Descended

Chapter 3

I went to the nurse's station and quickly got my scrape taken care of. We walked around the fair a bit more until one of us decided that we had had enough. I wandered around the crowds of faces looking for the boy I had bumped into earlier. Although he came off as rude, I definitely couldn't blame him. I had ruined his clothes, a result of not paying attention. All I wanted to do was apologize and make sure that he knew I meant it. After about 20 minutes of aimlessly wandering around, I was unsuccessful and the boys were already ready to start heading back to their dorm. As we made the walk back, the sun was already beginning to set. I checked my phone and realized there was still about 4 more hours left until the party.

"You can come kill time and chill with us if you'd like Jenn. It won't take us long at all to get ready anyways." Liam offered.

"Thanks guys, but I think I'm just gonna head back to my room. After all, I am a girl and trust me it's gonna take me way more than just 10 minutes to get ready."

"She has a very good point. Well, just call me if you change your mind. If not then we'll see you again at about 10ish." Niall gave me a quick hug and reminded me to lock up, and then him and Liam were off to their dorm.

As soon as I stepped through my door, I sat down on the recliner. I hadn't had a good decent seat since 3 hours ago at the nurses station. I inhaled the smell of lavender and jasmine that surrounded me. I looked down at my clothes and remembered that I still didn't have anything to wear for the party tonight. First things first I wanted to take a shower to clear my mind.

I walked over to my suitcase and took out my towels. As I entered the restroom, I started the water and began to undress. I stepped into the shower and was immediately engulfed in a cloud of steam. I let the warm water run through my body and soothe my muscles. I shampooed and conditioned my hair, and then followed to washing my body. Since the weather was warm out today, I didn't want to wear jeans to the party. I wanted my legs to be as smooth as possible, so I shaved them over and over until I was convinced there were no traces of hair left.

After my shower was over I reached over for my towels, wrapping one in my hair and the other around my body. It was now 8 which means I had to decide what I was going to wear, and fast. I spent about twenty minutes taking out clothes and unfolding them only to choose dark denim shorts, and a solid orange v-neck shirt. I didn't want to spend a lot of time on my hair so I just settled on blow drying and brushing it. I followed my same routine of applying mascara, eyeliner, and lip gloss as my "make-up" for the night.

By the time I was dressed and ready, it was already 10. Niall would be texting me at any moment to let me know that they were on their way. I rocked myself on the recliner just staring at my shoes. As I rocked back and forth, I paid extremely close attention to my legs. I hated how big my thighs were. I was definitely not your average 110lb girl. I was curvier than half of the girls I knew. I was the type of girl who pointed out every flaw on my body. How my arms weren't thin enough, or my stomach wasn't perfectly flat whenever I'd sit down. Just as I was about to go change into jeans, there was a knock at my door.

"Who is it?" There was no answer.

I got up and unlocked the door carefully cracking it open enough to take a peep outside.

"It's just me Jenn, relax!" I immediately recognized the voice as Niall's.

"What happened to you texting me?"

"I didn't want to waste any time, so I figured I'd just come over." He shrugged his shoulders. He was wearing a plain grey tee, jeans and coordinating converse.

"So you ready or what? The boys are waiting for us in the car." I had barely remembered that they would be joining us.

"We're not walking?"
