make you so pretty that Mara would have to challenge Gen to a dull to win your hand!" Era says with glee.

"Yo chill! This an't the medical times broski!" I say with a cheerful attitude.

"I know, I know! It'll be funny tho! Haha!" He then goes to help me out of bed.

"It's toooooo earlyyyyyy!" I complain.

"It's never too early to get ready" Era says as if it was fact widely accepted.

"Bro that's unrad yo!" I laugh. I laugh for real tho cause I do find it funny.

"Haha! Now shut! Let my magic work!"

Era swiftly puts me in the center of the room in front of a huge mirror.
