Chapter 4

Chapter 4-

Tonight is the night. We got directions to the grand ball at the Plaza Hotel, mom wanted to rent us a limo when we told her but we declined saying that they pick us up.

I saw that on the invite but I say nothing so mom doesn't get so invasive. Maybe Viola should take her keys or we should have a taxi on standby.

She saw the pictures of our dresses, saying that it's cute but we should have bedazzled it. She can never be satisfied.

Viola drove us to her place to get ready after we got our shoes, purses, nails and hair done.

She decided to with a tight bun and tendrils hanging by the side of her face completed with french tips and the cute green heels.

I kept it simple waves cascading close to my shoulders, red nails and purple low heels. We went to Party City yesterday to by our masks, hers decorative with fake diamonds and feathers and mine black and white.

Before I put on my dress I got a little nervous about tonight. My heart starts to race and palms begin to sweat.

I sat on the toilet to calm myself down, I've been anticipating for this night all week I couldn't concentrate on my work at the bakery.

I mispelled 'Anthony' on one of the cakes, putting 'Matrimony'. My breaths becoming short as I start to have a panic attack in my bra and underwear.

Now I realized this is all an arranged marriage type thing. How can I make this guy fall for me so quick? Will he love me enough to like how I clip my nails while watching tv?

Or how I eat jello and ketchup with my french fries? This guy is a freaking Prince, of course he has high standards! He would never go for someone like me.

Sean tolerated it but no way that he could. Anything could happen. A knock interupts my thoughts and the door opens revealing Viola in her dress and pink lipstick.

"Yoohoo!" Her smile wilts down when she sees me underdressed. "Why aren't you glamorous right now. The limo is coming in ten minutes!" She comes in and starts to do my make up but I already did that so
I move my face from her. Wow the limo thing is true.

"I can't go." I tell her quickly.

"What?!" her voice angry as she glares at me. I shake my head fast

"I forgot I have to cat sit for my neighbor," I lie terribly. My sister gives me a bored look.

"Your neighbor doesn't have a cat."

"Then I'll buy her one and watch it. The point is I'm not going." I start to walk past her but she grabs my arm and pins me on the wall.

"Do not give me this second guessing crap! You are going even if I have to drag you there. I dropped words of wisdom last week to convince you, that is not going to waste. This is your night of true love and all that hoopla. Now get on your dress and stop acting like a baby." Her teeth grits as she spoke the last words.

I push her off me and walk to her room where my dress is lying on the bed "He's not gonna like me," I tell her.

"Put on your dress Katie. Enough of the negativity. Get over Sean and have fun. If your even miserable fine but just go and meet new people. Please, for me? Or for mom and dad?"

I know Viola is just looking out for me but there's this feeling in my gut that something big will happen, I don't know if it's good or bad.

I roll my eyes and grab my garment, slipping it on easily avoiding smudging my makeup. I turn to her with a tight smile on my face, she smiles back widely to me and heads to her closet.

She comes back to give me her diamond earrings to wear. I put them on along with my shoes and grabbing the purple purse that matches my dress.

She wears a pair of pink diamond earrings and a silver heart necklace. She tells me that we should head out because the limo will be outside soon.

I take in a big deep breath and follow her lead. Anything can happen, praying that it's good.

The ball is the next chapter!
