Chapter 2Just the beginning (2)

In the evening, sandra came over to Elicia's room dressed in a bright red short gown paired with silver sandal heels. Her hair was pulled in a high pony and her lips were filled with bright red lipstick.

Ohh ... my world Elicia!!! why aren't you dressed yet?, she asked. She then spotted Jace,

YOU!!!!,what the heck are you doing here?

Ohh Sandra ... I completely forgot to tell you, said elicia. Well, Jace is my roommate and wants to tag along with us. I hope it is no problem.

I don't have a problem after all she won't stay back if I said I had one,Sandra said looking at Jace disgustingly. Jace also noticed her stare,"Sandra if you don't want me to come I would stay back",Jace said pitifully.

Oh my gosh!! Jace you made my work easy.Please,stay back I don't want you coming with us , sandra said a little bit annoyed.

"Come on now,Sandra stop joking ",said elicia. If there is anyone that should go it would be her , she is all dressed up and I am not,elicia said .

Just then ,sandra realized what she was to do. Oh my goodness ,baby I think you need to get ready. She picked up a random lavender gown and shoved them into Elicia's hands. Elicia took them then got changed and came out ,the gown was a tube short gown .Baby you look lovely ,Sandra complemented. Okay here ,take this white sandal heels. She wore them and sandra did her hair in a high pony just like hers. She then applied lipstick on her lips and they are left.

Cuppar's House

On getting there, everywhere was so noisy,people where drinking ,dancing others were playing games. They walked pass the crowd and Elicia sighted Cuppar.

Cuppar!! ,she shouted.

Cuppar turned and saw her and the girls. He walked up to them and welcomed them.

Oh dear!! you look gorgeous .I am pretty sure most guys won't keep their eyes to themselves after seeing you,he teased. Elicia just laughed, including you I suppose ,she teased back.

Ok ,girls let me lead you to get drinks for yourselves. He lead them and handed over a glass of vodka to elicia ,girl get loose tonight and have fun . He left, Jace and sandra also left to have fun as well.

She then turned and atlas was standing directly in front of her.

Oh my gosh!!!!... Atlas,you startled me. I am so sorry,I didn't mean to scare you,he apologized. Can we talk for sec,it is very important. They went upstairs of Cuppar's House. They then entered one of the guest rooms that was vacant. Atlas sat down then elicia progressed to sit as well.

Ok so Atlas, what did you want to tell me that you took me away from a party I got to just a couple of mins ago?He looked at her for sometime without uttering a word. She furrowed her brows looking upset. Why the hell are you silent now,if you didn't know what to say ,why bring me here? she asked annoyed. Ok ,I am sorry,he said. He cleared his voice .

Ok ,so elicia I know it is too sudden but I really want to tell you how I feel . I have been meaning to tell you that I like you. Elicia started laughing,you can't be serious. I know Sandra is playing a prank on me.

Sandra!!Sandra come out,I know you are behind this so come out quickly... she was still laughing and looked at atlas. She then realized this ,wait that wasn't a prank. Atlas nodded .Oh shit!!!! I am so sorry ,sandra does this to me I thought it was a part of those her many pranks.

I understand the boys also pull pranks on me,he replied. Can you be my girlfriend? He asked. You can take your time to give me an answer ,it doesn't have to be now,elicia nodded. So that aside , can I take you on a friendly date,she looked at him . I promise it is just a friendly date ,he rose his hands up in surrender. She then agreed ,a friendly date that is all ,she replied.

Ok,how do you see an ice cream date with me tomorrow. I would text you the location. He was about leaving then remembered something,sorry I don't have your number. Can I get it from you? she nodded.He handed over his phone to her ,she took his phone and saved her number on it. Ok so ,see you tomorrow ,I would text you the location. He smiled at her and left.

Author:(Would she attend the date or was it a ploy to get him off her back)
