Nelly had supplied me with some furry boots. She called them like slugs or something of that sort. We were sitting in the cottage's kitchen, Nelly and I were discussing our professions.
"I used to be a cashier and a bartender, but I dropped everything to work with Mylo." I tell her.
"That's so sweet. I make dresses and model them." She explains quietly.
"That's really cool." I glance over at Mylo and Dave they were goofing off.
"Do you like Mylo?" Nelly asks.
"Yeah, I'd call him my best friend." I reply.
"No, not like that, the other way."
"Oh!" My cheeks heat up out of embarrassment. "I honestly don't know what I think of that over-sized child."
"You guys are really cute together, like when he was giving you a piggy back ride. If I didn't know you two, I would've thought you were a couple." She giggles.
"We're not like that, just friends!" I clarify, waving my hands to express the distaste in what she just said. She laughs.
"Don't shut it down right away!" She says, in between laughs.
"He likes that Sarah girl anyway."
"No he doesn't! Their breakup was really bad." She says.
"She seems to still love him."
"She cheated on him." She says. I gasp.
"What a jerk!" I whisper-yell.
"She was back then, she's okay now." Nelly explains.
"Oh." I say.
"You're blushing." She giggles.
"GAH!" I cover my face.
"I was joking." She laughs.
"Hey Nelly! Are we going to that street dance tonight?" Dave asks.
"If you want to, but what are Mylo and Hazel gonna do?" Nelly asks quietly.
"They could come with us. You'll have to bring a +1."
"Hazel wanna come to the street dance with me?" Mylo asks.
"Sure!" I reply. Nelly squeals.
"My ship! It's happening!" She grabs her heart for effect.
"No." I say, covering my face.
"Nope." Mylo says. Nelly giggles.
"Oh! Hazel I should make you a dress!" She says.
"Okay." I say, standing up from the bar stool.
"Let's go to my studio." She says, pulling my arm.
Her and Nelly were up in the studio for what seems like forever. After many pokes from needles and multiple apologies, they were done and it was almost sunset.
I looked myself up and down in a mirror, Nelly was still doing my hair. My dress was beautiful, it had was black, mostly,it had one layer of lace on the top, a belt and, a few layers of lace over top of the bottom of it it. Nelly paired the dress with black bunny thigh high socks, and black flats. She was at the moment braiding my hair. She had gotten dressed earlier she was wearing a baby blue collared dress, a bun, thigh highs, and black flats, much like mine.
"Mylo's gonna love it." She says, finishing off my braid.
"I love it." I correct.
"Thank you." She links arms with me.
"What are you doing?" I ask.
"Let's make an entrance." She leads me to the door of the studio, and pushes it open. We walk to the end of the hall and down the stairs. Mylo and Dave were sitting in the living room, talking. Dave was the first to notice us. He started clapping. Mylo turns and sees us, and joins Dave in his applause. I look over and see Nelly blushing.
"You're blushing." I whisper to her. She nods, Dave walks up to us and gives Nelly a kiss. While Mylo gives me a hug.
"Are we ready to go ladies?" The guys were dressed up in formal attire.
"Of course." Nelly giggles. Dave calls a cab on his phone, and it arrives after 5 minutes. Dave sits in the front, Nelly on one of the sides, me in the middle, and Mylo on the other side. So I was squashed.
"I had a bad feeling about this so I brought the swords." He whispers to me, then lifts his pant leg to show me. My sword was tied to his leg with string. I nod. "We can put them in Dave's bakery."
"Okay." The cab stops in front of a large crowd. Most everyone was dancing and having a good time. A few people were standing on the sidewalk. Everyone was dressed either really formal or semi-formal. We all filed out of the cab and Dave paid. Mylo and I walk to Dave's bakery and lean the swords up against the wall. Dave walks over, to talk to Mylo. I don't wanna dance just yet so I stand with Mylo. He drapes his arm around my shoulder, like a friend, of course. I scan the crowd, while at the same time eavesdropping on Dave and Mylo. My eyes caught Nelly and Sarah, they were dancing to the upbeat music. I smile, and let my eyes wander among the crowd. I pick out a suspicious looking man, He was bloody, and heading toward Nelly.
"I'm gonna go dance with Nelly." I say quietly to Mylo, he nods, not breaking his conversation with Dave. The guy quickened his pace, pushing through the crowd. I run through the crowd until I find Nelly and Sarah.
"Hey Hazel!" Nelly yells over the blasting music.
"Hey!" Sarah also yells, I start dancing not wanting to seem like an outcast.
"Who are we listening to?" I ask loudly, so they could hear me.
"Basic Posh! They're pretty big around here!" Nelly explains.
"Oh!" I turned to see where the creep was. He was a few yards away. I turn.
"Who are you looking for?" Sarah asks, looking over my shoulder to try and find who I'm looking for.
"Not important." I say.
"I find I'm quite important." A gruff voice whispers into my ear. I felt a cold barrel of a gun against my head. I made eye contact with Nelly. I mouth: 'Get Mylo.' She takes off like a bolt. The music stopped, and everybody looked my direction. There are murmurs and whispers.
"What do you want?" I ask. through gritting teeth.
"The key, and I thought that if I pointed this gun at that Sarah girl. Key boy would come running, but you came running instead, I saw you see me." The man explains. I look over, not turning my head, but using my eyes. Mylo was running through the crowd, pushing a bunch of people, he was carrying his sword. I turned around to face the man. He pressed the gun to my forehead. "You wanna watch yourself get shot?" The man asks.
"Yup." I stand solidly, looking him straight into his eyes. I could hear Mylo, he was close. I cleared my throat. The man smirked. Mylo elbowed the man in the cheek, he fell onto the ground. Mylo pointed his sword at the guy's neck.
"It's about to get really cold here." Mylo says. Then pushes his sword into the guy's neck. Like we were all pushed into a freezer, the world became freezing.
