Chapter 10
~Charlotte~
"Charlotte Philipps?" The girl's voice called me.
Thank the Lord someone called me. It was ridiciously hot at 5PM. What made things worse, I was wearing a sweater.
A freaking sweater, are you kidding me? It's like a 50 degrees hot outside.
I followed the lady and she was walking pretty fast which was fine with me cause the breeze was coming.
I hope my dressing room is airconditioned. That's what I really want right now.
Cold air.
"Here is your room, you'll be paged when it's time for you to go. Oh and, here's your dress. Lou will come here with the make-up artist. You can tweet to fans or something, I don't know." My dress? I had a dress? I hope it isn't the one Ash forced me to wear. Gah.
She handed me this big clothes bag (or whatever you call it), and she left. I put the dress on the small hanger near the door.
My room was fine. It was airconditioned which made me feel like a happy child. The only problem was that it smelled like rotten food.
Yeah, that horrible. I don't know who was the last person here, but I'm pretty sure, he/ she brought food and left it somewhere here and fed it to a rat. I hope that's not what happened though.
"Hello? Charlotte? Can we come in?" Someone knocked on the door. Oh, this must be Lou and the make-up artist. "Yeah, sure come on-- What are you two doing here?" I see Klaudia and Bianca.
Are you kidding me? I'm like a sweating whale here.
"Uh, visiting you. What does it look like?" Bianca replied. "Oh, hey there. You seem fine." "I'm grand. Your room isn't though. It smells like someone just died here. Did you flush a fish that just ate a fat piece of a burger and flushed it?"
"Nope! Anyway, you should've called me! I wouldn't be looking so... disgusting." "No, cause we wouldn't be here and you're not disgusting, you're just.... tired. I guess tour is busy?" Klaudia said. "Yes, and to think we haven't even started on anything else. Who knew life would be so difficult? Wait, what do you mean by you guys wouldn't be here if you told me?"
They both looked at each other.
What happened?
"Well, we weren't allowed to go out. At all. But we heard that you'd be performing here with the boys so we thought we could sneak out. And, what can I say, we did a great job at that." Klaudia said smirking. "Your boyfriends didn't allow you to go out?" "Not our boyfriends! Gosh, Charlotte. They aren't that overprotective." "Well, maybe Jay is." Bianca mumbled.
"Well, your his sister!" Klaudia raised her voice. I didn't know about this.... I think I heard of a rumor about Jay finding out about his half sister, but I never thought it was real.
And, that I would be talking to her.
"Anyway, we weren't allowed to go out since the fans might mob us. True, but I hate the fact they jailed us in our room, not even letting us go to our boyfriends' rooms!" "Where are they anyway?" "Oh, they left. They have this interview thing at 6, after they have this long to-do list which is too long for my breath to take. Short version is they get back by midnight." Klaudia said, smirking.
"Why do you keep making sloth faces at me? Did I do something wrong?" I asked her. "Oh, nothing. It's just a habit of mine. Oh and there is two good sides at the stories, one, we get to actually hang out somewhere in America. And, two, we can partyyy!" She said in a weird voice.
I'm guessing today's vacation day for them.
"Charlotte, we're here to get you ready-- Oh sorry, we didn't know you have guests." Lou barged in. "No, it's fine! You guys can start. Don't mind them." I told her.
Lou and Tessa, the make-up artist walked in greeting them and told me to sit down on the chair by the mirror. "We're gonna make your hair up, and let some curls flow out. That's okay with you right?" "Basically, I'm gonna look like Josh's mom?" "Eh, yeah. If that's fine," "Yeah, go ahead!"
I've always wondered how pretty her hair was. They must've heard me. Or, I was thinking aloud.
Bianca suddnely said, "What's this?" She pointed at the dress bag/ clothes bag (or whatever it is). "Oh that's my dress for tonight." "Did you choose it?" "Nope, why?" She said nothing but, mmm. "Just say it," "Well, there are two problems with a dress when it's picked for you or there's nothing wrong with it at all. One, the dress is too revealing and second, it could be tight. And, I know you hate that kind of dress."
"Doesn't everyone?" "Well, yeah. Except, you're performing with like 8 or 9 guys. YOU'RE THE ONLY GIRL. You wouldn't wanna be a fool would ya?"
"No.... But, I'm certain that wouldn't happen to me," "Oh really now?" "Oh really, yes." I answered confidently
I tried on the dress after a while and... the reaction was confusing. But, I knew this wasn't the dress I would ever in my entire life where.
"I think, it's... fine." I lied badly. I glanced down at my dress. "You think?" All of them said. "Nope. It has all the problems, what am I gonna do?" "I told you, don't ever be confident on other people's taste."
Ugh, everything was a mess. The dress looked like I was like gonna spend a night with my imaginary boyfriend in Imagine Town.
Until, Lou came up with something. "I know, we should cut down the skirt a bit, and you wear a blazer. And, if only we had a pair of boots..." "She could borrow mine. Let's just hope we're the same size!" Klaudia offered.
I tried on her boots, and... they fit.
A miracle.
We all cheered in joy and the only thing left was to get a blazer... The party was gonna start soon. What am I gonna do?
A knock suddenly interrupted my thoughts. "Charlotte?"
Is everyone gonna knock and come in my room now? Did the party venue change to my dressing room or something?
"Yeah, who is it?" "It's Harry," Oh fug.
"Do you, uh, need anything?" I asked nervously.
I get very anxious when boys are like few steps away from me and I'm wearing a silly dress.
I feel like an insecure fool.
"I was just wondering if you, um, saw Lou."
"Oh yeah, she's here."
"Harry! Come in," Yeah, come in and join the party.
I quickly covered myself with my own arms. How mature, Charlotte.
He was already wearing his usual outfit. Plain shirt, dark blazer, and a pair of black pants with some shiny shoes. He smiled happily like he just ate 6 packs of skittles. "Wow, nice boots! And, dress." I glared at him.
"Why are you covering yourself though?" He asked me. Oh I don't know, I'm just hiding my ugly side and just trying to let you go talk with Lou so that you can leave soon.
"I'm just feeling really... cold. Brrrr!" I faked a chill. Oh yeah, real smooth. He'll surely believe you.
"Okay? But it's extremely hot outside. Here, have my blazer." "What? No, that's yours!" I resisted.
"Come on, it's fine!" He removed it and wrapped it around me. He gave me a cute grin and I said, "Thanks, Harry." I smiled back at him.
"No prob, anyway, Lou, can I talk with you privately?" She nodded and they left the door. Tessa left too for some awkward reason.
It was just Klaudia, Bianca, and I.
"You have no idea how thankful I am right now." "For what?" "For not being able to be caught sneaking out. I would've missed a lot of action," Klaudia gave me another sloth face. "You remind me of Nathan, in a way." "Excuse you." Bianca raised her voice and sat straight.
Real smart, Charlotte.
