MACKENZIE'S POV 

The night of the party finally arrived, and I found myself standing in front of the mirror, hardly recognizing the girl in staring back at me. The black mini-dress Crystal had picked out hugged my figure in all the right places , making me look effortlessly stunning . My hair , styled in loose waves, cascaded down my shoulders , and my makeup was just the right balance between bold and subtle . I felt.....powerful. For the first time in a long time , I wasn't just blending into the background . 

Crystal , as always , looked flawless in her red crop top and high-waisted shorts , her confidence radiating from her like a beacon. "We look fire ," she declared , grinning as we posed together for one last picture before heading out . "Daniel's party won't know what hit it."

As we arrived at the Bright mansion , I couldn't help but marvel at the sheer scale of the place . The mansion was enormous , glittering under the night sky , with the sound of music thumping in the air and laughter echoing from every corner . The sprawling lawn was dotted with groups of people chatting , drinking , and taking in the luxurious surroundings . It was the kind of party that made you feel like you were stepping into another world-a world where money and status ruled. For us common folk this was a once in a lifetime heaven . 

As we stepped through the grand entrance , heads turned. It wasn't just the usual glances people gave when new arrivals showed up-it was more. I could feel the eyes on me, feel the way people whispered as they passed by . It was a strange , exhilarating sensation to be noticed like this . I wasn't used to being the centre of attention, but tonight , I didn't mind. Crystal nudged me playfully. "Told you , MC. You look beyond stunning."

I smiled , trying to shake off the nervous energy bubbling inside me. We made our way to the dance floor, where the bass of the music pounded beneath our feet, the crowd of dancers moving in sync with the beat. For a while , I let myself get lost in the music , laughing with Crystal as we danced , the tension of the last few days slowly melting away. Just as I was starting to relax, I felt a presence behind me. I turned to see Chen , my boyfriend , walking up to me with his usual cocky grin plastered across his face.
