Chapter 6
I could hear noise downstairs but I wasn't sure if they were leaving already, so I got off my bed stood infront of my door to listen for any movements. Betty's idea was a risky for me, I know that but I want to attend this party. I heard footsteps coming toward my room, I run to my bed and sat quitely on the bed and took a novel and pretend to read. I knew who was at the door, Florida, I expected her to open the door like always but she didn't nor did she knock.
"Krystal, are you in there?" She asked, I rolled my eyes. What was she expecting since she said am not supposed to leave.
"Am inside"
"Okay" she signed. "Am taking the twins to the party, I won't be back soon am going to see my friends I will be back before twelve. So lock the door on our way out" she announced.
I heard the footsteps again but this time they were fading away, it means she was leaving. I placed the novel aside and got off my bed walking to the window, I opened curtain small enough see them exiting without them noticing am watching them from above. Beatrice and Bethany were already in the car when Florida chose the right time to show up. Bethany laughed at something Beatrice was showing her from her phone. Soon the engine started and the car exited out of the compound. I breathed out with relief after the car disappeared infront of my eyes.
Walking back at my phone ready to send a message to Betty that they have left, but I was interrupted by the bell downstairs. A realization hit my head before Florida left she told me to lock the door but I didn't, who is the person downstairs. I started going out of my room going downstairs to the door, I opened the door with confidence to find Betty on the front with a bag in her hand.
She stretched her hands "Suprised?" She smiled, I smiled back nodding letting her in.
"Where you watching my house, waiting Florida to leave?" I asked closing the door behind.
"You can say that again," I turned to face her she looking around the house. "Its long since have been here, I almost forgot how it looks likes " I chuckled looking at the bag in her hand. Not only, that she wasn't prepared at all for the party.
"What's in it?" I pointed the bag,her gaze went to the bag on her hand and grinned to me.
"Cosmetics and dresses, we have to rock" she raised her hand showing me the bag.
I didn't want to argue that I didn't want to apply any Cosmetics, we went to my room upstairs. She puts the bag on the bed and look around my room.
"But your room has changed, what happened to the pink color that covered whole room?" She asked. "Now your room is..."
"Grey? I know. I changed the room." I cut her off, I didn't want to tell her about what happened that am in this room and what happened to my old room. "Shall we prepare ourselves, we will get late"
"Better late than never"
Betty opened the bag moving out everything in it, I picked my dress and stared at it. Even though pink was my favorite color but aquamarine was beautiful too. Betty offered to change her clothes coming back with silk purple dress, drawing her out most of her feminine figure it was loose from the bottom to her knees. The sleeves suit her perfectly.
"How do I look?" She asked me with innocent eyes popping out.
"Beautiful" she smiled at me.
She told me to change my dress too while she fix her makeup, my dress fixed me perfectly. A summer dress suitable for party, I walked out of the changing room to my room. Betty was done with her makeup and complained I took long to change. I sat looking at the mirror as she does my makeup.
