As Doris Day - Dream a little dream of me, I twirled around with my 1950’s spotted dress.334Please respect copyright.PENANAuRGrWbObjr
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANA2JStaEONCO
A dark-haired guy turned his green gaze towards me. “ Mar, in what world are you living at?”334Please respect copyright.PENANAsgl7ExE1UL
I shrugged. “ I don’t usually care Luke.”334Please respect copyright.PENANA0tJ2t7EOZt
He chuckled and nodded. “ We are talking about Prom.”334Please respect copyright.PENANANJ63hKCOup
“ Prom?”334Please respect copyright.PENANAEgHORC9sgV
He nodded and smiled.334Please respect copyright.PENANAsFjN4pl1nE
I shook my head.334Please respect copyright.PENANAMYJRDQgn0p
“ Sucks to be you guys.”334Please respect copyright.PENANAVrG62ZoVPZ
They all turned towards me.334Please respect copyright.PENANA5rX6j6GFLZ
“ Why?” A blonde haired guy with hazel eyes, called Simon said.334Please respect copyright.PENANAB8ijXUiJ2y
I looked at Simon, then at Luke, at Dominique and at my other two friends, Gavin and Monique.334Please respect copyright.PENANAp6jfm6oLL0
“ You guys are probably going crazy about if your crushe will go with you or not.”334Please respect copyright.PENANAgOxa9palRu
They all looked at me.334Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7WeZmuFJj
I sighed. “ Dominique and Monique, you girls are twins. Use it to your advantage.”334Please respect copyright.PENANAFY5dw8J2J2
Then I turned to the guys. “ Gavin, the girl you like is head over heels for you. Look at you.”334Please respect copyright.PENANAAgnG9geWbD
He chuckled. His blue eyes sparkled with his hazel hair.334Please respect copyright.PENANAHpj0oTpCFq
“ Simon, if you ask her she will say yes, I’m sure.”334Please respect copyright.PENANAMJcij7tSSk
Then I turned to Luke. “ I have nothing for you.”334Please respect copyright.PENANAiJaBmLRZDm
Luke slammed his head and they all chuckled.334Please respect copyright.PENANARuMYljznOE
When the others were immersed into their Prom talk, Luke turned to me.334Please respect copyright.PENANA4fnVLDVPB0
“ Hey princess.” He smiled, flashing his perfect pearl teeth.334Please respect copyright.PENANAPO2TKieNLS
“ Your beauty makes me sick.”334Please respect copyright.PENANAVBy55tZJNl
He burst into laughter and picked a strand of my hair.334Please respect copyright.PENANAmy3Zb9OY42
“ Why didn’t you have anything to say to me. ?”334Please respect copyright.PENANAnOZGDFGbUW
I looked at him and smiled softly. “ Because I know who you wanna take to prom.”334Please respect copyright.PENANAuSA5PUrEDq
“ Do you ?”334Please respect copyright.PENANAjk8qjtb9bh
“ Yeah and you know she hates these kinds of things.”334Please respect copyright.PENANAie9DXg2hFs
He chuckled and nodded. “ Unfortunately. Do you think I could convince her to at least go with me for this one?”334Please respect copyright.PENANA2Vwfedvwmm
I sighed and rubbed my temples. Luke grabbed my hand in his.334Please respect copyright.PENANAtUShgEbXTE
“ Just this once. I won’t even ask you out again.”334Please respect copyright.PENANADNx33frW7v
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-”334Please respect copyright.PENANA59oaQxr6r2
He shook his head and cut me short. “ I know Mar. Don’t worry.”334Please respect copyright.PENANAW6vu8xljCq
I sighed and looked down at my half eaten food.334Please respect copyright.PENANAFbK3nRoZFq
“ Just this once. Before you leave.”334Please respect copyright.PENANATCUCnIXTD1
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANAArj8DBGtAt
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANA6lUMbvdRtC
“ Mar?”334Please respect copyright.PENANASVLFv9McUp
I looked at Luke, he was gazing into my eyes hopeful.334Please respect copyright.PENANAM5k2i66ZCn
“ Okay.”334Please respect copyright.PENANAadnIKwj18l
His face lit up. “ Seriously?”334Please respect copyright.PENANAyv1t8ekdgJ
I chuckled and nodded. He hugged me to him and laughed.334Please respect copyright.PENANATZyLNHVZeB
“ Thank you!”334Please respect copyright.PENANAe04M2Gxurd
“ No, thank you. When I come back, if you will still be interested, I’ll take you back on that date offer.”334Please respect copyright.PENANAthSIKMOfs2
His eyes pierced me with his thoughts. “ I will always have only you in my mind.”334Please respect copyright.PENANAx674aL43VR
I smiled softly. I smile because I know that it wasn’t true.334Please respect copyright.PENANA3QXVJNMpc6
