Chapter 5: Mystery Gift

Mara's P.O.V

  I was so happy I got in! My heart was pounding hard when Kevin winked at me. What am I feeling? Don't be silly Mara! I tell myself, you know what you are feeling. You have interest on Kevin! I shake my head trying to subside my feelings and thoughts towards him and focus on celebrating. I sighed. I was In! I got in! I wish my grandmother was here.

Chloe's P.O.V

     I got a text from Mara,

"Hey Chloe! I got in through the audition! Please tell Drake for me ! And OH!!!  you know what that means right? Erica is up for a celebration! Hahahah! See you tonight!"

I was so happy for Mara, I knew she could do it. I replied her as soon as possible.

"Hey Mara! I'm sooo beyond happy for you! (is there such phrase?) Hahahah! Okiie, I'll tell Drake! "

   As I search for Drake's number on my phone, my heart felt being hammered. I think I like him? Drake, I like Drake! I think I'd keep that to myself, I'm scared to change things and I might ruin everything we have right now. I searched through my contacts and found his number, should I call or text? I'll text.

  "Sup Drake? Mara got in the audition and we're celebrating tonight and you should come! :P"

I was so nervous when texting that and it even got worse when I sent the message. As soon as I reached for my bag ,I got his reply. " Yup, I'll be there. I'll pick you up. :)"  As I read his text I couldn't stop reading it like ten times. I smiled , I know I'm blushing. Oh Drake, What did you do?

Erica's P.O.V

  The audition went well and I was too happy for everything! For Mara! She's like my younger sister and I couldn't help it. I was too proud of her! I immediately called friends to come to the party and to invite others too. I even texted them "Hey Party at the Bar! Be there at 8! Forward. :))" This should go well!

  I looked for Mara and saw her sitting down. She was smiling for awhile but the smile fades away too quick. I knew what exactly what the reason is, her grandma. I know that she thinks about her too much and  for someone I know well, she thinks she's not worth to be loved though I know that her grandma would be so proud of her. I just wish she would think that too. "Mara! We should get ready for the party later let's go home." I called. She smiled, hugging me and whispered behind my ear, " Thanks for everything." With those words spoken , I was happy and grateful for her. I loved that about her.

Mara's P.O.V

  I am happy. We went home together so that we could rest and get ready for the celebration. I was excited! There was just one problem. I do not know what to wear. Big deal, right? I don't usually mind but Erica pointed out that I shouldn't wear something "soggy" according to her. What's that suppose to mean? My clothes are perfectly fine and all that comfortable.

  I head to my bedroom and saw my phone vibrated. I do not know whose number it was but it says, "I thought of giving you a present, go outside." My heart beats fast. Who sent this? But I was too tired to think. Maybe it's Chloe or Drake surprising me. I smiled and head to the door.

  There was no sign of Chloe or Drake, nobody actually. Then I saw a box. I rushed to my room and opened it. A beautiful dress! How lovely, it was dark blue and had a purple ribbon that is tied on the waist part that fitted perfectly on me and whoever gave this has a perfect taste for clothes, that I must say.

   "Wow! That dress is perfect on you. Who gave you that?" Erica beamed. " I-I don't know actually but it might be Chloe or Drake, not really sure." She smiled and I did too. " Well, you look beautiful! " Erica said. " You look Fantastic!" I replied. We head to car to go to the party, I hope that this would be great!
