4 Bad Boys and 1 Girl #Wattys2016

Dance with the Devils

"Wake up Sunshine!!" I felt a tug at my blanket and my face was exposed to the sunlight streaming through the window. I couldn't recognize the voice but at that moment sleeping was more important to me than trying to  decipher the voice.

"I hate sunshine!" I said and pulling the cover over me, tried to sleep again. But of course, the person disturbed me again. Didn't this creature know that nobody disturbs my sleep?

"Wake up butterfly!" The annoying high-pitched sound came again as I squinted my eyes due to the glaring sun.

"I hate butterflies!" I tugged the blanket but somebody caught it and I couldn't do it. I tugged harder at the blanket like my life depended on it. I finally got up and sat up on the bed.

"Mom? Where did you learn to make that annoying voice?" I said as my Mom grinned down at me with her arms crossed.

"Hey, you didn't recognize it, did you?" She said and I ran one hand through my hair which got tangled in the knots.

"No, I thought it was that blonde bimbo I met at school!" I said as I tried to free my fingers from the tangles in my hair. Note to self : Never sleep with your hair open.

"Now get up Jenna. It's 12 in the morning! No school doesn't mean you can sleep all day!And don't you have to get ready for that party?" She asked with a stern look on her face and I pouted back at her.

"Mom, that party's at five. I have more than enough time to get ready!" I said as I got up and alked towards the bathroom to brush my teeth. 

"And Jenna, today I have to fly to Paris with some of my colleagues to attend a fashion show and bring in a report......"She said and I turned at looked back at her saddened expression.

"Today? When?" I said as I came towards her.

"I was just leaving. I just came to say goodbye." She said and I then realized that she was dressed up in a formal attire.

"Oh Mom!" I wrapped my arms around her and hugged her tightly. I felt her hugging me back and stroking my hair.

"Don't worry, Jenna. I'll come back after 3-4 days. Till then, take care of yourself, okay?" She cupped my face in her hands and I nodded back at her.

"Good girl. I know you are a strong girl and you will manage for 4 days, right?" She said and I nodded again. She smiled and kissed my forehead.

"Now, goodbye. Get ready for your party on time and all the best. Wake up early everyday!" She said as she walked out the room, waving her hands at me. I waved back with a 'I'll miss you' and continued waving till her brown hair disappeared through the doorway. I sighed and went inside the bathroom to brush my teeth.

After that time flew. Literally. Mom had made breakfast for me and I spent rest of the time watching Doctor Who. Before I knew it, it was 4 p.m. and I went inside my room to get dressed up. I am going to wear that beautiful dress! I squealed mentally as I bounced towards my walk-in closet and took out the dress carefully from the box.

I slowly took it out and tried to admire it from different angles. Maybe if the sunlight fell on this crystal, it will reflect and illuminate the other crystals that will send off a ray of light directly perpendicular.........

Enough brain. Let's get ready!

I stood in front of the mirror when I put on the dress and twirled around like a child. It was just so beautiful. Then I pulled my hair up into a messy but delicate bun that Mom taught me. Then I proceeded to apply some foundation when my phone rang.

"Yes?" I said as I applied the foundation, putting the phone on speaker.

"Jenna?" The voice said and I looked at the phone, startled.
