" Ow! You burnt my ear," I laugh at Nicole's face when I cringe.

She looks so guilty. "I'm so sorry,"

Nicole is doing my hair in a cute little up-style. The top part of my hair is twisted in a bun with tendrils of curls hair falling down and the bottom half of my hair is curled to fall down my back. Nicole pulls out little pieces of hair around my face and curls them to frame my face.

I offered to do her hair but she denied and said she was just going to curl it. I painted my nails red and my makeup is a gold smokey eye. I have to give it to Nicole. She really has a talent when it comes to beauty.

Chris texted me saying that Jakob is going to come over to his house and they'd come over to mine and we'd all go together. When Nicole finishes on my hair, I'm really pleased with how my overall look turns out.

Nicole sits down to start her hair. "I'm going to go put my dress and shoes on," I say.

She nods in response as I walk out of the room. The dress is lay out on my bed. I step as carefully as I can into the dress. I drag the zip up the side until it's secure. I sit carefully on the bed and slip the shoes on, buckling them up.

Glancing in the mirror, I smile. I really hope Chris thinks I look good.

I walk back out into the bathroom where I do a little twirl for Nicole. She grins and nods like a proud mother.

"Looking good Hot Stuff."

I give her a little bow. Time to go find my proud mother and show her. I bound down the stairs and into the living room where my Mum is watching TV.

She looks at me and gasps. "Allie! You look so beautiful honey!"

I grin and do a little twirl, my dress slightly lifting from the floor, flaring around me. I'm beyond happy with this dress I bought and it was so cheap which was a score.

"Can I get some photos of you now? Then we can take some with Nic and then the boys when they get here," She squeals. "Let me get my camera,"

I roll my eyes with a laugh. That woman is going to make a whole scrapbook of just this one night. When she comes back, she makes me do all these weird poses. One with my hand on my hip, another with both hands, my hands behind my back and so on.

Nicole soon comes down the stairs, fully dressed, her hair falling in loose curls down her back. She's pinned a small piece from the front of her hair around to the back to give it a more casual look. Her makeup is surprisingly light. All attention will be focused on the killer heels she's wearing.

We again take photos, with just us two girls, then I step out for Mum to get some pictures of just Nicole for her Mum. I check my watch excitedly, waiting for the boys. Jakob texted me saying they would be here in the next couple of minutes.

Nicole and I are sitting on the couch, watching Michael play with some building blocks. The small pieces of plastic, pressed together from the grooves form a sloppy building constructed by a five-year-old.

A tap sounds on the door, and I jump up from the couch. I run to beat my Mum to the door but fall on my dress. That's how Chris and Jakob walk in to find me.

Jakob bursts out laughing and rushes forward to help me. He hooks his hands under my arms and hoists me off the ground. I try to stop the blush from tainting my cheeks but I'm sure even under the makeup I'm as bright as a tomato.
