To save a life

#11) Attend a party and kiss the first person that offers you a drink / dance

I would be lying if I said that I wasn't scared for the next task on the list. For this one, I'd have to do things that I'm not really comfortable with.

The last party I went to was with Aubree and it was truly remarkable. Not in a good way of course. By the end of the night, I ended up puking in two different flower pots and a stranger.

Nevertheless, I found myself pushing down my bubbling anxiety at the back of my head as Piper applied eyeliner on my lids. If she didn't threaten to make me look like Captain Jack Sparrow already, then I would have laughed at her long back. The amount of seriousness on her face was too much to handle.

'Ruwena, this is the most crucial part and unless you want your cheeks to be carved out with a spoon, then I suggest you stop smiling.'

After the night we spent ringing doorbells, I filled Piper in about Bree and the bucket list she never got to put into action and just like her cousin, she promised to help me complete it.

So thats how she ended up in my room, turning me into a statue while she herself was dressed to kill. I'm grateful for all the help she's giving me since I know nothing about makeup,  but seriously I couldn't feel my butt anymore.

Apparently, a friend of a friend of a friend (of a friend of a friend of a friend) was hosting a party and Piper thought that it would be perfect to tag me along. 'You can finally move now.' Piper announced as she clapped her hands together with a large smile.

A sigh of relief escaped my lips as I got up and walked to the mirror to inspect Piper's doings. Like I knew she would, Piper went all out. My purple hair looked effortlessly voluminous and it was curled at the ends. My eye lids had neutral eye shadow on but the wings of the eyeliner was sharp enough to cut any one who got too close. I have no idea what Piper did to the rest of my face but I approve because I'm sparkling like Edward Cullen himself.

'Eh, it's not too bad.' I said nonchalantly with a half shrug but I burst out laughing the moment I turned around and saw Pipers disbelief. I hugged her and thanked her until she told me that she would wipe all of it off unless I moved away.

'I just hope that my idiot of a cousin asks you first.'

'You didn't tell him right?' I asked her quickly 'You said you wouldn't tell him.'

'Relax,' she said as she waved a hand at me, 'I didn't tell him about the rest. I just told him that we were going to go to a party. But I don't get why you don't want him to know about the rest of it though?' Her eyebrows were raised as she placed a hand on her hip.

'Because then, he might ask me on purpose and then we'd have to kiss!'

'And that's not what you want? I thought you liked Tate?' Piper's protective side was coming out and I would have cooed at how cute this was if I wasn't frustrated.

'I do! I do like him but this is just supposed to happen naturally. Look, if Tate asks me first, then I'm one helluva lucky girl but Aubree wasn't specific when she wrote that down. She didn't write 'make someone kiss you'. So if I told Tate, then it would have been for my benefit you know?'

I walked over and plopped down on my bed. My hands itched to run over my hair but then it would ruin the hairdo and everything and I was frankly too young to be murdered by the girl in front of me. When I looked back at this said girl, a smirk was etched on her lips.

'You lost me the moment you said that you liked him.'

A groan escaped me as I reached for the pillow and threw it at Piper. Fortunately for her, my aim sucked and the pillow ended up landing nowhere near her. She laughed loudly and made her way to me.
