I arrived to my humble abode and walked straight to my front door. As I turned the door knob, i saw my overly-excited mother.
"You're going to prom! My baby's growing up so fast!", she squealed happily while giving my a hug that nearly squished my insides.
"Hello to you to mom, how was your day at work?", i laughed while taking off my shoes.
"Dreadful, I got a call today from my boss about "disorderly conduct" in the office.", she claimed, air quoting disorderly conduct.
"What did you do?", i asked with an eyebrow raised.
"I broke a girl's lead in her pencil because she touched my hair......", she stated while moving her foot around her body guiltily.
"You are the weirdest mom i think a girl could ever have.", I declared before i laughed my way upstairs to my room, where I saw a large dress bag laying across my bed. I huffed and dropped my bookbag down beside my door. I walked over to it and began unzipping it, but stopped when i got tackled to the floor.
"You are not allowed to see this dress until Emily and Felicia get here!", my mom shrieked, still laying on top of me.
"Jeez mom, it's prom, not my wedding day!", I assured her while attempting to push her off of me, but that only resulted in my arms getting tired and limp.
"They'll be here any second now! In the meantime, go shower and don't do anything else.", She demanded while walking out of my room.
"And to think that she'll be even crazier if I get married!", i mumbled as I walked to my bathroom. After I did my shower business, I heard laughter and cheering downstairs. I quickly dried off and walked into my room. Just as I had tightened my towel around myself, Emily and Felicia came barging in.
"Hey girly!", they gleamed happily.
"Hey guys, so what are we doing?", i asked stupidly.
"Well, first we are going to get you tanned because you will look like a ghost with the dress we got you, no offense, but you are pale.", Felicia stated.
"How tan? I do not want to look like an orange!", I declared.
"You won't, you're gonna be a little tanner than Emily.", She assured, making me nod in agreement.
"Slap on some clothes and come downstairs.", Emily demanded. I nodded and grabbed a hoodie and sweatpants. I walked downstairs and put on my converses i wore for school this morning and headed out the door.

We came back home from our tans, and may I say, we look great! We walked back inside the house and went straight to my bedroom.
"Ok, are you ready to see your dress?", Felica questioned.
"I guess so since you have already unzipped the bag.", I replyed while pointing at the already opened bag.
"1......2......3!", She shouted as she revealed a sequin beaded a-lined dress.

"For a girl who doesn't like dresses, you seem to be in love!", Emily stated, refering to my widened eyes and agaped mouth.
"It's beautiful!", I responded, mainly because that is the only thing I could say.
"Well, first, we are gonna do your hair and make up, then put on your dress.", Emily demanded.
"Aye aye captains.", i said, walking over to my dresser. I sat on my stool while they began to work their magic.
After what seemed like forever, they were finally finished. "Open your eyes.", they said in sync. I opened them and I looked completely different. It's almost like I had an unknown twin sister that was trapped in my body. My hair was in loose curls with some up and some down. The parts that were up were clipped back with tannish/peach clip with diamond rhinestones around its' rim. I had a light shade of white and brown on my eyelids, a thin layer of black eyeliner above, my eyelashes were curled and coated with waterproof mascara and my lips were glossing with naked lipstick.
"So......what do you think?", they asked, clearly hoping i said that i liked it. But i didn't like it. I loved it and they made me look.......beautiful.
"It's beautiful guys, I love it!", I said, astonished at the fact that none of this was sticky or hard on my face. I felt normal and naked almost.
"Time for the dress and shoes!", they cheered. We quickly slipped on my dress and shoes and they did their make up and all.
We had finally got done getting dressed and were getting ready to go to prom. Until, my mom of course, being that embaressing mom, had to take pictures. After what seemed like a decade, we rushed out before she could say anything else.
I never thought i would be saying that i was going to prom, i hope everything goes well.....
