chapter seventeen
I woke up feeling hungry than normal. I guess it's was because of the things I had last night. Today was marking the 2nd of December, which was automatically the day I'll make a mockery of myself.
I went downstairs for breakfast and weirdly, everyone acted strange at the dining.
No talking, no questions, nothing. silence... everything was silent.
"Mum, what happened? why isn't anyone talking. what happened?", I asked out of curiosity.
"Nothing, nothing really. do you like the pancakes?" my mother tried to change the subject.
"We're not talking about pancakes mum, what happened?, I asked rather worried.
"Well.... humm... Tina, today is the festival, my father spoke up. your mum already told me what happened. So if you're not interested in participating in it, there's no problem."
"phewww", I breathed loudly.
"What happened? Why do you seem so happy", my mum asked rather surprised.
"well... mum, I'm sorry for what happened that day, I was not just thinking straight. I have decided on singing and nothing can change that.
I watched my parents stare at each other in disbelief...
" I'm sorry for my behaviour and, I love you guys soo much."
By the looks of my parents face, they weren't expecting this from me. I happily hugged them as I went upstairs with my breakfast.
On reaching my bedroom, I called the super duper only fashionnista ( ◜‿◝ )♡ I knew, jade.
And she answered my call,
"hello, jade"
"hey"
"Well, jade I understand if you are still mad at me and you don't want to be friends anymore. but, I want to make things right between us. I'm sorry for what happened and also sorry for not respecting your decisions, please forgive me".
"sorry but I can't talk to you, Tina"..
"why?" I asked super worried.
"you'll have to compensate me first♥╣[-_-]╠♥(◕દ◕)".
my chest felt relieved, typical jade always joking around.
"so madam, what do you want?". I asked faking a scared tone.
"you'll have to take me to two ice cream dinner dates and buy me some jelly. only then you will be forgiven".
"Okay, done".
"wow, that was really fast...,"
we laughed on both ends,
"jade can you be able to make it to my house, I'm having a clothesmergency right now!.
"holy talula!!! I'm O.M.W
It only took some couple minutes before my knight in yellow jumpsuit arrived.
"I heard there was a clothesmergency so I came as fast as the wind, Mrs msctine."
"Kids of these days, I hardly understand what you're saying dear. go upstairs, Tina is waiting for you",
I was pleased to see jade. "
"Where have you been girllllllllll, I'm about to get swallowed by clothes, I said almost panting.
"I would have arrived earlier, but , I met your mum downstairs", jade replied.
Anyhoo, I'm so happy I made it here, so would you finally tell me what happened that day?".
"what do you want to hearrrrr", I said
shyly as I rolled my eyes.
"well I want to hear everything. Did you and Michael, yunno?" my bestie poked me on the side.
"dunno what?" I paid all the attention on my clothes and tried to deny her question.
" younno... do it", she smiled mischievously.
"If you must know, yes. we hmmmm... and it was extreme!!!!!!!," I said before I closed my ears for what was about to happen.
squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...., I was right! she screamed, really, really loud.
Omg Tina, I can't believe. That explains the glow recently, you sneaky girl.
what glow... I really don't understand what you're talking about...
" you're not going to understand cause, you're not the one seeing what I'm seeing..."
I stared at her confusedly.
" so how was it?" she clearly jumped to another question.
"how was what?"....
"yunoo.... the uhmm, sex stuff". she pinched me.
"do we really have to talk about this?.."
"yes.... yes we do. and you need to tell me everything that happened! do not leave even the slightest details"
" Oh...not now baby girl, we have something to do.." I snapped my fingers...
"but...."
"lol... you know what, I'll tell you everything that happened but, we'll have to prepare, I have a festival innna bit", I said cutting her short.

After an hour of clearing, folding and packing. we finally settled with my blue lacy gown. with the jade's touch here and there, it was almost impossible to know it was the same gown I had before.
"wow, I look so beautiful", I said as I twirled in front of a mirror. thanks so much jade, I wonder what I would do without you",
"well I guess we'll never know," my bestie replied giving me a wink.
we spent about an hour on hair and makeup till we felt we were good. frankly, we really looked good. maybe if there's another word for beautiful it would work too.
"So I better call max to come pick us up tina, we'd better not be late for tonight", my bestie reasoned.
"Nah... I don't think I'll go with you, Michael already offered to pick me up."
"hmmm.... I hope you're not still mad at max? is that the reason you don't want him here?", she questioned.
"Nah, it's not that. in fact, I really want to apologize to him but, I already made a promise to my boyfriend soo, I really can't disappoint him now.
"ohh.. okay, let's go downstairs, your people will be so surprised to see you!!!, jade said as he pulled me out the room and to the stairs.
remember to walk slowly to create the suspense Tina!!!! she jokingly called out.
jade really sweet but, says the craziest things sometimes. I actually followed her advice, the both of us each taking slow steps according to the rthym of our foot. I could see how the heads turned staring at us. Max and Michael in their black tuxedos stared at us with dropped- open mouths, it was really a sight to remember.
"can I please take you to my car?", max said as he gave jade a hand.
"Ahem.., " I faked a cough.
The subconscious Michael, woke up from his stupor.
"sorry, sorry.. it's just that you look so beautiful Tina that I couldn't just look away", my so-called boyfriend blurted without thinking (●__●)
"Ahem...", now it was my mother's turn to break the heart felt moment. "I'm guessing it's time for you all to be going. Don't worry about us we'll be on our way." my mother said as she showed us the door.
"have fun!"
