As Doris Day - Dream a little dream of me, I twirled around with my 1950’s spotted dress.228Please respect copyright.PENANAVR2P4mNxdp
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.228Please respect copyright.PENANA4yV4FHkIm9
A dark-haired guy turned his green gaze towards me. “ Mar, in what world are you living at?”228Please respect copyright.PENANABrBTpX0E3E
I shrugged. “ I don’t usually care Luke.”228Please respect copyright.PENANAHUAcJJOgg2
He chuckled and nodded. “ We are talking about Prom.”228Please respect copyright.PENANAvXKa7YMmFJ
“ Prom?”228Please respect copyright.PENANAmgFxDaptsN
He nodded and smiled.228Please respect copyright.PENANAbhhaJnWSKw
I shook my head.228Please respect copyright.PENANAEYJgmRb6sQ
“ Sucks to be you guys.”228Please respect copyright.PENANAd6pqfeUv6I
They all turned towards me.228Please respect copyright.PENANA8pEYop1ffP
“ Why?” A blonde haired guy with hazel eyes, called Simon said.228Please respect copyright.PENANAHl8sNmiI8i
I looked at Simon, then at Luke, at Dominique and at my other two friends, Gavin and Monique.228Please respect copyright.PENANAa1WSvhK10W
“ You guys are probably going crazy about if your crushe will go with you or not.”228Please respect copyright.PENANA0bLgfiFL4H
They all looked at me.228Please respect copyright.PENANA8eZqe3xAtn
I sighed. “ Dominique and Monique, you girls are twins. Use it to your advantage.”228Please respect copyright.PENANAFOHp93UBEU
Then I turned to the guys. “ Gavin, the girl you like is head over heels for you. Look at you.”228Please respect copyright.PENANAGSjOAELPd9
He chuckled. His blue eyes sparkled with his hazel hair.228Please respect copyright.PENANA12vZnzU9vT
“ Simon, if you ask her she will say yes, I’m sure.”228Please respect copyright.PENANA2lXOXO9ih1
Then I turned to Luke. “ I have nothing for you.”228Please respect copyright.PENANA3NfiH5swzO
Luke slammed his head and they all chuckled.228Please respect copyright.PENANAUGiuxYLIvW
When the others were immersed into their Prom talk, Luke turned to me.228Please respect copyright.PENANAS35hyz2HJ1
“ Hey princess.” He smiled, flashing his perfect pearl teeth.228Please respect copyright.PENANAQOB0iQmBBP
“ Your beauty makes me sick.”228Please respect copyright.PENANAPiBrc1Sc8u
He burst into laughter and picked a strand of my hair.228Please respect copyright.PENANA4nw9EZ39Sh
“ Why didn’t you have anything to say to me. ?”228Please respect copyright.PENANAJfgilSg7lR
I looked at him and smiled softly. “ Because I know who you wanna take to prom.”228Please respect copyright.PENANAMxPR21dZ0I
“ Do you ?”228Please respect copyright.PENANAlTv59zIBQC
“ Yeah and you know she hates these kinds of things.”228Please respect copyright.PENANAvpgO3bKcec
He chuckled and nodded. “ Unfortunately. Do you think I could convince her to at least go with me for this one?”228Please respect copyright.PENANARuUenEjj89
I sighed and rubbed my temples. Luke grabbed my hand in his.228Please respect copyright.PENANAPuV11rEPM2
“ Just this once. I won’t even ask you out again.”228Please respect copyright.PENANALimusLc0o2
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-”228Please respect copyright.PENANASY6Hc7Txpv
He shook his head and cut me short. “ I know Mar. Don’t worry.”228Please respect copyright.PENANAhlcNe8AuHq
I sighed and looked down at my half eaten food.228Please respect copyright.PENANA9LByTitLlZ
“ Just this once. Before you leave.”228Please respect copyright.PENANAKzCxWwAFXS
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.228Please respect copyright.PENANAYxoCWgqyRa
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.228Please respect copyright.PENANA637ByN03PB
“ Mar?”228Please respect copyright.PENANAWzFNIB2888
I looked at Luke, he was gazing into my eyes hopeful.228Please respect copyright.PENANAG8FkEmCC6m
“ Okay.”228Please respect copyright.PENANAi9LVmItU7E
His face lit up. “ Seriously?”228Please respect copyright.PENANAhm6pLS1LHZ
I chuckled and nodded. He hugged me to him and laughed.228Please respect copyright.PENANAyR2TLsNg0F
“ Thank you!”228Please respect copyright.PENANAJM7yUIBi5Q
“ No, thank you. When I come back, if you will still be interested, I’ll take you back on that date offer.”228Please respect copyright.PENANAUKJUJuUiO0
His eyes pierced me with his thoughts. “ I will always have only you in my mind.”228Please respect copyright.PENANAriB4PUgb9x
I smiled softly. I smile because I know that it wasn’t true.228Please respect copyright.PENANA4xNz9BqlWb
