Ahh, spa days! Definetely my favourite.
I was happy, serene and relaxed like I hadn't been in a while. All of my worries were left behind, together with the stress, the tears. The school was really doing me good.
And the manicure had done a great job on my nails.
 
I smiled, satisfied, leaving the healt centre.
 
"You look like you just had sex. Or smoked weed" said Almond, popping next to me and making me give a start. She fixed me, inquisitive. "Did you? Both? WITH THE SAME GUY?"
 
I laughed, blushing a little. "Of course not. In fact, much better. I've just had a milk and honey facial, a lava stone shiatzu, a feet massage, temple rubbing and then well, look at my nails" I showed her, proud.
 
"Ooh, much better" she nodded, not convinced.
 
"It is!" I protested. "You should try" I added.
 
"Okay" she said, quickly. "Then I guess you won't care Elliot is just here to see you"
 
I opened my eyes wide.
HE came looking for me?
Now that was weird.
 
"I do care" I specified, "but I don't mind. Nothing can go wrong today"
 
"Caramel loves spa days" explained Pearl, nodding, passing us by.
 
Both Almond and I jumped, hearing her voice.
 
"Where are you coming from?" Almond asked, laughing.
 
"The healt centre!" she simply said.
 
"Makes sense" I nodded, then waved the girls goodbye and headed to the main garden, where according to Almond Elliot was waiting for me.
 
I was calm.
CALM.
I had to be calm, it was a spa day, for god's sake.
Hair. Check. Makeup. Check (yes, I had redone it after the facial - duh). Outfit. ...check? My dress was very short, but my heels were rad, and I had a cool headband.
 
But what could he want from me?
 
Pssh. SPA DAY.
Relax.
 
And there he was, sitting on the edge of a marble fountain roded by the ages.
 
I waved at him, and walked until I reached the fountain. He nodded in my direction, saying hi with those beautiful deep blue eyes.
 
"Elliot" I smiled, sitting next to him. "So... what do you want from me?" I asked, confident, with the biggest smile.
Okay, that was cocky, I realized the second after I had said it. Shitt.
 
He did a weird face.
 
Screw me and my stupid acting over-confident.
 
"Nothing from you, I was just hanging around actually" he said.
 
"Oh, really?" I asked, quite embarassed. "Almond told me that... GOD. I'm sorry" I immediately got up, my face was getting purple. "Escusez moi, but I have to go kill someone"
 
I started walking away from him, nervous.
Whatastupidstupidjoke.
Like, I was nervous in a spa day!
 
Then I heard the weirdest sound again. Elliot laugh. It was a beutiful laugh, hearty, yet intimate, deep.
 
I turned back to look at him.
 
"No way" I said, loud so that he could hear me.
 
"You should have seen your face" he laughed.
 
I got next to him again, stading still in front of him, who was still sitting.
 
"WAS IT A STUPID, IDIOT" I started, almost screaming "A LAME - well...a good, funny joke? It was I guess. Congrats to you and Almond" I ended.
 
He looked at me like he was studying me for a while.
"Why are you so nice today?" he asked.
 
"It's a spa day" I explained, sitting again. "I can't be mad on a spa day. Which means I'll get even with Almond tomorrow"
 
"I bet so" he glanced down.
 
"Was it your idea? I know you've been smoking. Like, it shows" I asked then.
 
"No, no" he said, looking at me. "I'm not that fun, even when I smoke"
 
"That's probably right" I agreed.
 
He looked at me, giggling.
 
"What? I'm only honest" I said. So..." I asked, after a while, "where you really looking for me?"
 
He didn't answer.
"Am I so boring?" he asked again, doing a sad puppy face.
 
I burst out laughing. "Not boring at all" I stated, my voice suddenly getting low and soft. I looked away, quickly.
 
"Well may I say you're weird" he said, while I was still contemplating the garden on the other side.
 
I turned to him. "Why?"
 
"With all your traditions and fixations and spa days... And what you told me the other day"
 
"I wasn't on my right mind" I protested. I felt I was blushing.
 
"Want some more?" he asked, some way catty.
 
"Nope"
 
"It's even better this time" he continued. "I stole it from Harrison"
 
"Mhmm. Only to see if it's true" I consented, while he was pulling out a skin from his pocket.
