Chapter 3

*Ebonie's POV*

I sat on Amy's bed while  she was looking through her closet. We was getting ready for Alex's party. She had already found what she was going to wear to it but I was a little more picky about what i wear than she was. She wears almost everything. I, on the other hand, spend hours the night before choosing what to wear to school the next day. "How about this dress?" Amy asked me hopefully, holding up a short purple dress.

"I only like strapless dresses. Plus, it looks too much like I'm going to a dance or to prom." I replied, making her roll her eyes.

"It doesn't matter. We need to make you look beautiful, jaw-dropping, gorgeous, alluring, angelic, stunning, love-"

"Okay, okay, I get it. But why do I need to look so great?" I questioned Amy, full of curiosity.

"Because of Alex! I k now that you like him and we need him to like you. I got a boyfriend and I want us to go on double dates." She answered., making me giggle.

"Amy, no matter what I wear, he won't like me. And besides, I'm over him." I lied.

"Don't lie. I see the way you look at him. The way you blush whenever you see him, taalk about him, or even hear his name. Alex. See? You're blushing." Amy accused me.

"No I'm not." I hid my face behind here big pink fluffy pillow behind me on Amy's bed.

"This is it!" Amy screams. I jump up in fear, covering my heart.

"Amy. You always give me heart attacks. I swear, someday I'll go to the hospital because of you."

"Yeah you will. Because Alex will fall in love with you and you'll have kids. All because I found the perfect dress." She held up a strapless blue and pink dress covered in sparkles.I jumped up from my seat and pulled it out of her hands.

"I'm going to go try this on really quick!" I had a big smile on my face as I ran into her bathroom. I slipped off the flats, tee, and pants I was wearing and replaced it with the dress. I ran of the bathroom to Amy just to be greeted with a scream.

"You look to die for! And I found the perfect silver heels and leather jacket that will go with it. For eyes, I was thinking of doing a smokey eye look and pink lipstick  and for your hair, just make it really, really curly." I thought it all through my head and knew it was prefect. I couldn't wait!

For the next two hours, we got ready for the party. Amy switched her original dress to the purple dress she first showed me. I made Amy's hair a curly up-do and she also did a smokey eye look. Right when we got finished, we made her older brother drive us to the party. Neither of us had our drivers license yet and besides, her older brother was cool.

When we got there, we knocked on the door. Alex answered it and greeted Amy but for some reason when his eyes landed on my, his mouth feel open. I looked down and blushed. I got out a really quiet eye and then he fell out of his trance. "Uhhh, sorry. Bonnie, you look gorgeous in that dress. I'm glad you could make it." I smiled and blushed even more. My face was the color of a firetruck. Amy and I stepped into the house and shut the door.

"What about me?" Amy messed with Alex. Alex rolled his eyes and I giggled. "Well, I have to go check on everyone. Talk to you later."

"Later." Amy and I said in sync. We walked around looking at every one. Almost everyone Save had a cigarette or an alcoholic beverage in their hands. They was all underage, but I knew Amy and I were better than that. I was hoping Alex was better than that as well.

Then some guy walked up to Amy and I. "Do you know where any bedrooms are?" He asked us, with his arm wrapped around some topless blond, with a cigarette in her mouth and a bottle of Jack Daniels in her hand. We both shake our heads no.

Amy and I walk to the dance floor and dance the night away. She dances amazingly but I only know the Egyptian. She saves me from total embarrassment by teaching me how to dance. I even got more compliments on my dancing than her! Right in the middle of a song we were dancing to, somebody drags me away. Panicking, I slap whoever was holding me and get ready to attack. But then I heard somebody say ow and knew who it was. "I'm so sorry Alex.", I apologise.

"It's okay. But I dragged you over here to ask you something very important. I don't really know how to say this but here it goes. Will  you got out with me Ebonie?" I look at his smile and find it irresistible. I decided to answer his question with a kiss. My first kiss. My first boyfriend.

Alex deepens the kiss and I realise how soft his lips are. I pull away, to get some air. "So, is that a yes?" I hear Alex question.

"Yes." I giggle and slap his arm playfully. Then, I see Amy making her way over to us too. "Hey Amy."

"Ebonie! I was looking all over for you! What the heck happened?" Amy panics until she sees Alex. Then she gives me a look and I know she knows I'm with him. "I'm so happy for you! Double date?"

"Alex?" I give him he puppy eyes and he made a big smile.

"Of course ." Alex agrees. He takes my hands into his and puts something in it.

"What was that?" I wonder out loud, puzzled.

"A ring, lamost as beautiful as you."

Sorry for the long wait, and short chapter. But Thanksgiving break is soon. Plus, for Christmas, I'm getting a laptop and I type better on them than on a desktop. I type faster and the words flow more. On the desktop, I sit puzzled for days, weeks, months. Haha, comment, fan, and vote.
