Party type

That turned out really nicely. But did these pompoms really have to be on the handlebars? ”I asked, suppressing another fit of laughter. The pom-poms were really only for little girls.

"What is wrong with you? Aren't they stylish? ", He asked and I noticed that he suppressed a laugh.

“Of course. For little girls at the age of five maybe, "I replied.

"Okay then I'll just take it off!" He replied and carefully took it off the bike.

"You can put it on your bike," I laughed.

"Maybe I'll do that!" He replied very seriously. I didn't buy that from him. Nobody would do that. Only if he lost a bet. We were way too old for that. We fooled around a little in the garden and I met his cat Icetea. She was a gray tabby and was totally cute. She was really playful and had a lot of fun in life.

The next time I checked my watch, it was two thirty. We had to slowly get ready if we didn't want to be late for our appointment.

When I reminded Paul that we had to go, he jumped up and ran into his room. But before he left, he called out that he would be there in 5 minutes. After that it was 10 minutes. But in ten minutes he'd managed to change clothes, pack his bag and tidy his room so that his mother wouldn't go mad when she came home later.

I thought it was really good that it was so neat. I hated guys who were messy and couldn't find anything in their room.

We walked to the train station because we still had enough time. We laughed and fooled around because Paul couldn't stay serious for 5 minutes. So not now. Of course he could be serious ... well, it doesn't matter now.

Christina was already waiting for us. She opened her eyes when she saw us together.

Paul had his arm around my shoulders and we looked like a couple.

"Hey sweetheart!" I shouted to her cockily.

"Hey.", She looked at Paul and greeted him too.

"Hey!" I looked at them alternately and had to laugh. The two looked at me in surprise.

"What's going on?" Asked Christina.

"Why are you laughing?" Paul asked at the same time.

"I just find it too funny how you two treat each other."

"What do you mean?" Christina looked at me blankly.

"Well. You're both so weird to each other. For example, you're so shy. I don't even know you like that. And you Paul don't even know what to say. ”

The two first looked at me and then at each other and began to laugh.

"You're right," they laughed.

"Well, you see and you get along really well."

We slowly walked to the train station. We wanted to go into town because that was where the best shops were.

We fooled around loudly on the train. Some people turned to us and gave us an angry look. We just kept laughing and didn't care. I mean they were all 17 or not? ”

In the middle of the city center we went to a shop where evening dresses and wedding dresses were sold. It took me a long time, but in the end I had the choice between a strapless, dark blue dress with rhinestones at the neckline. It went up to my knees and looked super cute. The other dress was rose in color and had only one strap. It was ribbed and only went up to the knees.

I took them both into the locker room. First the pink one. Christina and Paul thought it was really cute and I thought it suited me. Then I put on the blue one and presented it to the two of them. Paul almost fell off the chair and Christina looked at me with her mouth open.

“You have to buy that!” She decided with a sideways glance at Paul.

“I knew you were saying that. But I buy both. Because my parents and I will soon be invited and I still need a dress. ”I looked at Paul, who was really speechless.

"And? What do you think? Which dress should I take? "Paul shook his head and said:" Take the blue one. I really won't be able to concentrate on dancing when you look this great. And I'll have to be careful that the other boys don't take my partner away from me. ”

Now it was Christina who was speechless.

"You guys go to the ball together?" She asked.

"Yes." I replied.

“But I missed something. And why didn't you tell me that? ”She wanted to know.

"I ... uh ... to be honest, I forgot." I said with a flushed head. I disappeared into the locker room to avoid further questions. I changed and picked up the clothes. The two weren't very expensive. Together they only cost 150 euros. That was cheap because otherwise one of these dresses cost so much. Then I looked around for shoes and found them. I found a pair of high heels. It was off-white and a pair of pumps that were black. They both fit perfectly.

Now it was Christina's turn. She chose a purple, tight-fitting dress. It went perfectly with her shoulder-length black hair. She also bought matching shoes and a small handbag. Fortunately, I didn't have to buy a handbag because I knew that mom had a suitable home.

Now it went on to the accessories. It didn't take long. Well not long for us girls.

After two hours we came to a men's clothing store. We went in there and we found a suitable shirt for Paul.

“Lina? You put on the blue one, right? ”Asked Christina.

