Limo after limo pulled up to the curb. Cameras flashed as people piled out, famous people that I couldn't place a name to, even if my life was depending on it.
All except for one..
Mackenzie Clark was all platinum blonde and designer shoes as she stepped out onto the sidewalk. She wore a satiney red baby doll dress that fell just under her butt and a white loose knit cardigan that hung lightly on her shoulders. Her sleek blonde hair was pulled back into a bob and she wore diamond stud earrings.
Sigh.
Moan.
Crawl into a hole and die.
Next to her, I would be the peasant standing beside the Greek godess, worshipping th Stan upon which She stood.
I wore a dress that must have been at least three years old, light blue and falling to my thighs. It was adorned with a belt at my waist and a white scarf slung over the insides of my elbows. Plain white flats, no jewellery, hair down, and no makeup.
True I hadn't talked to her in a while, and seen her even longer, but friends were still friends though, no matter if they were famous. Right?
Self esteem just took a major hit. Major with a capitol M.
Her eyes flit to mine. A smile breaks out on her face, and I am breathless. Holy moly. Was it even possible to have teeth that perfect? I smile back and begin making my way over to her.
Don't panic, don't panic, don't panic.
I was only 10 feet from her now.
Damn it, I'm panicking.
I stop before her, then wonder to myself if it would be too obvious if I knelt down before her...
"Emma!" She cried out, then pulled me into a hug. I hugged her back, careful not to mess up her hair or makeup, or something that I would probably ruin with a single touch.
"Hey Kenz." With probably much less enthusiasm than she had, I might add...
She took my hand and then pulled me towards the nightclub, Cafe De Paris. "Come on, girl, we have some serious catching up to do."
Great, the Makenzie Clark inquisition.
Just as we pass through the doors, after being checks into the party I throw a glance over my shoulder.
A boy with brown hair and green eyes was staring at me, and I, suddenly feeling self conscious, ducked inside.
What had I gotten myself into?
