Her Warbler

21

Getting ready for Sadie Hawkins was kind of exciting. I was really looking forward to another dance with Sebastian before Senior prom.

I took a nice long shower and applied a face mask that I would wash off in half an hour. In the meantime, I turned on a good movie. Before I did anything else, I went downstairs and saw a few envelopes placed on the kitchen table. I looked at them, and saw they were from the colleges I applied to at the end of my junior year.

I opened the first one which was from Yale. Quinn convinced me to apply to Yale because they had a great performing arts program. I slowly opened the top of the large, orange envelope.

Dear Ms. Giselle Archer,

Congratulations! It is with great pleasures that I offer you admission to Yale University Class of 2017!

I just looked at the letter with shock. I put that letter down and saw the other envelopes. I opened the letter from Julliard. It was the same size too.

Dear Ms. Giselle Archer,

Congratulations! As head of admissions, I, with great pleasure, offer you admissions into Julliard School of the Performing Arts!

The other letters were in smaller envelopes meaning I didn't get in. Whatever. I have two great schools who want me. However, I had a tough decision because Yale was the first school I considered applying to before I decided to go into performing arts. On the bright side I could be with Quinn.

I just placed the letters down and decided to go back upstairs to finish getting ready. I sat in my floor to paint my toe nails while I waited for my face mask to set. After painting my toe nails, I walked into my bathroom and washed off my face mask. Then, I took my hair out of the towel and began to brush my hair out. It was still rather damp. Maybe because of how thick it is. I slid it into a bun, and began to apply my make up.

After I did my make up, I began to blow dry my hair after putting in some hair product to protect it from the heat. Then I curled my hair once it was all dry. I didn't feel like doing such a big updo. I sprayed a bunch of hairspray to hold the curls.

Then I carefully put on my dress (The Dress is pictured above) along with some lotion on my legs. I put on my deodorant and perfume. I looked in the mirror and smiled. I slid on a shimmery bracelet on my left hand.

I put in my heels just in enough time for my doorbell to ring. Sebastian said he was going to pick me up early, because he wanted me to meet his parents. He planned this special dinner after he introduces me to his parents. I was nervous. From what Sebastian has told me about his parents, they were neglectful. He talks about his mother a lot, but Sebastian keeps it on the down low about his father being abusive. I wasn't really looking forward to meeting his father, however his mother seemed like an angel like he describes her.

I walked downstairs and answered the door. My dad wasn't here, but Sebastian said he'd send me the pictures.

"Hey!" I smiled.

"Hi," He grinned. "You look absolutely stunning."

"Thank you." I blushed. "You look like a prince with classic prince-charming hair cut." I teased. He was in a nice suit. He placed my corsage on my wrist.

"Thanks," He chuckles. "You ready to go?" He asked.

"Yeah!" I nodded.

"Are you nervous?" He questioned as I shut the front door behind us as we walked to his car.

"Kind of..." I sighed. "The way you talk about your dad makes me nervous." I stuttered.

"He won't hurt you, trust me." He reassured. "Besides my mom is ecstatic to meet you."
