The Beauty Inside

Birthday Party (5)

Jennifer's POV

I came to this Sandra's birthday party at her house. This Is not the first time I came here. I've been going here everytime she invites me to at least accompany her. I stepped inside and saw few people drinking wine and champagne. It was so quiet. Everyone's eating, drinking, inside of this mansion as the classic music plays. They look descent and seemed to be like from a wealthy family. I then I felt a little bit uncomfortable since I was wearing a sleeveless satin dress. And I don't even know the people I'm seeing. I saw Sandra came down the stairs and when her eyes landed on me, and with a wide smile on her face. She ran to me,

"Oh my Gosh, you look so perfect Jen!!!" She said while giving me a hug. She then pulled away a bit and stare at me. I wrinkled my forehead

"Oh gosh, Where did you get this dress? It's Versace." She said shocked as she look at me

I then turned around and smiled so wide at her

"It's a gift from a friend." I said then she gave me a grin

"A friend?"

I laughed

"Yes. A Friend." I said

"Well, you're here now. Come on. I'll introduce you to my classmates in high school." She said and before I could speak something, she held my wrist and pulled me to this group of women who are sitting on the couch. They all look so gorgeous.

I just cleared my throat and just go with it.

"Hey girls. This is who I'm talking about. She's Jennifer. My close friend in the campus." Sandra introduced me to them. I smiled at them politely cause that's what my parents taught to us when we meet new people.

But instead of giving me a smile. They all look at me, to my eyes? Oh I know it. They all look at my tick eyebrow. Ugh, not again...

"Oh my Gosh, I can't believe, a jungle woman can wear a Versace dress.."

A woman said as she sip her wine and everybody laughed.

Why is everybody always notice my eyebrow?? It's beautiful! This is the only thing I got from my Mom.

I saw Sandra shoot her a look and they all stopped but still giggling. Crazy bitches...

"Well, I'm sorry Jennifer...I just.." The woman laughed again. She look so happy.

"Valentina!" Sandra said through her teeth as she gave her a sharp look and she stopped.

I felt my fingers grip the sling of my bag and heard Sandra whispered at her to say sorry to me. She rolled her eyes,

"Sorry." She said rolling her eyes as she stood up and went to the kitchen.

The group of women stood up and started dancing with the guys. We're just only me and Sandra

"Sorry about that Jen. It's just that..., they don't have no idea about your inner side. They all see your outside look but they don't know how beautiful you are in the inside."

I smiled though I felt a little bit hurtful pinch in my chest.

"It's okay." I said trying to chuckle

"You know how much I get that from our schoolmates, right?" I added and she burst into laugh and I couldn't help it but to burst into laugh too. Sandra usually sees me getting those from other people but she knows how strong I am to ignore those immature people.

"Well, I guess, we should probably sneak out." She said almost whispering

"What? Where are we going?" She said as I chuckles