“Yes.”

“Okay. Then I have something for you Paul. ”

“ Really? ”Came from behind.

“Yeah!”

“Okay. I'm coming. ”Paul strolled over and Christina held out a dark blue shirt. I gave him another black one and he disappeared into the cabin. Shortly afterwards he came out again and was wearing the black shirt. I liked it because it suited him really well. He turned once and then looked at us.

"And? How is it? ”He asked.

"I think it's great."

"Me too," I said.

"Great," he replied. Then it disappeared again and came out again with the blue one. I couldn't help but laugh.

"What's going on?" Paul looked at me blankly.

“That looks so shitty. I can't anymore. ”I laughed. Christina also looked at Paul now. She had been busy with her cell phone and didn't even notice that he had already finished moving. She started laughing too.

"Take this off again immediately!" She commanded.

"Is it that bad? I thought I'd wear that to the ball. ”Paul grinned.

"If you do that, I'll go alone," I said with a determined smile.

"Well then not."

He walked away and then came back. This time in his clothes.

"Come on ladies. Let's go pay and then go. I need to eat something. I'm very hungry.

"Me too," said Christina. I didn't answer.

“Lina? Are you still there? ”Christina sounded impatient.

"What? Oh yeah. I'm sorry. I was in

my thoughts. ” “ Come on, let's go out to eat. ”, Christina said and hooked herself to me.

"Okay."

Together we went to a kebab shop and ordered something to eat. Suddenly I got a call. It was from my mother.

“Hey Mum!”

“Hey little one. Where are you? "

" Eating kebab in town. "

" Oh. Are you still there with Christina and this Paul? ”

“ Yep. ”

“ Okay. Will you come home please It's already half past seven and I don't want you to take the train so late. ”

“ Yes, Mum. I know. I'm coming. ”Suddenly I heard laughter.

"Mum? Who is there with us? ”

“ Timo and his parents. You came 5 minutes ago. And now Timo is sitting here and we don't know what to do. ”

“ Timo is there? ”I had to smile.

"Yes. I just said that. Do you even listen? ”

“ Yes, I do. And I'll be right there. See you soon “I hung up.

"I have to go," I said, jumping up.

"We heard.", Christina laughed and got up too. "I come with. I have to go home too. ”

“ Me too. ”

“ Come on then, ”I said impatiently.

We went to the subway together. The journey was fast and Christina had to get off one station before ours. I hugged her and Paul said goodbye to her too.

As we went home in silence, Paul suddenly broke the silence.

"Who is Timo?" He wanted to know.

“Timo is a really good friend of mine. I've known him for so long. Unfortunately, we don't have as much contact as we used to when we were at the same school. Besides, he's in the same dance class as me. ”

“ And today he just decided to come to you? ”

“ No. I think my parents already knew they were coming. ”

“ Oh. ”Suddenly his cell phone rang.

He looked at me apologetically and answered it.

"Hey mom."

"... Sure ..."

"... No is not bad. Have fun! ”

“ ... Yes ... Bye! ”He hung up.

"Was that your mother?" I asked curiously.

"No, I say mom to my buddies," he said ironically.

"Oh sorry. What did she want? ”

“ She just wanted to say that she is with my siblings at my aunt's and they won't come back until tomorrow evening. ”

“ Oh. That means you are all alone at home. ”

“ Yes. And I'll be bored, ”he sighed.

"You could read one of your kitsch books," I chuckled.

"Good idea. And watch a movie and listen to music and ... ”

“ I got it, ”I interrupted.

We got to my home.

"Okay, see you then," I said.

"See you. See you. Do you have time tomorrow? ”

“ No. I'm going to the cinema with Timo. ”

“ Oh. Have fun then! ”Was that my imagination or did he sound disappointed?

"Thank you. You too. Throw a party ”

“ No, I'd rather not. I'm not the party type. ”

“ Neither am I. Well okay see you then. ”He came up to me and hugged me. And not only that. He also gave me a kiss on the forehead.

"Good night little one," he whispered and left, leaving me with a red head high. I turned around and rang the doorbell. My father opened the door and hugged me.

"Hello little one!" He greeted me. He called me just like Paul had done. I smiled and went into the living room.
