I sat on Bellas bed, wearing the stupid tie she made me put on to 'make this seem more real.'
She adjusted her skirt in the mirror before turning on her heels and smiling, "Okay, I'm ready. Now again from the top!"
I sighed. I put my fake dude voice on and asked, "Bella, you wanna be my girlfriend or whatever?"
She sat down on the bed and crossed her legs, tugging on my tie, "Of course Detroit."
I pulled my tie out of her grip and asked in my regular voice now, "Do you have enough practice now? That was like the tenth time."
"I guess so," She said while standing up. I took my tie off and threw it at her laundry basket, not saying anything when I missed and it landed on the ground.
She asked me, "Is Casper picking you up in the morning before Detroit comes?"
"Yea. It's like a 6 hour drive so we're leaving at 10."
She nodded, pulling her t shirt off and putting a comfortable sweatshirt on. She turned around and looked at me, letting out a sigh and frowning.
She walked over and jumped on me, giving me a hug and making me fall backward onto the bed. I laughed as I hugged her back and asked, "What is it?"
She said with a muffled voice from my shirt, "I'm gonna miss you when you go to Spain."
I hugged her a little tighter, knowing I'm gonna miss her too. But unlike Casper, she will be able to come and visit me.
She pushed herself back up and sat on her knees. She told me sternly, "You better not make any friends that you like more than me. Seriously. I'll freak out."
"Don't worry, Bella. I won't," I assured her.
Her face lit up like she just remembered something. She smacked her forehead and said, "I meant to tell you earlier. Charlie stopped me as I was leaving campus today to ask me for your number. Don't worry, I told him I didn't have it memorized and didn't have my phone with me even though both of those were lies."
I bit the inside of my mouth. I wasn't sure why Charlie was asking for my number, but I'm sure it was just something school related.
She turned her TV on as I told her, "I'll see what he wanted after this weekend."
"How romantic is Niagara Falls!" She smiled at me over her shoulder while picking a movie, "More romantic than New Jersey. But Detroit can't exactly pick where he has to go and kill people, I guess."
I laughed slightly, "You really don't care at all about him being an assassin, huh?"
"Nope! More fun than something boring like a teacher," She replied, popping the 'p' in nope.
She put the remote down on her nightstand and pulled the covers down for us to get under. We got in and set our pillows up, watching a movie before bed.
I felt my phone vibrate beside me. Casper texted me, 'See you in the morning, my love.'
I smiled to myself like an idiot, biting my bottom lip as I turned my head to look back at the movie.

I combed my wet hair after getting out of the shower, trying to go a little faster since Casper was gonna be here in 15 minutes.
Bella entered the bathroom and her jaw dropped seeing me. She cheered, "Aurelia! You look fucking hot! Why can't you be bi like me?"
I stared at my reflection in the mirror again. I did put more make up on than usual today and wore more revealing clothing. I didn't want to blow dry my hair because it dries frizzy and I didn't have time to straighten my hair after.
