NINI took a deep breath, messing with her hair a little in the mirror.
"Stop touching my masterpiece," Carlos said, swatting Nini's hands away from her hair. "If you ruin this hairstyle after I sat here for an hour trying to make it perfect then you can walk to homecoming from here, Seb won't drive you."
Nini chuckled, raising her hands away from her head in surrender.
"Thank you," Carlos said, grinning as he touched Nini's hair up again in her vanity mirror. "Masterpieces must be kept as masterpieces."
Nini was nervous, if that was even the truth. She knew she was way beyond nervous at this point, but was there even a word for that? Frightened, anxious, nervous; Nini was all of the above, and maybe even more. Homecoming was here.
It felt better to know she was already surrounded by people who loved her - Seb had driven Nini home from school once it was over, and they had met up with Kourtney and Carlos outside her home, the designated 'pre-homecoming house' as Carlos called it. They all wanted to be together, to walk in together, even though Harrison had said he would be arriving a little while after six.
Carlos had managed to persuade Nini to let him do her hair, and even though she had been sceptical to begin with, he had done a good job. Her new Carlos hairstyle and Kourtney makeup, paired with a just below the knee, deep purple mini dress, Nini could've sworn there were feelings inside of her heart that she had never felt before - she actually felt beautiful, and it was a nice feeling.
