Today is the day I have a date with Hayden.
Lori and Joanna inform me that they are coming over to mine after school to, I quote, help me dress and look damn sexy. At their response I just sighed and gave in, I doubt they would ever let me down if they didn’t get to do all of my makeup.
When I walk up to our table at lunch Lori and Joanna quickly shut a magazine and start to giggle, I narrow my eyes and attempt the snatch the magazine off them. Lori grabs in and hides it under the stable, she shakes her head and grins at me “Naughty naughty. You aren’t meant to see what we have planned for you tonight...”
I purse my lips and sigh, then sit on the seat “So what can I expect tonight?”
Joanna smiles gleefully “Nope. We aren’t going to spill anything, it will all be a surprise you both you and Hayden.”
“Oh joy,” I say sarcastically “I look forward to it already,” I roll my eyes and steal a chip off Lori, she scowls for a moment but giggles as I eat it.
“Well. Anyway, we’re coming over after school and looking at your wardrobe, after that its hair then makeup. Then, you should be ready to go.” beams Joanna.
The rest of the day passes quite fast, and I’m steadily getting more nervous about the date with Hayden. I’ve never been on a date, or had a boyfriend. Heck, the only kiss I’ve ever had was at a drunken party back in England, and that hardly meant anything.
When the bell rings, signalling the end of the last lesson, I leave the room and walk along the hallway. Joanna suddenly appears at my side, and starts guiding me towards her car; already there, waiting, is Lori. She grins and claps, they push me into the backseat of Joanna’s car and the girls jump into the front.
“Drive woman!” shouts Lori.
Joanna grins and shoots out of the car park, fortunately they both already know where I live, so they won’t have to rely on me for instructions. On the way to mine, I see Lori sneaks a few peaks in my direction, she smiles evilly and I suddenly become worried about what they have planned.
Never mind about the Hunters, I think I’m about to be killed by my two best friends!
When we pull up outside my house, Joanna latches onto my arm and drags me inside, I see my mum as they push me up the stairs, Lori smiles and waves to her “Hi Mrs. Talabi!”
Mum looks confused for a moment, she looks to me and I give her a worried smile, she smiles back and shakes her head, walking out of the room. What a great help she is...
I tell Joanna and Lori which is my room and they push me inside and sit me on the bed, Lori looks around my room and grins when she sees my wardrobe. She stalks towards it and rifles through it, looking for suitable dating clothing, she frowns a couple of times as she looks at my shorts and skirts collection, which to be honest isn’t very big. Joanna walks around my room and inspects it, I suddenly feel self conscious of my things laying strewn across the floor and my bed, my room is by no means tidy.
“Aha!” shouts Lori in success, she pulls out of my wardrobe a pair of deep green skinny jeans, she waggles her eyebrows and holds them up to me “You will be sexy in these!”
I grimace, I haven’t worn those jeans in years, I’ve no idea if they still fit me, mind you, I haven’t really grown much since I brought them. Joanna snatches them from Lori and throws them at me “Put them on,” She orders, I roll my eyes and quickly run into my bathroom, I slip the jeans on. I gaze towards my feet and see they fit perfectly now, if a little on the small side around my thighs and waist. Maybe I’m getting fat? Although, I have never met a fat witch, maybe I’m going to be in the minority. Great.
Lori’s fist pounds against the door and interrupts me from my thoughts “Come on, Pip!”
I unlock the door and give an expectant Lori and Joanna a quick twirl for effect, Joanna flashes me a smile “Perfect, now we need a top, makeup and hair!”
“Wait!” I fold my arms and scowl “I thought you promised no make over’s unless I don’t get a date for prom?” as special as going on a date made me feel, I really didn’t like the idea of seeing hair tongs. Not after I burnt myself of them when I was eleven, I involuntary shiver.
“This is hardly a makeover,” Joanna rolls her eyes and grins, wielding the curling tongs like a weapon “Now sit while Lori finds you a top to wear. We have a long job ahead of us today,” she winks and pushes me into my seat, I cringe as the tongs come close to my face but the torture finishes without me being burnt, I let myself have a sigh of relief before Lori shoves a blouse into my hands and tells me to put it on, I purse my lips and give in to anything their asking, hopefully if I agree then it will go faster and I can get away.
I sit back into the chair and close my eyes as Lori applies all sorts of make up to my face, I’m sure by the end of the torture I won’t be happy with how I look, but I don’t really get a choice with Lori and Joanna.
I mentally sigh and wait for Lori to finish.
After the makeover, Lori takes her hands away from my eyes “Tah da!” she squeals. I stare at myself in the mirror, my long black hair is curled into ringlet that comes to just below my shoulders, and my skin looks pale and flawless. My eyes look huge, around them my lashes look thick and dark, and my blue eyes are surrounded by a layer of eyeliner, making them literally pop. I stare at myself for a few more seconds, waiting for the real me to suddenly appear out of thin air.
“Pippa like?” giggles Joanna, I turn to her and smile.
“Strangely... yes I do.”
Lori and Joanna high five each other and are about to hug when the doorbell rings. They grin at each other “Hayden’s here!”
Grabbing me the push me out of my bedroom and give me a quick wave “Good luck babe! Remember no sex on the first date!” shouts Joanna.
Lori laughs as my bedroom door shuts behind me, I sigh and walk down the stairs, when I get to the bottom I see Hayden in chinos and a shirt, he’s talking to mum. When he sees me he stops talking and his eyes widen a fraction. “Uh, hey Brit.”
I smile “Hi, shall we go?”
My mum smiles at me and winks, I widen my eyes in warning but she only smiles Have fun she says in my mind
I will do mum, don’t worry! I reply.
And so I go on my first date.
