Wonder
I was wearing a black, long-sleeved dress and black ballet shoes. I have long black hair and bright green eyes. I was dancing on a large balcony next to the ocean, sometime around midnight. I was dancing, but it was definitely not my normal dancing, (I'm horrendous.) It seemed I had acquired amazing skills in the time I was asleep. Huh. I could get used to this.
I twirled and somebody caught me, gracefully leading me into a dip, like you see every Prince Charming do in the movies. The man who caught me had a caucasian complexion, and warm brown eyes, that twinkled with mischief.
He smiled at me tentatively, and I smiled back, of course. "Thank you." I sated breathlessly. "That could have been pretty painful." He laughed and I gave him a surprised smile. I always found it weird when people thought I was funny. "Uh, would you like to dance with me?" I asked awkwardly.
"Sure, why not? But I have to warn you I am a terrible dancer."
"Thats fine we can kinda just sway if you want?"
"That sounds nice." He nodded and we moved out closer to the middle of the room. At that moment the song changed to a slow coldplay song. Wow, I was good at this dreaming thing.
He introduced himself as Liam. "My name is Claire." I said feeling stupid for not doing so before. He smiled.
"I like that. Claire."He said my name like he was testing the way it felt on his tongue. I definitely liked the way it sounded, coming from him. If he said it again I might melt.
"Thanks." I said blushing. He has a british accent and I felt like I could listen to him speak for a lifetime. When he asked me the basic things about myself, I told him how it was just me and my younger sister, that I was going to UCSB, what my favorite classes are, blah, blah, blah.
"You are a very interesting person," I snorted a bit at that. He added thoughtfully- "you make me look boring."
"Well," I said. " I would like to get to know your boring self."

Claire's POV
I woke up to find my cat, Mini, (she was no where near 'mini') sleeping on my feet and my dog licking my face. I sadly realized the man of my dreams was not real. Damn. I got up slowly and groggily, fumbling my hair into a messy bun. After washing my face, brushing my teeth and putting on some new sweatpants, I grabbed my keys and wallet and hopped in my car. Driving to Starbucks, (Or as I call It, 'Heaven packed into a single room.') is definitely more fun when you're doing so in a cute, red, Volkswagen Jetta.
When I returned, Megan was already there. "Hello, Claire." She said in an accusing tone.
"Hello, Megan." I mimicked her tone. "What brings you here today?" I asked in a mock haughty tone. She sighed in annoyance and raised her hands above her head, much like she did when she was fourteen. You see, Megan is my 17 year old sister that I love very much. Well, most of the time. "Whaat?" I exclaimed, exasperated.
"You really didn't remember your own birthday?" She said, looking almost horrified.
"Well of course I remembered, I just didn't want to do anything that's all." I said this while climbing the stairs to my bedroom, Megan following close on my heels. I figured my chances of running to my room, and locking the door before she could bother me anymore, was pretty slim. Sigh. I arrived at my bedroom,but before I could even set my hand on the handle, she threw her body in front of the door.
"Well it's going to be pretty hard to 'not do anything' with a living room full of people waiting to celebrate with you." She smiled mischievously.
"Megan, you didn't!!" I nearly screamed.
"Oh, but I did."
Megan presented me with her signature smirk, her dimple showing. "Now go in there and get ready. Here I got you something. Take it and don't argue with me young lady." She pushed a shopping bag into my hands and pushed me into the bedroom.
"You know I'm older than you right?" I called over my shoulder before heading into my bathroom to take a shower. After I dried my hair and applied some light makeup (I hate heavy makeup it makes me feel like I am wearing a mask.) I approached the shopping bag apprehensively. I was super excited but also a little scared. What if I didn't like it? I couldn't just not wear it, that would be super rude!
Quickly, I pulled off the blue tissue paper that was around the package, revealing a gorgeous, one shouldered, golden, sparkly ( like, glittery sparkles not sequins.) sheath dress. It came with a golden crown as well, of course. I was in love, and I couldn't wait to be wearing this awesome piece of clothing.
When I was finished with my hair I put on a pair of black wedges, and went to meet my sister who was lazing on my bed.

Hey guys! So I am back on to the wonderful world of Wattpad.
Unfortunately, My baby cousin accidentally deleted my entire other story, The Perfect Vacation and Stupidly I didnt have it backed up on anything.
So, school is out, I have a lot of time on my hands, andi figured i would work on this book. I totally revised this whole chapter, if you hadn't noticed. Next chapter should be up sometime today or tomorrow!
Thanks so much for reading!
