"So after breakfast I was thinking I can do you portrait em" Susannah says. I really wanted to get my portrait done by her but I needed to teach Ben the dance.

"I need to teach Ben the waltz" I say. "We can teach him" Steven said motioning at all the boys. "Ya we would be better teachers then you anyways" Conrad added. Steven agreed.

I just rolled my eyes at them.

"Ok so after your done eating get in your dress and get all dolled up and meet me out front" Susannah instructs me. I nod and finish my delicious pancakes.

When I was done I went upstairs and got ready for Susannah to paint me. I did my makeup really nice and then curled my hair and put it up half way so it was out of my face like Susannah liked. Then finally I put on my white dress I was going to wear to the deb ball.

I walked downstairs to see Conrad dancing with Ben. It took everything in me not to burst out laughing. I snapped a pic before they could notice my presents.

Ben looked a little flustered by Conrad being that close.

The boys attention turned to me.

"Oh wow you look amazing" Ben says. When Ben tells me I look good I know he means it because he has once told me I looked like his dogs shit.

"Ya you look like a girl" Steven joked. "I thought you where a guy tbh wow" Conrad teased.

"Oh you all are so funny" I snarled at them. "And thank you Ben" I smiled at my friend.

Jeremiah stood there not saying anything. His gaze was burning into me but he was not saying a word.

I decided I had a enough of the boys teasing and Jeremiah's stares so I left them to there dance lesson and went to meet Susannah outside.

"Oh dear your look just gorgeous in that dress" Susannah's says when she sees me. "And you are just getting prettier and prettier everyday honey" she adds.

Susannah's compliments always made me feel like the most gorgeous girl in the world. No boys complement could compare to Susannah's. Nobody could compare to Susannah.

Susannah begins to paint me. "Are you exited for the ball?" Susannah asked. "Ya I can't wait to dance the night away" I smile.

It was true at first I was doing it to make Susannah happy and so Belly didn't have to do it alone but now I really loved being a deb. I had made new friends and discovered a new side to myself. Plus I had way better educate now.

"I am so proud of you em" Susannah smiled at me. My heart beamed. Hearing Susannah say she was proud of me warmed my heart. It was all I wanted.

"So Ben is such a nice guys huh?" Susannah asked knowing the answer. "Ya he is I'm really lucky to be going to the ball with him" I smiled.

I was lucky to go with Ben he was an amazing friend. I was so lucky to have someone like him as a friend.

"Jeremiah doesn't seem to like him to much" Susannah poutines out. "Oh ya I guess not" I say. "But he really doesn't have anything to worry about" Susannah adds. I agree with her not thinking.

Susannah contained to paint.

"You know I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed that you and Jere are not going to the debutant ball together" Susannah said looking up from her canvas.

I froze. For a second I did not know what to say. "Oh well ugh I didn't think he would be into going" I said. "But I guess he is since he is going with Belly" I laugh nervously.

"You two have just always been so close" Susannah says looking at her painting. "Ya I guess we have" I say.

It goes silent for a bit. I was relieved I didn't want to talk about Jeremiah anymore.

"Oh my lovely girl I can not get over your beauty" Susannah said. I smiled bright. No one could make me smile as bright as Susannah did. "Thank you" I said

I wanted to tell Susannah everything about what happened with Jeremiah and Belly. Susannah has this way about her that makes you want to tell her your deepest darkest secrets.

"I can not wait to see you dance the night away in this dress" Susannah gushed. Susannah was filled with complements. And when she would complement me I would believe her.

Even though it was really hot outside and I felt like I was melting. I didn't want Susannah to finish my painting. I wanted to spend more time with her.

Sadly she did finish the painting. And our time spent together was over. My mom stole her and belly stole me.

I would sit out in the hot sun for days with a snow suit on if it meant I got to spend more time with Susannah.
