Bella
When I saw Ray standing beside my car I felt happy inside. I was so happy that I had gone through the story yesterday, the only problem was that I have to start from the beginning. But I acted extra worried just to talk to him. And I was so excited when I got the chance to go to his beautiful garden again. Of course there was no way I was going to tell him he inspired me to write my story. so I told him a living thing instead when he asked about it.
I was so tired when I woke up the next day which was Thursday Thank goodness we only have two classes. After lectures me and my friends went over to eat at the school cafeteria. We were half way though with our meal when we started hearing noise we turn to look.
. It Carl Tracy announced my Carl Elizabeth said. I looked at him then look away. He seems to be looking for someone. All the girls and a few guys were taking pictures he is walking towards us Tracy said and I raised my head up. Hello ladies he said as soon as he got to our table. Hello the three of us said. Tracy and Elizabeth could not stop smiling. I did not want to wait for fate he said turning to me. Do you have a plan for tomorrow he went straight to what he hard to say.
I am not sure I will have to check I replied. why? I asked.
I am having a function to attend tomorrow and I will need a date. And luckily we meet so if you're free I would like you to be my date there he said. I was super surprise, I did not know what to say. He handed over his card. When you have checked your schedule give me a call and let me know okay. I nod my head and he smiled
Am I dreaming or did Carl just walked up to our table and asked Bella to be his date for a show? Tracy asked. No you are not Elizabeth answered still smiling. I am not going I said.
You are joking right Tracy said. I am serious Carl is a big flit and you two are crushing on him what if a spark happen between me and him? I will be stealing your crush I said. This girl Is crazy Tracy said.
Wait! when did you become familiar with Carl Elizabeth asked.
OMG I just got caught, what am I going to tell them. I have not told them anything about what happened with Ray and now is definitely wrong timing. They are going to be angry I kept some thing like that away from them.
Tracy looked at me like she just realized something. Is Carl the other guy you think you are liking? she asked.
No Tracy, do you think if Carl is the one I will keep something like that away from you? I asked. I did not wait for them to answer before I added. I have only meet Carl once and that was the day we returned from the writers seminar I told a white lie. I have really just meet him once the only lie was about the time.
Oh right, I think he picked intrest in you since then. Now I am feeling like that spark is going to be a reality Tracy commented. I breath a sign of relief. All those cover up for Danielle came very handy today.
We all know Carl is not the type to take any lady seriously. Do you guys want to see my face in entertainment gossip tomorrow? I asked.
Yes they both answered. As long as you will be standing beside Carl in the gossip then I would love to see you all over the new, Tracy said. Are you sure you will not get jealous? I ask smiling at them.
He is just my crush, if you two get together I could just start crushing on Emmanuel or Wilfred definitely not Ray he is waste of time Tracy said. Even if you don't go with him another lady will, so please I want to become Carl's friend when my best friend becomes his girlfriend she added after a pause
So let start talking about shopping Elizabeth said. I will do your make up Tracy offere. Then I guess I have no choice but to go.
Yes they both cheer.
.....
I called Carl later that evening to inform him I was free. Just as I drop the call Jace call come in. After having random conversation for a while . Bella it been a while we hang out how about tomorrow? he suggeste. Sorry Jace I already have plans for tomorrow. Maybe some other time I said. Alright he said. We talked for a little while and hang up.
The next day was Friday, after our class me and my friends went out for shopping. I think I must have tried out ever dress they had in the shop. Tracy and Elizabeth kept saying too long, too simple, too serious, too desperate I wonder what that even mean, too desperate I laugh at my thoughts.
No not this one, definitely not that they said. Then finally I tried on a wine dress. It was looking just perfect on me. Girl this dress was made for you Tracy said. Elizabeth nod in agreement. I walked up to the mirror and I look so beautiful in the dress but just then I realized it expose by shoulder. I can't wear this I said.
What! My friends said together in surprise, they instantly tried to convince me that the dress was perfect. I know that but I have a scare on my shoulder I said they both walk up to me. Oh right they said. Do you have anything similar they asked the lady attending to us.
God knows the lady was tired but she had no choice. We need something that would not expose her shoulders Tracy specify. The lady thought for a while then ask us to give her a minute. What happened to you? Tracy asked. Home accident I reply.
I never believe it was an accident I think Daniella had deliberately spilled the hot water on me. My reasons are. What was she doing with the hot water in the first place. secondly it was the same day a guy at our school had told her I was more beautiful than she was. Trust me it was a miracle that the water did not touch my face.
The lady return with a black gown almost like the one I had on but it had an opening from my thigh all the way down. I really loved the other gown more but this will do as my friends think it was okay. And it is as I looked beautiful in it. From shopping we went straight to a saloon to get my hair done. Tracy encouraged me to get heir extension and it look beautiful. when it was done. We want back to my apartment together. I rested for thirst minute and my friends helped me get dressed. By the time I was done dressing up, I look every bit beautiful.
