Melting Snow // Coriolanus Snow

sixteen: Gold Dress

The shower in Districts were quick, just pouring cold water over the body and rubbing it off with a rag., As compare to Capitol where Sejanus had been kind enough to provide the ladies and the boys with multiple scented soaps, oils, shampoo, and a thick cream called conditioner which made her hair softer than anything.

Unlike Districts, the water supply in Capitol was also unlimited, so Alara had spend good 40 minutes enjoying her shower, for it could be her last shower that she can could enjoy and not feel as a luxury but a necessity. They didn't had any make up so after taking the shower, and drying the body and hair. Alara had decided to put on the dress, as did the others.

Standing in front of the mirror, looking at herself, she couldn't recognize herself. Alara couldn't tell who was the girl in the mirror, staring at her back, copying her actions. Because she was sure that it wasn't her.

Tigris had completely outdone herself, in the best way possible. She had sewn Alara a jumpsuit, atleast that what she called it. It was as if the pants and the top were cut from one piece and sewn together. Something Alara had never seen before.

Actually she did, it was something the workers of the coal mine wore back in district 12 but she was confused how Tigris was able to make something look so glamorous. The fabric was gold, shimmery gold. The neckline was not deep but rather kind of a horizontal which showcase Alara collar bones, as if they were sign of beauty and not a result of extreme starving and malnutrition. 

Even though the front was not deep, it was as if Tigris ran short on the fabric and decided to ditch the back. The back was open and reached almost half way down. Thank god Alara didn't had extra huge breasts and she was able to ditch her bra because otherwise the straps would be visible from behind due to lack of fabric.

Beside that the whole jumpsuit was perfect except at her waist, on the both side, a bit right above where her hip dips were. They was again huge diamond shape cutout, which once again showed the skin of the side of her waist.

It was done so perfectly that, the lack of fabric made her look regal and perfect. She was shocked to say that she didn't and showing her back and the side of her waist.

"Alara are you ready?" At the sound of Inna voice, Alara turned to look at the girl trying to get her opinion on the dress. But she saw the way the other girl who was dressed in a red dress with layers and layers and layers of gold fabric giving it a beautiful flowy look.

"Oh my goodness who are you!" Inna gasped and rushed toward her, holding her by the shoulders and look at her from feet to shoulders. "Do you like it?" Alara asked and inna kissed the girl face softly, "Yes Absolutely adore it. Gah i am so jealous now!!" Inna screamed at the girl, and gave her a tight hug which was returned.

After hugging for a while the girls step back from each other, and with Alara's hands still in Inna, she tried to drag the girl put of the room "Come on Victor is doing everyone eyes! You are next"

Smiling and excited, Alara walked out of their room and towards the other room where all the other boys were lounging. She stepped in to see Egan, her brother sitting down on bed while Victor was hunched over him, carefully lining his eye with black kohl.

Alara eyes went to Polo who was fixing his shirt, and then at Nyx who was lounging over the side couch, a cigarette in his hands, his bright moss green eyes covered by black kohl that Victor has blended to perfection, along with hints of gold shimmer on it.

Alara realized that if only Nyx wasn't gay, or her best friend, she would 100% jump his bones. But she only smirked at him "Looking good, hot shot" She muttered and in return the guy exhaled smoke from his nose.
