"Hey Care, I need help picking an outfit for the dance tonight. Can you help?"
"Of course be there in 5"
"Thanks" As I wait for Care to show up I start taking a third look through my closet. 'I am really in need of some new clothes, like seriously what is this' I think to myself as I pull out a sweater that must have been there for god knows how long and it looks like it was never worn....probably because it's not something you would wear everyday.Then I hear a knock taking me out of my thoughts.
"I'll get it!" I shout through the house
"Hey care" I say taking her hand and rushing her up the stairs.
"Okay, let me see what we're working with" she says as she looks through my closet. Just by her face I can tell her thoughts are not being nice to my closet right now.
"Okay your closet is horrible, what is this?" She says as she pulls out a outfit that I actually like. "Hey, that's a nice shirt"
"Yeah, if you were in a nursing home" To that I rolled my eyes. "Whatever"
"Come, we're going to my house"
"Wha, oh okay" I say she takes her turn in dragging we from the house and shoving me in her car. Not before I grab my keys and tell whoever is home that I'm leaving.
-At Caroline's-
"Okay this way I think I know exactly what you could wear." She says as she takes a good look at me then continues to her room. I just follow silently while I look around, it's been a while since I've been in here.
"Okay here" she shoves a dress at me that hits me in the face and startles me. I go change and I actually don't look that bad. (Dress up top)
When I come out Caroline is in her dress too curling her hair and doing her makeup. "So how I look"
She takes a long look at my outfit and says, " hold on somethings missing," then she turns back to her vanity gets a little scarf and wraps it around my neck "that's better" she says with a small smile.
"Come sit, let me do your hair and make up" she does a simple make up look on my with blue eyeshadow to match the dress, a little eyeliner paired with some mascara and tied together with some pink lipstick.
Then she gets started on my hair she does a swooped bun like they use to do in the sixties. She gives me some faux bangs with it. All this with a lot of hair spray and some Bobby pins to keep it together. (Imagine hairstyle up top with black hair instead of blonde)
Since she already finished her whole outfit and finished getting ready she keeps going with my look. She paints my nails to match everything else and gives me some heels to pair it with.
As she finally allows me to look into the mirror to see what I look like. " Wow, I don't think I've ever been this glammed up before"
"But you look beautiful" care says as she stands behind me admiring her work and effort.
"Yeah I do"
As we stop talking we hear the doorbell go off downstairs and care runs to go grab it while I put all I need in my purse that just happened to match that care also gave me. Let's just say my whole outfit tonight, came from care and thank you for her.
"Come on Maya some ones here for you!" I hear care shout up the stairs. 'What' I think I didn't tell anyone I was at Care's tonight. Who is it? "Coming" I say back
As I'm walking down the stairs I'm checking my purse to make sure I have everything. " Who is it Ca-" I stop as I finally look up to see Jeremy and Matt there both in suits. Well Matt is dressed up as JFK my guess is to match Care. "Hey Jere, what ya doing here" I say kindly and slowly as I come back to the land of the living from my mind, only after Caroline bumped me though.
"Oh well, um, Matt came over to the house right before he was coming to get Caroline and he told me that you were here too so I tagged along." He says looking kinda like he was a mix between afraid to say it and nervous.
"Well I'm glad you did" I say walking closer and off of the stairs. Finally I acknowledge Matt. " Hey Matty" with him being best friends with my brother him and I bonded a bit, he's like another older brother.
" You look nice" he said looking at my outfit for a little while.
"You clean up nicely yourself" I say back to him giving him a little friendly bump of the hip. I don't know why I did that
"Well how about we get going" says Matt and by the look on his and Caroline's faces I can tell they planned this.
"Sure hopefully I can get a cup of punch before they spike it" I say as we walk out the rest laugh at my comment.
The whole drive there I could tell that something was up with Matt but what do I know I've only known him for a few weeks. The rest of the drive I felt like I was being stared at. Low and behold it was Jeremy, I looked at him and he looked away with the slightest bit of blush on his face.
We get to the dance before the rest of the group. I actually got my cup of regular punch right before someone spiked it, no more drinks of the night for me. "Hey let's go dance"
"Oh I don't dance"
"Come on, how are you going to go to a dance but won't dance" he still didn't look convinced so I said.
"Come on don't be like Chad Danforth"
"I sorry who"
"High school musical?" He still looked confused
"No? Not ringing any bells?" he shook his head
"You never watched high school musical?"
"Nope not that I remember"
"We are having a serious movie night one day."
"Would love to" he said
"Anyway we're still dancing. Come on," he tried to protest but I wasn't listening.
"Nope come on" I say as we finally found a spot that wasn't so crowded with people and just swayed to the music.
