"Ryan you are so amazing." Kendall groaned as the sexy masseuse worked the knots out of her back.
"Yes, thank you." Christie agreed as a second coat was painted on to her toenails.
Ryan decided to take all my friends to the spa along with us. We were all getting mani-pedis, massaged, mud baths, hot rock treatments, and just about anything else they had to offer.
Apparently Ryan's mom came to this particular spa one day on a vacation a few years back. When she was getting a hot rock treatment they burned her and left a scar so they paid for her skin graph and gave her a lifetime membership to the spa. Something I was definitely going to start exploiting.
"I want to get this avocado face mask, but I hate the idea of something hardening on my face." I frowned.
"Want me to get it with you?" Danielle asked.
"Please," I responded gratefully.
"So Rose," Ryan started as the lady started spreading the avocado mask on my face. "What are you and Vincent doing after prom?"
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"You know what I mean," He answered.
"We're not doing that, if that's what you're thinking. Thats not something we're going to plan if you must know. When it hapoens it happens."
"You know its all just setting in to me," Christie said.
"What do you mean?" Megan asked.
"Guys, we're seniors. This is our last year of high school. These are our last moments."
"You're right. It seems like everything happened so quickly. We're going to be graduating in a few weeks and then we'll be off to college months after." Kendall responded.
"Its a scary and relieving feeling," I added.
"Yeah," everyone agreed simultaneously.
That kept us silent in thouht for a while. The peace gave me a chance to really think about things.
In a few months, Vincent and I would be going off to college togther. Our relationship wouldn't be that same little high school love. This could be the beginning of a long life together. The thoughg was new and scary, but strangely I liked it. I loved Vincent and though I wasn't completely sure what i wanted, the thought of spending the rest of my life with Vincent was somehow welcoming.
I started also thinking about everything that happened this year. Moving in with my mom; meeting
Vincent; making that ridiculous bet; and even dealing with the sleazy skank known as Jessica. With all the memories running through my head, I started lauging, earning questioning glances from all my friends.
"What's so funny?" Kendall asked.
"I was just thinking about everything that's happened recently."
"Yeah, this has been a very crazy year," Danielle added.
"Remember when Tyler came to school with only half an eyebrow because his little brother had waxed it off the night before?" Megan laughed.
"Or when someone filled Mr. Ramirez's car with water ballons." Christie laughed.
I tried to smile but the face mask was hardening so I probably just looked psychotic. "How long am I supposed to have this on?" I asked the spa lady.
"Just a few more minutes and I'll take it off."
I nodded and tuned back into the conversation.
"Hey Rose," Christie started. "Do you ever miss Michigan."
I let the lady take the mask off my face and wash it before answering. "Everyday." I smiled. "Michigan will always be my home. I love it, but my heart is here now. I love Ryan and my dad to pieces, but I couldn't imagine my life without all of you guys, or Vincent. You guys don't have to worry, I wont be leaving anytime soon."
"Thank God," Christie sighed. "If you left Kai would be a nervous reck."
We all laughed knowing that Kai was still scared to talk to Christie but with my gentle touch and threatening words, he's been forced to come out of his shell.
"Do you guys wanna have a pre-prom sleepover?" Ryan asked excitedly.
"Yes!" We all cheered in agreement.
We spent a few more hours at the spa just relaxing and getting pampered, then we left and agreed to meet up back at my house in a few hours.
"So what all do you think we're egonna need for this little idea of yours." I asked Ryan as we drove to the market.
"Well I was thinking of a throwback kind of thing back to when we were twelve." He laughed. "We're almost adults soon we won't be able to act like that."
I smiled because I loved the idea was right. As we walked through store, we stocked our cart with feather boas, bubble bath, and tons of chips, cakes, candy, and drinks.
-----------
"If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friend. Make it last forever, friendship never ends!" Kendall and Danielle sang in unison. Kendall tossed her feather boa over her neck and continued dancing around the room with us.
We were having an absolute blast. We were singing and dancing anf just having an all around good time. We'd already downed our secong gallon of rocky road ice cream and it wasn't even midnight. There was no way we were going to fit in our dresses tomorrow.
"You know what I was thinking?" Ryan said randomly as he turned the music off.
The rest of us stopped dancing and waited for him to continue.
"Giant bubble bath."
And with that we were all changing into our swim wear and filling the hot tub up with bubble bath. We had to dump at least three bottles of bubble bath in the hot tub.
"My mom is going to kill me." I laughed, cutting the power jets on.
