Chapter 19: Right Around the Corner

Before I begin... The date of the wedding I have moved to July 24th. It was previously June 24th but, I obviously have not gotten there YET. I hopefully will have the wedding written out by then and the official goal is July 24th. You'll see a specific day down pretty far so, take a guess on which year this story takes place in. 😉

Christine

"Get out of my way!" The girl growled, angrily glaring at me.

This time, her blue-headed friend was with her, the two glaring at me.

I rolled my eyes lightly, "What do you want." I said, turning around. She was getting on my nerves even more, it still driving me nuts.

"You keep getting in my way. Stop it!" She hissed, her hands on her hips.

I put my foot down, "You aren't the boss of me. Don't make me get my sister's fiancé."

"Aww... you gonna call on someone else's fiancé for help?" She said in a whiny voice.

I looked at her, quiet. She was smirking, her face plastered with that look that made you want to give up... I stood my ground still, even if I was quiet.

"Would you guys BEAT it?" A stern voice said behind me.

I froze, thinking he was talking to me to move. I bit my lip before seeing the girls go.

I stood there quietly, confused before someone touched my shoulder, "You alright?"

I spun around lightly, "Oh... Um... yeah..."

He smiled lightly.

I looked down for a moment, almost embarrassed that he needed to help me.

"Christi~Chan!" My friend's voice said down the hall.

Both the guy and I spun on our heels to look at her, "Hey Kawaii~Chan." The guy said gently.

"Oh! Hello, Vylad~Kun!"

I sputtered, looking between the two in complete disbelief, "You two know each other!?" Kawaii~Chan just started to giggle again.

"Of course, silly. He lives on the same street as Kawaii~Chan!"

The guy quietly chuckled, "Yeah... Kawaii~Chan is my neighbor along with Aphmau and Katelyn."

My jaw touched the ground from its drop, looking at KC, "Y-You live with them?! How is that even possible!?"

Kawaii~Chan giggled, "Aphmau~Senpai and Katelyn~Sama are Kawaii~Chan's friends. We have lived together for a year now."

I went silent, this news hitting me super hard, my eyes just wanting to water before I stopped myself, "Why do they hate me then?"

Kawaii~Chan looked at Vylad, "They don't like Christi~Chan?"

Vylad quietly sighed, "KC, they have been the ones bullying her, ya know..."

"They have!? Aphmau~Senpai and Katelyn~Sama wouldn't do that though!" Kawaii~Chan's ears flicked forward, her tail starting to sway slightly more.

I sighed, "She's the one that I had been fighting with before... she clawed my face..." I softly said, lightly moving my hair from beside my cheeks, scars, which is not good, were dug in right beside my jawline, the scar slightly lighter skin tone than the rest of my face. Kawaii~Chan gasped, covering her mouth with her hands, "Oh my Irene~Chan..."

I looked away, "Anyway... Did you want to come with me for the wedding rehearsal thing?"

Kawaii~Chan smiled lightly, "Sure, Christi~Chan! Kawaii~Chan would like to."

I smiled softly before looking at Vylad, "Well, I guess see ya around?"

"Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait." He held his hands up with a confused expression, "Why are you going to the wedding rehearsal?"

I raised a brow, "Cause it's my sister's? Why else would I?"

He raised a brow as well, "I'm a bridegroom for my brother..."

"Wait... your brother is-."

"Your sister is-."

"Garroth?!" "(y/n)?!" We both said at once our sibling's names, pointing at one another.

Kawaii~Chan burst into a fit of giggles, her rolling on the floor.

Vylad looked at me, "I'm Vylad Ro'Meave..." I returned the look, "Christine (l/n)..."

It was just a minute of silence before we both started laughing. The coincidental idea was so funny. We would have met anyway.

We both looked at Kawaii~Chan before I giggled, her heaving in huge breaths, her face petrified with laughter.

I sighed with a large smile, "Ready to go, you two?"

Kawaii~Chan nodded as I helped her up, Vylad nodding as well, "Let's go!" He said.

I laughed before we all headed out.

(y/n)

I sat at one of the tables, reading the papers that we were supposed to finish looking at by Monday the 17th... I bit my lip, it starting to get hard to focus, people coming in, others talking together and laughing as the time for us to do the rehearsal drew near.

There were going to be three rehearsals. Hopefully, the third rehearsal, we all would be acquainted with one another, understand everything, and be able to run smoothly. Everyone else always seems to have one the day before but, why not a few to make sure we all have it down just in case, though most likely one will mess up, that we all will be prepared.

"Oh (y/n)~!" Garroth's voice said near me.

"Huh-?" I was cut off as I looked up by Garroth kissing me.

My eyes were wider than an owl's as he pulled away. He laughed lightly at my expression.

I wanted to give him a death glare but, all I could do was smile and giggle, "I hate you so much, Garroth."

He chuckled, "Love ya too, babe."

I finally could control my emotions. I playfully glared at him before picking up the paper, "You're gonna be reading this later tonight, buddy."

"Yeah, yeah. I know." He chuckled, "But... guess what happened."

"What?"

He smirked lightly before suddenly kissing me again, his hands grabbing my waist and pulling me towards him.

I smacked the back of his head, even though I couldn't help but kiss him back.

He chuckled, "I just had to. Anyway! Your sis and Vylad met each other. And... I think she may need to rant to you... she has that same look you give me."

"Seriously? What look?" I raised a brow.

Garroth looked at me, a look of annoyance and explosive across his face. The first thing that came into my mind was his head exploding off and his cheeks being super red. I started laughing, "I do not look like that!"

"Yes, you do. You did yesterday!" He laughed.

I frowned, "I did not."

"Yes, you did."

"No."

"Yes."

"No!" I started to laugh, us just arguing over the dumbest thing.

He laughed before kissing me, "Yes."

"Shut up." I mumbled, lightly pushing his chest so we separated.

I smiled before I cleaned up the area I had been sitting at, it time to start rehearsal.

I'm totally ready. It's almost three weeks away now...

We're Ready.

Man, the timeline is now changing. XD I have written two weeks in some places and everything. BUT! My reasoning is the fact that I want to be able to line it up with real life and, I want to get everything semi in place. I suck at it but, yeah. HOPEFULLY, one or two more chapters will come out before the wedding. If it's the 20th and I still have nothing, then, well, wedding is next chapter.

Hope you enjoyed this!
