As Doris Day - Dream a little dream of me, I twirled around with my 1950’s spotted dress.317Please respect copyright.PENANALekYhJk9g7
I smiled softly and sang the last few notes. My room resounded with my voice and the last noted sounded.
“ Marilyn dear, you are late.” My mother came into the room and smiled softly.
I looked at the time and gasped. Running to the dressing room, I changed quickly, putting my jeans and hoodie back on. I passed near my mother and kissed her cheek.
“ Don’t be late.” She said.
“ I won’t.”
As I ran down the stairs my big brother shook his head and exited from the door.
“ Hey! Wait for me.”
“ Don’t run Marilyn.” My father said from the other room.
“ I can’t promise that,” I said as I sprinted from the door.
My brother already left.
“ Ugh”
I grabbed my bike and tried to catch up with him. When I turned the corner, he was already surrounded by girls.
His face looked bored as usual. He’s such a womanizer, without him even knowing.
“ Elijah,” I said.
He looked at me and smiled. “ Little Sis. Sorry ladies my baby sister needs me.”
The ladies awed.
What the hell?
I passed him and he followed with his own bike.
“ Saved by the bell.” He whispered.
I chuckled and shook my head.
“ Why did they awe? Seriously.”
He chuckled. “ Dario said that they like it when I act like a passionate big brother.”
I choked. “ You?”
He laughed out loud. “ You’re lucky to have me. Plus if it wasn’t for me, boys would be running after you.”
It was my turn to laugh. “ Don’t joke around.”
“ Dario and the other all asked me if they have a chance to ask you out.”
“ Great. And I presume since it’s a Friday today you will be having them over when Mum and Dad are out?”
He smirked. “ Guys only don’t worry.”
“ Yay!” I said sarcastically.
When we arrived, we parted ways and went to our respective classes.
My brother was only a year older than me and he’s in the last year. He’ll be leaving soon.
I hate to admit it but I’ll miss him.
“ Mar!!” A soft voice sounded.
I saw a small blond petite girl running my way.
“ Hey, Dominique. Good Morning.”
She stopped a few feet away and took a long breath before saying her own good mornings.
We headed to our first class.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
At lunch, we sat at our usual table. Our friends joined in and everyone was excited about something.
“ Why are you all so excited?” I said, eating my yogurt.317Please respect copyright.PENANAUDkbvXLHaB
A dark-haired guy turned his green gaze towards me. “ Mar, in what world are you living at?”317Please respect copyright.PENANAmYg6arV3yr
I shrugged. “ I don’t usually care Luke.”317Please respect copyright.PENANA9nT3bJnzkn
He chuckled and nodded. “ We are talking about Prom.”317Please respect copyright.PENANAECknMu3UuF
“ Prom?”317Please respect copyright.PENANAHLddzMw7Jm
He nodded and smiled.317Please respect copyright.PENANAT9Whgknfzz
I shook my head.317Please respect copyright.PENANAGxp8Tv7DC5
“ Sucks to be you guys.”317Please respect copyright.PENANAUfWkTdVOyX
They all turned towards me.317Please respect copyright.PENANATkZrkLxn5T
“ Why?” A blonde haired guy with hazel eyes, called Simon said.317Please respect copyright.PENANAK3S48tjDDk
I looked at Simon, then at Luke, at Dominique and at my other two friends, Gavin and Monique.317Please respect copyright.PENANA9JW9SiCsNM
“ You guys are probably going crazy about if your crushe will go with you or not.”317Please respect copyright.PENANAUYodttbuLM
They all looked at me.317Please respect copyright.PENANAESBG12kAid
I sighed. “ Dominique and Monique, you girls are twins. Use it to your advantage.”317Please respect copyright.PENANAkhSvlEfyq3
Then I turned to the guys. “ Gavin, the girl you like is head over heels for you. Look at you.”317Please respect copyright.PENANALzRqMfZdKT
He chuckled. His blue eyes sparkled with his hazel hair.317Please respect copyright.PENANAzDPytZL5Dd
“ Simon, if you ask her she will say yes, I’m sure.”317Please respect copyright.PENANAqKmeDXuoqY
