When my alarm goes off at six thirty, I almost let it go to snooze and skip because I'm so exausted, but I know I can't mess up my school record already.

Before I can open my eyes and shut off the alarm, I hear the snooze button click and it shuts off. I freeze and tense up wondering who the fuck is in my apartment. Then it hits me. I remember everything from the party news at the falls to being shot and running with Ash, all at once, so fast it hurts my head.

I crack open my eyes and sit up rubbing my face yawning.

"Good, your awake, you slept through three alarms. You need to get ready for school."

I groan,

"I dont want to..."

I hear him laugh,

"You have to, get up lets go, I'll be waiting outside."

The door opens and he leaves shutting it behind him. I stretch and kick the blankets off standing up. I wince slightly when I put weight on my leg for the first time, but since I heal faster than a human its probably just sore.

I change into my evanescence t-shirt, some black skinny jeans, and my black vans. I brush my hair and put it right back up in a bun, brush my teeth, and put on a little eyeliner. I grab my phone and my bag and rush out the door running late.

We walk quickly to school only missing the first bell by seconds, but thankfully the teachers dont care.

The closer we are to the end of the day the more excited I get about the party.... By lunch, most conversations are about the party, but yet I still can't figure out where its going to be, and the guys still wont tell me.

By the end of the day, I'm no longer tired, but practically running home.... For two reasons really, one being obviously the party, and two being I'm a little wary that the hunters might still be around. I'm hoping that I'm just being paranoid though.

Once I get home, I dig out my dress from the closet, my leggings and my boots as well. I take a quick shower and throw on a t-shirt and shorts, I'll get dressed after doing make-up, hair, and nails with the girls so I dont get anything on the dress. My phone chimes with incoming texts from the girls saying they're on their way, and from Ash reminding me to be ready by sunset.

I unlock the front door and the girls come rushing in minutes later nearly breathless. Me and Liz sit Angel down on a stool in my bathroom and we start....

I'm doing Angel's make-up while Liz paints her nails a dark shade of blue. Once thats done, I pin her bangs to the back with a sapphire blue rose clip that I've had forever. Blue roses are my favorite flower. Before we let her see herself in the mirror, I run over to my dresser and rummage through them coming up with a metallic blue tank top with a black lace flower design on the side and a pair of dark skinny jeans that'll probably fit her. I find a pair of black strappy heels to finish off the look and give it all to her.

When she comes out after changing and we let her see herself, she almost starts crying and ruining my makeup job. I scold,

"None of that crying nonsense, you'll ruin my make-up job, you look great!"

"Oh yeah, sorry, I dont know if I can pull this off.... it's more you guys style."

Liz says, "No way, you look totally hot right now, look out boys Angel's coming to town."

We all laugh then me and Liz start getting ready as sunset comes closer. Liz paints my nails black while Angel takes down my hair. They both stare in amazement at my normally curly hair as if they'd never seen a flat iron before. I laugh,
