"Fuck! " I shouted as I fell on the dirt on all fours.

Well that's what I get for not tying my shoes right.

My earphones fell off my ears, and my fucking knee got scraped.

It wasn't that bad of bleeding , but it was still blood.

I brushed the sand, and dirt off my knee's then proceded to tie my shoes good.

My phone then started vibrating, which turned out to be Crystal.

"Hello? " I answered.

"Where are you? I just came to your house and your car is not there!"

"I'm running on a dirt road, calm down. "

"Koleen! What are you doing over there?! You're supposed to be getting ready already!"

"Yeah, about that..."

I decided I wasn't going to the party and just let Crystal go ahead instead.

Ok, I'll admit , I did chicken out of going because of the dress, but I was not going to wear that!

Crystal should understand and respect my decision.

"Koleen, you can't do this to me. You already got your dress, and you promised me and Jaxon. "

'Fuck , I forgot about Jaxon'

"I didn't promise him, I just said ok. "

"So? Same difference. You can't set him up then bail on him-"

"I'm not bailing on him!"

"Well you're bailing on me, come on you're my best friend. Best Friends are there for each other. Can't you do just this one for me? "

Ugh, Crystal always found a way to make me feel guilty.

"Fine. " I puffed out.

"Yay!" She squealed. "I'll wait inside. Hurry up!"

"Ugh, I can't believe I'm doing this. " I mumbled, running to my car.

□■□■□■□■□■□■□

"Koleen, where have you been? I've told you lots of times to not let your friends waiting!" My mom yelled.

"Sorry mom, I was running-"

"Running, " She rolled her eyes. "Is that all you do? Why can't you have another hobby such as shopping ?"

"Wy didn't you wake me up yesterday? " I changed the subject.

She breathed out, "I had an early shift to work, and anyways you're already old enough to get up by yourself."

"Right." I mumbled.

"Enough talking, lets go!" Crystal interrupted, not even bothered with my mom's tone.

She's used to it now I guess.

I showered first ,out of everything, then blow dried my hair.

"You can use my vanity if you want, " I offered.

"No it's ok, it's your room, plus your window gives good lighting." She smirked.

"Ok, sure. "

We then proceded to do our makeup.

After I moisturized, and primed my face, I started on my eyebrows which was the easiest for me.

After I cleaned my brows, and set them. I started with my eye makeup next.

I knew exactly what look I wanted for this.

I was in the zone, concentrating on doing my eyeshadow right. Especially a cut crease since you need all your focus for it, and that's exactly what I'm doing.

Man I forgot how much fun makeup is.

I turned around to find my phone, when Crystal looked at me and shouted, "Oh my gosh! Ugh, Koleen what the fuck. Show me your sorcery! "

"I'm guessing you mean you like my eyeshadow, and lashes."

"Love!" She exclaims. "Shit! It's almost eight, we better hurry up. Especially you, since you're barely on your eyeshadow. "

I turned back around to put on my foundation along with the rest of my face makeup.

"What part are you on? " I asked.

"Highlight. "

"Already? "

"Yeah, " I heard her get up. "You know i'm always the one who get's ready first. "

"True. "

"I'm going to do my hair now, where's your curler? "

"Uh.. I think it's in my bathroom, and if not , then under my bed or something. "

She groaned, then went to find it.

I was in the middle of baking, when my mom called.

"Koleen! Someone is here to see you! " She yelled.

"What did she say? " Crystal said, poking her head out my bathroom.

"She said someone is here to see me. "

"Do you think it's Jaxon? What time did he say he was going to pick you up? "

"I don't know , check. "

"Why me? "

"Because i'm waiting for my baking to set, and i'm in the middle of contouring. "

"Ugh, fine. "

After about a few minutes, she came back up.

"Yup, it's Jaxon, and damn does he look goood." She said licking her lips exaggerating.

I laughed, "Who says that? "

"I do. I told him you were still getting ready, and about giving me a ride, which he didn't mind, at least not until I threatened him. "

"What's he doing? "

"He's just sitting on the couch waiting for us, and your mom's in the kitchen, making dinner I guess. "

"Oh. Well we better hurry then. "

After finishing off my face makeup, I used the same shade I put in my crease, and put it on my lower lash line to complete the eye look.

Then, I used my favorite nude pink lip liner and lipstick, and topped it off with another of my favorite glosses.

I then set everything with my setting spray.

'Yay! Time for highlight!' I thought.

Highlight was one of my favorite parts besides eyeshadow when doing makeup. It's so ugh, such glow.

While my face was still wet, I also wetted my highlight brush and put it on the spots I usually highlighted.

