HAPPY BIRTHDAY

THE CELEBRATION DAY came fast.Willow had helped me so much since she disagreed with my ideas. She insisted that I had to wear a dress to the celebration, even though I said I was fine with wearing my normal clothes, although I only had the one set of clothes and even though I'd got them washed they were becoming slightly dull.

She'd even gone and found me a hairstyle, practicing whenever she could on my hair.

I had to admit, I did like the dress a lot and the hairstyle made me look at least somewhat decent.

"I'm helping you now." Willow barged into my room where I lay on the bed in thought.

I got up, startled.

She was holding two dresses in one hand and in the other she had brushes, combs and pins of all sizes.

"It's so early though," I protested.

"How do you think girls get dolled up if they don't start in advance."

Willow was like Hannah, there was absolutley no point in arguing.

"Am I late?"

I heard Hannah's familiar sweet voice outside the open door of my bedroom.

"Not at all, just in time," Willow smiled.

Hannah closed the door.

She was carrying her own dress over one hand and looked rather excited.

"Why are we doing this in my room?" I groaned.

"Because it's convinent."

Willow smiled, holding up my dress in front of me.

"You want me to get changed?"

"Yes.

Have you washed your hair?" Hannah asked.

"No...why?"

I was a little worried at how they might react.

"Good grief.

You have to have a wash first," Willow pulled the dress away from me placing it neatly on my bed.

"What?" I didn't want to have to wash just for a party.

"Alexandra."

Hannah said sternly and I was in the bathroom instantly, washing my hair.

I had left my old bath water there, although it was now cold it was very useful for washing my hair.

Hannah and Willow were a perfect team, so alike, they both had a strong hold over me.

"Hurry."
