“You make me wanna say I do, I do, I do.” I Do by Colbie Caillat

It’s been ten days since Thanksgiving. Sky and I have talked but nothing more than that. We were both busy with finals that really doing ‘couple’ activities was too time consuming. We haven’t even told our families yet.

God knows they want us together though. My mom keeps calling asking about our status and I just tell her that we’re still working things out. Which isn’t an absolute lie, we are talking about everything that’s happened. And to make sure that we’ve worked things out, out families have decided to hold a dinner tonight. I think it’s another excuse for them to throw a party before Christmas, but hey, who am I to judge? It is my family after all.

I was now standing in the living room of Sky’s dorm, the same place I was just ten days before. Though this time around, I wanted to pick her up…and we aren’t in the midst of a fight. I glance up at the clock and notice that we were, once again, going to be late to dinner.

“Blue Sky Anastasia get your ass out here!” I yell to her since I didn’t know which room she was in.

Sky’s roommate pops her head out of one of the doorways, “her names Blue?” she asks. I still didn’t know her name and I have a feeling she’s not too fond of me. It’s not like I care though.

“yeah.” Without another word she goes back into her room.

Sky finally walks out of one of the rooms and my eyes practically pop out of the sockets. It wasn’t her skinny jeans or off the shoulder top that made me react that way. Or even how amazing she looks in general. No, it’s the fact that she now has blue, purple, pink, and black hair. Dark shades of all of them.

She was biting her lip nervously, “like it?”

“it’s definitely not blonde.”

“yeah, that was kind of the point. I love Veronica and all, I just couldn’t stand looking like her any longer.”

I notice then that her skin was a lighter tone, “how much scrubbing did that take?” I joke.

“way too much. Now come on, aren’t you the one that hates being late?” She steps around me to get to the door though I stop her with my free hand, grabbing hers.

“wait.” She turns around and I pull out the present from behind my back, “Happy Anniversary.”

A smile spreads across her lips as she takes the Blue Sky drink from my hand. “You remembered?”

I laugh, “and you forgot?” she nods shyly and I pull her into a hug, “don’t worry, I’ve got the whole night planned after dinner.”

“This is embarrassing, but what anniversary is it exactly?” Sky asks, pulling back from the embrace.

“We officially became a couple after the play. What other anniversaries are you thinking of?”

“uh, well, I wasn’t exactly thinking of any. Now before I get embarrassed anymore, let’s head out. We’re already late as it is.”

“yes, yes. Let’s go.” She sets down the soda and grabs my hand. We quickly walk out to the car and drive to her grandmother’s house.

We burst through the front door only to find everyone right there in the living room. Not exactly what we were expecting. “um, hi?” Sky says awkwardly. Just like my reaction, they were staring at her new hair style, or I guess color.

“Sky, what in the world did you do?” Mary asks, the first to speak up. As they had their little argument about the hair I scanned the room, I recognized everyone there, though I didn’t know one in particular. Veronica was sitting next to her grandmother. I will say that they did an amazing job at transforming Sky to look like her. Now though, they look like twins who are complete opposites. Which is closer to the truth than anything else.
