If it was a perfect day...?

Today I remembered an old writing prompt they told us to do in second grade. I didn't think much of it until watching an hour and a half of the MTV show "Awkward." The prompt was a simple: If you were to have a perfect day, how would it go? Since nothing else has really happened with my day today, why not rewrite it?
-----------------

My bed suddenly bounces making the head board smack against my light purple wall. Although the sun was hardly up I could make- out the 2 figures of my best friends Emily and Sydney. Emily's brunette curls looked thicker and bouncier than usual and Sydney's hair was really long again and flat ironed. "Wake up sleeping beauty!" Emily yells to wake me up.
Sydney turns on my light and I rub my eyes. As I blink back into focus I realize I'm not baby- of- the- school- 13- year- old-Kailyn Wolffe. I'm 16- year- old- America's- Next- Top- Model Kailyn standing 5'10" and having super light blond hair reaching my waist. I look up at Emily and Sydney. Both of them were taller and older looking. Emily had on a white lace top and army green short shorts and Sydney had on a black tank top that had stripes of different colored sequins going across it with a pair of white short shorts. I look at my clock. I glower at the 2 of them.
"Guys, it's 5 AM. Please give me a good reason why you're here." I sigh walking over to my mirror. My skin was a lot tanner and my nose was thinner and more ski slope- like.
"Well," Sydney drags out. "Tonight is the Lily Brook Ball and you don't have a dress yet and we know you don't want to look like the idiot that wore jeans and a t- shirt in front of him, so Em and I figured what better place for you to get a dress than New York City?"
I smile widely. My mind clears up. The Lily Brook Ball was a dance that only the best of the best got to go to and he was the cutest boy I had ever seen that understood me and was funny and was just perfect. Emily rests her arm on my shoulder. "Plus, I happen to have tickets to the best show on Broadway."
I jump up and down. New York City, Wicked, Lily Brook Ball, and seeing the guy of the dreams all in one day? How much better could it get? I quickly get changed into a royal blue V- neck top and cuffed short shorts. I leave my hair down and we're out the door by 5:30 AM.
After a car ride filled with giggles and singing show tunes we reach New York City by 7:00 AM. We go into a little breakfast place in Manhattan where we get the world's best bagels for breakfast. Just as we're about to pay the bill the waiter stops us.
"No, no," He explains shaking his head. "Those nice boys over there paid for you. They said, 'Let us pay for those pretty ladies' meals.'"
Just as we turn our heads we realize the "boys" that paid for our meals were Cory Monteith and Kevin McHale. We jump up and down excitedly as we get their autographs and take pictures. By 8:30 we were going down Broadway to go inside to see "Wicked". Sadly, when we reach the door we find out our tickets were double sold. As we turn around and start to leave the theater depressed, a spark of luck occurs.
"Wait! Wait!" The ticket man call chasing after us. "Although your seats are taken, we do have some extra seats in the front row. If you don't mind it's in front of the orchestra and you'll be sitting next to Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, and Daniel Radcliff so there will security guards around you."
Sydney links arms with Emily and I. "That will be perfectly fine."
We take our seats in wide smiles. "Wicked" was glamorous because- due to a stomach flu and strep throat that went around- the original cast of "Wicked" had to fill in for them. After we left the show we went to a fancy French restaurant. I look around the restaurant then laugh. "I think is the first time so far today we haven't run into a celebrity."
I was a little disappointed when we were paying for our bill I felt a tap on my shoulder. I look up to see a bleached blond, fair woman wearing a dress that could probably fit 8 people under it and heels taller than a guinea pig on it's hind legs. I stare at her blankly for a few seconds before I realize I'm standing face to face with the Lady Gaga. Sydney and Emily start silently cheering with each other. I was so star struck I couldn't even stutter words.
"Hey little monster, I'm lovin' the shoes," She comments adjusting her outlandish head piece. I look down then realize I'm wearing my black sneakers that I had written "Property of Gaga" in.
"I- I- I like your music." I stutter out. Everyone breaks out in hysterics. Gaga giggled.
"Stay beautiful, sweetie," She says patting me on the shoulder.
I smile and turn back to the group. We all cheer silently. Then it was time for dress shopping. After 4 hours and countless boutiques, stores, and even a mini mart we finally found the perfect dress. We got home at around 5 and I quickly got my hair done then did my make- up myself. Everything was perfect and seemed so right...
* * *
I walked down the long staircase of the Lily Brook Ballroom. Time seemed to stop for a second as I walked down the stairs in my royal blue gown that was tight fitting until it reached mid- shin where it flared out. The thick shoulder straps were slid off my shoulders. My hair was simple pulled back at the crown and everything that was tied back was curled. My eyes had wings painted on with a metallic light blue eye shadow.
Josh Groban music sung in my ears. He waited at the bottom of the stairs smiling and waiting for me. Sydney and Emily stood behind him giddy for me. He smiled even wider when I stood next to him. Even in my 2 inch Cinderella styled heels he was still taller than me. I bat my eyelashes at him and slyly smile back at him.
"Hey, beautiful," He finally blurts out.
"Hey," I peep with a giggle.
"May I have this dance?" He asks sticking his hand out.
I blush. "I gladly will."
As I went out there, in the center of the dance floor nothing felt important any more. The fact that I saw all the celebrities I love so much didn't mean a thing. The fact that I had Dylan and all his friends drooling over me on the sidelines was just as important as the last time I bought tomatoes. The fact that I had Maria envious of me seemed like it had been done so many times before. That moment of me feeling like a princess with him just made everything feel perfect.

