Learning To Love

| Cynthia Smith | Saturday, September 19th |

The girls and I spent the whole day getting ready for the party. We each had a different section of the house to organize. My house was pretty big on the inside, plus we had a pool in the backyard. I was to decorate the venue and the pool, everything outside basically. Gabrielle was a neat freak, so she was to clean, arranging, and decorating the living room, the lighting, you know the works. April was in charge of the kitchen and the food. She made snakes, drinks, bought ice cream, appetizers, and food for the whole night. There was a drink or two that contained alcohol, but she had that locked up. She fixed the table and got the music perfect.

The theme was 'Cool, Calm and Collected' with a hint of wet 'pool' seductiveness. We planned it all night, and now we're finally done. Once we all finished our jobs we gathered in my room and took out our outfits and went our separate ways. Gabrielle and I used the bathrooms upstairs to get ready, and April used the bathroom in the guest room.

I grabbed my dress, shoes, and makeup and locked myself in the bathroom. I took a cold shower and wrapped a towel around myself and sat in front of the mirror and started applying makeup. I was going to wear a short dazzling blue dress, with a corset, look-alike top, that was decorated with stones and curly swirls at the bottom, and since the party planning was half a pool party underneath my elegant blue dress, I wore a sexy designed black one-piece swimming suit.

Ahh! I can't believe the day is finally here. We're going to have so much fun. I'm going to make sure of it! And I am going to look gorgeous! Just you wait and see. I'll leave Zeke no choice but to wrap himself around my finger.

I placed a light blue eyeshadow and black eyeliner and a little bit of pink blush with red lipstick to make my skin color pop. I flat ironed my hair and let it fall straight down my back. After I finished my makeup I put on my amazingly cute dress and put on some pretty circle-shaped earrings and a bracelet that matched the stones on my dress, and to finish it off I put on my black, blue with silver high heels I bought this same week with April.

"Ohh look at yourself girl, you on FI-YAA!! No man is going want to keep his eyes off you, and hopefully one of them is Zeke." I giggled to myself. I smiled and winked to myself in the mirror before going downstairs to welcome people to the party since it was ten past seven.

I was in the bathroom in the basement.

I just finished taking a cold shower and was getting my things ready. I don't wear makeup, so I just added some eyeliner to make my eyes look darker and so my hazel eyes would pop, and beige eye shadow.

I prefer pink lipstick or lip gloss because it complements my skin. I then combed out my long black hair and started curling the ends, giving it that straight curly-wavy look that I loved so much. Next was the swimming suit. I had a black and green normal bikini, because I liked dark colors, and know the dress. Every girl has her style. Mine was simple. I knew Cynthia would choose some sort of glamorous either stoned, bedazzled, or showy dress because that's her style and it complements her character. I knew Gabrielle would choose a sexy silky type dress something fun and free because like Cynthia that's how she is and it compliments her character. My dress was a tan looking short dress with a V-neck opening and two small frills on the side. Normal. Simple. Me.

I fixed my hair, put on small rounds like earrings, and my beige colored heels, and cleaned up. I knew I was the last one to get ready because I can hear the music blasting and feet moving and people talking. Lean against the wall and take a deep breath, calming myself down. There probably won't be too many people upstairs, but I can still feel myself getting all anxious. Tightening my fist one last time, I push off the wall and made my way up the stairs into the once empty, now crowded house. I looked at my watch; it was 7:45 pm.
