A Girl’s Diary novel Chapter 16

The moment we entered the detention room, Sky's eyes turned into hearts. Adam was standing there flexing. There was no one else in the room and I did not want to third-wheel this. I never thought I'd say this but good thing we weren't allowed to talk! 

The teacher entered saying he didn't want to be there as much as we didn't so we'd better behave next time. Hope Sky heard this! Because I didn't plan on wasting precious time anymore. For God's sake, I was a superstar! 

We kept quiet, the teacher reading something on his computer and us staring into nothingness. After about ten minutes of silence, Adam decided it was a good time to talk. 

"He's sleeping now. Anyone up for sneaking out for an hour and a half?" No, it couldn't be. I looked thoroughly at the teacher, his head was bowed a bit and he wasn't scrolling through the screen anymore. Damn, he was sleeping! I should believe Adam when he said something like that. I mean he was in detention more than he ever was in any class! How he wasn't expelled yet? I had no idea. 

"I wouldn't ditch Elena." Sky said giving me puppy eyes. 

"Nah! Don't worry about me. I'm good!" I shrugged. If she liked the guy, then I shouldn't get in her way. Even if I thought this was bound to be a widespread disaster. She nodded and they both disappeared through the halls. 

Now, I had some serious time to kill. I got out my scribble book and started working on my album. I was thinking of the theme, maybe it could be about love! Hmm... I guess that sounded like a good idea but now what to say? I didn't have much experience! 

When Adam and Sky returned, I was done. This album better write itself because it seemed to me, I wasn't going to finish it. Music is supposed to come from your heart. And for now, my heart was icy! 

When detention time was finally up, Sky asked me to give her a ride. I accepted too eagerly, I needed to know exactly what happened. 

"He's so dreamy, Eli. We had sushi and he drove me around with his motorcycle." She sighed absently. "His muscles felt so great under my fingers." I chocked at her words. Just what was I hearing? She giggled and continued speaking. "I held him so I wouldn't fall off, Eli. What were you thinking, you bad girl?" Oh, Thank God! 

When I reached home, my mind was set on figuring out where mom was. I needed to tell her about me modelling and that mess I got into. Dad could do too but mom would be over the moon. I'd like to see her face when I tell her! didn't have to search for mom too long. She had a studio at home, so that was the first place I searched in. And surprise surprise, she was there working on something. I really couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be. As always! 

"Mom, how does it feel like to have the best daughter in the world?" I asked her with the best smile you could ever see. The smile reserved especially for when you need something from your parents. She looked at me, unfazed and shrugged. 

"I don't know, ask grandma!" Not cool, mom. Not cool! I narrowed my eyes at her. "I mean Loca is fine too so I know a bit how it feels." What? 

"But is Loca the one you wanted to model for you since forever?" I asked her. Getting to the point. 

"*Wait*! Don't tell me!" Her eyes widened at realization. "Finally!" She squealed. "It's too hard to get Cinnamon to model for you these days. Even when she is your daughter." She said with too much excitement. "But no masks, dear daughter." She raised a questioning brow. She didn't think I'd go as Cinnamon, right? 

"That's the plan. I need the photos by the way." I smiled, hoping she wouldn't figure out why I needed them. 

"My sixth sense is telling me you have a date to your concert so you said you are helping me. Does that sound about right?" I gave her a maybe and she chuckled "I knew it!" She shook her head. "I'll tell your father, you need this after the party and before the meet and greet, right?" 

"You know me too well." I kissed her cheek and headed to my room. 

When I was done with most of the details, I headed to where I was meeting Aurora. Was I late? I don't think I need to answer that! 

We arrived in style just like everyone else. Everyone was wearing elegant dresses or suits sporting expensive looking golds and silvers. The moonlight was too magical, providing a natural disco ball from the outside. 

When we got inside, there was a sweet melody drifting through the busy atmosphere. Drinks were everywhere, almost everyone had a glass of champagne or expensive wine.
