It was prom night, I was dressed in my beautiful pink gown. Today is the happiest day of my life, because why? My boyfriend told me he had a surprise for me. Ooh I can't wait.
I giggled slightly, as I looked around the hall my eyes searching for Kelvin. Ugh, why is he so late.. he told me he would be early.
I sighed sadly, as I watched my best friend dance with her boyfriend. She's pretty, really pretty.
Her eyes met mine and she waved at me, I waved back.
I felt so awkward watching everyone dance with their partner and I'm just standing in the middle of it all.
"Enjoying the show." Kelvin voice came from behind me, and my whole face light up immediately. I turned around in fast fluid motion, and the smile on my face dropped immediately. My sister was in the arms of my boyfriend, why?.. I don't know why.
"Uhm.. the.. both of you, are together?." I stuttered my eyes questioning.
"Yeah, your sister is my date." Kelvin shrugged, his arms drawing my twin sister closer than she already is.
"Julia... What.. what.. is he saying." I stuttered staring at my sister. Please tell me he is lying and this is just a silly prank. You have always played pranks on me right?, So this is also a prank right?.. My heart beat accelerated, my eyes gazed into hers.. begging and pleading.
Julia frowns, "Come on sis.. don't tell me you do not understand the words my Boyfriend just said. Incase you didn't hear, I will tell you.. he said.. that I'm his DATE." She dragged the words slowly, paying more emphasis on the word date.
Boyfriend, that word kept on resounding in my head, repeating all over and over again. Did she just say the same guy that I have been dating, the same very guy that I have been waiting for.. is her boyfriend.
I held back the tears, I had to.. I can't let the tears fall.. but my eyes failed me, my body failed me! The tears fell. "Did.. did.. you.. just said.. boy.. boyfriend." I stuttered more tears falling.
"Tsk tsk tsk.. my ugly sister is crying. Aww come on.. did we make you cry.. huh? Did we?.." Julia mocks, she placed her finger underneath my jaw and tilt my face upward, so I could look at her.
"Did you really think that kelvin wanted to date you and that he was inlove with you. Oh my goodness, this is crazy. I can barely keep myself from laughing." She laughed out in the meanest way ever.
"Your sister is right, why would you ever think that I would love someone like you. Come on Juliet, You are fat." He chuckled his eyes roaming over my body, to prove his point.
I swallowed.
He laughed maniacally, removed his arms from around my sister and then walked towards me in slow steps. "You are fat Juliet, you are ugly, repulsive, and disgusting. Who would love a fat ugly lady. No one Juliet, no one!."
"I think that's enough!. Juliet let's go." My bestfriend yelled, coming to my rescue. She held my hand and dragged me out of the hall.
"You are fat Juliet! You are ugly! Repulsive! Disgusting!. Who would love a fat ugly lady. No one Juliet! no one!." Those words kept on ringing in my head seconds after seconds, minute after minute, days after days till it became nothing more but a regular nightmare.
*********
I sat up in my bed abruptly, my chest heaving really fast. I sighed, my palm on my forehead.
Why can't i just sleep for one night without having such annoying dream, tagged as nightmare.
The ringing of my phone caught my attention, and I had to search for it. I finally found my phone underneath my pillow, ugh.. it's Alice calling. I'm sure she will be really mad at me.
Okay.. should I answer or should I not?. If I don't answer the call, she will keep on calling me and definitely get tired but also.. her anger would only end up increasing. But if I do pick her call.. then I'm pretty sure my ear would end up getting blocked.
The call ended and I smiled happily, my happiness was cut off when she called again. I knew she would call again, I'm not surprised.
With a sigh I swiped the green button. "Hey.. babe."
"No! No! No! Don't you hey babe me!. Where are you, you are late! Have you forgotten that you are not only my maid of honor, but you are also the one taking care of my cake. Where is my maid of honor? And where is my cake?. The wedding would be starting an hour from now, and you are no where to be found!.". Oh holy shit! Today is her wedding, oh my God! Oh my God!. How could I have forgotten today is my bestfriend wedding.
"I'm on my way, I'm almost at he hotel. You haven't left your hotel room right?." I said hurriedly, getting up from my bed. I pulled off my PJ's trouser and then did away with my pant.
"Of course I'm still in my hotel room, how am I supposed to head to the church when my beloved maid of honor is nowhere to be found. You know, this is the reason why I asked you to sleepover, but no! You just had to refuse..." She blabbered on and on.. giving me an earful. I knew she was going to this.
