7. The Distraction

It was 6:30 Lincoln and Nick were going to pick us up at 7:00
Crystal was freaking out over nothing.

"Ahhhh!!!"

"What happened!" I said running into her room almost tripping over all the clothes that were on her floor.

"Where is it where is it!!!" Crystal yelled, picking threw all of her clothes that were in the drawer.

"Where's what your already dressed!" I yelled threw all her screaming.

"My necklace! The one my dad gave me it's gone!!"

"You mean the one around your neck!?" I asked already I was irritated.

"No the... Oh.. There it is" she said looking in the mirror.
I sighed.
I went back into my room to get ready when I heard another scream.

"What now!!" I said, I walked into Crystal's room and half the clothes on the floor were burnt to a crisp Crystal's necklace was on the floor shattered into a million pieces and her dress was ripped and burnt on the bottom.

"What happened?"

"I told you I can't control it" Crystal said almost crying.
I ran over to her and stopped her from crying.

"I'm going to fix all of this" I said to her to calm her down.

"How! The boys will be her in 20 minutes"

"Just trust me I know what I'm doing"

In 10 minutes I had Crystal in my dress and necklace and my new boots as well, she looked beautiful and just like her mother.

"What about you? You only have 10 minutes to get ready" she said concerned.

"You go down stairs and distract them when they get here I'll be right down" I said grabbing some make up and putting it on Crystal.
She ran down stairs and waited for them when I had to figure out what to wear for the first dance I've ever had.

(This is Crystal talking)

I ran down stairs to distract the boys when they came, I couldn't believe that my newest friend did all this for me! I couldn't believe that my newest friend was going to finish herself in 5 minutes!

Just then the door bell rang I was terrified and it wasn't because I didn't know who Beatrice's date was, and it wasn't because Stark towers was so big! It was because I was afraid my newest friend wasn't going to come with us if she didn't hurry!
I answered the door and it was Nick no one else.

"Thank goodness" I said quietly.

"What?" He asked

"Nothing! Come on in!" I said nervous as nervous Nelly if that's a person.
He walked in and gave me a corsage, at first I didn't even know he was handing it to me I was looking at the ceiling, hoping to hear foot steps of someone coming down stairs.

"Um.. Crystal" he said looking at the ceiling then back at me.

"What?... Oh! right! thank you" I said taking the corsage and putting it on, I looked back at the ceiling.
