Selena's P.O.V.:
"God, why on earth did I even accept this damn invitation ?" I silently curse to myself while standing in front of my wardrobe, eyeing myself in the mirror skeptically while trying on a silky red A-line dress . Piles and piles of dresses, shirts, skirts and trousers were basically covering my bedroom floor by now, as I've been trying to find THE outfit for tonight's stupid class reunion for hours.
"No...that won't do either, way too bright and chic...", I sighed while frantically trying to get a hold of the zipper at the back of the dress. "Good thing I closed the curtains before starting my dress-up session, I'd honestly laugh at myself, the state I'm in right now is just ridiculous.", I thought embarassed, tying up my long chocolate brown hair into a messy bun.
We, that is my former classmates and I, were supposed to reunite four years after graduation at a friend's house tonight at 8pm. Still 2, 5 more hours to go. Time's running out!
That particular friend, that, by the way made me promise to at least show up to get some delicious food, happens to be one of my best friends, Taylor. She definitely has her ways to convince you to do something you really didn't want to do in the first place, trust me. But after all, we've been through thick and thin, so I decided to give tonight a go for her sake and happiness.
Speaking of the devil my phone starts ringing and a photo of Taylor pops up on my screen.
"Hellooo..." I sigh while falling onto my bed backwards, covering my eyes with my free hand.
"Well hello to you, too, and I detect someone's in a grumpy mood.", she giggles.
"This is not funny at all!", I huff. "I mean technically you're the one responsible for the chaotic state my whole bedroom is in right now. And guess what ? I still don't know what to wear. Which is your fault, too. Considering this has been your plan from the start.", I rant on, being partly sarcastic of course, which Taylor knows.
"Hun, I know this is all my fault and I'll sent you my best housemaid as soon as she's finished with preparing all these delicious meals for all these nice - and not so nice people - that will show up at my house tonight. But wait - this housemaid doesn't fucking exist and I'm actually calling you, because, I don't have a damn clue about how to finish all the salads, desserts and the chicken in time!!"
You could kinda hear she was freaking out and a desperate perfectionist. Now I'm the one laughing out loud.
"Tay, I'm sorry for ranting before, I know you must be stressed out, level Blair Waldorf. But everything will be perfectly fine, as you are the best hostess there is on this planet.", I try to calm her down, smiling as I know she will be pacing back and forth in her kitchen at this very moment, keeping a close eye on the famous chicken while cutting some vegetables and obviously talking to me on the phone.
"Well at least I was, until I decided, in one of my not so bright moments I might add, to host a dinner for around 60 people. Why did you not do anything which is possible to STOP ME and make me forget this stupid, ridiculous idea straight away ?", she grunted, making me laugh again.
"Darling, that's exactly what I've been trying to do ever since the day you send out the invitations, but you determinedly refused to give in to me.", I defend myself getting up from the bed, moving towards the wardrobe again. "Anyways, weren't Tom and the others supposed to help you get everything ready for the dinner ?", I ask curiously. Tom is Taylor's boyfriend so I thought it was obvious for him to support her tonight. The others are our mutual friends, most of them former classmates, too.
"Yes, they were and they do help me, of course. But there are things you just can't let other people do for you. Come on, Selena, you know they don't even know how to cook a proper pasta..", she snickers.
"Right you are, my bad.", I answer, grinning at the thought, even though she can't see me. "Let me distract you from your chaos in the kitchen for a second. What the hell am I going to wear ?!"
Multi-tasking is one of Taylor's talents, so she doesn't mind helping me out with my problem and I can already hear her mind racing through my closet in high-speed.
"Hmm...how about that new dress you got at the Ted Baker-Sale last week ? The baby-blue chiffon one with the ruffles and Bardot-neckline ? I think it suited you very well when we tried it on and the weather seems fine today so you won't be cold." she suggests while I can hear her stirring something.
I mentally slap myself. Normally I would count myself as a decently intelligent person. But of course I didn't remember buying a dress that would suit the occasion perfectly. To make matters worse, I could have solved my apparent problem a few hours ago. Great, what waste of time, Selena..
"Taylor, you're honestly a gift from God, thank you so much. I agree, it is probably the best choice for tonight and I'm so looking forward to wearing it for the first time." I squeal in relief.
"Oh well, I know I'm always the one with the best ideas.", she applauds herself jokingly. "Seriously I need to get this mess over here done, so thanks for helping me keep my brains in the right place and not in the oven after all, love ya and see you later, honey."
"Thanks again, Tay. You really are the best haha! Don't worry, everything will be fine and everyone will love what you magically produced in such a short amount of time. Love you, see you soon!" I laugh and end the call.
"Time to get into action..." I murmur satisfied, scratching together everything from make-up to hair tools I will most probably need to get ready for tonight into a towel to transport it to my bathroom, because when I said I created a mess in my room, I meant it. "I'll just clean that up later, I guess I won't be at Taylor's that long.", I think, closing my bedroom door, struggeling to do so with both hands occupied.
Authors note:
Hello there :) as you might have noticed this is my very first book here on Wattpad. I already have some ideas where the story is headed and I hope you enjoyed the first chapter. It was great fun to write this haha. What I can't promise though, is how often and how regular I will manage to upload new chapters, so please have patience with me :) I decided to make this a very up-to-date Jelena-Fanfic, as you you can see I included Taylor's new boyfriend Tom Hiddleston for example. Selena is supposed to look just like she looks now, during Revival Tour, 2016 and so on, but Justin is supposed to look like in the "Where are Ü now" video, hairstyle wise at least, lol. Not that I don't like the buzz cut, but the other just suits his character in this story much better.
There aren't that many details about anything yet, but trust me I will reveal them soon enough in the following chapters.
The next one is going to be in Justin's P.O.V., excited how that's going to turn out ;)
