As the clock strikes 4:00 I feel my stomach go kinda funny. It's like there's a movement, tangled up in a giant knot. The movement though feels soft and gentle like butterflies. I swear I was daydreaming the entire way home, I could've been killed way too many times. After tripping and almost falling flat on my face trying to go up the 2 steps to my door, I struggle to unlock it with my key. When the door swings open I go flying in like super man. I read the clock; 4:23. I have an hour to get ready and not turn into a nervous wreck. I quickly shower, dry my hair, and wash off the remains of my ruined makeup from work. As my face dries I curl my straight golden brown hair. I decide to spread a pea sized amount of moisturizer on my face. I walked out to the kitchen to get some water and of course chocolate to help calm my nerves, I see a familiar car parked in a driveway a few houses down the street. It's not usually there, but I have seen it before...OMG that's Shawn's car. Why is he here so early? I guess I shouldn't waste my half hour I have left. I go back to my room to finish getting ready. I dust my make up onto my face then blink until my eyelashes are just right covered in mascara. I slip on my silky long silver dress that I wore to my grade 8 graduation 9 years ago. I grab my natural pinkish coloured lipstick, precisely glide the tube across my lips, then grab some money, a small circular travel mirror, my phone, and my drivers license (just in case I'm asked for ID). I slip those into a small black pouch along with my lipstick and zip it up. I play with my hair one last time in the mirror before Shawn comes. At the back of my closet I dig out my sparkly silver heals to make me seem a little taller, since Shawn already is a foot taller than me. As my foot falls into the shoe and my toes go just past the edge I hear the doorbell. Honestly I'm pretty sure that's the first time I've ever heard that thing ring. I glance at my clock; 5:17. Once my shoes are secured on my feet i sound like a horse prancing because I'm trying to quickly answer the door. I open it without falling this time to Shawn patiently waiting on my porch. "You're here early." I tell him. "I wanted to make sure I gave a good first impression, since I'm trying to empress you." He replied. "Didn't I tell you earlier that you impressed me when you released stitches?" "Ok but that was different, I impressed a lot of people with it." I chuckle a bit, Shawn just smiles and blushes. "We should probably get going." He said, I've got big plans for us. I pick up my black clutch and my keys and lock the door behind me. The rest of the night everything is out of my control, I'm all Shawn's.
