The City Didn't Make Me Fall (OHSHC)

Chapter 16: All in the Plan

A/N: I went back and changed Clovis' hair colour. It is now brown.

*11 days later*

It had been 11 days since I had my day out with my sister. Kiyomi took me out again yesterday to go find a dress. Today was our father's birthday. Mom has him out all day while the ballroom was being set up. I just have to show up early to put out all the place cards.

Instead of sitting at a table with my family, I will be sitting with Dash, Aceline, Clovis, and Aida. That's correct! My lovely frenchies will be there!! How exciting!

They're all staying at my place for the next two weeks, too! I get to design with Aida and model with Aceline while Dash takes our photos. Clovis will probably hit the arcade or something. And, of course, we'll head out for drinks.

These past 11 days I haven't spent time with or even talked to Tamaki or Kyoya. It was amazing. My mellow levels had gone through the roof! And I've been sleeping again. Yay! That'll most likely all change tonight. Suoh's and Ootori's are on opposite sides of the room. But, for about fifteen minutes, or as long as it takes, Kyoya, Tamaki and I will all be in a room by ourselves; Until they're friends again.

As I put on the new dress, my thoughts began wandering. What sort of mean things would those two say to one another? Would they say anything at all? Would I have to get the ball rolling? Yikes, what would I say?

With a sigh, I pushed these thoughts to the back of my head. I'll be ready when the time comes. I hope. My hair was in loose curls and the dip dye looked amazing. Aceline had done my makeup earlier, and it was super cute.

There's was two knocks on my door as I put on my gold pumps. My dress was cobalt blue. I matched the party theme. I'm so proud of myself. I yelled towards the door that they could come in.

I looked up as the door opened. It was Clovis. He was my date tonight. "Damn, I look good," he said, looking in the full-length mirror. He was dressed in an all-black suit. No tie. That wasn't party wear.

"Correct your language, young sir. We look good," I corrected him, going to stand by his side. I these heels, I was still half a foot shorter than him.

I frown, "Why the hell are you so tall?!"

"The question, m'dear, is why the hell are you so short?" He bops me on the nose and smiles.

"We look hot," I state.

"We do. I feel bad for other people."

I smile at him, "All the girls are going to be drooling over you."

He chuckles, "And I can't imagine what the men will be thinking about you. Married or not."

I hit him on the shoulder, "Don't talk like that, gosh!"

"Whoever is sitting next to you will look like trash," he mentions.

"That's you, remember?"

"Never mind, then! I look amazing."

"Is everyone ready? We need to be leaving! The party starts in an hour and Kasumi needs to set out the place cards!" Aida yelled this from downstairs. She dyed her hair black and got a blue dip-dye for the party. Her dress was a stunning gold. I love her so much for matching my colour scheme.
