With both my hands widely open in the air,I turn around myself and inhale the scent of the perfectly clear blue ocean,so clear that I could see tiny colourful fish swimming around mangroves.The sun was warm and my bare feet could feel the sand running through my toes as the foam waves come and go.I turn around faster and raise my hands higher while admiring the reflection of the birds freely flying in the sky on both my skinny tanned hands.I was amazed by how electric the air made me feel just by spreading my long brunette hair all over the place.I turn around more and more because I enjoyed the feeling of the breeze rushing through my legs as it blew up my short red wet summer dress. I keep breathing in the fresh air more and more like it's my first time ever to breathe.
"YOU'RE STILL NOT READY YET? WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING FOR THE PAST 2 HOURS TULIP". oh well if it isn't my mom walking in to my room and interrupting my hopes and dreams who else would it be?
My mother's angry voice brought me back to reality and I can tell she's not even ready as well because she smells like she's still in her pj's, it didn't even take her two seconds to grab something from my room and leave.. I wonder what did she grab though
I sigh and open my eyes and of course everything was dark again... Did she really have to come in now? I was getting away to the only place where I can see anything other than total blank, my safe haven or more likely a universe that I've built in my own head out of my imagination. I'm too dizzy from turning around my room while fantasising I was somewhere else but god it felt so real inside my head, it felt as if I was exactly there and I was seeing everything around me, man I can still feel the warm sun against my skin.. I tie my hair in a bun and silently lay down on bed with the undies that I've been wearing for the past two hours...part of me is pissed at my mom for ruining my moment. She comes in again in a hurry and opens my two door closet which barely carries all my stuff and starts hunting for Sally's wedding party "fancy dress". It's very ironic how I have no idea how the hell does this dress even look on me or if it even suits me but I just trust my mother's taste anyway.Sally is my mother's childhood best-friend's daughter, and Sally's wedding is something they've been both planning for the past 3 months or something. But the thing is, Sally and I don't even stand each other because 1 she always treated me like I'm some sort of handicap that needs saving 2 she thinks rock music is pathetic, and honestly I don't feel comfortable around people who call my favorite genre "pathetic" because music is my second escape after my imagination, also I'm pretty sure that I'm the last person she wants to see attending her "big day" after I criticized the idea of her getting married at the age of 23 in front of her mother, she might've heard me say that I only think she's marrying Sebastian because he's hot and rich but I couldn't care less if she did anyway..
"Why can't I just stay at home and invite Jasmine over mom pleaseeee?" ,I said to my mom while trying to sweet talk her into not going.
"You in that dress NOW", said my as she walks out of my room.
Apparently there was no escape from Sally's wedding so I decided to call Jasmine to come with because I'm not planning on facing all this torture by myself. I reached out for my phone by sensing my soft satin bed sheets with both my hands, and when I finally find it I scream at siri to dial Jasmine's number,I think siri is my second best-friend after her. And of course Jasmine didn't pick up her phone from the first call because 1 she's too busy flirting with her brand new set of "boyfriends" 2 watching make-up youtube tutorials 3 making out maybe? But after five attempts of calling her majesty finally answered.
"How are Regina George's "big day" preparations going please tell me the dress suddenly doesn't fit you and your mother is freaking out", Jasmine said mockingly.
