BLOWING SMOKE

May 5, 2019.

"I  was just coastin', never really going anywhere. Caught up in a web I  was getting kinda used to stayin' there and out of the blue. I fell for  you" I sang.

"Now  you're lifting me up, instead of holding me down" Ali joined in,  singing along with me. "Stealing my heart instead of stealing my crown.  Untangled all the strings round my wings that were tied"

I didn't know him and I didn't know me. Cloud nine was always out of reach.

I turned around to her while in my dress.

"Now I remember what it feels like to fly. You give me butterflies" We sang together.

"You literally look like the song" Ali commented on the dress I was wearing.

"Wait till the headpiece" I told her. "I'll be flying"

Kiss full of color makes me wonder where you've always been. I was hiding in doubt till you brought me out of my chrysalis.

Ali rolled her eyes at me.

"I can't believe you are actually going to wear that" Ali said. "I wouldn't"

"Because you're not a co-chair" I said. "I was meant to wear this"

Now  you're lifting me up instead of holding me down. Stealing my heart  instead of stealing my crown. Untangled all the strings round my wings  that were tied.

I turned around to the mirror again. I looked at myself as I swayed in my dress. The butterflies bounced as I swayed.

"I  didn't know him and I didn't know me" I sang along to the song. "Cloud  nine was always out of reach. Now I remember what it feels like to fly"

I turned my head to my phone, hearing it buzzing. Ali got up from the chair.

"I'll answer it" Ali said, walking over to it. "You don't have the hands anyways"

I smirked to myself.

The  dress had no holes for my arms. So, I literally had my hands inside my  dress. I was going for style over comfort. That was one of the many  rules of camp. I thought I was doing a pretty good darn job at it so  far.

"It's Harry" Ali said. "Answer or no"

I walked closer to her, standing feet away for the butterflies not to touch her.

"Answer" I told her.

She answered. Harry smirked at the sight of me.

"You have butterflies!" Harry said in a cheery voice.

"And I'm listening to butterflies!" I cheered back at him.

"I can hear" Harry said. "You're not home?"

"Yeah" I said. "They brought over Ali's and my dress for last minute fittings. Why you ask?"

"I just landed" Harry said. "Thought of seeing you first before heading to dinner"

I smiled at him.

"Are you sure?" I asked him. "Straight from the airport? Aren't you jet lagged?"

Harry shook his head at me.

"Feeling good, actually" Harry said.

"Alright" I said to him. "Come then. See you soon"

"See ya" Harry said before hanging up on me.

Ali put my phone down on the table. Ali rolled her eyes at me.

"What?" I asked her.

"Nothing" Ali said, going back to sit down in her seat.
