The rest of the week goes by slow, painfully slow. The universe is punishing me for what i'm about to do. Its prolonging time so I can really sit there and think about my future actions. It's no use though, Saturday morning creeps up, and i'm still set for my end goal: go to the party, have ONE drink, and go home. Oh yeah, and try not to get thrown up on.
I head to the living room, where my mom and dad are cuddling on the couch watching some sort of lifetime movie.
"Mother, Father. I have something to say." I announce breaking their concentration.
"Yes dear, What is it," My dad says smiling
"Why are you talking like that?" My mom says, not smiling.
"Well, theres a party tonight, and I will be going."
"Oh really? Whose party? My mom says suspiciously
"Tyler's."
"And who else is going, is your brother going?" My dad says a little to concerned.
"Yes. Yes he is."
"AIYDANNNN!" my mom yells for my twin.
He walks in confused. "What?"
"Is there a party at Tyler's tonight?" My mom asks
"Yeah, Why?"
"Your sister said she will be going, are you aware?"
"Yes mom, Im taking her, and bringing her right back, unless she gets roofied," he says laughing
"AIYDAN," I yell
"What, its a joke! She will be fine guy's don't worry, and don't wait up for us, she's coming home whenever I come home, even if she has to sit there all day bored," he says sticking his tongue at me as he walks away.
"Okay then. You know the rules," My dad says
"Yes dad, no drinking, no smoking, no dancing, no talking, no sexing, no kissing, no touching, no breathing. Did I get it all?"
"When did you become so funny Amelia, were you always this comedic?" My dad says laughing.
"No, she's just dramatic and rude," My mother snipes. "Show me you're outfit before you leave tonight,"
"Sureeeeeee, no problem," I roll my eyes and walk away.
I do a little studying, and watch a rom-com on Netflix. I must have fallen asleep, because when I wake up its 6:30 p.m. already. I groan to myself, and climb out of bed. I tie my hair up and head into the shower. I shave my armpits, and quickly shave my legs? I could have skipped this step. It's not like anybody's touching me tonight. After i'm done showering its already 7:15. I have to be ready by 8:30.
I head over to my vanity, and stare. "We have a lot of work to do my friend" I say to myself. I quickly pick up my foundation and get to work. After 30 minutes, I pat myself on the back for making myself look human. I love putting makeup on. It makes me feel so good. I watched makeup tutorials on youtube since I was 13, so I picked up a thing or two.
After I'm done with my makeup, I untie my hair and let it fall. Maybe I should try curling it today? I pick up the curler, and start curling, trying not to burn myself. When i'm done i'm satisfied with my work.
Finally, I have to pick a decoy outfit. I look in my closet, trying to find the easiest outfit to take off. I grab my long ribbed, body con dress. Perfect. I throw it on with a jeans jacket and head out of my room checking the time. 8:30 on the dot. I left my party clothes in the car, so my mom doesn't get suspicious. I head over to the kitchen where my brother and mom are waiting for me.
"Are you finally done?" My brother says
"I'm right on time loser, don't start with me." I say back annoyed
"You look nice Lia," My mom says. If only she knew.
"Thanks, can we go now," I say to my brother
We walk out the door and head into the car.
"Pull over on the corner of the block, I have to change real quick," I tell my brother
"What? No. In your dreams," He responds.
"Why do you have to be so difficult, just pull over,"
"What do I get out of it?"
"Hmmm, I wont show anyone that embarrassing picture I have of you from 8th grade,"
"You wouldn't..."
"Try me,"
"FINE."
Aiydan-0, Lia-1.