The bubble bath started working its magic and the hot tub began to overflow with bubbles just in time because everyone started walking out the house into the backyard.
"This is gonna be so epic." Christie squealed.
I decided that the hot tub had made enough bubbles so cut the power jets off and turned towards my friends.
"You guys ready? I smiled.
No one answered, they all just stared at me.
"Uh guys?" I waved my hands in the air crazily.
"Um, Rose, I think you might want to turn around." Megan pointed.
"What are you- Holy grapefruits!" Turns out the power jets have a faster and harder power when you hit the button a second time. The bubbles had formed a huge mountain of bubbles and they'd also began to scatter all across the lawn.
I hurriedly ran into the mass of bubbles(which completely swallowed me whole might I add) and turned the power jets off. When I came out of the bubbles, I was covered in them from head to toe. I let my hands fall to my side and some bubbles went flying onto Megan's face. She scopped them off of herself and flicked them at Danielle.
A mischievous smile grew on her face and I already knew what was going to happen. "Bubble fight!" She screamed.
Everyone took off to the mountain of bubbles and we began flinging them at each other.
"Die Captain Cranium!" Dani screamed, flinging a bunch of bubbles at Megan.
"I'm so going to get you for that." She yelled back.
Everyone else was chasing each other and throwing the bubble foam everywhere. I decided to seek refuge behind a lawn chair on the far side of the pool.
"Hey guys," Ryan called. "Looks like little Rosalie is M.I.A"
"Oh Rose," they started calling in unison, making sure to drag they're words. "Where are you?"
I mentally cursed Ryan for calling me out. I was already covered in bubbles from head to toe so I didn't really care if one person would have found me, but now that the whole flock was looking for me I knew that I was in for the worst.
"Found her!" Kendall signaled to everyone, locking both of her hands around my arm.
I tried to pull away but her grip was too tight. "Come on Kendall, You don't have to do this." I tried to reason, but it was too late. Everyone had already made it over to where we were and tgey each grabbed one of my limbs.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Christie grinned crazily.
"Oh yeah." Ryan smirked.
With one big toss my body went soaring in the air. It wasn't long before the cold chilly water of the pool engulfed my body. Even though I knew they were going to throw me in the pool, I still didn't think about holding my breath. As soon my head went under, the water began to fill my lungs and I knew I needed to get back to the surface before I drowned. I gained my composure and swam to the edge pool before resurfacing.
"You bitches!" I mangaged to sputter out between coughs.
Everyone was cracking up and clutching their stomachs.
"Are you okay?" Megan asked, trying to contain her laughter.
I lifted myself out of the pool and stood in front of her. "Do I look okay."
She stopped holding her laughter in and walked away cackling.
I groaned and started ringing the water out of my hair. "I seriously hate you guys."
I walked past them and stormed into the house. Tom was in the kitchen searching through the fridge. As soon as he saw me his face formed a look of confusion.
"Honey, why is Rose soaking wet?"
"She better not be dripping on the rugs."
"I'm not." I lied, chuckling with Tom.
Everyone came in from outside and thankfully they were finished laughing at my misery. At the same time my mom came down the stairs with an evil glint in her eyes. The room went silent.
"Can anyone tell me why when I opened my balcony door I saw bubbles all over my rose garden?"
We all started pointing at each other and blaming one another. Ryan said ot was Kendall's fault for throwing bubbles at him while he was beside them. Kendall said it was Dani's fault for telling her to attack Ryan in the first place. It just became an endless cycle of blame until it all fell back onto Ryan and me.
"We're really sorry." Ryan said hanging his head.
"You're lucky you guys have prom tomorrow. Otherwise, I'd ground you all. Now go back upstairs and stay the hell out of my yard."
We all scurried up the stairs before she could yell at us.
"Geez, what happend to your mom being so chill?" Christie asked.
"Don't mess with the lady's flowers. She gets psycho." Ryan joked playfully
"I heard that." She yelled passing my door and continuing down the hallway.
We laughed a bit before a wave of yawns engulfed the room. "I'm tired," Kendal sighed.
"Yeah me too. You guys ready for bed?" Megan said in agreement
"Yeah, we have a big day tomorrow." Ryan said.
"Well I'm going to go get this chlorine off of my body. Ryan show them to the bathrooms and the guest rooms so they can shower and go to sleep."
I walked into my own bathroom and immediately took a long hot shower. By the time I finally dried my hair and laid in the bed beside Ryan, I had one thought in my head; prom.
