As Everything Changes

Chapter 33

There are only three days until the big dance competition. Practice is harder than usual. We all want to be absolutely perfect for the ALDC.

Jazzy's dance is almost perfected. We decided on a beautiful costume that goes perfectly with her dance. It is sky blue wit gold beads. I personally think it is beautiful and Jazzy looks absolutely stunning in it.

"Okay, good practice today ladies. We will have morning practice tomorrow as well as afternoon practice until eight. We need to work on solos and the group dance like crazy! See you all tomorrow," Ms. Lilian says.

We all nod then hurry out. I go quicker than usual because tonight is special. I have a date with John for our month anniversary. It feels as if we have been together for years though.

I arrive home and my mom greets me at the door.

"Hurry, John will be here soon," she says.

"Okay, I'll be down soon," I nod then hurry upstairs. I take a five minute shower and then follow the usual routine.

I go to my closet and choose a nice outfit for thew occasion. A navy blue lacy dress with a brown belt around the waist, brown sandals, and come gold bangles paired with my brown hat.

I do simple golden eye shadow and mascara then finish off the look with shimmering lip gloss. One I am finish I grab a navy blue hand bag and throw my things into it. I rush down stairs, John should arrive at any second.

"Oh you look absolutely gorgeous sweetheart! Do you know what you're doing?" my mom asks when she spots me.

"No, John has a thing for surprises," I frown.

"Man! Well I'll be up and waiting for all of the details when you get home. Remember, no later than midnight unless you call me and get my permission," she says, kissing my forehead.

"Okay, I feel like my heart is pounding out of chest," I grumble.

"You seem to be getting really close with him really fast," she says softly.

"Yeah. I guess," I say awkwardly. Just then the doorbell rings. I let out a sigh of relief. Talk about saved by the bell.

"Have a good time dear," my mom says then she turns on her heel and walks away.

I wait a moment then open the door. John is standing outside dressed nicely in a suit and tie. Suddenly, I feel just slightly under dressed. I smile anyway though.

"You look absolutely stunning," he grins.

"You're so cliche, but you look good too," I wink.

His grin widens as does mine.

"Well, lets go, shall we?" he asks.

I nod as he reaches his hand out for mine. I shut the door behind me and allow him to walk to me to the car and open my door.

He climbs into the drivers side and we head off to the "secret destination". He turns on the radio and the song 'Night Changes' by One Direction turns on.

"Going out tonight, changes into something red," John begins to sing.

"You are not singing this song," I laugh.

"Hey, whats wrong with a guy singing to a little One Direction?" he winks.

"Nothing, continue," I chuckle.

He does exactly what I tell him to do too. He sings the song melodically but quite terribly at the same time.

When the song ends I burst out into a fit of laughter.
