Ink Blot

Chapter Eight:The Big Night At Last...Good or Bad?

So,now that I know what Jase is,I learned a lot of things that make a lot of sense.Firstly,he doesn't sleep.He did when he lived inside of my mind,but he doesn't now.

He also can't eat.That makes a lot of sense because he never ate around anyone.He has no need to eat,since he is made of ink and paper.

The most important thing about Jase not being human:He can't get wet.I mean,not at all.That's kind of obvious though.I mean,he's made of paper and ink(as I've already said).I guess that throws my dream of being kissed in the rain away.......

Anyways,the big dance was tonight.I guess Jase didn't actually need to go and buy a tux.All my grandma had to do was have me draw one and use her magic to get it on him.I had to spend the whole day with my mom getting me ready.She acted like it was my wedding.The entire time she was getting me ready,I was still trying to grasp the fact that Jase wasn't human.It was just weird...He couldn't touch me...I still couldn't admit the fact that that wasn't good or bad.

I still don't know how I feel about him.I think about him a lot,and I get butterflies.But that doesn't mean that I love him or anything.I've never loved anyone like that before.It's just weird...

"Done!What do you think,dear?"My mom spun me around in the chair so that I was facing the mirror.I was stunned when I saw it.My usually straight,balck hair was curled.Most of my hair was put up in a curly,beautiful bun.Many strands of curly black hair were hanging out of the bun around my head.

My makeup looked just as stunning.My mom had spend at least an hour watching smokey eyes makeup tutorials and used it on me.I also had diamond earrings and a matching necklace.The last thing that I needed were heels.I had a pair in my closet.I hated my heels.I was sure that by the end of the night,I'd be flat on my face.Lying on concrete.

"Mom,I love it!"I stood up and did a 360 degree spin.

"Stop that!"She put her hands on my shoulders.She checked the clock."You should probably get downstairs so that your grandma can get pictures."She looked around then came up close to me."Don't let her do anything crazy."She whispered.

"Got it."I smiled and headed down the stairs to the living room.When I got down there,I was shocked.Jase looked amazing.I already  knew that my grandma had used some type of spell to get him into a suit,but he looked incredible.He smiled when he saw me.

"Don't say it.I know I look bad.I hate dresses."I mumbled.

"I was going to say that you looked absolutely gordeous.I think you're bad at mind reading.."He teased.I tried hard not to blush,but it happened anyways.He didn't have anything to say about it,unlike every other time.He just smiled.

"Alright,everyone!Are you two ready for pictures?"My grandma came in with the camera.

"Yeah."I said.

"Well,get together.I'm not taking a picture that looks like you two are afraid of each other!"She yelled.Jase and I got close together.He put his arm around my waste gently.I didn't touch him.I learned my lesson in the park.

After listening to my mom and grandma talk forever,Jase and I finally left.We just walked there.It was no trouble.I would have either had to pay for a limo,or had my mom drop us off.I can't afford a limo,so that was a no,and I knew that if my mom had driven us,it would have been so awkward...

When we got there,Debby and Syd were waiting for us.Their dates were with them.Syd's date was so much taller than her.He was really nice,but extremely quiet.He practically just said hi and then listened the entire time.Debby's date was funny and outgoing.But he only stuck around for the first part of the dance.Once he and Debby got their pictures,he ditched her to go hang out with his other friends.

It was all so much fun until the middle of the dance...When the slow dancing started.Jase and I just kind of sat there awkwardly while everyone else made their way out to the dance floor.Debby knew what was going on.Since she didn't have her date,she sat with us.

Jase looked at me,"Let's go."

I gave him a confused look,"You want to leave?Well that sounds alright,I guess.We can't dance anyways."

"No.I don't want to leave.Why would I want to cut this night short?You look more beautiful than anything that I could have ever imagined.I mean,let's go dance."

"Are you crazy?!"I hissed,"You'll get hurt if I touch you!"

"That's a risk I'm willing to take.I won't be here forever,Kyla.Let's just make the best of this."A shot of worry flew to my stomach as he said that.He was right. he wouldn't be there forever.

Before I could respond,he was already walking to the dance floor and I found myself following him...This couldn't end well...
