'Wow!'.
I couldn't help but admire the dress.
I wasn't the fashion lover type but I admire something pretty when I see one.
The dress in my hands looked very pretty.
It was a mermaid one-shoulder long sleeve front split evening gown with sexy sequins.
I decided to put it on.
'Wow'. I said again.
It brought out a shape which was certainly not mine. Maybe there was something in the dress that makes the person putting it on looks sexy.
Because I was definitely not the one in the mirror.
Or is there something wrong with the mirror?
It doesn't matter though, as long as I'm pretty in it.
I packed my hair up into a rough bun and slipped on a black heels and moved to go out when I heard a knock.
'Who's it?'.
'It's the cleaner ma'am'.
'OK...hold on'.
I turned the lock and opened it for a old woman probably in her early 60s to come in.
'Good afternoon ma'am'.
'Good afternoon, and please don't call me ma'am'.
'Bu--'.
'Please'. I pouted.
'Oh, OK then....'.
'Maya'.
She frowned.
'What's wrong?'.
'Nothing, that name just rings a bell'.
'Oh, I'm sure it's another person'.
'Yeah, you're right'.
'So...what brings you here?'.
'Err--yeah--Miss Alina asked me to call you down'.
'OK, I'm on my way--'.
'Wait'.
I stopped.
'The keys, I should tidy up your room'.
I looked around the room. It was sparkly clean already.
'But there's no need for that, It's neat already...too neat for my liking'. I scrunched up my nose.
'But it's an order from above'.
'And I said I like my room to be dirty'.
'Oh .....OK then'.
We both moved out of my room we walked down the hall together while she was busy complementing my figure and how I look better than everyone in the main hall.
'I have to go now'. She told me.
'OK, bye'. I waves her and was about to continue.
'You look so much like her...and just as nice'.
'What?'.
She smiled and turned walking down the opposite hall.
I shrugged.
So many people look alike. Maybe I look like her dead daughter and that was the 'her' she was referring to.
I saw Alina at the middle of the hall and walked to her not noticing, but choosing to ignore the stares.
