"Shit!"
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4T6RyeGnV
"NOPE!"
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjEYGTWxOR
"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.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bkRBiAhfJ
I give up.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdLc9uo55V
My hands are hurting from moving it around my head for a whole hour and I also only have an hour left.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYusSYgVPpz
I need to hurry.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD916cikoY
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.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugSjIUv4QF
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.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fqsc2lmWa
"Hey, let's go." I tell Max and he pouts. His green eyes narrowing me.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUVdtbgujF
"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.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGYjDUqN2P
The weather isn't too cold and nor too hot. It's just perfect. Just like I hope today will be as well.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPnXwlMES1
"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.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspaieYzXnf
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.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9NjPsueKY
"Love the boots!"
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIxB1fzQY6
"Thanks! I love yours too!" She points at my red and black sneakers.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fJXDO7UUK
I interwine my left arm into hers and we take a stroll around the area.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyQl4Nlgkt
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.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa3dKefv9J
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.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSvSLW0bLR
"I'd like one please." I say with a smile.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui7JcAW3Er
"I'll make it a two for you." She says and a dimple appears on her cheek.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdKpGA678u
"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.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoGPkMehQk
It's lovely. The nutella brownie is warm with the right amount of chewiness. I know these are going to sell out in seconds.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbM6cpJu4o
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.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHpUOmwV7R
"You fully believe that he'll show up?" Alyssa asks and I don't even have to ask who she's talking about.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BeAj2KVyR
Its obviously Nathan.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCyNfliWNr
"Ofcourse! I have this gut feeling that he will walk right through that gate any minute now."
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8IgxaaH1s
"You've gone crazy Mads." Alyssa shakes her head.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp1lq2mML7
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.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1Cgsez3gv
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.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCsydfZX7d
"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.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsZxJjqcqy
Crashing, hit a wall
Right now I need a miracle
Hurry up now, I need a miracle
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4TgF9BZve
Stranded, reaching out
I call your name, but you're not around
I say your name, but you're not around
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5FK8GSjCL
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.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXoKRtxgfu
He looks so adorable.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7ShyTjmFt
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.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBK4Gr8W73
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.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvgH3S4B0c
"Earth to Madison Sinclair?" Alyssa breaks off the trance by waving her hands in front of my eyes.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLakLLB9oFt
"Yes."
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPEeTpw57V
Is all that comes out of my mouth.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY54KMZNi9Q
"So he actually came." Alyssa nudges me in the shoulder.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ICc5IxQfn
"Madison, your cheeks have turned completely pink!"
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZfv2MSOgy
Oh?
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YyDjdhJEb
"What?" I blink and touch my face. Yep. My cheeks are definitely warm.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoWzJAGDz1
"MADISON!!" I hear a loud noise which can only come out of one person's mouth which belongs to lo and behold, Cara Mason.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjnd8TMrA0
"HE- DID YOU- HE'S HERE!!" Cara leaps from her steps and gives me a hug and moves left and right.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4bQh0hBii
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.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wFagU4gFI
"I did, just a moment ago before you came rushing towards me like a monkey."
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyziSWFm3P
"Oops, sorry I can get a bit too much." She apologizes.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfncPrtLUzp
I assure her that its fine and we decide to sneakily take a few pictures of Nathan while he's not paying attention.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2LwzmWO5S
"Uh guys, I'm going to be honest, but you two look like fools." Alyssa says with a concerned look.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxkxkONQH2
"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.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJb6xJckIk
"Oh shit." I hear Cara mumble. I look at her and ask what's up.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspw682LHxc
"I think he looked over here while I was taking a video of him."
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoI2mQgeI8
Uh oh.
518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9rFz9D8wY
This wasn't planned.
