"Yes ... sorry about that. Your sister's friend reminded me of someone." He explains. "Someone I ..." he searches for the right word "don't really like.''

I look up immediately, he stares ahead.

"But that wasn't him, it couldn't have been him, people changed in 5 years."

Is he talking about Agus or Laurel?

I say "Ohw" and look at his phone again. I click on a song but continue to look through his music. He has at least 5000 songs on his phone, all divided into different lists.

I click on a other list.

1.Yann Tiersen - Comptine d'un autre été
2. Claude Debussy - Clair de lune
3.Beethoven's silence
4. Ludwig von Beethoven - Für Elise (slow)

It goes on and on, I think he has 18 numbers. All classical music. I know them all except for one.

Transformation

There is no name of the artist, just the title.

I press it on and Jason looks up immediately as if I caught him.

"I don't listen to classical music,'' I quote him.

He laughs, ''busted''

We listen to the music in silence. It starts very slowly and peacefully. The first instrument you hear is a piano, later a violin and flute is added. It is very relaxing I wanna lie on a mountain in the grass and dream away. Slowly the music becomes faster and the sound becomes louder.

It's not so peaceful anymore, there are fear and anger now. A drum is added. You usually hear such music in a movie when someone is being chased or is in a dangerous situation. We listen to it in silence. My music teacher at school always tells about the stories behind music. Actually more of an emotion and you can think of the story yourself. I already understand the name transformation. The beginning was so peaceful, relaxed, you would never expect it to change suddenly. From peaceful to fear and anger. I look at his phone, the song is 11 minutes long. I see a number one next to the title. This is the song he has listened to the most. Wow. Maybe he feels that way. His life was at first peaceful and after his mother's death everything changed.

A bar appears on his screen.

Lissa:
Thx Jays, wouldn't know what I'd do without you (heart) 

I can see her profile picture next to the message. It's the girl Jason hangs out with from his class. I put his phone back where it was first.

"You got a message," I say.

Why always when I just look at his phone he gets a message from a girl. How many would he get when I don't have his phone?  He looks at his phone and smiles briefly.

I look away, I hate the fact that this annoys me so much.

We are already there. I grab my crutches and my bag and then get out.

"See you later." He says and smiles.

"Bye." I say curtly and walk to Valentina's house. Valentina's house is the middle house and also the largest house.

Jason is still standing by his car, but then also walks away.

I ring the bell, Liz opens quickly.

"Good morning." I say and smile.

"Good morning," she says, stepping aside. She has a bowl with dough in her hand. ''Come on in. Valentina is upstairs, you can go to her room if you want." She says. I look around me while taking off my jacket. The hall is huge, everything is a warm brown color.

"Yes, I will." I take off my shoes and walk upstairs. Wow, this house is huge, when I'm up the stairs I see a long hall with 5 doors and it keeps on going around the corner. I walk through the hall till I see a heartshaped chalkboard hanging on the door with Valentinas name written on it. That must be her room. I knock on the door. Soon the door flies open.

"Hey Ci!" She shouts happily and gives me a hug.

"Hai!" I shout back and hug her back. Her room is really big, a typical teenage girl's room. Lot of pink with cute decorations.

We start talking about this afternoon. Julia and the others will be here in half an hour. We'll all be changing in Valentina's room.

The boys all change clothes at Aiden. Of course they are not allowed to see each other yet. In half an hour everyone is already there, and start preparing themselves. Valentina is sitting at the make-up table, Jessica curls her hair, the other 2 girls curl each other's hair.

They are nice, looking like twins, but they are actually cousins. They are called, Do and Lo. Do is 20 and lo is 23. They are Julia's cousins.

I have already curled my hair and now push it up with a few pins. I leave a few loose curls hanging. Julia showed us pictures of how she wants our hair to look like. When I'm done with my hair I, start on my makeup.

There is music playing on the background and snacks on the table.

Do and lo have already done their make-up. They really have a lot of makeup on, and use thinks I have never seen before, but very beautiful. I'm also going to wear more than usual today. I stand in front of the mirror next to Valentina.

I put on some foundation and bronzer. I watch Valentina put on some natural gold eyeshadow and she overs to do mine too. After that, we both try to make a wing with eyeliner but struggle a lot. After 7 trys we got it. We put on some pink/brown lipgloss and mascara.

Everyone is on a different side of the room. Julia is in the corner, where her hair and makeup are done. We have decided to put on our dress at the last minute, to prevent stains.

I'm the first to finish, so I'm going to help Valentina with her hair. When I'm done with that, everyone is still busy. The makeup artist is already done with Julia. Another woman is busy with her hair.

Eventually, I'm painting Julia her nails. She is hyper and asks a lot of questions to the people who do her hair.

"Is this part gonna be curled too? Why another spin? Will it stay that way? "When I sat down in front of her, all her attention went to me. She is very nice, probably nervous for the moment.She tells how she and Aiden met and that she can't wait to see him soon. She also asks about me and Jason and it surprises me how much I like talking about us. The first time  I saw him and when he came to my school.