Then I turned to Luke. “ I have nothing for you.”317Please respect copyright.PENANA52Q4Eqc9ft
Luke slammed his head and they all chuckled.317Please respect copyright.PENANAWL6PgTT44M
When the others were immersed into their Prom talk, Luke turned to me.317Please respect copyright.PENANAWjZBQj2j1t
“ Hey princess.” He smiled, flashing his perfect pearl teeth.317Please respect copyright.PENANAdfK8oKp4QA
“ Your beauty makes me sick.”317Please respect copyright.PENANAA5AUKd2lZZ
He burst into laughter and picked a strand of my hair.317Please respect copyright.PENANAJtTe20NQew
“ Why didn’t you have anything to say to me. ?”317Please respect copyright.PENANAY86lGDX2F7
I looked at him and smiled softly. “ Because I know who you wanna take to prom.”317Please respect copyright.PENANAxARhdIw4UI
“ Do you ?”317Please respect copyright.PENANAvchorcWFiC
“ Yeah and you know she hates these kinds of things.”317Please respect copyright.PENANAxGJpFThgvX
He chuckled and nodded. “ Unfortunately. Do you think I could convince her to at least go with me for this one?”317Please respect copyright.PENANAjjwOcIUwjb
I sighed and rubbed my temples. Luke grabbed my hand in his.317Please respect copyright.PENANAIXb4RX80IF
“ Just this once. I won’t even ask you out again.”317Please respect copyright.PENANA937YwwUEri
I looked at him. “ You know that it’s not because I don’t want to go out with you. I do very much but-”317Please respect copyright.PENANAx5RpdLadiC
He shook his head and cut me short. “ I know Mar. Don’t worry.”317Please respect copyright.PENANAaGPOaTlQ4x
I sighed and looked down at my half eaten food.317Please respect copyright.PENANARpNV5CIT00
“ Just this once. Before you leave.”317Please respect copyright.PENANAt8syYigBIk
That’s right. I almost forgot that I will leave in a month. My brother will stay here for his studies but they will take me to my Aunt’s house, for the time Mum and Dad have to go overseas. It was my choice not to go with them, but I was hoping that they would leave me with Elijah.317Please respect copyright.PENANAVXpIHnAicv
But they told me Elijah will be so busy he won’t be able to be near me at all and for a short while I’ll have to go live with my Aunt and after Elijah finishes his studies I will go back to live with him.317Please respect copyright.PENANA48whUSncuA
“ Mar?”317Please respect copyright.PENANAAlY1rGQe9k
I looked at Luke, he was gazing into my eyes hopeful.317Please respect copyright.PENANATlgWOPHbkm
“ Okay.”317Please respect copyright.PENANAIrPJBuaC5t
His face lit up. “ Seriously?”317Please respect copyright.PENANAxshxNX9MYk
I chuckled and nodded. He hugged me to him and laughed.317Please respect copyright.PENANA1MXN9EUBM8
“ Thank you!”317Please respect copyright.PENANAoCO5qpSvIO
“ No, thank you. When I come back, if you will still be interested, I’ll take you back on that date offer.”317Please respect copyright.PENANAme2GkN3kpw
His eyes pierced me with his thoughts. “ I will always have only you in my mind.”317Please respect copyright.PENANAYqshVfvQfS
I smiled softly. I smile because I know that it wasn’t true.317Please respect copyright.PENANADfLtgOdUo2
“ Hey baby sis, you ready for today?” My big brother came near our table.317Please respect copyright.PENANAu0yrnc9TIr
I’m pretty sure that the whole cafeteria just stopped talking.317Please respect copyright.PENANAF45Iowg1d1
Even my friends looked at him.317Please respect copyright.PENANAsrxDKLqDeM
“ Yeah.”317Please respect copyright.PENANAuTMGCb3vkt
He smiled and ruffled my hair. “ Sweet, I’ll wait outside.” He jogged back outside.317Please respect copyright.PENANAKIUrPdzg9i
When I turned around, everyone was looking at me.317Please respect copyright.PENANAmDSeRLL0vb
“ Your brother makes an old ladies hormones work again.”317Please respect copyright.PENANA8NZy4LhRLJ
“ Gross.”317Please respect copyright.PENANAr9Zp51dBL0
I picked my bag and got up from the table.317Please respect copyright.PENANA4t6MaGs9u5
