Julianna Ivy Hamilton was the schools typical nerd, except that when school got out she returned a different person. She was one of those girls that showed up early and had maybe one friend. But one summer she and her cousin, Victoria, decided to go...
"Here put this dress on," I said shoving a burgundy dress with a black collar at Madalyn.
She took it out of my hand and slipped it over her head. I grabbed a lipstick to match the color of the dress and swiped it on her lips.
"Sit down. I'm gonna do your hair."
I pulled my green desk chair in front of my dresser so I could see her in the mirror. I straightened her hair and then pulled back the top half into a little bun.
"There ya go."
"Thanks!"
"Girls hurry up!," mom yelled as she walked past my room.
"OKAY!"
I threw a pair of black, lace up, chunky heels at her and a different phone case. I ran over to my suitcases and pulled out a pair of black lace up heels and a different phone case for myself. I quickly fishtail braided my hair and pick up Ellie. I ran downstairs and set her outside on the patio. I pulled my shoes on and picked my phone back up. I ran outside and climbed into dads Lincoln Navigator. I sat in the middle with Faith and Peyton and Madalyn sat all the way in the back.
On the way to her house I decided to text Tori.
'Hiya! Are you going to Mrs. Bailey's tonight?'
A few moments later I got a response.
'Yeah! I'll see you there?'
'Yes ya will!'
I turned my phone of and listend to the music dad was playing.
"What is this?"
"The music? Debussy: La Fille Aux Cheveux de Lin."
"It's beautiful."
He nodded and I leaned my head back against the head rest. I shut my eyes and pictured myself watching it being performed live. After a few minutes, I felt the car turn into Mrs. Bailey's driveway. I opened my eyes and saw her standing on her porch. She approached our car as dad brought it to a stop.
I hopped out the car and ran over to give her a hug.
"Julianna! You look gorgeous! How was Los Angeles?"
"Thank you! Los Angeles was greta! You'll never guess who I saw this morning in the hotel lobby!"
"Who?"
"Chase!"
"Really? What did he say?"
"Not much. He's living with his dad in Seattle now. His mom passed away a couple years ago."
"Oh. That's a shame. I have a surprise for you and Victoria."
And as if on cue, Victoria's car rolled into the driveway. She parked and ran over to us.
