I looked in my mirror fixing up my hair a little waiting for Niall to get out of the bathroom. It’s kinds funny how about 2 months ago I thought I hated him.

I heard the door open and he came out walking over to my bed taking his homework out. We were doing ANOTHER project. I think all of our teachers knew how close we’ve gotten so they always pair us together.

I don’t mind though.

“Anna! Niall! Dinner!” I heard my mom yell from downstairs.

I did not waste any time running down the stairs. I was starving! Niall was close behind as we sat down at the dinner table. I liked having friends over since I’m an only child but sometimes I feel like since me and Niall have been friends, I’ve barely really hung out with Sasha or Tyler.

Naturally Niall ate pretty fast like my dad did. Why do guys feel the need to devour the food within 5 minutes?

Niall left after and I went on Twitter then watched The last Song and went bed.

Everything seems to be moving so fast. It’s Christmas Tomorrow!

Niall’s mom is having a Christmas party and she invited me, mom, dad, Sasha, Tyler, their parents.. So this should be fun!

Im going over Sasha’s house after school to get ready because Christmas decided to be on a Friday this year.

I did the usual then called Tyler because I miss him. We talked about school and just random stuff. He said he’d see me tomorrow and we went to sleep.

It’s 9th period and moving slowly as usual. Niall and I keep making stupid faces at each other when the teacher’s not looking.

“Oh, why don’t you too just get married” Lizzie, a girl in class sitting next to me says.

I rolled my eyes. We get comment like that a lot. Why cant a girl and boy just be friends?

Sasha and I took the bus to her place. She already had my dress over there so I could get ready. Sasha was wearing a white-ish, beige-ish dress kind of Marilyn Monroe style.

I was really jealous but I could never pull anything like that off. She asked me if her hair looked ok. It was curled, half up/ half down. She looked really pretty, like no homo but im jelly.

“You look great!” I said but then my eyes wondered off toward her dresser.

“but one more thing” She looked confused.

“Whats missing?” She asked.

I went over to her dresser and picked up this hair sparkle stuff we bought. And it was literally that. A bottle of loose sparkles. We took some throwing it into the air and jokingly dancing under it.

Then I looked in the mirror. Sasha turned around and looked at me examine my dress.

“Hubba Hubba” she said winking.

“Shut up” I said throwing a pillow at her.

But I had to admit. I did feel really pretty.

My makeup was simple. Gold eye shadow… but not in a crazy weird looking way. Thin eye liner. A little mascara and some pink lip gloss.

My hair was pulled up in to a bun with loose strands falling with my bangs out, curled.

And my dress was a bright red. Strapless. Flowing down from the wait to just above my knees.

And I had small white heels on.

We walked downstairs to get into the car with Sasha’s mom.

“Wow! You girls look beautiful!” she said.

We took a picture and then headed out to Niall’s.. and of course, we were fashionably late.