“ Hey baby sis, you ready for today?” My big brother came near our table.334Please respect copyright.PENANAZObZ11p2hL
I’m pretty sure that the whole cafeteria just stopped talking.334Please respect copyright.PENANASPLJdvZ9fW
Even my friends looked at him.334Please respect copyright.PENANAlWq2fhpBMk
“ Yeah.”334Please respect copyright.PENANAtLZlfmO6ex
He smiled and ruffled my hair. “ Sweet, I’ll wait outside.” He jogged back outside.334Please respect copyright.PENANAA3Dw8GRD44
When I turned around, everyone was looking at me.334Please respect copyright.PENANAoH1UA1DDun
“ Your brother makes an old ladies hormones work again.”334Please respect copyright.PENANAjE0prClZxj
“ Gross.”334Please respect copyright.PENANAGwUB8EWtUw
I picked my bag and got up from the table.334Please respect copyright.PENANAwPtBu0KJEf
“ 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.”334Please respect copyright.PENANA2sN9opseKZ
The guys chuckled but the girls sighed.334Please respect copyright.PENANAmEYtK9cMae
Dominique jumped in her seat. “ Oh, I forgot. The theme is the 1950’s”334Please respect copyright.PENANAjqAYkKcbgh
My eyes went wide and a huge grin spread from my lips.334Please respect copyright.PENANAk2uqthDrte
She smiled and shook her head. “ I knew you would like it. I tried to make it possible but on one condition.”334Please respect copyright.PENANAzU0TOGFomU
My smile went back into a normal light.334Please respect copyright.PENANAUmQSSlHckW
“ What condition?”334Please respect copyright.PENANAO1LyE7cIFT
“ That you sing a couple of songs until the singer comes.” Her face looked at me with promise.334Please respect copyright.PENANAH07ZnKiOHn
I hit my hand on my head. “ You know how much I hate singing in public.”334Please respect copyright.PENANA75vM6J8jFp
“ I know but they asked for you. They know you have a voice of an angel.”334Please respect copyright.PENANABvYQGZNQgA
I rolled my eyes. “ I don’t.”334Please respect copyright.PENANAtoX03sM3Im
“ You do.” Luke intervened.334Please respect copyright.PENANA4YcNH8doCJ
“ Not helping.”334Please respect copyright.PENANAFLIeB0Jc7v
He chuckled and put his hand under his chin.334Please respect copyright.PENANAcmlTIyrj34
“ You are going anyway, why not amuse them.” He said winking.334Please respect copyright.PENANAyz1mfhCCXt
I groaned.334Please respect copyright.PENANAZnQnkHaSHx
Then I turned to Dominique, “ I hate you.”334Please respect copyright.PENANAernCPHofh0
I turned in my heel and walked away.334Please respect copyright.PENANAWZF1LBG636
“ Love you too.” She yelled.334Please respect copyright.PENANAJUUTTfgmA8
When I arrived near my brother, his usual posse where around him.334Please respect copyright.PENANAsoNBq5bdyH
“ About time.” He said.334Please respect copyright.PENANANXeIzJL2DL
“ Don’t start.”334Please respect copyright.PENANAfmIOka4hri
Dario put his arms around my shoulders. “ What’s wrong cupcake?”334Please respect copyright.PENANArRYI6TBmWS
My brother glared at him but he kept his hands around my shoulder.334Please respect copyright.PENANALwGIzRAjbf
“ Seems like I’m going to have to sing at Prom.”334Please respect copyright.PENANAzWkyhp7d8s
They all looked at me and then burst into a fit of laughter.334Please respect copyright.PENANAkA4zZvUnxo
“ Very funny.”334Please respect copyright.PENANAXkcIoHgt2g
I grabbed my bike and walked away.334Please respect copyright.PENANAMAs3DMsULF
The boys still laughing followed me.334Please respect copyright.PENANAcApB364XNY
Elijah put his arms around my shoulder but kept laughing.334Please respect copyright.PENANApgGibD6huy
“ Sorry, but we all know how you get when you go on stage.”334Please respect copyright.PENANA2ilIjE6H16
I punched him in the stomach.334Please respect copyright.PENANAMN2tVcfe3o
“ Just because I vomited on the judges one time, ONE TIME, people.”334Please respect copyright.PENANAgcyYA4T0nq
They all burst into another fit of laughter.334Please respect copyright.PENANAeKdfwmbzX1
I climbed onto my bike and paddled away.334Please respect copyright.PENANA4HR5BCkWty
They called my name but I didn’t care.334Please respect copyright.PENANAesC4MGQrZb
When I arrived home, mum and dad had already left for their usual weekend convention.334Please respect copyright.PENANAytAaUmVRbv
The boys should be arriving soon, so I took the opportunity to shower before they arrive.334Please respect copyright.PENANAJGEPx4UmXB
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANAVmHfPC2Mid
