A Player's Responsibility

Sally's view chapter 4: page 4

I had never felt more excited in my whole life, I was so nervous I was almost shaking and my palm were sweating (It has never happened before). I was going to be going out with Joshua Hutchinson the boy of my dreams, and I didn’t even know what the hell to wear. He came and told me he had D+ (and to be honest I would have gone out with him even if he scored less). I was freaking out; I must have tried on a thousand t-shirt and shirts, thousands, dresses. I started to feel really terrible, I was going to look like tramp next to him and he realise what a total mistake it was going out with me, I mean  I’m not even quarter as hot and beautiful as the girls he goes out with. And it wasn’t easy convincing my dad that I was going to be going on a date with josh.  Let me tell you how it happened. I made coffee and bake a chocolate muffin for him in the morning to ensure he was in a good mood and then I tried out the speech I rehearsed on him. “Dad, Josh asked me out and I said yes”. The cup he was holding fell straight off his hands and shattered piece by piece on the floor. “What did you just say?” I gathered up all the courage in the world and said “I want to go out on a date with josh Hutchinson. He stood up from his chair and I was scared he was going to hit me. “God forbid that I will ever let you go on date with that delinquent, Josh Hutchinson. You’re not old enough to date. And even if you are, it will never be in this life time. Now clear this mess up”. And that was the end of it. But of course I talked to Anna and she was able to sweet talk him into letting me go out on the date and I also had to convince him that it was a date and it was not like I was marrying josh and he agree for me to go, on the condition that I’m home by nine and that I would come back home and never see him if he mistreat me in any way.

So now I can even find a stupid cloth to wear, I look like I’ve just been shocked by electricity. And I look like Mickey Mouse with the makeup I put on and josh is coming in two hours. (Help!!!!!!!).“Hey sally, are you ok?” I raised my head and saw it was Ana here to save the day as always. “I’m great thanks. Now can you leave please?” Ana suddenly turned upset. “Hey! Don’t use that tone with me young lady, I helped you get this date and I can also be the wicked step mother and stop you from going”. Like a baby I started cry and the stupid mascara made me look like a masquerade “hey I’m sorry, I know you miss your mom and wish she were here. But it’s just you and me now. And I promise to make you look like a princess before he get here, the poor boy won’t know what hit him when he sees you. Come on lets go”. We walked to my dad’s room and she brought out a red dress and it was the most beautiful dress I have ever seen. It was long and gorgeous with gold sequins and the top. “Oh my god it’s beautiful!” I exclaimed still in awe of the most beautiful item of clothing I have ever seen. “yeah, it was your mom's and you are going to make it even more beautiful. Come on we don’t have much time).

 I took the outrageous make up off my face and Ana conditioned and straightened my hair and a few minutes later Chloe came over and brought me contact lenses and totally transformed my face, and styled my hair with her magic hands. “You can look at the mirror now” Chloe shrieked with excitement and Anna started crying “do I look that bad”. I said still closing my eyes. “Far from it angel” I opened my eyes and standing in from of me was this extremely beautiful girl was staring elegantly bright back at me, I actually looked like a girl that josh would date. The bell went off and I walked down and answered the door, it was josh.