“ Hey baby sis, you ready for today?” My big brother came near our table.228Please respect copyright.PENANAlKUj4iHRPt
I’m pretty sure that the whole cafeteria just stopped talking.228Please respect copyright.PENANAvb8y8xu3PN
Even my friends looked at him.228Please respect copyright.PENANAyqhq3bxdYM
“ Yeah.”228Please respect copyright.PENANA9znZKRL6rr
He smiled and ruffled my hair. “ Sweet, I’ll wait outside.” He jogged back outside.228Please respect copyright.PENANA3sPRYEzX3L
When I turned around, everyone was looking at me.228Please respect copyright.PENANAdRSBcDprE2
“ Your brother makes an old ladies hormones work again.”228Please respect copyright.PENANAB39Wbtn0H3
“ Gross.”228Please respect copyright.PENANAPPve85ivDC
I picked my bag and got up from the table.228Please respect copyright.PENANA0yWKjc1M7Z
“ 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.”228Please respect copyright.PENANAhFg6WcRqR6
The guys chuckled but the girls sighed.228Please respect copyright.PENANAWK51SF4XTM
Dominique jumped in her seat. “ Oh, I forgot. The theme is the 1950’s”228Please respect copyright.PENANAkygfu84HaF
My eyes went wide and a huge grin spread from my lips.228Please respect copyright.PENANAMikjqsZoG8
She smiled and shook her head. “ I knew you would like it. I tried to make it possible but on one condition.”228Please respect copyright.PENANAcsglLvQeyZ
My smile went back into a normal light.228Please respect copyright.PENANAF5uzmVp1p1
“ What condition?”228Please respect copyright.PENANA916maYV6JC
“ That you sing a couple of songs until the singer comes.” Her face looked at me with promise.228Please respect copyright.PENANAGHKbxNVGCO
I hit my hand on my head. “ You know how much I hate singing in public.”228Please respect copyright.PENANAXIYEZyY3wI
“ I know but they asked for you. They know you have a voice of an angel.”228Please respect copyright.PENANAjYgdPZ731s
I rolled my eyes. “ I don’t.”228Please respect copyright.PENANAsI3fIos1WY
“ You do.” Luke intervened.228Please respect copyright.PENANAQhAU21oTVJ
“ Not helping.”228Please respect copyright.PENANAVLK2SEE5nV
He chuckled and put his hand under his chin.228Please respect copyright.PENANA6V7M9n3uat
“ You are going anyway, why not amuse them.” He said winking.228Please respect copyright.PENANAIpbDXuPE3N
I groaned.228Please respect copyright.PENANAXleG8LFdlu
Then I turned to Dominique, “ I hate you.”228Please respect copyright.PENANAwdrnRrVfQ6
I turned in my heel and walked away.228Please respect copyright.PENANAYkDGnZTGB2
“ Love you too.” She yelled.228Please respect copyright.PENANALAFwMm4b2O
When I arrived near my brother, his usual posse where around him.228Please respect copyright.PENANAJjLWXFPlc0
“ About time.” He said.228Please respect copyright.PENANA2NDOOh4279
“ Don’t start.”228Please respect copyright.PENANAwIdF8amsxZ
Dario put his arms around my shoulders. “ What’s wrong cupcake?”228Please respect copyright.PENANAImCOFD0jAe
My brother glared at him but he kept his hands around my shoulder.228Please respect copyright.PENANAnfGOAUeh1f
“ Seems like I’m going to have to sing at Prom.”228Please respect copyright.PENANAVDUmD89sVC
They all looked at me and then burst into a fit of laughter.228Please respect copyright.PENANArevrqI8h8V
“ Very funny.”228Please respect copyright.PENANAJVbrAG015U
I grabbed my bike and walked away.228Please respect copyright.PENANASt43Qo3Ket
The boys still laughing followed me.228Please respect copyright.PENANA6WeYti9v63
Elijah put his arms around my shoulder but kept laughing.228Please respect copyright.PENANAxC7feUIoL3
“ Sorry, but we all know how you get when you go on stage.”228Please respect copyright.PENANA4hKBDl0ogj
I punched him in the stomach.228Please respect copyright.PENANAsLgWAR9jMy
“ Just because I vomited on the judges one time, ONE TIME, people.”228Please respect copyright.PENANABwjqjkBsY8
They all burst into another fit of laughter.228Please respect copyright.PENANAfiqdPBOFdO
I climbed onto my bike and paddled away.228Please respect copyright.PENANAmZIFVmsH9w
They called my name but I didn’t care.228Please respect copyright.PENANAjOKSPD2TbZ
When I arrived home, mum and dad had already left for their usual weekend convention.228Please respect copyright.PENANAHE4vanqOOh
The boys should be arriving soon, so I took the opportunity to shower before they arrive.228Please respect copyright.PENANAm1cbJiBbic
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.228Please respect copyright.PENANAe0tH9Xnte4