"Alice, Alice! I will have to call you back." I said struggling to get out of my PJ's shirt. Why do I even wear PJ's, I should be wearing night gowns and not PJs due to the suffering PJs normally cause me in the morning.
"No, you are not calling me back and you will not end.." yup, I end it. I ended the call.
Well Juliet, she said the wedding is in an hour time. Which means I have only one hour to bath, put on my dress and to get to the hotel. I'm never gonna make it, yup, I will not make it. Hmm, I guess I have to try.
************I raced through the hotel entrance door, looking like a weirdo. Have you ever imagined a fat woman, holding her shoes in her hand, her hair messy and undone, and she is running. That is me right now.
Everyone looked at me, and I could pretty much tell that they are wondering if I escaped from a mad house. What is it called again... Yeah, an asylum.
I ran with all my might and every single strength I had in me, and believe me this is the most stressful thing I had ever done. I can hardly breathe!.
"No please, don't close it yet." I yelled at whoever was inside the elevator, it was actually two ladies and a young guy. Luckily for me, the lady heard me yell and she stopped the elevator door from closing. I thankfully walked into the elevator, my chest heaving so fast.
"Thank.. thank.. you.. so much." I thanked the lady, the words barely able to come out of my mouth. Woah, I am so tired. After Alice wedding, I am going to treat myself to a relaxing bath in Alice jacuzzi. Well... I don't have one in my apartment, and since Alice is going for her honeymoon, and would probably not be living in her apartment anymore.... I don't see why I shouldn't help her stay in her apartment till her rent has expired. I'm such a good friend.
The elevator finally got to my destination, and I walked out. I searched for Alice room, and I found it.
With my hand on the doorknob, I offered a small prayer to God, I begged him to cool Alice heart, mind and soul with some ice, so that.. she doesn't end up sending me to an hospital.
I turned the doorknob slowly, then stepped into the room. God please save me!.
"Here she is, my wonderful maid of honor has finally arrived, and I'm already an hour late to my own wedding." She said smiling. Oh my God, she's angry. Very angry at me. Lord please save your daughter.
"Why don't we.. well.. hurry up to your wedding, since I'm here." I said putting on a sweet smile.
"I would relly love to tear you apart, into tiny little pieces, but you are in need of a complete make over and also.. I wouldn't want my groom thinking that I had abandoned him. So sit your ass down, so the make up artist could do her job. And what about my cake?."
"Patrick already took care of that. Your cake is already in the church." I replied her, seating down on a chair.
"Okay that's good. Please Sophia, I need you to hasten up with the make up." Alice instructs, she sighs and sits down on the bed.
God, thank you so much for saving my soul.
I watched as the bride and groom exchanged vows, declaring their unfailing love for each other.Years back I would have been smiling like a crazy person, thinking about my forever with my highschool boyfriend Kelvin. I would be daydreaming of our wedding day and how it would be so magical and fantabulous.But now I know better that I am never destined to love any man or to be loved back in return. I know that I would never stand in front of an alter and say the word, *I do* I have woken up from my slumber and I would never dream again.Kelvin had told me that no one would ever love me, and he was right.. no one would love a fat, ugly girl like me. I'm too fat. If I was a man, I wouldn't even fall inlove with me.Who would want a fat sweaty ugly girl as their wife or girlfriend. Back then in highschool, I had always fantasized that my Mr Right would sweep me off my feet and ask me to marry him. But hey, how could he possibly sweep me off my feet wh
I wonder how much longer I would have to keep smiling at a lot of unfamiliar faces. Well.. what can I say, Alice knows a lot of people that knows a lot of people."I have to say Juliet, your cake taste really lovely. Do you mind baking one for my niece's birthday." A woman who I don't even know. As a matter of fact, I just met her... Said to me. I just met this woman like about a minute ago and I'm already getting weary of her. What can I say... I'm not a people person. I love just being on my own. I can't even remember the woman's name.I put on a fake smile and said in the nicest way ever. "That would be a pleasure ma'am, here is my card. You can call me."Now, at this very moment I was about making my big escape when the disturbing, irritating woman spoke again. Argh."You know, the decor of the reception is really beautiful and elegant. But my own daughter's wedding reception would be more beautiful and el
