I have finished my maths exam today and is sooo glad that I decided to upload a chapter :)

please vote and comment! TaL have slipped down from what's hot and romance's lists!

'Relax Anna, you just have something on your nose.' Will said laughing as he flicked something off my nose, I turned beetroot red and muttered something incoherent. Will laughed and pinched my cheek. 'You are too cute for your own good Annabear.'

Oh my god, he nicknamed me! My face turned redder than it's humanly possible, Will laughed again and half pushed me away from the stall. 'Go on, I think I see your friends by the Drama club stall.'

I rushed away gladly, taking deep breaths so that my cheeks will cool down. When I reached Melissa and Hannah I found that they were being pestered by the lead drama guy in our school Quinton Lessig (weird name, I know, he is quite good looking, but super up tight and into drama) to sign up to be understudies or background singers and dancers, they are always short of people to stand around.

I rolled my eyes. ' Quinton, we are in the drama club because we do drama.' Quinton frowned and checked the list of names they had from last year. I tried not to roll my eyes again, he probably didn't even remember our names.

'Wait, what's your names?' he asked, there I go, see, this guy is completely oblivious to everything other that has nothing to do with drama.

'Julianna Montrose and Melissa Tang.' I said, and sure enough we were on the list. Quinton looked at me again and looked slight confused, since I only gave him two names and there were three of us.

'What about you? Aren't you a freshman?' He asked, deciding that I was the one whose name was left out. I shook my head and he started looking down the list again, I took opportunity of his distraction to usher Melissa and Hannah away. 'I was one of the pig last year.' I answered, he looked enlightened and started to attack some poor people who were standing close by, I immediately rushed off after Melissa and Hannah before more club members started to harass me.

We milled around stalls from stalls for the next hour or so, we almost got dragged into signing up for the music society, and made an escape just in time. Our head music girl Alice was the most enthusiastic person I have ever seen, and her passion is quite infectious, but I am not good at singing and I don't fancy making a fool out of myself.

The rest of the week flew by very quickly, I only sat with Will again on Friday lunch time due to time table issues (the student body is too big for one lunch period), Andy talked to me normally again and helped me out during maths class (thank god!), everyone else seemed to have accepted that I have changed by now and no one gave me any more hassles over it.

Also the rumors of me and Will going out was spreading around the school like wild fire, especially since Will had started to walk me to my locker every morning. Alison and I had became pretty good friends and she offered to help me get ready for the party and dinner. Everyone are now much nicer to me because of Will and Alison, and I occasionally hang out with Will's friends too, who are actually nice once you get to know them (some are, others *cough* Torie *cough* are not). Life were going pretty good and before I knew it, it was Saturday.

I woke up to the sound of my phone buzzing, I groaned and grabbed it from my night stand, I never used to leave my phone on all night, but Alison insisted that I do so that she could reach me for 'emergencies'. I opened my eye reluctantly and found that it was a text from Alison, saying that she would be here at 3pm, and asked whether or not I am ready to party.

I smiled and texted back, Alison is one of the most outgoing and lovely girl I have ever known. She is pretty and funny and just perfect, if I am a guy I would have fall head over heels for her. But I am not, haha.

OK, I sound a bit like a idiot.

I looked at my phone, it's only 10am, thank god Alison didn't wake me up too early. Once when I slept over at Hannah's she accidentally set her alarm on at 5am and woke me up screaming we are going to be late on a Sunday. Let's just say I was less than happy about it. I contemplated going back to bed, but I was fully awake by then and decided to just go and get breakfast.

After breakfast I floated around my house for the entire morning, too nervous to do any works and too agitated to stay in one place for more than half an hour. Dylan was still asleep, Gina went out with her friends to shopping around twelve (she goes to the mall at least once a week, if not more.), so I had the place more or less to myself. I watched TV, played on the computer, did some homework, texted some people, blasted music (which woke Dylan up, he wasn't very happy about it, but it was past noon, so I ignored him) to kill time.

Alison arrived right on the clock, with bags and bags of stuff. I frowned at her bags while she smiled at me. ' It takes a lot to get ready for a date, since this is your first one, I need to be prepared, now go and take a shower.'

I showed Alison into my room where she immediately started to pour out all the content of her bags, which consisted of clothes, make-up and hair straightener and hair products, and more clothes. She saw me watching and raise an eyebrow. 'I brought everything I have that would fit you, and other stuff just in case I need them.'

