♥Enchanted Psyche♦ Chapter 1―The Wedding Wake-Up Call.

         She pulled the sheets away from me, which fell onto the ground with a soft rustle. She stared at me, waiting, with light blue eyes. She has thick, glossy and lightly curled light brown hair that almost reached her hips. She always kept as little make-up on as possible, which she was always trying to prove that no girl ever needed layers and layers of make-up and, that we women are beautiful inside and out and make-up is just something you hide under. This is something I only half agree with. I of course agree when she said that it's something to hide under, but then again it does emphasize your beauty. Doesn't it?

         Lisa was working and managing her own beauty salon 'Hot-Sparkle', for quite some time now, which was quite popular in our local area. The bad thing was that another salon has been opened a month back and there's always competition to receive good customers and then doing her best to keep them, which I must say she's doing quite well. She was quite the chatter-box. The good was that I get free service every time I got there. Not. Well not all the time, she says that it was taking advantage. And of course it was, I won't to argue with that.

         "Now!" Lisa shouted at me, bringing me out of my thoughts.

         I didn't give up and stayed in that same position; my hands folded over my head, my eyes sleepily shut and my knees folded half way up. I hated it when I was awoken early than usual. Anyway, why is she waking me up in the first place? Isn't it Sunday today? Oh, well. I sighed heavily and turned onto my other side. "Just five half an hour more..." I murmured.

         "How can you sleep at a time like this?" Lisa shrilled at me, while grabbing my black, rectangular spectacles and holding them out for me.

         It looked more like an order of hers as I squinted at her. "Have you finally and thankfully turned insane, Lisa Dark?" I asked. I always addressed anyone by their full names when I got angry or somewhat upset or annoyed. And frankly, right now I wanted to annoy her. I closed my eyes again, letting myself relax. I could just imagine her ears puffing with steam, her nose flaring in and out in a flaming fire, her wavy, frizzy hair blowing behind her as a gust of strong wind blows in her face, emphasizing her irritation.

         "Are you getting up or shall I kick your ass?" Lisa asked me calmly.

         I laughed, but it was muffled behind my hands.

         "What are you laughing at?!" Lisa snapped at me.

         "Nothing - I'll get up," I replied snickering at her as I swung my legs over the side of my bed. My bed's duvet and sheets was of light grey and deep red, which also matched my pillows and curtains of my bedroom. I just love matched things, but I liked randomness as well sometimes. I always wanted my room spacious and neat, but some days I just cannot be bothered with anything, which is beginning to change into a lot of frequent occurrences.

         "Today, please!" Lisa shrilled at me and I gave her a look of utter boredom, which made her widen her light blue eyes more in frustration. She sighed heavily, I wouldn't be surprised if she breathed out hot fire, just like the orange shaded in Dragon she'd painted. Lisa was always the one interested in the mythical side of this world, for example; Vampires, the creatures of the night, Werewolves, the creatures of the full moon, Mermaids, the creatures of the sea, and so on and so forth. She always added something relevant after like these examples.

         "You're so stubborn," Lisa observed, looking at me and shaking her head. "The wedding is this today, and you're too busy to-"

         I abruptly sat up, my steely-gray eyes wide with a jolt, like as if someone had thrown a bucket of freezing cold water on me. "What Wedding?" I asked stupidly, "The wedding? The wedding. Oh, right yeah, the wedding, Lisa!" I screeched, 2The wedding! It's today and I almost forgot to collect our bridesmaid dresses!" I was unconsciously gesturing around with my hands with the palms upwards like claws.

         Lisa shook away her look of astonishment that she had on her expression after hearing my baffling words. "Anyway, I tried to tell you," Lisa told me sympathetically. "I can't go with. You'll have to go, you remember."

         "God, Lisa, where were you sooner?" I asked her, irritated at being woken up at such a late time, especially when it's her elder brother, Shaffi's, and her soon to be sister in-law, Kim's wedding.

         I bounded off and into my bedroom-connected-bathroom and shut the door behind me. I glimpsed myself in the mirror; my abnormally silver hair that was streaked with thin, black streaks was chaotic as hell, which always made me cringe at its messiness. My night clothes, which aren't anything of a special set, were a grayish-blue. I undressed and hopped into the shower and turned it on. I screamed at the coldness of the water.

         "Oh, yeah, one more thing," Lisa called to me from behind the door of the crack, "the boiler stopped working again."

         "Damn it!" I replied back to her. "I'm going to die some day!"

         "Oh, stop being such a drama queen!" Lisa teased me. "Hurry up and collect your dress, I would've got it for you but I have to dash over to Jamie's. He's waiting for me downstairs. We have to go pick up dad from the hospital - thank the Lord he's better enough to come home - so see ya!"

         "Alright," I said.

         After the shower I hastily chose a simple white t-shirt and some dark blue jeans. I ran my hands over my head and as expected it the moisture magically evaporated in a matter of seconds. I thought to myself that I'd get ready fully after I bring my dress from the shop, then at least I'll take my time, although, my time is only just less than two hours now.
