This, Is My Story

This, Is My Story: Prom

 Lane  views me in the mirror that stands in front of me, he pouts as he poses pondering and snaps his finger as a wide smile appears on his face. he quickly leans over and places his head on my right shoulder.

"Think Pink" He whispers in my ear and he quickly jerks my chair to the right and rests his head on my left shoulder.

"Calming Blue?" I ask him giving my thinking face

"Glorious Green!" He says panning his hand in the air from left to right.

"Glistening Gold" I say with all seriousness.

We pause and he turns the chair to face me, I study his face and can tell exactly what he was thinking.

"Stirling Silver!" We say as one and burst into smile. Lane gets back behind me and faces the chair to the mirror again. He moves my hair around in all different directions trying to find a hair style. 

"Waves maybe?" I suggest to him.

"Classic Curls, may be what everyone has but it's a definite yes" he says with a high ego.

"Color!" I say randomly just thinking that I'm not in Effy's control any longer

"And what happened to being on a leash?"  

"It snapped" 

"That's my girl" he says as he goes into the back room and brings out a mixing bowl, the dye and aluminum foil. 

"All over or just peek-a-boo?" He asks. 

"Surprise Me!" I say feeling as if I can do what ever the hell I want. I take a Vogue from the styling table in front of me and I flip through the pages, Lane separates my hair and brushes on the dye. I notice a cute outfit

" Prom?" I Ask Lane showing him the page. He shakes his head with aluminum between his lips . I go back to flipping through Vogue. Lane Finishes and Nudges me out of the chair. I get up

" How long?" I ask him

" 30, 40?" He says and I walk to Jessi.

Jessi is the nail stylist, she's about 4'11 and has various colored hair which has faded a little. I walk up her her and smile, I sit in the client seat and I wait for Jessi to finish with her other Client. After about 5 minutes she comes to my table and sits down, she pauses then gets back to reality.

"Haven't seen you here in a while" She says happy as ever

"Busy"

"Finals? Regents?"

"Correct!"

"Fuck them all, they;re all just fucking number ya know?" Her expression goes to serious as hell, which scared me a bit.

"May just be number and all but you have to at least seem as if you care about them" I say all matter of fact sounding which wasn't what I wanted it to sound like.

Jessi Stares at me blinks, narrows her left eye at me then rummages through her things and finds her nail buffer. She makes a Ummm sound and I curious

"What?" I ask her confused as hell 

"Someone's changed you!" She says 

"No Not really" I defend myself

"Indeed there is someone, a girl, she's changing your perspective" 

"Most definitely not a girl at all" I look over at the door and see Joshua, I bite my lip and Jessi turns around. Joshua comes over to me and kisses me on the forehead then walks to the other section of the place where the dresses are.

"Or A Boy" Jessi says concentrating on my nails

I playfully hit her on the head and tell her to knock it off

"Don't get too attached" she says looking at my nails all dreamy eyed

"I know" 

"College Will bring new people and Summer will end many things" 

I pause " You sound like a fortune cookie"

"Sorry, giving a lecture" Jessi says as she regains her happy Vally Girl personality.

We go silents for about 10 minutes until she gets to the painting part.

"What Color?" She asks

"I have no idea, just put coat for now then I'll come back to you" I tell her

She agrees then puts the coat of clear nail polish and lets me go. I get up and go to the  dress section where Joshua is now pondering at dresses
