Today was the ball day. I woke up early to get ready. The Girls were coming to get ready with me. Nobody knew that I had a date and he was Gilbert. "Can I come in?" "Yeah mom you can." "Hello darling." She said "Hi mom" I said "Wich dress are you going to wear?" She asked "This one mom." I answered and showed her the dress that I was going to wear. "This is beautiful Betty." She said "I know mom, you bought it." I said chuckling "Okay get ready I will not disturb you." "It's okay mom, anyways Anne and Diana will come to get ready together." I said "Okay" She said and turned to leave as I said "Wait, one more thing."I said "Okay, go ahead." "I will not come with you and girls today."I said nervous a bit "Hmm, then with who?" She said "With my date." I said "It's Gilbert isn't it." My eyes widened at her words as I wanted to say how do you know but she answered before I could ask. "That was too obvious." She said chuckling and left. I just stood there and started to think why was that too obvious to my mother, as my thoughts were interrupted by my mom's voice. "Betty Anne and Diana are here!" She yelled "Coming!" I said and went downstairs "Hello Anne, hello Diana" I greeted two best friends as they came in "Hello" "Hi" "Lets go to my room and not to waste time."

"Okay change the subject." Diana said "I agree, did you guys brought your dresses?" "Yes I did." They answered at the same time "Show me and then we will try them on." Anne showed me the dress from yesterday, and Diana showed us a beautiful yellow dress. "It's beautiful girls."
