The Bet - One Year To Go.

Chapter 24

Maddie and I spent half of the night studying and we slept at about two in the morning. Grades have always been something that united us.

06:00, the alarm goes off and my friend who's still in a deep sleep doesn't even show signs of life. 'How to wake up Maddie?', I ask myself, knowing how much of a sleeper she is. I then spot a feather Maddie pasted on her bedroom door along with the rest of her 'DIY art masterpieces', as she calls them. I quickly make my way off the bed and tip toe to the closed door and grab the pink feather. I then head back to the bed and try my best to tickle Maddie with the feather on her face, nothing, she doesn't even move, I then move the feather to her ear and she just changes sides. "Really Maddie?", I say under my breath as I wait for her to drift back to sleep. About a minute late she's fast asleep, I've always been fascinated by how fast she falls asleep. I then locate the feather to her nose and wiggle it a few times, BINGO!

"I'm not doing it!", Maddie who's still half asleep jumps from her pillows and I quick hide the feather and give her an innocent smile . Her eyes are blood red and she's gives me a horrible look and I can't help but to burst into laughter and she just stares at me as the tears start falling down my face. She always looked weird when she woke up.

A few seconds later, my friend who's now fully awake joins my laughing fest and we all fall on the bed in amusement.

"I'm gonna get you for that Tiff", she jokingly warns me and I just shake my head in response.

"Let's get ready for school, big day today and don't forget we have a Davison party to attend later on!", Maddie says as we quickly make the bed.

"yeah, I forgot about that. Anyway wanna shower together like old times?", I ask her and she just nods and we both head to the ensuited bathroom in Maddie room, where we crashed last night.

-----
Our shower was quick and we even had a mini concert performance.

we quickly dry ourselves, brush our teeth and attempt to dry our hair using the same hairdryer at once, bad idea.

A few minutes later we're both prepared for the hectic day ahead of us. We quickly run over our notes while having rainbow cereal for breakfast. "Are you ready?", I ask Maddie as she chugs down the milk left in her bowl. "uh huh", she simply states as she wipes the milk off her upper lip. She then runs a quick wash over our bowls as I stare at myself in the long mirror at the end of the hallway.

My outfit is similar to Maddie's, we're wearing denim skirts with vans old skool sneakers and she's wearing a white shirt and I'm wearing a yellow one.

"I'm so excited about taking this boot off! ", I say as I move back to the kitchen. "Yeah it's beeeeen there for too long, I'm starting to think it's giving you bad luck, cause ever since you've had it on, your life as been filled with lotse of drama", she says ending her statement with a song, she's so dramatic.

I just roll my eyes as she starts to imitate the way I walk in this boot.  I can't help but to laugh at all her actions, she's totally exaggerating.

The kitchen clock reads 08:15, it's time for us to head to school. "We should get going, look at the time.", I notify Maddie and we inspect the house before leaving. We then quickly grab our bags, pray and head down stairs to the basement. 

School time.

As we pull over by the schools parking lot, Dioxy approaches us, 'some nerve she has.'

"If it isn't Tiffany and Madelyn", she says as Maddie and we come to a stop. "What do you want Dioxy.", Maddie asks and I just keep my mouth shut, I don't have the strength to deal with Dioxy right now. "Nothing, I was passing by and I thought it would be nice if you guys come to the party tonight, especially you Tiffany. I hear Coby has a special surprise for you.", she says with a huge smirk on her face.

"What is it to you? And besides we were coming anyway.", Maddie says with her arms crossed. "Nice, anyway bye best friends.", Dupido Deluxe as she would call herself says leaving us both puzzled.

"I wonder what that was about.", I say giving Maddie an uncertain look and she just shrugs in response. Dioxy is so destructive though, but I choose to ignore her or whatever she was saying.

"Attention all students, may all those who are writing the English literature test, head to the school hall immediately. The test is three hours long and you are to all start writing in ten minutes time. Good luck.", Our principle announces and we all hurry to school hall.

-----
"whooo, that was one long test.", I say as I leave the hall. At least one thing is now at the least of my worries, that test was a bit easy. I have only one thing left to worry about now - The Davison Party.  I still don't understand why Tyler would have a party at his house, seeing that he's not much of a party animal, but then again, I might be wrong.

The school day was fairly short, because it's a Friday. My friends and I gather up at the school gate to discuss tonight's arrangement, before going home to freshen up.

Funny enough, I didn't see Coby today, I might have, kind of missed him. He was probably too busy to notice me today.

As soon as Maddie and I make it to her apartment we head for the closest. " What to wear? What to wear?", Maddie says as she shuffles through the already messed up closet.

We finally pick out clothes to wear. I decide to go with a high waist black jean, a olive green crop top and a vintage jacket, I went for a feminine look rather than my normal tomboy look. Maddie on the other hand went all out, she went with a short denim dress, a yellow shirt and a pair of sandals, she looks so cute, like those tumbler girls.

Our multiple outfit changes took about two hours and we were left with just two hours to get ready.

Maddie heads to her bathroom and I also go to the one in the hallway.

"Okay  Tiff, time to have fun. Just go with the flow tonight, not too much though.", I say looking at my reflection on the bathroom mirror.

I immediately brush my teeth before taking off my boot, permanently this time. "Finally", I say smiling at my bootless foot. I then quickly run a nice shower for myself, the warm water untangles all my muscles and I'm left feeling refreshed for the rest of the night.

After about ten minutes, I exit my utopia and wrap a pink towel around my body. The cool breeze hits my slightly wet skin and goosebumps immediately creep all over my me.

After drying myself up and my hair, I slip on the outfit I picked out earlier on. "Fits like a glove.", I say to no one in particular, as I admire myself in the mirror.

"I must say, femininity does look good on you Tiff.", Maddie who's looks as stunning as ever , complements me with a huge smile on her face. "Yeah Yeah, don't get used to it.", I say, as I apply the final touches on my hair and makeup. "Done", I say as I tie my shoelace.

'It couldn't have felt better to have that boot off.', I mentally state before leaving the room, with all my valuables in my mini vintage bag pack.

I make a quick stop at the kitchen before following Maddie to the parking lot, I can't leave without having a little something to eat.

About five minutes later, my friend and I hit the road, looking like two models from seventeen magazine.
