Banquet Part 1

Read the A/N at the bottom! SUPER IMPORTANT!

Chapter 29

This week had been relatively uneventful, you know except for that fly I want to smash in between my hands, Amber. Her and Lucas have a few classes together and unfortunately I am not in them. She's very sneaky which is playing it smart but either way she's not playing it safe. We're on Christmas break now and I have been racking my brain on what to get Sparky I have an idea but he wouldn't be able to open it till after the fight. I wonder if he'd be opposed to that. Well even if he is, I don't care because I am going to give it to him. I know he'll love it, so that is one thing off the list.

Currently Maya is doing my hair for tonight. I have no idea what she is doing up there, I told her not to make me look like a poodle or anything ridiculous, so we'll see where this goes. "Your hair is so soft. Do you ever style it?"

"No. What for?"

"I guess you have a point, whenever your hair falls into curls like yours you don't need to. Either way I'm having issues getting curls to hold because your hair is so soft and clean." I chuckle lightly and cross my legs in the chair. She already did my make-up and I was pretty much dumbfounded. It looks great, I'm just very wary of covering my face with this shit. But I want to look pretty for him and I actually do look nice. For the first time in a long time I feel pretty. I don't have any bruises, there are a few tiny, minute little scratches but nothing noticeable.

I really have no idea what to expect tonight, I've never been to a high school function besides that football game and I've really never been to an athletic banquet. As long as Sparky is there I don't mind. I told him I want him to hang around more. He can stay over whenever but since his dad lives across the street that can be difficult. We still are not on good terms, so Lucas keeps me away, but can you blame me for not officially meeting him? It isn't like he's fucking sunshine and rainbows, and neither am I so two very hot headed personalities getting in a room together is never a good idea.

My phone vibrated so I moved towards it and click on my messages.

Unknown.

NYKO, it's going down rounds start at 7 o'clock on the 31st. Let's ring in the New Year with new champions. Be there bitches!

"Who was that?"

Bitch, who the hell do you think you are? "No one. Unknown number." I mean I didn't lie. I brush it off and was about to toss my phone when it went off again.

Sparky

Can't wait to see my girl. I love you. 20 minutes.

If I find us annoyingly cute than I can only imagine what other people think. Sparky says that I have a low tolerance for this shit and that's why I find it annoying and hell maybe he is right but we are pretty damn cute. "Done." Thank fuck! I lift my gaze from the text message and stop reading 'I love you' over and over again, to look towards the mirror. "What do you think?"

My hair looks great, she didn't go effing crazy like I was afraid she would. My long brown hair cascades down my right shoulder, she kept my bangs straight and shoved them to the side. "I love it, thanks."

"Don't thank me yet, because you're about to hate me."

"What?" I question in disappointment.

"Lipstick."

"Nope." I reply back as I move to change into my dress.

"Come on." A slow smile crept to her face, "I know how to get you to wear it." Like hell you do. "Give Lucas a lipstick stain. Mark your territory, I hear Amber is going to be there tonight." I start to laugh, mark my territory? Pretty sure I did that last night.
