Life is Hard

Chapter 7

Maggie's POV

I walk upstairs towards my room, checking my phone. There was one text, it was from Noel. I darted towards my room and slammed my door shut. I rolled onto my bed and started to read Noel's text.

Remember, 7:30. Be ready, and gorgeous. He had said.

Awwwww. I thought to myself.

I looked through my closet for a dress. I found one. It set just above my knees. The neck line was straight across. It was a light pink. It was covered in scrunches. On the bust it scrunched towards the middle.

Perfect. I said pulling it out of my closet.

I threw it onto my bed and dug for my black, All-Star converse. I found them after 5 minutes of searching.

Now I need at do my hair and makeup. I said to myself.

I ran into my bathroom. I locked the doors so no one could come in. I plugged in the curling iron and pulled out all my makeup. The curling iron was done heating up. I brushed my hair and curled it into lose curls. I put on black eye-liner and mascara, dark grey eye-shadow and a pinky-peach blush. I sprayed hair spray and slowly opened the door to bolt for my room. The coast was clear, I darted towards my room, trying not to mess up my hair.

"Uhhhh." I sighed, closing my door.

I picked up my phone. It was 6:45, 15 minutes until 7, 45 minutes until I get to see my "man" Noel. I got dressed and put on low rise socks. I took a seat next to Henry and changed my laces in my shoes. Instead of purple I put in the normal laces, white. It took me 15 minutes to put my laces in. 30 more minutes until he picks me up. I put on my shoes and looked out my window. The sun was setting and the noise got quieter. I walked over to the mirror and took a picture. I sent it to Laura and Rue.

Me: "Getting ready to head to a party.... with Noel ;)"

L: "Awwwww. You guys will be cute."

R: "You look good Maggie."

L: "Why did you call her Maggie?"

Me: "Yeah why?"

I plopped down on my bed and messed with my hair.

R: "Because I can."

Me: "God Rue!"

L: "Whatever."

Me: "I gtg soon, 10 more minutes!!"

L: "Byeeeeeee!! Have fun! ;) :) :* <3"

R: "Bye."

I texted Noel.

Me: "I'm ready ;)"

N: "Ok, I'll be there soon."

Me: "I'll be waiting."

I searched for a handbag so I could carry my phone. It was coral and it had a skinny strap. I threw it over my shoulder.

N: "I'm here."

Me: "Ok. I'll be right down."

I opened my door and quietly walked down the stairs. I looked around, my parents were in the living room, the TV was extremely loud, I could make it past. I tip-toed to the door, I slowly opened it and shut it with a click. I ran to the dark blue Jeep Wrangler that sat outside my house. I saw a dark shadow hop out of the car, slide across the hood and open my door.

"My lady."

He held out his hand for me to take it. I took his hand and he helped me into the car.

"Thanks." I smiled.

"No problem." He said shutting my door.

He slid across the hood once again and hopped into the car. I had my hand on the counsel. He put the car into gear. He grabbed my hand and held it. He looked me in the eyes, smiled, and took off.