'You know I have clothes and make up too, if not Gina must have them.' I said, grabbing some clothes and headed towards the shower. Alison ignored my comment and started plugging hair straightener and curlers in and started raiding my wardrobe.

By the time I finished shower my room looked even worst then they did when Gina laid everything out in preparation for the first day of school, Alison was busy running back and forth matching outfit after outfit.

'Ali, what have you done to my room?' I asked, feeling defeated, it's going to take aeons to tidy up, not that I was very tidy to begin with. Alison rolled her eyes and continued with her 'quest'. She frowned at the combination of clothes in front of her, then nodded gravely.

'OK, put this on before I start doing your hair and make up.' She said and handed me the clothes, I looked at what she had picked out. It consisted of a pair of dark blue skinny jeans, a white flowy halter top with bohemian-styled beaded straps and a black leather jacket. She fumbled around in her bags and the pile of clothes at the foot of the bed and brought out a pair of low-heeled studded black ankle boots. At least she knew that I would probably not survive in those pin-size heels.

'Oh, I almost forgot.' Alison slapped herself on the forehead lightly and turned to dig something out of the pile of clothes again. I watched her curiously. 'Here, put this on.' she said handing me a nude bra, I immediately turned bright red, Alison laughed at my reaction and pushed me into the bathroom to get change.

After I got dressed she set me down on a chair and started pulling my hair, I managed to grab hold of a book to read as she did my hair. I could smell my hair burning slightly by the heat of the curlers, god, I felt sorry for my hair.

It took an hour for Alison to be satisfied with the state of my hair. She curled them into loose spiral curls and pinned half of my hair up then hair sprayed it (majorly, I am so not going to be without washing it off first). By then it was nearly five and an hour until Will is due to pick me up.

She hurriedly started applying make up on me, which took quite a long time because she kept wiping it off my face and putting them on again because she wasn't satisfied with it. When she finally finished I quickly put the boots on while she started to pile lip gloss and stuff into a small white clutch for me.

I glanced at myself in the mirror, Alison had done a silvery white smokey eye for me, with a purple tinged dark red lip colour. I looked like I am my sister's age. Alison smiled at me through the mirror and then handed me the clutch.

'You look hot, Will will so have a heart attack when he sees you haha!' She said giggling wildly, my heart fluttered uncontrollably as the door bell rang, I was about to rush down when Alison put a hand on me to stop me going to the door while she ran down the stairs. 'I will go and get it, you can take your time and descend down the stairs!' She giggled again before running off.

Gina poked her head through my door, she had came back an hour ago from shopping and must have heard the doorbell. ' You look great!' she exclaimed, ' enjoy yourself with Will.' she added, then dug something out from her pocket and handed it to me. It was a taser.

'Just in case anything happened.' She said, giving me a wink before returning to her room. I smiled and put it in my clutch. Better safe than sorry, who knows what might happen, drunk guys are pretty common at a party, anyway I wonder where did she get it from.

'Anna.' Alison shouted for me, I took a deep breath and walked down the stairs. Will and Anna was talking about something but then Will caught sight of me walking down, he stopped talking and his jaw fell slight opened. My heart started to speed up in my chest, I smiled at him. It's always good to see someone's jaw drops because of you.

Will regained himself when I reached the door, Alison was looking at him with an amused look. Will coughed and tried to say something.

'Um..wow, you look um, great Anna.' He managed to stutter out, Alison couldn't hold it anymore and a laugh escaped, making me laugh a bit as well, Will blushed from embarrassment and mumbled something incoherent.

'Don't worry about me, you two go and have fun.' Alison said, pushing me out of the door and straight into Will's arms before slamming the door shut. I quickly stood up and straightened my top, while Will tried to find something to do with his hands looking at everywhere but me after he let go of me.

'Um, let's go.' He said, walking me to his car down the pavement and opening the door for me like a gentleman. I got in the car and put my seat belt on while Will got n at the other side. He own one of those convertible cars and he currently had the hood down since the weather is still fairly pleasant. He got in at the other side and started the engine

'Where are we going?' I turned to him and asked, he smiled and gave me a wink.

'You will find out soon enough, it's a surprise.' he answered as we drove off.

I know the title is slightly irrelevant, but it was the best I could think of! please vote and comment :)
