The Good Bad Boy

Dress

Me and Caroline sit in the seamstresses shop waiting for the dress. I've been avoiding Daniel since our talk. I don't deny that I think he is attractive, I never have but I don't like him. I can't. I refuse to.

"You and Daniel seem different, albeit I don't see Daniel much, but has something happened to the two of you?" Caroline asks.

"We're fine Caroline, we're just not talking much." I say.

"Since I first heard of you I thought you and Daniel would be great together. This avoiding each other seems to be taking over you two. You both look half dead." She says.

"We're teenagers, we are probably just tired." I say, she is about to say something but the seamstress comes with the dress.

I go to the changing room and I put it on. It fits like a glove. The waist pulls a little but gives me a beautiful hourglass shape. The seamstress comes in and puts on the accessories and does my hair.

"Come out, I want to see it." Caroline says. I slip on the cream heals and walk out. I step on the stand thing and I hear Caroline gasp.

"You look beautiful." She says. I smile and I look in the large mirror.

I stare at myself and I smile more. I look like a woman in some of my older books, my hair adds to this. I e always wanted to look like this.

I get changed and we take the dress home. My mind wonders to Daniel. How is he? I bite my tongue. I can't care.

We walk inside and I weave through the people getting ready for tomorrow. I pick up a book from the library and I start reading in my room.

I smell Daniel smoking and I close my windows. Soon after I hear him play the guitar and I grunt. Asshole. I walk through the attic gym and I go to the small private room.

I finally get to read, but this time it's different. Usually I get immersed in the book. Most of the time I start reading after school and before I know it it's half past four in the morning and I'm on the ties book of the trilogy. This time I can't. Daniel keeps popping into my head. I sigh. Stop it Amy, it won't happen.

I go back to my room, have a shower and go to sleep.

The next morning Caroline wakes me up.

"Wake up sweetie. Big day ahead. We've all had a long sleep, it's almost twelve so we have to get ready, your timetable is on your desk and your dress is hanging on your wardrobe." She says as she opens curtains. I sit up and she leaves. I go to my desk and I read the time table.

12:00 bath

13:00 breakfast

13:30 meeting with Caroline (with lunch)

16:00 hair and makeup

17:00 dress and adjustments.

17:30 party start.

Caroline has planned this well. I wonder what we are doing that will take so long. I shrug and complete phase 1. I brush my hair and put it in a messy bun. I exfoliate my face and I put on an oversized star wars t-shirt and black shorts.

At exactly 13:00 I go downstairs and see a large breakfast waiting for me. There is another plate next to it. I sit and start eating. After a minute or two Daniel comes down and sits. Caroline must have planned this.

"Morning." I say. I can't avoid him now.

"Morning." He says back.
