Too Soon??

Chapter 2

When I woke up the next morning, I was drenched in sweat. I'm not sure if it was from a dream I didn't remember, or how nervous I was for the party that night. 

"IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY!! HOORAY!! IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY!!! HOORAY!!!" A bundle of energy rocketed onto my bed, sending me straight up and onto the floor. 

"Owww...." I groaned, rubbing my back. "What was that for??" Faye jumped off the bed and pulled me up. 

"Come on, Capri!! It's your birthday!! You're turning 17!! It's time to PARTY!!" I walked into the bathroom, running sleep out of my eyes. 

"I don't even know what to wear..." I trailed off, going through my dresses. Faye, however, wasn't going to hear about it. She grabbed my forearm and pulled me out of the closet. 

"Close your eyes," said Faye. I did as she said, confused. I heard Faye pulling something out, and rustling of something bigger. After about a minute, it stopped.

"Okay. Ready? And....open!" I opened my eyes. In one hand, Faye was holding a beautiful ice blue dress that was so going to bring out my eyes. In the other hand, a pair of white flats that matched the dress perfectly. 

"Faye...i don't know what to say! They're beautiful!! Thanks!!" Faye shoved the shoes and dress into my arms and pushed me back into the bathroom. 

"Come on, Capri! Let's get school over and the party started!"