“ I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to attend lunch with you for a while since my brother will keep me hostage as an excuse to avoid prom invitations.”317Please respect copyright.PENANAgLKkQJpj3H
The guys chuckled but the girls sighed.317Please respect copyright.PENANAWiiRAEycQd
Dominique jumped in her seat. “ Oh, I forgot. The theme is the 1950’s”317Please respect copyright.PENANAbFv4wxtW0V
My eyes went wide and a huge grin spread from my lips.317Please respect copyright.PENANARD41MMjbDR
She smiled and shook her head. “ I knew you would like it. I tried to make it possible but on one condition.”317Please respect copyright.PENANADlN9H6tMx1
My smile went back into a normal light.317Please respect copyright.PENANAzz9F7cUfBY
“ What condition?”317Please respect copyright.PENANALugX7cA6PO
“ That you sing a couple of songs until the singer comes.” Her face looked at me with promise.317Please respect copyright.PENANASIjE2AHOaV
I hit my hand on my head. “ You know how much I hate singing in public.”317Please respect copyright.PENANA8nR1vjGHPG
“ I know but they asked for you. They know you have a voice of an angel.”317Please respect copyright.PENANAGwXZ0DOHRG
I rolled my eyes. “ I don’t.”317Please respect copyright.PENANAgtz8pexWoI
“ You do.” Luke intervened.317Please respect copyright.PENANAwDNcI97TGk
“ Not helping.”317Please respect copyright.PENANAVLnx6xtWxG
He chuckled and put his hand under his chin.317Please respect copyright.PENANAuZ8Tg5SIGa
“ You are going anyway, why not amuse them.” He said winking.317Please respect copyright.PENANAtKLMD5BlNy
I groaned.317Please respect copyright.PENANANg6RiDVNsl
Then I turned to Dominique, “ I hate you.”317Please respect copyright.PENANAAE5WOOiC0W
I turned in my heel and walked away.317Please respect copyright.PENANAixdywUAXm9
“ Love you too.” She yelled.317Please respect copyright.PENANAfByMmq1qNM
When I arrived near my brother, his usual posse where around him.317Please respect copyright.PENANAX8Fq1o9oZQ
“ About time.” He said.317Please respect copyright.PENANAgKpJgDbqQR
“ Don’t start.”317Please respect copyright.PENANAJIDnV7E6Xi
Dario put his arms around my shoulders. “ What’s wrong cupcake?”317Please respect copyright.PENANAHqmWHBT9J0
My brother glared at him but he kept his hands around my shoulder.317Please respect copyright.PENANAgdCeWMzAaT
“ Seems like I’m going to have to sing at Prom.”317Please respect copyright.PENANAZJpxQyF1IS
They all looked at me and then burst into a fit of laughter.317Please respect copyright.PENANAOVhYcn4FZ3
“ Very funny.”317Please respect copyright.PENANAdtFFi4NSLf
I grabbed my bike and walked away.317Please respect copyright.PENANAJMHBwz2hzD
The boys still laughing followed me.317Please respect copyright.PENANAZsF2svUKy4
Elijah put his arms around my shoulder but kept laughing.317Please respect copyright.PENANAqNJ1ZUvQ3T
“ Sorry, but we all know how you get when you go on stage.”317Please respect copyright.PENANAhEUoR3WMAj
I punched him in the stomach.317Please respect copyright.PENANAwrWLuDyPms
“ Just because I vomited on the judges one time, ONE TIME, people.”317Please respect copyright.PENANAiirRP519Ka
They all burst into another fit of laughter.317Please respect copyright.PENANA0mJUfJ5jgB
I climbed onto my bike and paddled away.317Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ow1VcOogo
They called my name but I didn’t care.317Please respect copyright.PENANALqa4bosU0h
When I arrived home, mum and dad had already left for their usual weekend convention.317Please respect copyright.PENANADrfy7pq4CQ
The boys should be arriving soon, so I took the opportunity to shower before they arrive.317Please respect copyright.PENANA8XkNRS1C68
When they come, I won’t be able to have some alone time. If I go in my room, they keep bugging me to come down so might as well stay downstairs and listen to their guy talk and then go into my beautiful room.317Please respect copyright.PENANAGjxecU9aeg
