𝔸s the alarm's beeping pierced the air, Stella stirred from her dreams, her excitement bubbling despite the early hour of 11 am. She made her way to the bathroom, catching sight of her reflection in the mirror, only to be met with a sudden scream that echoed through the house. Startled, the children quickly gathered around the bathroom, drawn by the sound.
Leo : what!
Stella : I am so ugly!
Leo and the other boys let out exasperated sighs and departed, leaving Stella surrounded only by the girls.
Emma : no you're not you're just messy.
Clare : untidy.
Lily : you need to brush your hair.
Stella : no you don't understand me, I have an event tonight, and I want to be pretty and neat.
Lily : then you want to be stunning.
Stella : exactly.
Emma : why? Is Aryan there.
Laughter erupted among the girls as they exchanged knowing glances before focusing their attention back on Stella.
Stella : NO! maybe yes, he can't see me like that, plus it's a big event I have to look wealthy and elegant.
Clare : leave it on me. But first we need a dress.
The girls took Stella to the mall. They entered many shops and tried numerous dresses. Stella's taste didn't quite match the latest trends; she gravitated towards old-fashioned dresses with excessive sparkles and eccentric colors. It was evident to the girls that this was likely her first time selecting a dress. Each time Stella chose a dress, the girls exchanged knowing looks and subtle head shakes. Stella experimented with various styles, from short matte dresses to long vibrant ones, from messy colorful prints to dull monochromes, finding herself in either overly revealing or overly conservative outfits. However, amidst all her trials, there was one dress that left the girls speechless.
When Stella emerged from behind the curtain in this particular dress, their jaws dropped in unison. It was a stunning black, sparkly gown, accentuating her collarbones and shoulders. The dress featured a daring slit that ran from the right leg down to the floor, showcasing just the right amount of skin. Stella's simple yet elegant curves seemed to mould the dress perfectly, as if it had been custom-made for her.
Stella was not yet complete as the girls decided to take her to a salon in the mall. As she settled into a comfortable chair, a sense of anticipation filled the air. With a mask on her face and cucumber slices over her eyes, Stella was surrounded by a flurry of activity. One girl worked on painting her nails, while another diligently cleaned and pampered her feet. Above her, a stylist washed and styled her hair with precision and care.
Stella : uh, am I in heaven?
The blow dryer hummed to life, shaping her hair into a work of art. With skillful hands, the stylist trimmed and shaped Stella's locks, creating a look that was both sophisticated and glamorous. Layers and cuts gave her hair a new-found volume and bounce, adding a touch of elegance to her appearance.
Stella's hair, now transformed, fell in thick, luscious waves that framed her face perfectly. The straight top added a sleek sophistication, while the wavy ends added a soft, romantic touch. As she ran her fingers through her hair, a smile of satisfaction played on her lips.
As the salon session came to an end, Stella felt like a new woman.
But it was not the end yet, The girls, fueled by excitement and determination, led Stella to a luxurious shoe boutique. The scent of leather and polish permeated the air as they perused row after row of glamorous footwear. Stella's eyes sparkled as she laid her gaze on a stunning pair of sleek, black stilettos.
