chapter 5 homecoming part 2

when we got to my grandmother's house I opened my door and I went inside and give her a hug she was so excited and thrilled and happy with how my hair looked. I then go and eat the food that she made. Then i help her get ready for the others who would be coming to the house to take pictures and help me finish getting ready for him coming.

By the time we were done my cousin bina came with my sister and her kids. This is because she was my makeup artist and nail person. My make up was a smokey look and it was amazing and I couldn't recognize myself. it truly was as if I was wearing a mask. ironic because the theme was masquerade ball. My nails were silver and they were shaped like a cat claw. They were so sharp that they could probably Pierce skin. I then got into my dress and my heels. my mom I came into the room hug me and it will start crying. she said "you look so beautiful I'm so grown up I can't believe you grew up so much already so fast. your father would you go pick up Brad they will be here soon". when she said that my nerves got even more. I was so nervous about what he was going to talk to him about and to see if I'd be going to the dance alone. but before I got too much into my head with my thoughts my cousin told me to go into the living room and we all started taking pictures of me bunch of different ones.

There are pictures of me with my grandparents me with my sister be with my cousin pictures of me and her kids and pictures with my other family that were there. when my cousin and now I'm set my father got back with Brad I ran into the kitchen and wait until I heard the front door my grandmother's house open and wait for them to talk. once I knew they were inside I slowly walked in and then say anything. when Brad looked at me his jaw dropped and his eyes widened. when they say some of this drop dead gorgeous that you can't speak that was him and his reaction. I couldn't believe his reaction and it made me even more shy. my family smiled and were so overjoyed. after the 2 minutes he finally told me that I look beautiful. my family then started taking pictures of him and I him and I with my parents and all the other type of combinations you could think of for pictures. my grandmother came out with cups a pile of coffee and cookies. they were all talking to Brad while I was in the kitchen trying to come down. my cousin came in they give me a hug and asked me what was wrong. I told her that "I was nervous about what other people would think and say". she then told "me not to worry about the way that while others say and what they would do but what I felt like and how I liked how I looked. that all that mattered was that I was happy and I was content."
