amour plastique

16

School went by quickly, but it was pretty awkward between Andrea and I. After her argument between her and her parents, it's just been weird between all of us.

I didn't mean to yell at Drew, but he reminded me so much of my dad and I just had the want to tell him off.

On the other hand, Hudson and I kissed.

It felt amazing, and he was my first real kiss.

I was straightening my hair in my room and blasting the song Tia Tamara by Doja Cat. I've always liked hip-hop and rap music, but I also have a favoring for alternative music.

"Are you almost ready birthday girl?" Andrea knocked on my door and shouted over the music.

"Just doing my hair!" I shouted back. She walked in and turned down the music.

"Okay people are on their way now since it's 6."

"Okay." I turned around and looked at her. Her curly hair was out and she was wearing a white skater dress with black vans.

"You look pretty." I smiled.

"Girl, me? You look badass." She smiled and chuckled.

I was wearing a red fit and flare dress that had a lace up back, Andrea insisted that I wore it, and black heels. My hair was straight, but I added curls to the ends, and my makeup was still natural except for mascara, lipgloss and highlight. I will admit, I love the way I look right now, and it has come a long way for me to say that.

"Thank you." I smiled shyly and looked to the floor.

"Girls! People are arriving!" Janice yelled from downstairs.

"Go ahead. I'll meet you downstairs." I said with a slight smile.

"Okay." She began to walk to the door but stopped and turned around. "Oh, and happy birthday Brynn. This one will be the best so far, I promise." She smiled then walked out.

A few minutes passed and I was just looking in the mirror and at the picture of my mom.

She would be proud of me right now.

A knock came from my door and I looked towards it.

"Come in."

In came Hudson and he was wearing black dress pants and a white button up with the top two buttons undone. He looked hot.

"You look beautiful, sweetheart." He smiled and walked up to me. He had one of his hand behind his back.

"Thank you." I blushed and he kissed my cheek.

"I have something for you." He revealed his hand and it was a small gift bag.

"Hudson. You didn't have to get me anything." I say with humbleness and feel guilty.

"I know, but I wanted to. So just open it." He sat down on the bed and watched me grab the tissue paper out of the bag.

I pulled out a rectangular black velvet box and looked at him with my mouth open.

"Hudson." I breathe out in disbelief when I opened it.

It was a single lined diamond necklace with a matching earring set.

"I-I can't accept this." I looked at him and shook my head.

"Brynn, let me give this to you. And plus, I'm not going to accept it back." He stood up.

"This must've costed hundreds."

"It's only a small part of what I have."

"I'm going to have to repay you-"
