The Tomboy

Chapter VI The party

I arrived home early and saw my mom in the kitchen as always.

"Hey Mom" I say to her. "What you cooking?". I dropped my book down.

"Hey baby, I'm baking not cooking". Mom says opening the oven to place the cupcake in and close it. "So guess what?."

"What?". I asked.

"I'm making your favorite for dinner." Mom says smiling with excitement in her eyes.

"Oh."

"Oh?.... What do you mean oh?." Mom says, her smile begins to fade.

"I don't feel like eating anything for dinner and I'll be heading to bed early." I say hoping she'll buy it.

"Well I guess i'll cook that tomorrow then". She says taking off her apron

"Where are the rests?". I ask.

"They went out".

"Ok...what about him"I ask again.

"Diana he's you're father, you address him as dad." Mom looks at me sadly, she sighs. "You're father is on a business trip".

"Whatever... probably cheating with a slut" I mumbled.

"Diana!...watch your tone...he's changed".

"Yeah right...for you...you know what he can be a priest for all I care but to me he'll never change." I spat back at my mom leaving the kitchen, heading to my room.

I opened my room and close the door and walk towards my table and toss the invitation paper, I walk to my bed and dropped tiredly on it, I turned and look at the invitation paper on the table for some seconds then averting my gaze to the ceiling as I stared for minutes before drifting to deep sleep.

Buzzzzzzz! Buzzzzzzz! Buzzzzzzz!...

Diana slowly opens her eyes, her phone vibrates on the bed counter, she looks at the caller and saw its mabel and instantly pick it up.

"Hello..." I say in groggy voice.

"Hey are you ready?." Mabel ask.

"Huh?...ready for what?..."

"Diana... seriously have you forgotten about the party?".

"s**t!." Diana says quickly getting up from her bed, she looks at the time which reads 8:42pm

"What did you say?." Mabel ask.

"I said NO!... I'm coming over to your side, I'll sneak out of the house."

"NO!. um....why don't I come over to your house, I'll climb through you're window."

"Umm...ok?."

"Great I hope you already showered and picked out an outfit... right?."

"Yeah. yeah...i have." Diana says quickly.

"Ok see you in eight minutes."

Immediately the call ended, I dashed to the bathroom and turn on the water, it was really cold, no time for heater. I wrapped a towel round my hair to dry off and wore a black shirt and a red flannel jacket with khakis and black sneakers. Next up is my hair, I took my hand dryer and dryed my damp hair, combing it for minutes till it was dryed. I looked in the mirror and put my dark brown hair into a ponytail. I went to my table to grab my bag but couldn't find it, then it hit me that I left my bag probably at the infirmiry.

"s**t!." I say sitting on my bed. "Are you f*****g kidding me." I mumble to myself.

I hear tappings on my window as I opened it to let Mabel in, she wore a purple crop top shirt that exposes a bit of her boobs and she wore a mini midnight blue skirt which matches her makeup with fringes round it that shows her chocolate thighs with a wedge shoes and hoops ear rings.

"Woah... mabel isn't this too much?." I say pointing at her.

"No it isn't, we are going to par-tay!" Mabel say dancing."

"Ok. Sure. Let's go."

"No no no no, you're not wearing that to the party along side me." Mabel says eyeing my outfit in disgust.

I roll my eyes at her, "what's wrong with what I'm wearing?. Jesus Mabel can we just go already."

"Are you wearing a bikini?." Mabel says as she puts her hands on her waist.

"No...why the hell will I wear a bikini."

"Duh!...that's what the party's all about girl, didn't you see it on the invitation?..."

"No". I say. Mabel went to my table and took the invitation paper and pointing where bikini is included.

I scoff at her "There is no way I'm wearing a bikini." I say sitting on the bed.

Few minutes later....

"I can't believe I agreed to this". I mumble in frustration.

"Ok so what do we have in here." Mabel says going through my wardrobe. "My God you don't own any bikinis or heels or even gowns."

Mabel sigh, she sits on the bed beside me.

"Come on Mabel can't we just go?." I ask her.

"No we need to look fabulous, haven't you ever heard of first impression matters?."

'like who are we even impressing?.' I mumble.

"I heard that!". Mabel says. She sighs putting her head on her palms. "Wait...your sister!" She says getting up smiling at me.

"What about her?". I ask.

"Her wardrobe. I'm pretty sure she have some girly clothes. Come on what are we waiting for let's go ask her!." She says grabbing me.

Moments later....

"No" Jennifer says bluntly looking at us.

"Oh come on Jennifer, can you please please please!...spare your sister one of your clothes and bikini." Mabel pleaded to Jennifer.

"No." Jennifer says in a deadpan tone. I should report you to Mom that you're going out to party...it's like what elder sisters does right?." She ask in a reluctant manner.

Mabel begins to cry as she kneels down at Jennifer and grab her legs. "Please Jennifer don't report us, please, please, please."

Jennifer was getting uncomfortable. "Ugh...fine already. Now get off of me." She says in a monotone voice, she walks past us existing her room.

"Great." Mabel says standing up quickly, arranging herself. She walk towards the wardrobe and opens it.

"I'm in heaven." Mabel says, she begins hunting for clothes. "So what excuse did you tell your mom about the party?.". Mabel ask examining a green gown.

"Told her I'll be going to bed early. You?."I ask.

"Same thing.....Here how about this?." She says showing it to me.

Mabel brought out a stunning sleeveless black gown that have a thin strap, it's simple and plain but it's beautiful, it also matches a nice set on black block heels boots and a red studded leather jacket. For the bikini it a two piece, it's a borduex red with silver shimmering glitter on it. It's really nice.

"Here now put it on for me to see."

Few moments later....

I walk towards Mabel as she's typing on her phone, she felt my presence and looks up at me with awe in her eyes.

"OMG...." Mabel says standing up.

"What!?...is it that bad?...I should probably take it off." I say sighing in attempt to take the dress off.

"OMG....No Diana... you're look beautiful in the dress." She smiles at me as I smile back too.

"Now for some makeup and getting your hair done".

"Please don't go too overboard".

"Nah...don't worry I got you".

20 minutes later....

"Aaaaand done!. Wow Mabel you've created a diva." Mabel says to herself.

'Diana walk towards the mirror, she stare at the mirror for minutes, she couldn't even believe who she saw in the mirror.'

"I- I- I look different. I can't believe what I'm seeing...is this really me?." I say still staring at myself in the mirror.

"Diana you are beautiful makeup or not" Mabel say behind me, she placed her hands on my shoulders.

"I got to say, you did a good job with my hair though. You straightened the s**t out of it." I and mabel chuckle.

"So come on what are we waiting for, let's go before your mom finds out I'm in your house and how we're fully dolled up."

We sneaked back to my room, locking the door behind me and I grab the invitation paper while we both climb out of the window.