When everyone is ready, we all help each other put on our dresses and shoes. Valentina and I are standing in the corridor in front of the mirror. She closes my dress.

"You have to say if it's to tight," she says. The dresses closes like a corset.

"Yes, do it as tightly as possible,I really don't want it to slip down."

When she's done, I do her dress. The colors look really nice together. We all wear different shades of green. I sit down and put on the shoes. We all wear the same shoes. Black block heels, approximately 10 centimeters. Fortunately I don't really have a problem with walking on heals.

I always play fashion shows with my friends when we had a shopping day.

The annoying thing is that my tape makes it look weird. It looks very ugly, but yeah, nothing to do about that.

All guests are expected at 1 am. Julia stays in the room with her mother and aunts, they help her with her dress and the last things.The rest of us are already going outside. Liz takes us to the location. I feel that I am getting nervous now.

Valentina turns to me while we sit in the car. "So I am a little nervous now."

"Yes me too." I say and want to start scratching my nail polish. Fortunately I have now put a protective layer over it.  Do and Lo nod. Jessica does not respond, she looks at us through the mirror and then rolls her eyes. I just spoke with her, about curling irons, the perfect subject I know. She responded quite nicely. 

When we get there we see that everything is ready. Liz parks her car a little further at the parking lot. She lets us get out so we don't have to walk far. It really is very beautiful. There is a lake in front of us whit the alter stands with a bow with flowers.  The seats are in rows of 5.

The hall is on the other side of the feeld. It looks really farmy.

Atin is already walking towards us. She has a list in her hands.

"Hey girls," she says kindly. She is wearing a very nice green dress, stuck to the floor without long sleeves.

We follow her into the hall. Everything is nicely decorated with white and gold flowers. They are round tables for around 8 people.

Atin explains that we have to walk to the altar in pairs, the person with whom you walk, has the same color pocket as the color of your dress. We walk into the room, the whole family is already there and Julia's family too. We walk to the room to put our bags there. Julia enters through the outside door. Just when we walk back into the hall. On the table are the bunches of flowers. Only the "family" is here the guests will arrive in an hour.

I look around the room. This place really looks amazing. I scan the room and see someone enter the hall from the boys room, he is busy with his sleeve.

When my eyes are on him he looks up. Wait that was Jason, wow. He is even looking better than he normally does. I didn't know that was possible. His hair pulled back looking sleek. He wears a black suit with a white dress shirt underneath it and a black tie. God that looks so good on him.

When he sees me his eyes go wide and I see him look at me from head to toe.  I press my lips together and push the back of my finger to my mouth while we walk towards each other.

He runs his hand through his hair well not trough but over. I have to laugh, his nervous tick.

We are now facing each other. I am wearing heels, but luckily he is still taller than me.

"Wow Cira," he says when we are in front of each other. "You look...stunning." His eyes glow and are locked on my face.

I smile. "Thank you," I look into his eyes.

"You too", we both smile.

"Thanks"

I look at his pochet which is the same color as my dress.

"So we have to walk together." I say and point at it.

He looks at his pocket and smiling. "I really didn't expect that," he says sarcastically.

That burning feeling in my arm is back now, hurting more than this morning. I grab my arm and squeeze it. I feel the scar, the lines are deeper now, like a real wound. I don't want to look at it because Jason will notice it too than.

"What is it?" He asks his face turns serious again.

"Nothing, I just thought of something."

Not today, not Vini drama today. I'll tell him tomorrow.

"Oh," he nods but doesn't believe me. I see his eyes shoot to my neck. Shit the scar on my neck. Now that my hair is up everyone can see it. During the preparation, I didn't paid attention to that at all.

His phone is buzzes taking his attention away from me. He grabs it and read the message and starts typing.

"It is Lissa, we were the only ones who had chosen art. So now we have to go to a museum together." He says and puts his phone away.

"That's nice." I say and try to sound sarcastic. But he sees trough me and opens his mouth to say something.

"OH MY GOD!" Jason and I both look beside us and see Atin looking stressed in her bag.

"I have forgotten the rings and the USB stick with all the music!" She looks around with irritation and grabs her car keys. The moment she wants to walk away, Valentina comes out of the room.

"Atin, can you help us with the flowers? We do not know how to get the snare so well."

"Uhmm ..." Atin looks from the door to Valentina.

"Go and help them, I'll get the things." Jason walks to Atin and takes the keys from her.

"Thank you Jason, the rings are in the living room at Aiden's house. In the living room somewhere. And the USB stick is at Liz's house, in the room next to the front door. "

Jason nods and takes the key and then turns back to me. Valentina now looks at Jason. "Ohw can you also bring my mascara, eyeliner and concealer with you?"

"You think I know what that is?" Says Jason and rolls his eyes at her.

"Then I have to come myself." She says. Atin look at her.

"No Valentina, we still have to finish your speech." Valentina nods and looks at Jason to start her explanation but I interrupt her.

"I'll go with you, I know where you left your make-up. If I don't have to help with anything else." I say.

"Yes please, go with him we got it covered here." says Atin and Valentina nods and they walk away together.

"Okay?" I look at Jason.

He laughs, "of course."
