The Worst Of Luck

Chapter eight

"He's beta." Emily said, breaking a piece of chocolate off her candy bar, and popping it in her mouth. "I'm sorry. He what now?" I asked, after recovering from chocking on my chocolate in shock. "He's. Beta." She said, slowing it down for me. "Why didn't you tell me your brother was beta?" i asked smacking her on the arm. "I didn't think it was relevant. Any who, there is a ball. For the two year annaversery of Vincent becoming alpha. Oh, and it's tomorrow," she said looking away. "Tomorrow? I don't have anything to wear," I said turning to look into my closest that was full of casual clothing. "I was gonna let you wear one of my dresses." I don't know if I'm up for a ball tomorrow and - "wait. What about Aidan? I can't go, it's too late notice." I said sighing. I can't leave Aidan here and I can't get a babysitter. "Leave him with the pack. All the pups are gonna have a movie night. He'll have fun." She said. "Okay. But if something happens I'll kill you." I said casually, but sternly so she knew I meant business. After that Emily left, and I went to bed. Aidan had already fell asleep about an hour ago, so I could just lay down and get some shut eye.

I woke up to the sound of my stupid alarm blaring in my ear. Groaning, I rolled over and grabbed my phone off the nightstand where it was currently placed. 11:30. I love sleeping in. I did some nonhuman looking stretch, before getting up to see what everyone was up too. Aidan was sitting on the couch watching cartoons, Emily was eating something, and her parents were probably out or still sleeping. "Oh good you're up! We have preparations to be making for the ball tonight!" Emily squealed, before shooing me back into the bedroom I just left. "Okay, you have an hour to lounge around, then at 12 you better have ur butt in that shower, you have exactly thirty minutes to shower, then at 12:30 your blow dry your hair, eat something, and do whatever, then at 1:30 we start doing our hair, hopefully we'll be done by 3:00 and then we start makeup, and probably be done at 5:00, then we get dressed, leave the house at six, drop Aidan off, and make it to the ball for 7:00. Sounds good? Great. Now plan starts now!" She yelled, too loud for someone who just got up, and then ran off somewhere muttering something about face masks. I swear, I have the strangest best friend. I decided to make myself a bowl of cereal, and then sat down to watch Spongebob with Aidan.

I was on my phone, scrolling through Instagram and nonsense, when Emily ran in. "It's 12:05! We're gonna be late. Your five minutes off schedule. Go! Go!" She said jumping up and down, while pointing to the shower. I just stared at her. In shock. She sighed before running over, grabbing my arm, and pushing me into the bathroom.

I stripped down, put a playlist on of some good songs, and hopped in the shower. The warm water instantly relaxing me. I shampooed, conditioned, and washed my body with some vanilla scented soap. Emily bashed on the door saying something about how I have 5 minutes. So sadly, I turned off the shower, and threw on my towel. After brushing my hair, teeth, and putting on some lotion, I left the bathroom to change into some sweats. After I was dressed, I went back Into the bathroom, and dried my hair. At around 1:00 I finished drying my hair, and Emily got into the bathroom to get ready.
I played some games with Aidan, and made him some lunch, while listening to some music over the radio. All was good, before Emily ran into the kitchen with her towel on, telling me we had to start our hair in 15 mins, and then ran back to dry her own hair. "She's nuts," Aidan muttered before taking a bite of his peanut butter and jam sandwich. I laughed and nodded my head in agreement. I couldn't of said it any better.
I decided on curling my hair for the ball, considering I didn't know how fancy the occasion was.

At 1:30 we started hair, while Aidan sat on the bed with my laptop, watching some sponge bob on Netflix. Emily was gonna do a half up half down look. She showed me a picture off Pinterest, and if she could nail it down, it'll be really pretty. I began sectioning my hair off, and curling parts of it. Another reason I picked curling my hair, it took less effort.