Weeks passed and whatever happened between me and green eyes were forgotten into the busy week.For some reason everyone is celebrating one thing or another, the demand for cake and pie has risen to the top of my chart. It's either someone is celebrating his/her birthday or it's a wedding, a home coming. House warming, graduating party and so on.I can't say that I don't appreciate the extra cash but the stress it's getting on really bad.Right now, I have to go deliver a strawberry mint cake to a certain school, named penguins. Who in their right mind would name their school penguins, why couldn't the principal just named it eagle. Atleast, the parents would be rest assured that his/her child's grades would get skyrocketed. But penguins, seriously?.. penguins don't fly, nope.. they walk on the ground and swim, play around. Believe me, if I had a chance I would never send my child to such a school."Cl
It's been a week now and there's still no sign of Mr Green eyes. Not like as if I care, I'm just watching out for him and that's really getting me paranoid.Every knock on my door always gets me startled, and before I walk to the door.. I always wondered if it was green eyes at the door. And everytime, it always turned out that it's not him."Hey Julie, mind if I come in?." Simone asked his head poking into my office, his full body behind my office door."Why ask for permission, when you are already in? And also, there's a 't' after the 'e' always, remember to add it." I said to him, focusing back on the documents on top of my desk."First all of, I am not in. I had only my head poking into your office and the name Julie is much more better than juliet to my own hearing." Simone said sitting down on one of the chairs infront of my desk."I don't care if Julie sounds better to you. Juliet is my
"Are you for real? How could you say no to him. How could you refuse to go on a date with Jason. He is a hardworking guy, has his own company, and he is very handsome. He has a lot of girls asking him out. And here you had a chance to go out with him and you dared say no!!." Okay, you guess right. That's no one else but my bestfriend Alice. For someone who is in her honeymoon, she does know everything about what's going on in my life."And that is a much more reason for him to leave me the heck alone. I am sure, that those girls asking him out, are all slim and much more beautiful than me. So he should date one of them.""Come on Juliet. How many times do I have to tell you, that you are beautiful and you should stop looking down on yourself. You are not just beautiful, but you also have a beautiful heart. Any man would be lucky to date you."I sighed and rolled my eyes. Why would any man be lucky to date me. Just
"Jason, why are you here. And what's all this." I said making reference to the decorations and the light. And oh, there's also a table and two chairs, decorated nicely, with food on top of it."Have you forgotten our date so soon?." Jason asked her frowning."How can I forget something that I didn't even agree to.. in the first place." I asked challenging him with my stare."Come on Juliet, I already planned this whole thing out. Please, do not let all my efforts go to waste." He pouts. I rolled my eyes, "I don't care about anything that you must have planned out, if I can remember clearly. I never asked you to plan any of this. And well... I can see that you are the one who ordered the cake, so pay up and I will be on my way.""What about.. I pay you, after you have had dinner with me." He grinned."How about.. you pay up, and I will be on my way." I replied him smiling."Ugh, just
I stood infront of my parents house with this deep spiral hole in my heart. Today is Friday, and every last Friday of the month, I am expected to have dinner with my family. When I say family, I mean my mum, my dad and my twin sister. Sometimes, I wish that she's not my twin. But wishes are not horses, I can't ride on them."Aren't you going in sis. Don't tell me you are afraid of been reminded, of all your childhood ugly memories." Julia my twin sister said in her very loud disgusting, annoying voice. She parked her car beside where I was standing, and came down from it."Hi Julia. Nice to see you again." I gave her a tight-lipped smile.She chewed on her bubble gum loudly, and it irks the hell out of me. She knows the effect the bubble gum has on me, and that's why she does it. "I don't know juliet, I really don't know if I can say the same for you. It's not nice seeing your fat ugly body on a very fine evening."
"Juliet! Are you gonna spend the remaining life span you have at the door." My sis yelled from the dinning, I hate her!."Yeah juliet, are you just going to keep on standing infront of me. Won't you let me in." Jason said in his usual annoying voice. I hate him!."What in God's name are you doing here. Wait, how did you even get to know my house?. Are you stalking me?." My face held a look of shock, as I stared at him."Hmm, kind of. Maybe I am stalking you, who knows." He chuckled."You bastard from the pit of hell." I glared at him strongly, if wishes were true, then he would probably be burnt right now."Okay, I am not a bastard. Yup, I have a mother and a father, if you must know. And no, I am not from the pit of hell. Infact, I am from New York." He smiled, I hate his smile. Infact, I hate every single thing about him. I hate his cute smile, I hate his amazing dark hair, I hate his beauti
