21st Day of Tent

Chapter 1

* Michaella's POV *

It's Monday and my clock won't stop buzzing! I quickly shove it, thank God it stopped. I stood from my precious crimson bed when somebody called me for Pete's sake, I sighed. I answered my phone directly without looking at the contact name. "Michaella, my exclusive bag!" Loraine called out blissfully from the other side.

Loraine O'Shea is my best friend since the early days. She constantly stays at my side especially when times get thicker. She has that kind-a like light brown wavy hair, a pair of brown eyes and a long pointed nose. She is a type of person who's compassionate, loving, care free and most of the people in school cherished her because of her talent, in singing. Actually, we're different from each other but she considered me as the same as her that's why we're diggin' off the roof.

Loraine is more like a sister for me, the fact that if she's not here I feel abandoned, and no one to talked to and make fun of other stuffs. My parents and her parents are so close; I might consider them as my relatives from the time when they started hanging out with my parents when we were younger. If you might know, we are celebrating Christmas together at our house and sometimes at theirs. Their house is not too far from us, it's just 2 blocks away so we can call it a night whenever we can. When I first saw her I thought she was arrogant and unkind, but turns out it was the opposite of her. I think I might reconsider the reference back into my head.

Well, Loraine has plenty of admirers and I could tell that she's really pretty in a way that she's not mean toward other girls. We're totally poles apart from each other, I have glasses on but not like a geek glasses just like a simple and beautiful glasses but occasionally I used my contact lens when there's an occurrence. I get bullied sometimes, but they can't stand there for a long time because I can take care of myself now.

One time Loraine and I were eating at the cafeteria and there are two girls coming in our way and she nudges me without saying sorry. I nearly drop the spoon I've been holding and in several ways I didn't know why I got the courage to stand up and toss the iced tea on her shirt. She was really pissed at me but she can't prevail, I got my thing and she walked out. Others are staring at them while the two of us are laughing. After that incident, no one dare to do the same thing and there were times I get intimidated but not to the point I get pissed.

"What is it?" In annoyance tone and I can sense her excitement from the phone.

"What do you mean 'what is it' today's a big day for us!" She giggled.

"Wait what? Hold on a sec." I ran to my calendar which is located beside of my worktable. I scanned through the month of October. And snap! Oh no, not today! I totally forgot the event; I should be ready for now. When I put my phone back to my ear, I think she has a future of being a rapper someday.

"Okay, okay. Stop it would you?" I finished with a chuckle.

"Okay but I really can't wait; now you should be ready go!" She hung up. She's really impatient when it comes to this. Every now and then the teachers are getting into my nerves because they only asked us, Loraine to do the MCs in any event in school but I do like our event today. After that I quickly went straight to the bathroom and took a shower. I brushed my teeth and washed my face. After few minutes, I started probing through my closet.

After 5 minutes, "Why can't I find a good look for me? Sucks! It's harder than I thought, as always. Hey, mom!" I shouted.

"Yes, honey?"She screeched from the living room, I presume because the words are clear.

"Can you help me find a dress or anything that fits me?" I said while worrying that I'm going to be late for the event.

"Coming, darling!" She replied and I heard her footsteps coming up to my room.
