A Summer To Remember

Rage

Chapter 4

"Ding dong!" Nancy popped her head at my bedroom door. She went directly to my closet and hanged the costumes and turned to me with an evil glint in her eyes. "Now... let's make you pretty!"

And so, Nancy's endless torture began. She began to poke and probe my face with different instruments that I don't even want to know the evil creatures. She applied lots of stuff into my face and I'm just hoping that I don't look like a drag queen for this night. I really don't want to freak him out. Nancy faced me opposite of the mirror so I couldn't see myself and because she wanted the big reveal. After what felt like hours of torture with make up brushes and sponges, she was done. Finally.

I turned around and my jaw just went slack. This is so cliché, but I looked beautiful. My make up was simple and elegant and very natural looking. The light pink shadows on my lids made my eyes pop! My eyelashes were long yet it doesn't look dragqueen-ish. The blush on my cheeks were minimal cause I would probably blush all by myself, but it made me look like I have strong cheek bones. Lastly, my lips... It was a pinkish tint color that was glossy and smelled like strawberries. Greg's favorite... My hair was like soft beach waves cascading down my back. I was in a white fitted crop top and pink floral printed jeans. I got my favorite shoes out, my simple black Vans.

I looked at Nancy and just stared at her with wide eyes. She's like my very own fairy godmother, though she isn't fat and isn't wearing a big blue cloak.

"Mia, I need the desi- Oh my gosh, you look beautiful!" Roxanne barged in.

"This is all Nancy's magic." I held up my hands as a surrender sign.

"Well, you gotta look at least hot for this date." Nancy said.

"What date?" Roxanne looked at us, confused.

"Well, you remember how I told you that Greg was being an asshole?" She nods.

"I planned out a brilliant plan to make him beg on his knees!" Nancy jumped beside me, clapping and smiling, like this was the most fun thing ever.

"Well, what's the plan?" Roxanne leaned in.

"Mia's going on a date tonight. But it's not with Greg." Roxanne gasped, but nodded her to go on. "I know that Greg is the jealous type, so is Mia, but Mia's too loyal and sweet to do anything about it so when she has had enough, she agreed to go out with a guy who totally has a thing for her-"

"Mitchell does not have a thing for me!" I interrupted, but Mia still continued.

"Anyway, they're going to the Ice Cream House where Greg works at and because Mr. Bailey is very strict, he can't do anything about while he's on shift. This will drive him nuts! Especially because he's sexually frustrated and a-"

"Nancy!" I gave her a pointed look which she just rolled her eyes at.

"Oh, don't worry, dears, I was young once! I know how its like." Roxanne turned to me. "Give him hell, sweetie." She then kissed both my cheeks and scooted right out of the door.

"Well, she's freaking awesome!" Nancy exploded after a while.

She is.

"C'mon, you'll meet Mitchell in 5 minutes." Suddenly, the nerves kicked in. Am I really doing this? said my conscience. Yes, my inner demon snides. How could I do this to him?, my conscience asked. Well, he needs to know how it feels like, inner demon answered. Could I torture him like this?, conscience asked again. For god's sake, YES! my inner demon exploded.

Woah, internal battle inside me gives me whiplash. I shook my head to clear it out.

I can do this. I can. I will do this.
