The Prince And The Bad Boy

2. Potato peels and night sky

I am in my bed watching the vampire diaries for the fifth time because I am in love with Damon Salvatore. If my husband is not Damon Salvatore then I am going to leave him after locking him in a public toilet that stinks.

I like spending time alone but it's not written in my destiny.

"I am here bitchas!" Yes, Tristy is here and she comes with a lot of energy.

"Matt's not here yet." I don't bother getting up from my bed for her.

"You're still a bitch." She jumps on the bed beside me and takes my chips. I just roll my eyes and focus on the screen of my laptop.

"Oh my god, Damon is such a daddy. Holy shit, look at him. His eyes, his lips, his smile, his body, even his ass." Tristy goes on and on. We share the same fictional crush! How uncool is that?

"Don't look at him. He's mine." I say with a fail attempt to protect Damon by covering the screen with my bare hands.
She just gives me a bored expression in return which clearly says she'll steal him from me. We hear Matt's car stopping in front of my house."He's here. Let's go." I hop off the bed and pick up my wallet and phone.

"I call shotgun" I shout while running downstairs, trying to attack on the car door before Tristy can. We jump in his car and start our shopping day with coffees Matt bought for us.

~~~~~~~~~~~

It's been an hour, my feet hurts and I need food, I am thirsty, my head aches. I think I am becoming a zombie. Shopping with Tristy can be difficult. We have been to so many stores and she hasn’t found even one dress that she likes or even close to like.

"Tristy, this is the last store. If you can't find a dress here, I am gonna have to make a dress for you with potato peels." I say almost collapsing at the entry of the store.

We get inside and look for dresses. I haven't bought a dress too cause there’s nothing that caught my eye. If I don’t find anything here too, I’ll just wear one of my mom’s gown then. But then I see a beautiful off-shoulder gown with sweetheart deep neck cut and long sleeves decorated with so much details on a dummy. It's torso is decorated same as it's sleeves which ends reaching the belly line from where a cream coloured soft cloth flows like a waterfall till it reaches the ground as a long skirt. It looks so angelic.

"Yellow light is shining around the gown." Tristy interrupts.

"Umm... You found something?" I turn around and ask, holding the dress in my hand.

"I have and luckily you too. That’s beautiful. Let's try these on." Tristy says while holding a purple long silk dress in her hands and points towards the dress I chose.

"Matty, come here. Your prayers have been answered. Come and hold our stuff while we try these on." She literally shouts in a store to call Matt who's collapsed on a chair near a window, his head lying on a dummy's arm.

We get into trial rooms and with much difficulty I fit myself in this complicated dress and when I look at myself in the mirror, it perfectly fits me. It looks so beautiful. I open the curtains of the changing room and Tristy does too at the same time. We both turn to look at each other and scream in joy while hugging. We love our dresses, it's for sure.

*Coughs*

"Umm girls? You both look wonderful. Now just please pay and then we can go get some food." Matty interrupts, not being interested in our happy perfect-dress-found hug.

"I agree with this helpless boy." I say while going back to wear my hoodie and jeans.

When we get to the cash counter, Tristy says "Guys it's a masquerade ball. We need our masks?"

There was a full shelf filled with masks near the cash counter. They were all so attractive and decorated so precisely.

There are three masks that I see which can go with my dress. I pick one mask decorated with white stones. It has cat eye cut and covers the cheekbones. I think it will be fine. I take it to the cash counter to pay the huge amount that I'll later regret.

"Ahhy bluueebbb phhhoyeedd" I am unable to speak because I am stuffing my mouth with large chicken cheese burger.

"Listen everybody, we have an alien among us." Tristy announces to the whole restaurant, standing on her chair and making a mic with the menu pamphlet.
Everybody gives us irritating looks and keeps on eating their food.

"I said, I love food, you moron." I say with a more clearer voice now.

"So Katty, we three are going as a group and we don't have dates for the ball but feel free to find yourself a date or a dance partner there. Same applies for you Matt." Tristy says trying to convince me. She doesn't want me to stay single anymore and I haven't been on a date since months.

"I would but if he doesn't know how to dance, I am going to leave a hole in his foot with my heel." I say eating a fry which also gave me a dangerous look.

"Okay okay" she and Matt both laughs.
"Let's go. I have some homework left." Matt says.

I sit on a couch that is below my window with a diary and a pencil in my hand, watching the night sky and stars twinkling and looking more beautiful than ever. When you look into infinity, you realise that there are more important things than what people do all day. Just by looking at the dark sky fills me with life and inspiration.

And then I start drawing.

I love drawing.
It's not like I want to be an artist. But drawing just for myself alone brings me peace. It helps me escape from the scars of my past. How difficult it was to live in the past. It also reminds me of how I've emerged as a new person after surviving those horrible years of life. It reminds me of how strong I've become and everything bad goes away with time and there is light at the end of the tunnel. You just need to be determined enough to follow that light until you touch the Sun.

I draw. I draw a scene of a happy child dancing under the stars at night and he doesn't have enough clothes to cover himself and he's starving and homeless but he is happy. He is living in the moment and getting happiness out of it. I want that too.
