Almost Impossible

Chapter Seven

*Mitchelle's Bridal gown*

"Excellent work Mitchelle. This is absolutely divine." Mrs Davon praised

"Thank you Mrs Davon. I put alot of hardwork into this gown. I wanted everyone to be dazzled by what i had to offer."
"I can't speak for everyone, but i think its incredibly beautiful. That gown deserves an A+"
I squealed inwardly. "Thank you Mrs Davon. Thank you so much."
"No... Thank you Mitchelle, for producing such beauty." She smiled at me and my heart swelled with happiness.
"Next we have Ariel, present your work to us if you may."
"Yes Mrs Davon."
After we saw a couple more designs. The bell rang

  I sighed as i walked out of the class. I'm glad Mrs Davon allowed us leave our mannequins in the classroom until college ended. it'd been alot of work dragging it around.
Still i had to manage carrying my design book and all my stationaries to my locker and not fall down on the way.
When i got to my locker. I managed the combinations and unlocked it.
Phew!
It was a relief getting all those weight off me.
"Mitchie!" someone called out from behind me. i turned to see Ariel walking towards me.
What does she want?
"Mitchie." she called again when she was much closer.
"Hey Ariel. What's up?" i asked nicely.
"You forgot this." she handed me my sewing kit.
"Thanks." i said tossing it into my locker.
"No problem... I always forget things too. And i always have a hard time remembering where i left it. And when i do i'm always too far to get it and it can be really. Infuriating." she said.
"Yeah." i said. trying to keep up with her. One thing has been clear to me ever since Ariel joined my class. She is a complete chatterbox.
"By the way, nice work with that dress. It's amazing. I could never design something like that, you are so gifted. You really deserve that A+"
I smiled at her. "Thanks" i said.
Okay she might be a chatterbox, but she really knows how to give away compliments.
"Ooh... is that your boyfriend? Cause he's been staring at you for a while now." she said looking behind me.

"What?" i turned to look at the person she was refering to. And then i saw him.
Leonardo Rios.
The guy i met at the grocery store.
The guy with the lovely dimples.
The guy i promised to call.

Shit!
I had so much in my mind that i'd forgotten to call him. I didn't know he was in this college.
I turned away from him and sighed.  I was too busy worrying about Shane that i'd forgotten all about him.
Speaking of Shane, he tried apologizing to me this morning, but i didn't listen. I wasn't mad at him anymore. i just wanted him to think i was.
"Oh. He's coming this way. I guess i better go. See you around." Ariel said running off. I had barely taken in one breath when i heard his voice just over my shoulders.
"Hey beautiful."

"Jesus! You scared the demon outta me." i said trying to calm my racing heart.

"Sorry, just thought i'll come and say hi. I waited for your call yesterday, but you didn't call." he said, resting on the locker beside mine.

"I know, i'm sorry, i had alot of things going on i totally forgot about it."

"It's okay. I'm glad i found you here though. It's a huge college."

"I didn't know you school here." i said, folding my arms.
"I just enrolled. For part-time classes actually. We can't afford full-time classes for the whole semester and my mum's in an awful state right now. She needs me to take care of her." he said sadly.

"It's must be really hard for you. Trying to take care of your mum and also pursuing your studies" i said, sympathizing with him.

"Yeah." he sighed deeply "But i can handle it." he smiled reassuringly.

"I'm sure you can." i smiled back. "And i'm sure you'll make friends who'll help you out with your studies. What courses are you taking?" I asked.

"They are actually science courses. I wanna study marinebiology." he felt so proud saying it.

"Wow! that's alot of studying." i exclaimed.
"I know, i was actually gonna head out to the libary. Wanna join me?" he asked.
"Actually, i was gonna head to the diner to meet my friends and get something to eat. Sorry. Maybe some other time."

"Dinner tomorrow at six? My treat." he asked, smiling ever so sweetly.

"Sure" i said.
Wait! what??
"Great! See you later." he said heading out.

Did i just accept to go out on a date with someone i met yesterday?

"Hey what's got you looking like that?" Anji asked as i plumped onto the bench next to her

"I think i've got a date tomorrow" i said blankly.
"What?" they all chorused.
"The last time you went on a date was in high school." Anji reminded me.
"Who's the guy? Don't tell me its Shane cause he's dating Paula."

"No.. it's not Shane. it's......."

"Mitchelle!" someone yelled my name so loud it could be heard two miles away. Everyone turned to the direction where the voice came from. And there was Paula walking towards me. And by the looks of it, she was furious.
"You motherfucking son of a..." she stopped cursing just as she got to me. I stood up to face her.
"What's up with you? Have you gone nuts yelling my name like that?" i scolded.
"You good for nothing wretch." she spat.
"Hey you watch your tongue or i'll cut it off." Ayla said, standing up for me. But i held her back, and the rest too. They all wanted to stand up for me and i understood. I would have done the samething for them. But i could handle her myself.

"What did i do to you Paula? Why are you insulting me?" i asked keeping a straight face.

"Oh don't act like you don't know. What did you tell Shane yesterday that made him cancel our date?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." i told her.

"Of course you know what i'm talking about bitch. If you have a problem with me then say it to my face and leave my boyfriend out of it. You hear?" she yelled.

"I can't believe how classless you are. You are just an insecure loser who's afraid of her boyfriend's step sister stealing him away from you. Gosh you are worse than i thought" i said spitefully. I could here a couple of giggles ringing around the diner.
Paula looked like she was going to explode.

"How dare you say that to me?" she shoved on my chest, making me stagger backwards.

"Hey what's your problem?" i said shoving her back. She grabbed someone's spaghetti and threw it at my face.
The whole diner went 'ooo'
I grabbed a bowl of what i think was chowder and threw it at her.
It got crazy and we got into a fist fight. It took all of my friends and some guys to pull us back.

"You'll pay for this Mitchelle." she yelled as they dragged her away.

"Rot in hell." i yelled back as the girls walked me to the ladies to clean up.
