"I'll be right back," I tell the girls and leave them to themselves.

I practically run to the bathroom, carrying my dress in my hands. I stare into my eyes in the mirror, my breathing coming in heavy. I don't know hat to do. Of course, I know what i should do, but I'm not sure if I actually have the guts to do it. I grab a paper towel from the dispenser and fix my make-up which had been messed up by the sweat. Then I exit the bathroom

I walk over to the big doors we'd walked into only twenty minutes ago. We were among the last ones to enter the Gala, so outside the doors is purely just socializing photographers and paparazzi.

I barely crack open the door and peek outside. I slip myself through the doors and step to the side and duck behind a plant, out of sight. I glance around, looking for someone, anyone. Then I see her.

She has dark, slightly curly, long hair, brown eyes, and warm toned skin. She's on the younger side, maybe a year or two older than me. She's looking at a large camera, probably scrolling through pictures she'd taken earlier.

I approach her with a smile on my face, hoping she won't think she's in trouble, or that something is wrong, even when is clearly is.

"Hey," I greet her.

She looks up, startled. Then her eyes widen as she takes in my outfit and realizes who exactly I am.

"Hey," I glance at her name tag, "Mikaela Shirman?"

She follows my gaze to her name tag. "Umm, yes ma'am. That's me. Can I help you?"

"More like I can help you. How would you like an escorted entrance to the party inside? I could bring you in and no one would know the difference between you and anyone in there?" Mikaela's eyes widen as I explain. "Just one thing. Take alot of pictures, and film the whole thing. And then when you leave, i'm going to need you to post it immediately. And never, ever tell anyone that i let you in, okay?"

Her jaw drops, and slowly nods. I can tell she's trying to suppress her excitement.

"Thank you so much, ma'am. This could be my big break!"

"I know, now come!"

I lead her back towards the doors, and she follows. I hold the door open for her and elt her in first. I glance around at the other photographers, hoping I was undetechted before following her inside.

Later, I will realy have wished that I had seen that camera go off.
