I'LL SMILE AGAIN

CHAPTER 3

"This blue gown would be a killer on you" Jenny urged  "forget it I'm not buying anything new for prom" I sighed. I still can't believe he asked me to be his date for prom it's like a dream I thought pricking myself while hugging myself tight, "heeeey why you so deep in thought Bella remember you enjoy shopping for clothes more than I do" she said " I just can't believe he asked me to be his date for prom" I whisper, Jenny did a semi circle turn then hugged me tightly screaming "woooow who is he"? " Answer me right now before I bring it out of you" she continued "hey hey calm down and let's say this over a cup of coffee" I said leading her to the cash register to pay for the stuffs she got.

As soon as we settled in the Mall's coffee shop even the waiter had barely taken our order before Jenny pounced on me with questions "who is he"? "What's he like, is he hot, do I know him" " yeah I will know him definitely there's no one I don't know at Camprock high school" she answered herself  "wait babe I it Adams? Jason, Jeremy, who ? I'm going crazy tell me who already" she nearly screamed gesticulating with her whole body.
"He's a transfer student, his name is Greg and he's my date for prom" I said  in resignation. "Wh- wh- whaaaaat?" She banged the table so loudly the whole of the coffee shop turned towards us eyeing us "hey stop it will you stop creating a scene here" I whisper to Jenny "you mean that lone wolf asked you to be his prom date ?" She whispered back with a kind of funny look that got me laughing so had "you know him!" I exclaimed " so you mean you don't know the hottest item in Camprock" she eyes me "like that lone wolf has been the headline news for weeks now" she continued now tell me all about how he asked you to be his date she urged me on.
Knowing Jenny she won't let it rest until I tell her what transpired between Greg and I word for word I went on to tell her about how I accidentally ran into him twice that day and how he gave me his cell phone number asking me to call him " Wow this sounds like some fairy tale heard his parent has it big his mother is an attorney and his father is a big business man" she explained. "Wa- wa- waittt" I managed not to choke on my coffee while the news hit me "babe you living my dream" she said  "it's nothing babe just a prom date" I countered "okay we shall see" she promised.

A few hours later sitting all alone at home I started thinking about all that happened and I can't help but smile sheepishly to myself.

My mum is at work as usual I sighed remembering how my father walked out on us when I was six years old and ever since my mum has been working round the clock as an only child to make sure I live a comfortable life she already has a trust fund for college tuition and I can't help but feel guilty that she has to do so much for me. I work part-time also at the vetenary clinic but I'm off today.
Thinking about mum made me unconsciously hum some lyrics off Akon's sorry put the blame on me
My favorite part is:
Sorry that you had to do it on your own, sorry that I really added to your grieve sorry that your son grew up way too fast....
I kept thinking about all the sacrifices mum made for me and thought the only way to repay her is to go to college study hard and become a nurse so I can look after mum when she grows old.
The light blinking on my cell phone drew me away from my thoughts and I picked up my phone to see a message from Jenny
"Did u call em alrdy" she texted in her usual fashion I rolled then text back
"Na I can't bring myself to" I pressed the sent button and was about to drop my phone when she texted me back immediately "I'm really gonna strangle you b**ch if you don't pick up your damn phone and call him"  oh God Jenny is really going to push me to my death I sighed as I switched off my cell phone and get into bed, going into Oblivion as soon as my head touched the pillow.
