“Mia!” Sophie squeals as she runs through my front door.
It was Saturday and we had the 18th birthday party tonight. We had decided to get ready together and Luke and Harry will pick us up from here. Sophie and I always get ready together for parties it’s like a tradition. Not that we have many parties to go to though. I was super excited as it was like my first date with Harry.
Harry and Luke were picking us up at 7pm and it was only 4pm. Sophie and I were going to get ready at 5.30pm so we had an hour and a half to spare. I cooked us up a quick spag bowl for an early dinner and we lounged on the couch. We ate while watching Dance Mums and talked a little in-between. Nerves started to build up inside me as the time went by.
“So, are you going to drink tonight” Sophie questions.
“Aahh, maybe. Mum would kill me if she found out though” I laugh.
Mum wouldn’t be that mad if I had a few drinks but since I’m not 18 yet she’s still pretty fussy about what I drink.
“What about you?” I ask
“Yeah same with me” She laughs back.
“Do you reckon Harry or Luke will drink?” I ask Sophie.
“Well Luke’s not old enough, but I’m sure he will. Harry might as well since he’s 19” She answers.
It was 5pm so we still had half an hour to kill. Sophie continued watching toddlers and tiaras for the rest of the time and I decided to take a quick shower and blow dry my hair. Sophie’s alarm went off at 5.30pm signalling for us to start to get ready.
“Time to get ready!” She squeals as she takes my hand and drags me up the stairs.
We put two mirrors against the wall and scatter our makeup on the floor. We both sit down and start with our makeup. I apply a layer of liquid foundation then another layer of powdered foundation. I put a little bit of bronzer on my cheek bones and decide not to add any blush. I decide tonight to wear some liquid eyeliner then apply a few layers of mascara.
“Done!” I squeak as I put my mascara back in my makeup bag.
I look over to Sophie and she is just adding the final touches to her eye lashes.
“Done!” She repeats while placing her mascara back in her makeup bag.
“Hair time!” she squeals as she skips to the bathroom.
I slowly follow behind. I decide to straighten my hair tonight and Sophie decides to curl hers.
We’re done by 6.30pm so we make our way back to my bedroom to get dressed. I have never seen Sophie so excited for a party. I’m pretty excited as well, but more nervous.
I put on my tight, short red dress and my sparkly silver heals.
“Help me zip this up” Sophie calls while holding her sparkly yellow dress to her body.
I quickly run over to wear she’s standing and help her zip up her dress. She puts on her nude coloured heals and we stand back to look at each other.
“YOU LOOK SO HOT” we squeal in sync and laugh.
We both wore low cut dresses that sat just above our knees. We have never wore anything like this before so it was kind of exciting. We took our clutches and chucked our phone, lip gloss and keys in them. We ran down stairs to wait for the boys.
A knock on the door interrupted Sophie and I’s conversation. We both looked at each other nervously and laughed.
“Go answer the door!” Sophie laughed as she pushed me off the couch.
