Hello Big Apple

What's a party without puke?

I just can't open my eyes! I feel so sleepy. But someone needs to stop the stupid alarm! Arrrgghh!
I look out for my iPhone and find it on my study table. Perfecto! Now I need to get off my bed and walk all the way to switch it off. That was the ultimate aim anyways, for me to walk over to the table to switch the alarm off so that I would have a reason to get off the bed. Now I secretly curse myself for coming up with the weird idea.

While I still fight to keep my eyes open, I get off my bed to switch off the alarm. I switch it off and check on the time and the screen read 10.00 am. This is considerably early for me because back at home, on a weekend, I would find myself getting up only by teatime.

I check out on my messenger to see the messages I've received. There are messages from Louis, Cindy, Jade and my parents. I reply to all the messages. Jade had sent me a selfie the girls' had taken during their lunch break and also a picture they had taken during their practicals.
Louis' message said that all the preparations for his masters in Australia was done. However, he still had to wait for the accommodation details. I am so happy he finally gets to do what he's been always waiting to accomplish.

Leaving out a sigh, I head to the shower. I had a few errands to run and I had to make sure I complete everything before the party tonight. Oh! Talking about the party, I had to try on the dress Mrs.Evans gave me.

I got out of the shower and decided to try on the dress. I took the dress out of the forever 21 bag. I was excited to see what was in there.
Woah! It was a dark blue sequinned sleeveless dress, it came above my knee. It showed off my curves just right. And I loved the dress! And I was glad it didn't expose much of my cleavage. My first party experience shouldn't be a ruin. I walked to my wardrobe to look for a matching footwear and my black 5 inch heel caught my eye. Perfecto!

I got out of the dress and got into a t-shirt and my denim shorts. My first stop would be to do my laundry. The week's clothes were already piled up in my laundry basket. Something was wrong with my washing machine so I needed to use the laundry service until I get someone to fix it. Just as I was about to get out of my studio, a text arrived. It was a text from Oliver.

Hey Lucy,
What plans have you got before the party? Wanna hangout? :3

I would love to explore more of the city as I've been stuck in my studio for the whole week after school. But I've got my errands to run. So, I quickly typed a reply.

Hey Oliver,
I would love to but I've got some errands to run. Sorry buddy! :(

I hit 'send' and after a few seconds, I got a call from Oliver.

"Lucy, how are you gonna go around running your errands?"

"Uhmm, maybe I'll catch a cab. Zion doesn't work today. So yeah."

I turn around after locking the door and I shrieked!

"Zion! You scared me!"

He chuckled showing his dimples. He was dressed up casual. A black V-neck t-shirt and faded skinnies.

Oh shit! I almost forgot Oliver was on the other side of the line. I gestured Zion to wait a minute. And he smiled and gestured for me to carry on.

"Lucy, Lucy, can you hear me?"

"Oliver, I am so sorry. Zion just appeared at my door. So I guess I don't have to catch a cab now."
