Nerd Helper (Editting)

Chapter fifteen

We had only two hours to get ready for the party.

"Guys, I still think this is a bad idea, it happens in every movie. When the losers get invited to a party, get pranked and leave the party embarrassed".

"Stop being a debbie downer," Sam hisses while searching in her closet for a dress. She pulls out a short, white, long sleeved dress with lace at the end and throws it at me, I literally eat half the fabric.

"Oow!" I shout while rubbing my mouth, I hear her yell sorry but her voice is muffled because she's deep in her closet.

"Yeah Crystal its just a party, don't freak out," Whitney says as she's finishes up her makeup. I just roll my eyes at her and stare intently at the dress in my hands.

"What's wrong Crystal? Sam and I have done our make up and our hair, what are you waiting for?" she snaps.

They're extremely excited to go to this party, why is that?  In under thirty minutes they were done, Sam the fashion guru picked out our outfits and Whitney the make-up artist made us look like porcelain dolls. Whitney put on a red dress with a thin black belt which complimented her pale skin and black hair, a black leather jacket and a pair of short black gold studded boots, Sam put on a long sleeve purple crop top, black shorts and a pair of purple galaxy vanz.

"Sorry but I don't know how to get ready for parties and why are you both so excited about this party anyway?" I look at them suspiciously.

"No reason", they both answer in unison which makes me more suspicious.
Whitney huffs in frustration because I was being difficult.

Its not my fault I'm being dragged to a party I don't want to go to.

She pulls Sam to her side and whispers in her ear, they both grin which makes me a little worried. Whitney pulls me off the bed and pushes me into the bathroom with the white dress in my arms, throws a pair of black knee length boots at me and locks the door.

"What are you guys doing?"

"Just shut up and put on the dress," Sam yells. So my so called friends force me to go to a party I don't want to go to and then locks me in a bathroom. I put on the dress and stare at my reflection in the mirror, the dress is beautiful, it's pretty, it's amazing but it's not a dress for a girl like me.

"I'm ready," the door swings open. As I step out Whitney and Sam look at me, their eyes practically bulging out of their heads.

"OH MY GOD! You look amazing, your gonna be the cutest girl at the party", Whitney gushes.

"I'm not sure, I don't think I like this dress", I reply while playing with the lace at the bottom of my dress.

"Are you kiding me, its stunning its like the dress was made just for you. I'm sure Nathan will love this dress" Sam says as they watch me turn pink. I glare at them before finally giving in to the dress.

"Make up time," Whitney sings as she drags me to the make-up table. I feel liquids, powders, pointy brushes and soft brushes on my face. I know nothing about make-up, I can only try to apply mascara and eyeliner -which I mess up most of the time- make-up isn't exactly my strong suit. Finally I feel lipstick on my lips when Whitney sings 'done'. She orders me to shut my eyes as she slowly turn my chair until I'm facing a mirror.

"Open your eyes," she yells excitedly, I open my eyes to see a different person on the mirror.

"Wow, so this is the magic of makeup? No wonder why girls love it so much, and I love the red lipstick".

Whitney and Sam stand by my sides both holding curling irons, they nearly burn my scalp but when they're done I look amazing. My hair's in light waves which fall down my back and in front of my shoulders.

I hear a male voice yelling from the bottom of the stairs "Sam aren't you guys ready, get your asses down hear fast I've got important things to do," turns out its Sam's third older brother. She has three older brothers, four younger sisters and a younger brother. To have that many siblings is a night mare to me, I can't deal with more siblings I'll just go crazy.

Sam yells back "Things like what? Sitting in the basement on a Friday night playing video games. Don't blow a gasket we'll soon be down".

Did I mention she's a hot head with anger issues, if I were you I wouldn't mess with her.

Whitney and Sam put on the finish touches to their outfit. I look for a red bag in Sam's closet, long and small enough to fit my camera, I also put on a pair of black glasses with a little red bow at the upper left side.

The ride to the party was boring, Whitney and Sam talking about how fun the party will be, Sam occasionally fighting with her brother, both of them taking selfies and pulling me into them.

I texted Nathan the address of the party and he replied

'On my way, meet u der =)'

The ride to the party wasn't that long it was just a block down from my house ( we passed my house on our way there), when we finally got there I was so happy to get out of the car.They both got out of the car before me, once I stepped out I could feel the vibration of the music coming from inside. I saw a huge house, a beautiful porch, a flamingo water fountain , a garden filled with the most beautiful exotic flowers I've ever seen, a huge lawn illuminated with lights and a large verandah on the second floor, wow Dian's loaded.

I saw Nathan standing on the porch waiting for us, he was wearing the outfit I picked out for him with he's special touch of nerd, he's wearing a pair of black Balenciaga Arena sneakers with batman symbol on the sides.

He's such a nerd. I like that.

I quickly took a picture of him and put the camera back in my bag before he noticed, he was leaning on a pillar and he looked so cool like those bad boys in movies. Whitney and Sam looked at him and couldn't recognize him.

"Wow Nathan, you clean up nice," Sam says looking impressed.

"You look cool," Whitney says but Nathan doesn't respond, he just stares at me with wide eyes. Why is he staring at me? Is there something on my face, its uncomfortable but I kinda like it. As if on cue I started fiddling with my fingers.

"We'll be inside  if you need us," I nod and they give me a thumbs up before going inside.

Nathan still staring at me, doesn't say a word.

"Hi Nathan," he snaps out of his trance and says something.

Finally.

"Oh um um Crystal, you look good.... I mean nice..... I mean cute...... I mean beautiful," he began rubbing his nape and looked flustered, I giggle at him for being so cute right now.

I thought you said you didn't like him that way.

I know, I don't.

"Shall we go in?" he says while giving me his hand. A glance at the door and back at him, I give him a brave smile and take his hand. I still have a bad feeling about this party, something is going to go wrong. But its to late to back down now.

"Sure".
