Defining Us

Lisa

I enter a place that was filled with commotion. People were frantically getting things done like setting the tables, the bars are filling the place up with alcohol, the DJ making sure the music and sound was good, you can see the people in the kitchen running around and my best friend who is charge of this yelling at everyone.

"No not there... the banner needs to be higher.. please tell me you have more hip hop music than this? Why aren't the candles lit up yet?"

I gave a small smile to a waiter who was just getting scolded for the lighting up the candles for the tables. I walk behind my best friend and tap her shoulder.

"Rosie..."

Rose turns around with an irritation, but once she noticed it was me, she smiles brightly and hugs me.

"Oh my gosh, you are here!"

I nod my head and I pull away. "I told you I would didn't I?"

"Yes but you don't always show up."

I roll my eyes, "Well I am here. What can I do to help?"

Rose smiles brightly, "The show is about to start..." her eyes wandered down to my outfit, "Is that what you are wearing?"

I look down at my outfit and I have on a pair of jeans and white blouse with flats. It was my day off, and I actually had enough time to get my hair done, so I was surprise how I actually dress up today. Well in my perception of dressing up. By the look of Rose, I'am positive she doesn't consider my outfit at dressing up.

"Ugh, the doors is about to open in 15 minutes,m. It's fine. You go to the back and look for Jennie, tell her I sent you and you need to get dress." Rose turns me toward the back and shoves me.

"But.."

"No but.. just go." Before I could fight back a sound of glass breaking, and in that moment, I knew Rose was doing everything she can to not throw her clipboard at someone. She close her and took a deep breath. Her eyes open back up and look at, "Please?" She begs.

Rose is a sweet person, this whole charity event is to help donate money for a local park that needs more tending. But do not underestimate her kindness, she is very capable of snapping your head off. Believe I have seen it.

Of course it wasn't a person but a teddy bear but it was just as scary.

So I did the smart thing and do as I was told. I walk toward the back where I see about ten women running around. They all look around my age in their early twenties. Of course they all were beautiful.

A few ladies were putting make up on, looking at which dress suits them and which shoes look best with their dress.

So much was going I forgot I was suppose to looking for a girl name Jennie. As I was looking around to find someone I could ask, a petite girl with long black hair and cats eyes stood in the middle.

"Ladies, the door are about to open. I suggest you all get ready and to mingle. Remember to be back here in 30 minutes." There were mummers of surprise. Jennie smiles, "Yes you heard me, 30 minutes." At that moment, you could hear the music starting and a crowd of people on the other side of the door. "Ladies, it's time."

The ladies all walked out, as I stood there in the corner. When the room was finally empty except Jennie walking around picking up clothes and etc.
I clear my throat, at that sound she turns around.

"And you are?"She questions.

"Sorry, my name is Lisa. I'm Rose friend. She sent me back here because of my clothing." I explained.
