Surviving High School

Chapter 13

Emma sat on her bed as Ruby fiddled with the curling iron.

The blonde was almost appalled when she found out what her two friends had been planning all week. They had completely planned out the birthday girl's outfit and hair, insisting that the blonde had no choice.

Emma rolled her eyes, "is this necessary?" She muttered in annoyance.

Ruby scowled, "yes, now shut up and let me finish your hair" she snapped.

Ruby had basically turned her blonde friend into her own little fashion project. The lanky brunette was taking the whole thing very seriously.

The blonde scoffed, "isn't this just like a small get together in Granny's?" She asked grinding her teeth together.

The brunette scowled, "yes, but you can't leave someone disappointed" she muttered.

Emma stared at the girl in confusion, "what's that supposed to mean?" She asked.

Ruby smirked at her friend but didn't respond.

They had planned that there would be a small get together in Granny's with their friendship group and their parents, but Emma couldn't help but speculate what they had planned.

"Not only that, Regina is somehow involved which makes me more nervous over what it is they have planned" Emma thought to herself.

The blonde figured that she wouldn't be able to get any more information out of the lanky brunette, so she just sat there and let the girl play makeover.

When Ruby was done she stood back and admired her work, "oh, I did well" she praised herself with a smirk.

Emma groaned, "are you sure I can't pick out my own clothes?" She almost pleaded in response.

The brunette smirked and shook her head, "nope, that's already been sorted" she said shooting me a wink.

The blonde groaned and threw her head back, "hey! Don't throw yourself back on the bed, you'll destroy my masterpiece" the brunette scolded her friend with a fierce scowl.

Emma put her hands up in mock surrender, "okay, okay. Keep your hair on" she snapped back playfully.

Ruby smiled, "okay, wait here and I'll go get the dress" she squeaked clapping her hands excitedly. The girl was like a child in a candy store.

The blonde's sea-green eyes widened, "what? Dress? I didn't agree to that!" She screeched.

The brunette giggled, "well, too bad. You agreed to let me do everything, now woman up" she said sticking her tongue out, "oh, and no looking until everything is finished" she snapped before bouncing out of the room.

Emma groaned and picked up her phone.

The girl quickly sent a text to Regina, "Hey, Ruby's not telling me anything. Could you give me a few hints on what's going on tonight? 😉"

The blonde silently waited for her reply. She already knew that the older woman wasn't going to give up anything, but it was worth a shot.

"Afraid not Miss Swan. Zelena and Ruby have specifically told me no matter how much you beg, I'm not allowed to tell you. 😉" She responded.

Emma frowned but quickly replied, "What if it's a life or death situation??"

The blonde laughed to herself as she waited for Regina's reply. Her phone vibrated just seconds later.

"Stop exaggerating, Em, it's not that bad"

Emma scoffed, "It kinda is!" She replied.

No further reply came after that.
