Being Celeste (21 page)

I reserve the right to rephrase any
statements I made earlier. In the beginning it was all about being kissed and
having a boyfriend. Now I have
that
and more. The boy who broke my curse
is incredibly handsome and he likes me for who I am. He doesn’t care that I’m
not skinny and he called me beautiful. I probably won’t go out with him because
I’m still kind of pissed about the bet. But he kissed me, and I don’t think that
was a bet. I won’t make it easy for him, because I’m not a cheap babe, you
know. I don’t know if I can trust my feelings however, because I still think he
can make the perfect first boyfriend. I have an amazing best friend and family,
and it’s safe to say that I have grown up a lot. Now a person can look at my
life and think, “Now there goes a twenty-one year old”, instead of eleven. I
used to yearn for life in the movies, romance; now you can add all
that
to my resume too. All I can do now is mentally go to the land of the happy and
stay there for a while. Oh, I think I’m going to like it here.

So in the end, I can safely say that I’m
finally getting what I want out of life. My parents’ are supportive of my
decision to become a fashion designer (my father says that even if it means
selling all his cattle to get my tuition money, he’ll do it. I was so touched
by that.), Kate is on her way to becoming a supermodel, my older sister is on
her way to being a stepmother, and I have been kissed. So here’s to me, Celeste
Seipati Mokone, the girl who has it all figured out...for now.
