One day I Will.

gambling.

My mum thought I was stupid to drink Jack Daniels so I was grounded for a month and a half, which also gave me great time to study. I finished the SAT's and ATAR exams and to be honest I think I did pretty well. I was able to keep on a thick mask for a week or two, nobody noticed the weird behaviour and my attempts to talk to Mason. It was coming to a close to October and I was nervous because everytime I go past Mason I couldn't stop myself from just blurring out in though because of what happened the night I was captured. Sam and Caitlin fell in love, you couldn't miss it, even though they don't date, they were dating inside their hearts. Which made my job harder, which made me hate myself more. Daniel and Cacey, the two were practically soul mates, they never fought, agreed with each other without discussion and Abril and Caleb, well those two are in their own wonderland. I try my best to keep Mason happy but the mask I'm wearing is starting to burn away and I think Mason's starting to notice.

I receive notes on my desk every day from Damion, his writing is very distinctive, it was a countdown, 30 days 29, 28, and now I was on 13 days, to break up with Mason and get Caitlin and Sam.. away from each other. I was starting to get worried, what happens if I didn't do it, Was he actually going to go murder me? Was it going to be that bad or is it all a joke. I didn't know what to believe and it has made me loose a lot of sleep. Causing me to sleep during school. The ball was tomorrow. Us girls went dress shopping the other day, It was I have to say the most fun I had in a long time. I chose a dark navy dress, it was those long ones that were short at the front and slowly became longer at the back, I bought new heels that weren't too high this time and it wasTayla's treat to get our nails done.

Mason and his buddies were happier than ever. He got into a college as well. Which I thought was amazing and I was very proud, with the fact that he didn't study for his exams until the night before and still managed to get a really good score, but the problem was he was going to college that was out of the state, I mean it was a good thing but long distance relationship rarely worked, especially for couples around our age. I got into a college as well, the number one in our state, I was pretty proud of myself considering all the trouble that stopped me in my tracks and believe it or not Abril, Cacey, Anne, Lila, Caitlin and Tayla all got in as well! Another 4 years to spend with those bubble heads. Damion was getting to my nerves, luckily not bashing up anyone.

"Tatiana mind getting me the towel," Cacey yelled, we were at her house for the pre-ball catch-up. It was obviously only us girls. Doing each other's makeup making sure we all beautiful as ever. "Abril mind helping me with this? " I said holding up the pin as I look at myself in the mirror, "sure just hold on a minute" Abril says taking off her heels as she walks over, "looking stunning as usual" she smiled holding a piece of my hair and brushing it down, as I hold the curler, "thanks, Abril" I smiled, she nodded and walked over to her little corner where around 8 pairs of shoes laid. "Cacey hurry your ass up I need to shower as well!" Tayla yelled, we all giggled, "alright sorry!" she yelled back, swinging the door open, "finally" Tayla groaned walking the door shutting it closed.

"that's cute!" Caitlin squeals as she walked over to me, "thank you- Ouch!" I yelled, "god it's hot" I snarled putting it down nd turning it off. I shuffled my hair around, "mind helping me part my hair?" I asked Caitlin, "sure but then you gotta help me with shoes," she laughed, "and me!" Abril yelled taking out more heels. Caitlin bent down toward me and used a comb to start the middle of the parting, she was amazing at parting hair like no kidding. "done!" she smiled standing back to take a look at my hair from a far distance, "now you do mine" she said sitting down, "so do you want it near right or center, or part ways?" I said, "talking technical there Tats" Cacey said walking in with her dress. "sorry miss looking amazing" I smirked, "she smiled and looked over at Abril, "having shoe problems again?" Cacey laughed, "I always have shoe problems what are you talking about?" Abril laughed.

"there!" I squealed as I stand back looking at the amazing parting, "man am I good" I murmured to myself. "ugh took you long enough, now help me with shoes" Abril complained, "Whoo that shower was nice" Tayla says swinging the door open, we all laughed, "Tayla hurry and get dressed, we need to get to Abigail in like 45 mins" Cacey said. "your fault for keeping me waiting for so long!" Tayla yelled while walking out of the room to get her dress. "that one" I said pointing at the burgundy shoes, "they'll go beautifully with your long sleeved." I said, "ugh but these ones give me the toe problems" she complained. "right uh give me a second," I said looking through my bag, "ah! this thing is amazing! here give me your shoes." I said, she handed over the shoes and I stuck the things in, "now try it on" I said, she sits down and puts it in. "Oh my god you legend" she smiled walking around in them, "I need a get myself one of them," she said looking in the mirror.

Cacey walked in looking amazing with Caitlin behind her, "you girls ready?" she asked, "Not me!" Tayla yelled walking in, "ugh you haven't even got your hair and makeup done!" Abril yelled, "I'm sorry I had trouble putting on the dress" she smiled "fair enough, now sit here," I said, patting the chair. She walked over and I got Caitlin to do her hair and Abril and Cacey on makeup while I stood there looking for the right shoes for her blue dress with an amazing lining on the back. "looking good" Caitlin smiled, "Tat's you got shoes?" Abril said looking over, "these are perfect" I said handing over heels with straps around the neck of the foot. Tayla smiled and put them on. "let's go" she cheered walking us out of the room with our bags. "wait jewellery!" I yelled, we all stopped mid way in the hallway, "I'll go get it" I said walking back in. I picked up the numerous boxes of our jewellery that we each brought over and walked out. "Now we can go" I laughed, "heading to Abigail!" we yelled.
