"Thanks"
"mom and dad are gonna freak."
"i dont care, thats nothing compared to this." i say lifting up my shirt and showing her the tattoo.
"Ellen! you bad ass never knew you had it in you." she said.
We laughed.
"yeah. hey can i show you this outfit i bought today for a party tonight?"
"sure."
i go into the bathroom and put on the clothes im going to wear.
"OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!" she yells.
"Natalie calm down whats the matter?" i say rushing to her side she looks like shes about to have a heart attack.
"I-i have the perfect necklace to go with that outfit." she says out of breath.
Wow. I push over and she falls down laughing.
"i thought it was something serious."
"It is i bought the necklace and couldnt figure out what to wear with it. It will go perfect."
She starts rummaging through her drawers and pulls out this long silver necklace with a heart lock and key. It had ribbons and pearls down the chain. It was magnificent.
"I love it" i snatch it from her and put it on myself.
"Now you are complete." she says.
We start squealing and jumping around again but i guess we were to loud.
"What is all the noise about!" my mom and dad came up stairs and are now in the doorway of Natalies room.
Crap, busted.
"What in the world!!" my mom yelled.
"Mom calm down i just got a little makeover" i say spinning around in front of them.
"Were did you even get money for that type of stuff.. and your hair!" my dad yelled.
"I saved up some money from the T Shirt Shop, thats all. Geez yall need to calm down."
"Noo! Ellen Sherii Dodson.."
"Henderson!"
"What in God's name is that on your hip.
The crop top exposed my tattoo.
"Its nothing, just permanent marker." i lie. I mean it wasnt exactly the type of permanent marker they were thinking about, but at least it was somewhat true.
My mother sighs.
"And where exactly do you think your going with that on?" my dad asked.
"to a party." i say.
"oh no your not going anywhere, youve been out enough this week you need to stay in for once."
Noo they werent about to do this to me.
"no!. i have been waiting for this party all week." i complain.
"your not going and thats final." my mom says leaving the room. My dad follows behind her and i cant belive that just happened.
There was no way i was not going to that party, even if i have to sneak out.
I look at Natalie's hello kitty clock and it was already 7:50.
I had to leave now.
