Chapter 10 (Silver POV) oh my gosh finally double digits!!!

“Ow! Dam! Hair pins hurt!” Silver exclaimed after getting stabbed in the scalp for what felt like the millionth time.

“Hey, it’s all in the name of being queen, hold still then you won’t get stabbed.” Silver blew a ringlet out of her face.

“Almost….. Done” Damien smiled proudly.

 The Silver that stared back at her in the mirror was transformed. Her hair was pulled up in a messy up do with jeweled hair pins; her make-up was flawless, very natural but perfect, and her dress was light pink with spaghetti straps and a fitted top but a flowed bottom.

“You look parasitical” Damien said, then added after Silver gave him a ‘what’ look, “means wonderful”.

Silver laughed. “Go ahead, get ready, Jarred is going to be waiting.”

“You sure? I can tell him to pick me up here.” Damien offered. Jarred had asked Damien about a week ago, he was a very flamboyant guy, who worshipped Lady Gaga. Not Damien’s type but, he did ask him so, being to good guys he is, Damien agreed to go.

“Yes, I’m sure, go” Silver said. Damien nodded gratefully and slipped out the door. As he left, Torrie entered.

“Ohmigod Silver you look amazing.” Torrie said.

Silver glanced up, “You too” she replied, and then went back to typing something on her laptop.

“Whatcha doin?” Torrie asked.

“Nothing” Silver said, eyes never leaving the screen.

“Fine” Torrie said, a little mad.

“It’s a surprise. You’ll see it soon, promise.”

“Ok! So, I’m so excited for tonight, I mean, I’m going with Drake!” Torrie babbled on and on until there was a knock at the door. Torrie leaped up and threw open the door to reveal Drake.

“Hey Silver, Torrie. Silver, got the sack?” Drake asked.

 Silver laughed and tossed him the sack. Drake attempted the trick she’d beat him with on the first day, and hit himself on the back of the head.

“Guess I’ve gotta work on that, come on Torrie.” He laughed and held his arm out for Torrie. She took it and Silver noticed, her excitement had died.

Finally, she was alone in her room.

‘Wait for the right person’. Melissa’s words rocked her brain. Who was the right person?

‘Maika’ she thought, then scolded herself.

‘Not Maika, he hates you. There’s gotta be someone else.’ But she didn’t want to think of anyone else.

About a week or so ago, Damien had sent her a picture of Maika, shirtless, in his room. She’s looked at it every day since, that boy had the definition of six-pack.

‘I like him’ she thought, ‘and he hates me, perfect.’

Silver pulled up the picture on her phone. But, she had Damon, the boy Beth picked out for her.

“Beth, help” she said to herself. Then again, who was she kidding, Maika Suliken wanted nothing to do with her. Then came a knock at her door.

“Hey Damon” she said as she opened the door, closing the picture of Maika.

“Wow, you look, fantastic.” He said in awe.

“Thanks” Silver shoved her flash drive in her purse. “Let’s go.”
