"Shit!"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hFO5dZ1rO
"NOPE!"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9l1lRVf1R
"Why is this not looking the way I imagined it would?!"

I try the outfit I prepped two days ago and it looks fine, great even. But the problem is, my hair is failing to cooperate with me. I made french braid last night after I showered so my hair would look wavy and voluminous but instead it looks frizzy and kind of hideous. I tried styling it in every way possible but it's not working at all.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK34ZcMiU3
I give up.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L6WmIsFiZ
My hands are hurting from moving it around my head for a whole hour and I also only have an hour left.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcyTw2eCcM
I need to hurry.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDT3JBy9xjj
I finalize on straightening my hair and put on a grey cap with the words "SELFIE" written over it in holographic. I tie my red flannel around my waist which I paired with denim jeans and a white shirt and touch up my makeup.

I take a deep breath and go out my bedroom door. I look at my watch and it's 12 AM.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovMSZuweSF
Mom is still sleeping in her room and I decide not to disturb her. She was working all night because of overtime.

Max is tapping his fingers on the kitchen counter. All dressed up and ready to reach the school. I smile when I see him and get strawberry milk from the refrigerator and gulp it down.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaH20CWoxk
"Hey, let's go." I tell Max and he pouts. His green eyes narrowing me.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVESkmZ9Ys
"Finally. You look crazy by the way."

Before I can punch him on the back, he runs off the door and I follow behind him. Meghan told me she'd be there by 8 because she had to set up her stall. I asked if I can help in any way but she told me she can handle it. I'm trying my best not to look excited but I can't help it. I've been looking forward to this day since the day it was announced.

The weather isn't too cold and nor too hot. It's just perfect. Just like I hope today will be as well.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXvh8smKGA
"Hey! Look who's here!" I greet Alyssa as soon as I enter the backgate of our school. It's the wider door that's rarely opened for our assembly.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKafVH7ndi
Max is already gone to his friends the second he walked through the entrance. I swear this brat has no patience.

Aly is wearing a dark blue sweather with ripped jeans. Her hair is bouncing off her shoulders in loose waves. Her beige boots are my favorite part of her outfit.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NgDhw6mtF
"Love the boots!"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrfB0O8Qgo
"Thanks! I love yours too!" She points at my red and black sneakers.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8E8M8lSq1
I interwine my left arm into hers and we take a stroll around the area.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIymtwm9jd
It looks slightly different than usual. There are now a few rides and a trampoline where all the kindergartners are jumping as if they'll be able to fly right out into space. The corners of the school ground are occupied with various types of stalls. Food, games, clothes and soo much more.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbXgqR3wd2
It's not fully crowded yet but more people are slowly coming inside. I spot Meghan's stall and we reach upto her. Her delicious brownies are displayed in a transparent box.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9bSu7c9fP
"I'd like one please." I say with a smile.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWNB3ehiJm
"I'll make it a two for you." She says and a dimple appears on her cheek.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsv0of2xha
"This special offer only stands for you guys." Meghan winks and hands me two brownies wrapped in parchment paper. I pay her and take a bite. Alyssa grabs the other one from the parchment and enjoys it the way I am. Just more carefully. She hates it if anything drops on her clothes. That's why we call her a neat freak. She doesn't mind it because she agrees with the term either way.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PKPORQiQ3
It's lovely. The nutella brownie is warm with the right amount of chewiness. I know these are going to sell out in seconds.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjDmS1QkjA
Alyssa and I continue to check other stalls after we tell Meghan that we'll be back once Jasmine reaches here. She told us she'll be running a little late because her older brother is out for work and as soon as he's back, he'll drop her off along with her little sister, Shaila.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIvoOHZuvL
"You fully believe that he'll show up?" Alyssa asks and I don't even have to ask who she's talking about.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2EgcMN7nZ
Its obviously Nathan.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrPdOGp17Z
"Ofcourse! I have this gut feeling that he will walk right through that gate any minute now."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WkpotoSxS
"You've gone crazy Mads." Alyssa shakes her head.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK01JTwTHO
And maybe she's right. I've never felt this way about anyone before. Sure there were a few crushes but this? This feels more than "just a crush" I don't know how to explain it yet but it's different.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNSj8OFgbV
I turn on my phone and we both click pictures and selfies together. The stage where the kids are running around are being asked to leave by the teachers so that they can set up their mic. The speakers that were blaring soft music now changes to a song I know way too well.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZHcprY1JU
"Oh my god! It's the song by The Chainsmokers!" I can't contain my excitement and jump towards Alyssa who looks at me and grins.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHRZerk3ut
Crashing, hit a wall
Right now I need a miracle
Hurry up now, I need a miracle
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhtR6N7qZO
Stranded, reaching out
I call your name, but you're not around
I say your name, but you're not around
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiDIVH2sCa
It's as if the moment couldn't get any better but it does, because I look towards the entrance and there he is, in a bright red, puffer jacket and grey jeans. The wind blows his hair and he runs his fingers through it. The sunlight reflects from his glasses and he smiles. Darn it.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSh6e0Rl5N
He looks so adorable.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcmUZGQY4B
Everything moves in slow motion when I look at him. As if my mind wants to savor every sight of him and keep the memory of it forever. And the song, the song is like it's speaking my mind.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8xWzmDl4E
I need you, I need you, I need you right now
Yeah, I need you right now
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
I think I'm losing my mind now.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJEsoKNXBs
"Earth to Madison Sinclair?" Alyssa breaks off the trance by waving her hands in front of my eyes.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWxR18u2Ml
"Yes."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoNJUBaGGS
Is all that comes out of my mouth.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dxJgUtIvV
"So he actually came." Alyssa nudges me in the shoulder.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAKm72hbZU
"Madison, your cheeks have turned completely pink!"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxof5un2Bmu
Oh?
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2MeCrDxp9
"What?" I blink and touch my face. Yep. My cheeks are definitely warm.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjFsGGM9Hn
"MADISON!!" I hear a loud noise which can only come out of one person's mouth which belongs to lo and behold, Cara Mason.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcCJKoXeEO
"HE- DID YOU- HE'S HERE!!" Cara leaps from her steps and gives me a hug and moves left and right.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59wbLiQMBm
I laugh and tell her to calm down before everyone looks at her like she's insane. She is, but let's make sure that she isn't kicked out because of her happy outbursts.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOwkVliU0s
"I did, just a moment ago before you came rushing towards me like a monkey."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2gEJ3atPC
"Oops, sorry I can get a bit too much." She apologizes.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3mQ0haWHP
I assure her that its fine and we decide to sneakily take a few pictures of Nathan while he's not paying attention.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib42gK6v0o
"Uh guys, I'm going to be honest, but you two look like fools." Alyssa says with a concerned look.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rMza6CHBd
"And we're proud of it." Cara responds as she sneaks my camera in my hair while I'm facing her while Nathan is behind me, standing a couple of feet away, chatting with his friend.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfyo8xP2Gj
"Oh shit." I hear Cara mumble. I look at her and ask what's up.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNUkllBzY4
"I think he looked over here while I was taking a video of him."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T2Bxs95sg
Uh oh.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19thqcziGI
This wasn't planned.