"Uh, isn't that a bit too much highlight? " I heard Crystal's voice.

"Hey, I gotta glow you know? "

She laughed. "Oh my gosh your face looks great! "

It was my turn to laugh, "You too, damn, we're both going to look good. " I said, getting up and hugging her.

"What's taking you guys so long-Uh, is it a bad moment? Girl problems? " I hear Jaxon say entering my room staring at us hugging each other.

"No, we just both look good. "

"So ya'll have to hug it out? "

I rolled my eyes. "Yes. "

"You could've knocked. "Crystal and I said at the same time before she went back into the bathroom to finish her hair.

"My bad." He says then sits in my bed.

"You can get out now Jax. "" I said finding my straightner.

"I'm not gonna wait out there in your living room all awkward with your mom."

"Please just get out. "

"No."

I groaned, then went to the bathroom with Crystal to straighten my hair and get ready there.

"I'm coming in here with you since he refuses to leave. "

I did all the steps to straighten my hair silky smooth, while Crystal went back out to get her stuff to change.

"Finally. " I puffed out relieved, straightening my hair was hard work when it was so long.

"Damn your hair looks good. "

"Does it look healthy, glowy, and shiny? " I asked her.

"Yes!" She yelled, stripping off her shirt and shorts to put her dress on. "Shit! Leeny, I left my push up bra in my purse, can you get it for me? "

" Ughh, I guess. " I opened the door and noticed that Jaxon was taking a nap in my bed.

I got her bag then went back into my restroom, locking the door.

"Here, is that the Victoria's Secret Bombshell bra? "

She squealed. "Yes,I love it so much, when I got it, I tried it on with the dress and it looked so fine. Like this bra is good."

She put it on, then her dress.

"See?! " She emphasizes around her chest to show me how good it pushed them up.

Damn, she did look good.

"You look great, like straight up a goddess. "

"Aww, thanks. Now hurry up and change! I'm already getting anxious to go! " She said lacing up her heels,

I went to my walk in closet and got the dress, my heels, the jewelry, and a bag.

"We should take lots of selfies after. " I told Crystal.

"Definitely. "She said, taking some of her own.

Sometimes i'm too self concious to change in front of even my best friend, but right now i'm feeling pretty confident so I changed infront of her.

"You look sooo good Koleen. Kimberly doesn't know who she's messing with. "

I laughed.

"Let's take selfies, then we'll take a picture posing outside, and we'll make Jaxon do it."

"Deal. " I said.

□●□●□●□●□●□●□●□●

We took so many photos, we didn't realize it was time to leave.

I quickly got everything I needed throughout the night, then went to wake Jaxon up.

"Jaxon, Jaxon wake up. "

"Ow! What was that for?" He groaned halfway awake. Pinching him was the only thing to wake him up quickly.

He rubbed his eyes, then opened his eyes slowly, an amused look on his face as he took me in.

"You look really hot! Shit. I'm never leaving you alone tonight that's for sure. " He got up, grabbed his keys from my nightstand and headed out the door.

I stood there a little embarrassed by his compliment, then walked off after him.

"I'm leaving! " I shouted so my mom could hear.

"Wait! Hold up Leeny , let me take a picture! " She said hurrying to get her phone. I sighed, and went outside telling them my mom wanted to take a picture of us.

In the meantime, me and Cryst made Jaxon take pictures of us.

"Damn, ya'll look amazing. Let me take a picture with ya'll and caption it that ya'll are my side hoes and I might pull a threesom tonight."

I kicked him with my heels, and Crystal punched him.

"I'm joking girls, I'm joking." He defended himself.

"Let's see, which one should I post on IG? " I asked Crystal for help.

"I'm here! " my mom cheered. "Now, get together, Jax, you'll be next to Leeny. "

"Mom, we're gonna be late, why do you want to take a picture?"

"Because this is the first boy you've ever brought home honey, and it might be the last, once he knows how you are, so pose and smile!"

'Ouch'

After the picture, and we were inside the car, Jaxon said, "Don't be offended, but is she always so bitchy to you? "

I stood there open mouthed, I mean I'm used to it, but no one's ever called her bitchy, not even Crystal.

"Yes, she sometimes treats her like shit. " Crystal interjected. I wish she closed her mouth. He didn't have to know my business.

"That's not true, her work just stresses her out alot, thats why. " I try to defend her.

"What does she work as? " He asked.

"She's a nurse at Saint Halverson hospital. "

His eyes widened. "Damn really. I bet she gets paid good, that hospital is no joke."

"Yeah I guess."
