14. ivelle

I woke up pretty fresh, we slept ealry yesterday after helping Lola with her dress and skin care routines yesterday night for modelling event. She has made hot chocolate , and prepared an amazing bath for me. She is the best! I read this book that I have been meaning to read for quite some time, sipping my hot chocolate in my bath which pretty much was all I needed . I decided to grab a cupnoodles from the cafe and headed out to the park. I had a quiet afternoon under the tree bushes finishing my book. It was late afternoon when I reached my room, Lola and i got ready for ivelle. All the other things were already in the back of my mind, ivelle hype had finally got to me.

We got ready in around 3 hours. Looking at myself in the mirror, dark black eyes under the shadows of my bangs and my red lips did go well together. The low cut back showcasting my back and the fit of the dress looked festive enough.

" You look yummm " she said giving me perv eyes.

I chuckled " looks like sid is gonna get some "

" Yeah damn right he is " she giggled adjusting her sleeves. We walked down, and met the others near the auditorium.

" you guys are so cute " I whispered to lucky. Mitchell had warm brown eyes similar to neil's and their ties matched each other's tux.

" I know right! " lucky squealed and did his iconic hair flip and I scrunched my nose.

" Hey " I turned to Neil's voice , his brown eyes looking me up to down, and he smiled. " You look beautiful! "

I blushed " you don't look bad yourself "

" Something is missing though " he said

" What " I said checking myself. Earings check. Chain check. Slippers check. Bra? check. " What ? " I looked up.

He was holding a locket in his hand. It was beautiful. A blood red glass red heart pendant and a very thin golden chain. " Omg! Neil " he smiled. " It's.. it's.. beautiful "

" Let me put this on for ya " he turned me around. Removed the old one And put it on my neck. Lola was eye signalled me asking if I was ok. I nodded.

" Come on. Lovely dovleys let's get moving. " Nick said.

" Shut up" we shouted back together. I told neil I would be leaving for the meeting after ivelle as we walked , he didn't seem to like it but nodded anyway. We sat through the formal session making fun of the speech and our teachers and mostly bitching about lucky to Mitchell. We told him about his ex girlfriend who broke up with him even before knowing he was gay and how he came out, lucky didn't like it one bit which made it more fun. Finally, the boring formal session got over. And the fashion show started. The whole gang burst into screams when Lola walked in. Her rampwalk, posture, dress and makeup were on point. She winked at me and blew a kiss at sid and struck a few poses. We put in our votes for Lola before heading to the dance floor. Lucky pulled me to dance off . After we sucked it up to those losers who were aiming to break our hatrick this year, we joined the others in the dance floor and, danced our asses off for about an hour. I didn't wanna continue for the romantic songs, as I didn't plan to showcast another one of my panic attack to my friends. We went down to the food area, had a lot of fingerlickingly good dishes , right when I went to garb a cup of water, I spotted a very familiar figure. He was talking to our counceller, shaking hands and nodding his head and then he turned!

Akil?!!

I walked to him as his eyes searched the room and taped his shoulders " looking for someone? "

" Hey " he said his eyes looking me up and down. He brushed his hair without paying attention to it. " hey. You look amazing "

" Thanks. Bow tie suits you " I said. He looked amazing. Needless to say. A perfect tux and a bow tie. He smiled. " You came? "
