Chapter #5: The Party

September, Saturday 10th, 2016

To Aquarius the next to periods took forever. So did the rest of the week. Everyday Justin drove her to school. She was so glad of this, she didn't want to ride on that crazy bus and one day end up in the ditch.

But today was Saturday. Party day, but it was at 5:00 pm. 2 more hours and she still doesn't know what to wear. A dress? Pants and a nice shirt? But she finally decided, after asking what her friends were wearing. She finally decided to wear a blue dress with an organza skirt. The top had two sparkly spirals going inward with some other sparkles around the dress. She picked some shoes that were blue and rounded toes. They had a bit of  height, but the heel was bigger around because she's afraid of braking her ankle if she wore skinny heels.

1 hour before the party and she still had to do her hair and make up. Also she wanted to brush her teeth. She did that first. Then her hair, and finally her make up.

She curled her hair and then put the ends up. For her make up she chose to put on eyelash stuff and eyeliner, as well as light blue eyelid make up.

She had 15 minutes to spear. But she didn't know if she was to bring something to the party.

"Why not." She thought.

She remembered she had some cookies and ice cream in the freezer. Aquarius decided to wait until she was ready to go to grab it.

10 minutes until the party and Aquarius had butterflies.

"Should I say that I can't go? No. I said I was going. Besides, it's going to be fun. I've heard that Justin had great party's."

5 minutes later and Aquarius thought she should start walking over there. She put on blue coat, grabbed the cookies and ice  cream, and left.

It took about 3 minutes to walk there, but it was a nice walk.

She walked up the drive and stopped in front of the door. She took a deep breath and knocked on the door. Justin opened it.

"Hey." He said.

"Hey. Um...I brought something."

Aquarius held up the bag of  treats.

"Oh. You didn't have to." He took the bag and looked in it.

He laughed.

"Come on in." Justin opened the door to let Aquarius in.

She walked in and looked around while Justin goes to the kitchen. It sort of looked like Aquarius's house. But the colour was different and some of the layout was different, like the way to the basement was in a different place.

"You ok?" Justin asked.

"Yeah." She said shyly.

"You look very nice."

"No I don't." She said lowering her head to look at her shoes.

Justin lifted her chin with his finger.

"Yes you do. Why do you say that you don't?"

"Because I don't. I'm not like Jessica. Pretty with her blond hair and blue eyes, and perfect skin."

"You got it wrong. It's not the outside that makes the person. It's the inside. The personality and the person is what counts." Justin takes Aquarius's hands. She looks at him and he looks at her.

"Hey! Is Aquarius here yet?" A male voice yelled from the basement.

Justin let go of Aquarius's hands and yelled back.
