As White As Snow Literally

Chapter 4. Party Time! ( part 1 )

"You better place those decorations neatly!" I yelled at my little brother who had just taken out the decoration box.

"Whatever." he began tossing decorations onto random shelves and cupboards.

And surprisingly, it looked nice.

I looked over to the table that I would my masterpiece of a cake on.

This table has to be extravagant enough. But not so, that it would overpower the cake. Hmm...

I rubbed my chin to think of something.

Suddenly, a lilac table clothe hovered over the wooden table, covering it neatly.

I looked up and saw Julie smoother big out the corners and the edges of the table cloth that was now draping over the table.

"Perfect!" I exclaimed, clapping my hands together.

I looked at my watch. 5 hours more to the party.

Im turning 18!

"You're turning 18!" Julie squealed in delight as she began hugging me and jumping at the same time.

"I KNOW RIGHT!" My mom suddenly yelled and came out of the kitchen wearing a sunflower apron.

She dropped her spoon that was covered in cake batter and charged towards us. She spread out her arms and wrapped them around me and Julie. Joining us as we were jumping me.

How awkward. My mom is jumping with me and my bestfriend. Why isn't this illegal?

Me and Julie exchanged looks and slowly and awkwardly pried ourselves out of my mother's vicelike grip.

"Ring! ring!" the phone began ringing continuously. Vibrating causing an annoying sound against our wooden coffee table

My mother rushed over to it and picked it up.

"BRIAR IS TURNING 18!" We heard a female voice screech through the phone.

Why did she sound so familiar?

Suddenly, I saw Julie's hand plant on her face and she mumbled out.

"Mom's here."

We looked over to the door and saw a blonde lady with crystal standing outsider door. She was wearing a a floral print jumper with some sandals and was holding loads of Colourful dresses in hand.

She held her phone to her ear with her shoulder keeping it in place. A huge and bright smile showing her pearly white teeth was plastered onto her  tan skin.

How could I forget? How could I not even recognize her phone? I had just been to her house last week.

Like me and Julie, my mother and her mother are bestfriends too. I guess the friendship runs in the blood.

"OMG GF! Like totes excites for your D's b-day!" she yelled out jumping up and down.

Did she just day "D's B-day"?

Hehehe...

I heard Julie giggle softly too. But I could still tell that she was slightly embarrassed because her cheeks were tinted pink.

My mother opened the door and let her in.

"D's birthday?" Julie queried, biting her lips afterwards. Trying her best not to let a laugh escape.

"Yeah! My Bff's D!" she said with an unsure pitch to her tone.

"The one with long brown hair and violet eyes!"

Then, an unwanted visual popped up in my head, causing me to shudder in disgust.

We gave her an unsure look.

"I think she's talking about you." Julie whispered, nudging me.

I rolled my eyes.

"Hi aunt Cathy!" I faked my enthusiasm.

I hugged her as she squeezed out all the air in my lungs. I felt the fabric of the dress brushed up against my back. I awkwardly, pulled back and shot her a stiff smile. In the background, I could her Julie giggling.

"I guess it's... MAKOVER TIME!" she squealed out, tossing all her dresses into the air. My mother giggled as me and Julie exchanged glances.

We ran up to my room and they straddled me to the chair.

"First! We have to get rid of that disgusting colouring in your hair!" Her mother said as she took a couple of strands in her hand, flinching in disgust.

"WHAT?" I yelled out as I grabbed onto my head.

"Too late." My mother shot me an evil smile and they tied down my hands to my side.

Oh No.

I shot Julie a "save me" look,but all she did was shrug in pity as my response.

They applied hair dye remover on my hair and washed my hair, still straddling me.

Then, they applied all sorts of sticky stuff on my face. I squirmed in my chair trying to get out. What if I shifted would that have consequences?

Yes.

1) I would ruin my pyjamas.

2) I would piss my mom off.

3) I would piss Julie's mom off.

4) they would shift from being pissed off.

Then, a blood bath begins. Was I overthinking it? No.

I sat still after think of all the possibilities. I constantly looked up at the mirror to check how it was going on.

I had to admit, I looked hot. My hair was in a bun that let loose of some little hairs in the front that were curled. My make up made me look like a princess.

Sparkly green eyeshadow and a lipstick shade of baby pink. They ushered me into the toilet and made me try on several dresses until I found, the one.

15 minutes later.

I put on this silky green dress that fell just below my thighs and poofed out towards the ending. The waist line was lined with amethyst jewels and so were the sleeves.

I did a little spin in the mirror adoring my complexion. For once, my hair colour did not bother me.

I slowly emerged out of my bathroom and strutted out like a model.

Their eyes widened in awe. My mother held her hand to her mouth, drowning out a soft squeal. Julie ran over to me and hugged me while Julie's mother began whistling.

"I can't believe your turning 18!" Julie exclaimed as she hugged me tighter.

I hugged her back.

"Wait, just promise once thing?" She asked timidly, sounding a little scared.

"Of course anything." I assured her.

"Chicks before dicks?" She queried, pulling me away and looking at me seriously.

I let out a giggle. I held my pink infront of her and she hooked it up with mine.

"Chicks before dicks." We said in unison, beaming at each other.

My mother and her mother began clapping with a touched look on their faces.

Suddenly, the door creaked open. My fathers head peeked through the gap and then opened it fully. He was wearing tuxedo and gelled his hair up fancily.

Then he walked over to me and said the 3 words I was waiting for this whole day.

"It's time."
