Wall of secrets

Chapter 12

Sierra's POV
We arrived at the shops, Viola was non stop shaking my arm whenever she would see a shop with a sale.

I tried to smile, just so I don't ruin her happy moment.

"Let's head to that dress store!" Viola squealed as she pointed to the shop.

We looked through a few dresses, well at least I only looked at a few. Viola was going through every dress.
I looked at the cost of a red long dress, it was just a plain dress. It was $320, my eyes widened.

"The prices are really high, we should go to a different store," I say to Viola.
"These are designer dresses, what do you expect?"

The store happened to have some masks, so I went to that section while Viola grabbed some dresses to try on.

A mask caught my eye immediately.

It was silver, filled with small crystals that out shined every other mask.

I had to get it.

"Excuse me, how much is this mask?" I asked the store keeper.

"$70.95 dear"
"Oh um, thankyou," I have her a kind smile and went back to staring at the mask.

"Ah darling, I see you like shiny things, try it on dear," she said picking it up and handing it to me.

I put it on and looked at the mirror, it looked so pretty I felt this sudden urge to buy it.

"It looks gorgeous on you, it's like it was made for you! How about I find you a couple of dresses to match the mask? I'll give you time to think about this. I can maybe find you q better price for it," she smiled and went of."

I admired myself in it for a couple of minutes then took it off.
I was glad to know that maybe I can get a better price.

A few minutes later the lady came back with a handful of dresses. Many of them had silver, white and red colours.

"This one is sure to match the mask," she said unfolding the dress.

It was a strapless dress, filled with silver crystals at the top, there was a section of the dress that was filled with black lace.

"Try it on dear, with the mask," she smiled.

And so I did.

The dress fit perfectly, so did the mask.
I came out of the dressing room, Viola and the kind lady were standing and their faces lightened up.

"Ah, this dress and make was surely made for you!" The lady said with a bright smile.

"Oh my goodness! Sierra! You look beautiful, I bet if you wore red heels it would definitely complete this look!"

I loved the dress and mask so badly... I just couldn't afford it.

The dress was $450. No way was I spending that much.

"I understand that you would be spending a lot of money, so how about this; you can wear the dress, you can hide the tag, and bring it back to me when you are done from your event. But only if you buy the mask for its full price, and there can't be any damages of the dress or you will have to pay for it sadly."

That was a pretty good deal

"I'll text my mum, just to see if that's alright," I smiled and took my phone out.

Me: hello to my fave person in the world :)

Mum: I have a feeling you are about to request something...

Me: um... I need $70.95... Look this lady gave me a really good deal for a dress and mask.

Mum: $70.95 for the dress?

Me: uhm... For the mask :(

Mum: as long as you find a way to pay it back. Use the credit card I have you. Just this once.

I wanted to squeal with excitement.

"Okay, she said yes!" I said to the store keeper.

"I'll wrap the dress and mask for you," she said with a smile and walked off.

"So... Did you find anything?" I asked Viola.

"Heck yeah!" She said as she showed me a gorgeous black dress, all laced up from the bottom, and the top it was plain, but it looked so nice.
"Also for the mask," she held a white lace mask, with a few crystals.

"It's so beautiful! We are going to look so great in these!" I exclaimed.

"Definitely! And tomorrow we need to get our hair done.
