It's Tuesday and I am at Ellie's house. I have only an hour to go before the party and I still have a whimsical mind on what to wear. Yes it does sound stupid, but come on I still need to look my best! Luckily, my parents were not at home to rebuke me; I am a slave for my parents always having to go to people's home doing daily chores for the families income eventhough they both earn quite alot. My mum works at a bank in the accounting business whilst my dad is the owner of a famous casino. I happened to be an "accident" and when my mum found out that she was pregnant, it was too late for abortion hence giving birth to me. My adorable grandma took great care of me until I was 12 when she passed away and ever since I am being ill-mannered by the two worst parents of my life!
"Oh, Cara. Put the dress ON." She chirped, being her bubbly self.
Sighing, I carefully unhooked it from the hangar and slipped it over my head. It was snug, falling mid-thigh. I felt half naked. The way the silky folds of fabric wrapped around the front and were tucked under my arm reminded me of how how my grandma used to wrap me in a towel after a shower.
This dress would have looked perfect on Ellie, but it made me feel uncomfortable. If I moved too quickly would I suffer a wardrobe malfunction? It fit snug around the waist which accented my hips, I only hoped that was enough to hold it up.
"Let me see!" she squealed. I could feel her impatience as her foot tapped the floor just outside the toilet. Swallowing my nerves I reminded myself she was just my friend, not a monster. I opened the door so she could see.
Her jaw fell, I turned pale, her eyes widened as she raked over my body with feverish intensity.
"That is perfect!"
I sighed and shifted uncomfortably, digging my bare toes into the carpet.
"Don't tell me it doesn't fit you really well, it really sets off your figure. Your legs look fabulous, even better when you wear a matching pair of heels...and the way the fabric crosses in the front will look so good with your hair done up.
I rolled my eyes.
"No, it is," she barked at me as she grabbed my elbow to pull me out of the room, shoving me in front of a large mirror.
I looked at myself, it was ok. Not my style, not me, but it didn't look ugly like I was afraid it would.
"I look like a barbie doll."
She grin widely at me, eyes glittering with delight, "Yes, yes you do, now all there is left to do is redo your makeup...uh...do you wanna wash your makeup first to start a fresh?" She hinted, looking dismal.
There was no way I was letting anyone see my bruises and marks even if it happened to be Ellie.
"Uh..I will do it myself in the toilet" I gibed as I walked over to her dressing table and grabbed the makeup kit and headed straight for the door.
The word suspicion spread across her beautiful face and she inclined to nod. She didn't ask any questions regarding the matter even if I hesited to answer at first. That is what I like about Ellie, she can be sweet and bubbly and has a great sense of humour. Ellie was the first friend I made, quite suprisingly, we sat right next to each other when the school was announcing forms and we luckily happened to be together and from then onwards we have been close friends.
Hurriedly, I appallingly put my makeup on and swiftly made it across Ellie's room to the dressing room where I noticed her fully dressed up in a elegant red, strapless dress and her hair was refined into a sophisticated bun with a few strands of her near her ear.
"WOAH, El you look amazing!" I quipped as I carry on examining her from head to toe.
"Thanks!!!" She chirped as she blushed, playing with the ends of her dress.
I loosely curled my hair and left them out, thinking that I looked quiet decent. Amy was gonna be our lift to the party as none of us two knew how to drive. We patiently waited for Ellie's presence as I akwardly sat on the sofa, scrolling down the contacts lists. Then we heard a beep and we both exchanged glaring looks with one and another. We knew who it was...
