THE WICKED SORCERER | LORENZO BERKSHIRE X Y/N MALVADA

New Year's

A week later, it is New Year's. Right now everyone is hanging streamers and getting the drinks ready. I felt extremely tired and I don't think I will be able to go to the party.

Astoria and Theodore were putting the drinks on the table, Pansy and Daphne was making a playlist, I was on the sofa reading, Lorenzo was taking a nap next to me, Draco, Blaise and Mattheo were already getting ready. The girls haven't even chosen their outfits.

The party was only 2 and a half hours away and the house was ready. The girls dragged my ass to our shared room to get ready. I just sat on the bed wanting to go to sleep.

"Guys what should I wear?" Asked Pansy while flicking through every clothing piece in her wardrobe. I got up and walked up to her wardrobe. I looked at it for a while before taking out a mini pink lace dress with spaghetti straps, white cowgirl boots and silver jewellery.

"Here." I handed the pieces over to her and she looked utterly bewildered at how fast I thought of it. She went in the bathroom and changed. Astoria decided to wear; a blue mini backless dress with black boots and silver jewellery. Daphne decided to wear; a scarlet strapless mini dress with a floral print and a slit, black cowgirl boots and gold jewellery. I was still in bed while they were doing their makeup and the party was only an hour away.

"Why aren't you getting ready?" asked Daphne.

"Why are you rushing to do your makeup? The party's starting in an hour." I asked clueless why they're rushing. They looked at me annoyed. I rolled my eyes jokingly and laid back down.

"But seriously, why aren't you getting ready?" asked Daphne while sitting next to me, getting worried.

"I'm just tired. I can't be bothered to move." I replied unbothered.

"Well you are coming. We can't go without you." said Pansy who jumped on the bed and laid next to me. Astoria walked to my wardrobe.

"What do you wanna wear?" she asked while looking at my clothes.

"I don't know, something casual but sexy, I guess?" I told her. She rummaged through my wardrobe and after a good 10 minutes she threw it on me. I walked to the bathroom and changed. It was a low/mid-rise mini black denim skirt and a dark green bandeau top with a pair of combat boots, some calm and classy gold jewellery and a silver and gold watch. I walked out and walked towards the mirror. The girls were stunned and so was I.

"I dibs on hair and makeup!" shouted Daphne. We all laughed. Daphne did the same makeup when I went to my first party; a clean look but with a subtle black eyeliner and a subtle black waterline. She put my hair in half-up half-down braid. We heard the music start and chatter getting louder by the second. Did we really take that long? Wow.

When Astoria opened the door to reveal constant chatter, loud music and the strong smell of alcohol already spreading, I felt like fainting. I took a deep breath and left the room. When we reached downstairs, the manor was getting filled with people. I didn't know what to do. I felt so...awkward, I guess? I didn't know how to react, to move. I was so distracted by everyone around me I didn't realise my feet were planted on the ground. I couldn't move, it was like I was stuck in cement. I felt a hand tap my shoulder and I jolted.

"Woah, didn't mean to scare you. Are you ok?" It was Lorenzo. When I saw him, every single thing went quiet. The chatter, the music, the sound of glasses clinking against each other. Everything. I was also a lot calmer and I was finally able to move. I was focusing so much on him I totally forgot he asked me a question.

"Just tired. I don't think i'm going to stay here very long actually. I'm just gonna sit on the coach, make sure the girls are drunk enough until they don't even notice that I already left and went to bed." I said. Lorenzo smiled and it made me want to kiss him. He has the most adorable smiles, the most amazing hugs and is a total child. I love it.