Bless you. Love you.

Day 9- Every dayum shufflin.

Sorry I couldn't post about day 9 yesterday. I went from home, to school, to the orthodontist, to the football game, to my bed. Now my legs and mouth hurt from walking around and making out with all the football players at the game too much... lol jk I only wish. I walked around and talked a lot at the football game, but my mouth only hurts from getting my braces tightened. Agenda for this post will be: Quick summary of school, talking about the football game, and what I've done so far today... Let's get started!
School was okay. We had a class election first period, so I didn't get to go to fashion design. :( At least my extremely hug-a-ble friend *Mike won the election! I was talking to my friend *Destiny in gym class yesterday when *Dylan and one of his friends run over. Of course right as I'm about to open my mouth to talk to him, what do the gym teachers do? They blow the whistle and yell, "Everyone get into your squads!" *Heart plummets* There's always Monday? I have to "read" chapters 2 and 3 of To Kill a Mockingbird this weekend. By that I mean I'll just skim through it and once I remember what happened in those chapters I'll hang out with someone.
The football game was pretty good, actually. We still lost- 32 to 22 or something like that- but I talked to this senior named James who told me last year out of our first five games our point average per game was 3 points. As usual, I didn't actually pay attention to the game. I met and talked to a ton of people who I'll- most likely- never meet again. Here's the #1 conversation starter: Jenna Marbles. Not Justin Bieber, not Lady Gaga's newest outfit, Jenna Marbles. Don't know who she is? She's a Youtube star on the rise. Guys watch her because she's hot. Girls watch her because she's hysterical. Jenna's most famous for her video where she makes "the face" that you can use to get people to stop talking to you with. It goes something like this:

Sexy right? If you start talking about her- or even quoting her for that matter- people will laugh and probably join in! I met a ton of people that way. Why am I bringing this up also? So Jenna has one video where she makes fun of Sarah Palin and takes her top off. I was doing a "Sexy Sarah" impression where I stuck my chest forward and squished my boobs together when who walks by, but 3 of the freshman football players I've know since 4th grade. One of the guys went bug- eyed when they saw me since 1) I'm sexy. 2) He had never seen me acting like that. The guys of course walked down to the end of the stands then walked back, so I jokingly did my impression again for them to make them smile. The band had a good performance, but *Bianca, Sydney, and I had to leave early since I had a killer head ache.
Sydney and I had a sleepover last night and went to the mall this morning. Once she left I changed into sweatpants and an oversized T- shirt. I'm hopefully seeing Emily and Sydney tomorrow. Well, I need to go make dinner. Till then,
Bless ya! Love ya!

Sleeping Through Day 5


I couldn't fall asleep last night for whatever reason and somehow my mom messed up my alarm clock so it was 15 minutes fast. I was really tired overall. I was very annoyed at my English teacher today. Since it was 9:30 and I was still really tired when I got to her class I was a little crabby. I got really annoyed that I had to take pre- reading notes on To Kill a Mockingbird since I already read most of it, but what are you going to do?
In homeroom I had a good conversation with *Tabitha. I'm still debating whether she actually wanted to talk to me or she just had no one to talk to. I don't care though since Tabitha's nice to me. After Biology *Katy and I walked to gym together. We're starting to become closer and are almost becoming friends. Katy sparked up a conversation today for a change. Her starting a conversation is bigger than it sounds since I only have so many conversation starters.
I just realized I never told you guys about my best friend Emily. I was the new girl in my town in 4th grade and had no clue who anyone was or where anything was. Emily was the girl who got me from the office and showed me where everything was. I never mentioned her on here since this is mainly a school based blog and Emily and I don't have any classes together this year- not even lunch :(. The reason why I brought her up is we're probably going to hang out this weekend and there will be a post about it if we do- with pictures! Here's a picture of us in my front yard.

Us before we went to see the "Glee! Live Concert Movie"- which we're featured in! Our shirts say Lopez and Pierce since we're as close as Brittney and Santana.

So today was another gym class day where it felt like we were walking in looking like this (Yes,we're the cast of The Secret Life of an American Teenager.):

I knew we weren't because everyone- including the gym teachers- were looking at us like this:

^^  Chris Colfer forever <3. Any who, the new season of Glee is coming out  in one week, one day, 2 hours, and 49 minutes and I'm so excited! I have to finish going over my monologue for school. Till then,
Bless ya! Love ya!
