Part I

Chapter Three

I decided to send a message to him, no matter is he gonna reply or not, I have no expectation for him. Bells said he doesn't like to read the text message, and even worse on replying them. He still didn't talk to me for another week, to be honest, I was a bit disappointed, when I got this off my mind, oh-oh damn it, my freaking heartbeat was again abnormal.

As night fell, the silky dark blue sky filled with stars, it brings back the life of the usual boring sky. The school dormitories should be quiet, but the chatting noise was loud and clear. Well, looks like the spring is coming, the annual spring ball at Hegus Institute began.

Girls in school have been preparing this grand ball for months. One day after school, the four of us decided to 'do homework' at the nearest cafe, the cafe which near us called Oli Cafe, a 14th-century European style building, with some places to sit at outside as well. When I walked toward them with a bunch of books holding in my arms, I saw every girl was doing some sketches in their notebook. What are they doing, not 'doing homework'?

"What are you planning to wear for the ball this year?"Takase delighted ask while sketching out her ideal dress again and again, "Obviously original design will be attractive and better... No??" Pa! A hand patted on the table, Ginger said seriously, "I think I'll design the dress by myself as well, otherwise, you'll fell embarrass of you find out you're wearing the same dress with other people, Moll, how about you? You're definitely gonna design one for yourself as well, yeah?"

So it's still better to make it by myself... I do hate to wear the same clothes as other people, I silently thinking about this. "Yeah... wearing the same dress with other do feel awkward..." I'm not sure how should I make a dress, but I still tell everyone some beautiful words for myself.

From " No Door" went back home, I began to focus on the dress. I didn't know what to do and how should I start?

So I went to the tailor of Fairyland, Mrs Fabrica, she lived in the largest cemetery banyan tree, second floor.
I have never been there, honestly, I never thought I would come here to search for help. Around the door aged vines, layer by layer, you can see from the top of the door some flowers fell, some fresh pink flowers blooming again. Pink fallen petals piled up the front door, I stood there hesitated, then I hear the footsteps.

"Girl, ah, you came for the help of your dress, did I get it right? You're already the two hundred and five who came for help, Mrs Fabrica become extremely busy during the ball period, but, cheer up girl! See you!" said the old papa gnome.

Finally decided to knock on the door, then it just opened. "Is anyone home?" I asked cautiously. No one responded, then I heard a huge crush noise from upstairs. Bump! Bo! I ran upstairs without thinking, to the tree-root stairs, and the loft goes the treehouse turned to belong, with a small window which light could penetrate, a bundle of clothes stacked around the attic. The dust fog all around, few seconds past the sight gradually clear so I can see vaguely cloths lady underneath a few bundles of clothes, I quickly squish underneath into that messy area to get the petite lady. Compare to her height, this place already enough for her.

"Why? Little girl, why did you choose to come to see me at this time? I got shocked when you knocked the door, then the clothes all fell on me, I'm extremely busy, you must know the spring ball is coming, and I still have tones of orders need to be finished!" Mrs Fabrica rubbed her bruised waist and said.

" I would like you to teach me how to make a dress..." I asked. "Well, I just told you that I'm very busy, now, off you go!!" she waved her hand toward the exit way. "I'm willing to make a deal with you as long as you can teach me to do it!" I said something which I shouldn't say. Deal with the fairy, on the 'Don't do' list number one. Mrs Fabrica raised an eyebrow on one side, seemingly arousing her interest and saying, "Ok! I'll take this one, but what would you give me?" I hesitated for a moment then said, "A part of my hair." "Oh...Interesting, fairy's hair is very powerful, um...Deal!" Mrs Fabrica said, "I'm looking forward to your progress, come to my tree house every day after school, I'll teach you from the very basic."

I thanked Mrs Fabrica and asked her what should I prepared, she gave me a list.
I met a man on the way back, and he was fallen asleep next to the tree. Malus?! Why is he here in Fairyland? I'm anxious thinking that he made my mood so horrible in the past few weeks. Even though I'm mad at him, I still took off my coat to cove him. He wouldn't know it's mine, right? I feel a bit excited.

Walking to the buy my essentials for my dress, I passed the garden, blooming roses are so beautiful, which reminds me of our last conversation here. As I walked into the store, I started to grab the things that I need, few giant flower petals, the scales of ice dragons and some of my favourite fabrics, according to the list given by Mrs Fabrica. When I was looking through the fabrics on the store, I saw a light purple slightly shiny cloth, I thought that's what I want.

The passing day after days of training and efforts, eventually I finished my dress. "My gosh! You look so beautiful today! Oh, wait, since when you have a tattoo on your right should?" Takes said in surprise with her gorgeous light- orange gown. "Thank you! And that's my birthmark" I responded. "I thought you planned to put on a linen sack, but here you go! Well done!" I do enjoy the way that Ginger speaks. She's wearing a dark blue long dress which totally marks out her body shape.

It's clear to see that everyone mad their clothing by themselves, I'm proud of my work and the effort I put in. When everyone is here, we led the teachers in, the music started. Every girl seated and waited for a gut to invite her to a dance, obviously, all of my friends got taken in 2 minutes. When the dance started, I went to the food area to get myself some food then back to my seat to 'enjoy' the food. Takase reminds me that Malus will be here tonight, I just about to start eating. I wanted to tell him my feeling if he would be here tonight, now he's here. I start looking for him after I finished my food. He's interesting into this crowed ball? or he has someone that he... No... Couldn't be... Or he went into a fight again? Like last time I saw his scare on the face. Just as I walked and thought, I came to the garden unconsciously and walked into the garden again. Never mind, as I'm already here why not it in this comfortable huge swing? Swing one after the other, one after the other, the wind gently brush over my face with flower scent, I closed my eyes and take a deep breath, as if the time is still the same.
