A very loud voice is covering the whole place. And you better know who that person is by now. Ofcourse it's ...

"Do I have to knock?" Corina shouting outside.

"Ofcourse!" I shouted back.

"Whatever!" Then she rushed inside my room and jumped  beside me.

"Tomorrow is the day. The day that you will officially experience a social gathering." Then she easily threw her sets of bags to nowhere. Unaware where it went.

"Yeah, should I expect boredom there?"

"Hmm.. Maybe, but you'll meet people who are nice in a way they are easy to get along with."

"How come?"

"Well, because some of them are our loving relatives. Teenagers are a few and some in their 20's."

"That's good." Common answer I give with three nods.

"Wait, is your outfit ready?" She asked instantly.

"Yes."

"Where? Show me!" Demanding voice of her's. So I took the black jeans and a yellow printed sweater, a cat printed sweater. Cute right?

"Here" With a confident tone.

"You've gotta be kiddin' me. You're really going in a party wearing jeans and childish printed sweater? Come on Cecile! It's an elegant themed party and each invitees are ought to wear gowns and suits" Errupting Corina coming through.

"But, I don't even have any of that kind." Oh so innocent tone.

"Such a bad timing, all my dresses are sold for the orphanage I'm supporting." She said while scratching her head.

"Worry no mow!" Mother? Seriously? Doing her weird pose leaning on the door. Grinning at us. Yes, she's acting weird. I think she got that on the series she's addicted with.

"I have one here. My mother gave this to me when I was 18. As a gift on my début.

" She's carrying an old box having the remains of it's wrapper. Mother lend it to Corina.

"1978? I bet this is lovely."

"She opened the box slowly removing the adhesives that supports the cover and viola! A short sleeved, high-waisted classy ball dress showed up. Color? It's peach and everything's a pure plain.

"I love this dress Aunt, I could wear this! And another thing it's many years old now. I love classic items. But it turns out that this dress is for you Cecile." She lend it to me with a smile. "Well, let's see if it suits me."  I said then took it with me to the comfort room. This a first, I've never worn any of this but I guess I have to try. Slowly I removed what I'm wearing and took the dress. I felt uncomfortable with this because it's too lightweight and the fabric is rough. I did not bother to see myself in the mirror because I already know what's next.

"Look at you, it matches you well!" Corina said as soon as I got out.

"You look good in it sweetie." Mother with a very glad expression on her face. See? I knew it. That's what people react whenever they see you doing or wearing something new.

"Do I?" I sighed.

"Ofcourse, but something's missing. The dress is so plain, we need to re-decorate it." Corina's good in fashion. She makes signature dresses that are bought by her co-bloggers in a very large amount of money. She has a big heart so all of the money she get from it goes to the orphanage she's helping.
