Thirty Seven : Prom Day

"Many of these girls treat their prom like they would treat their weddings"

Odette's P.O.V

"Odette, hurry up, try on the dress !" My sister has been screaming at me since this morning, because apparently she is more excited than I am for this prom, it's kind of weird how the whole things work, but for some reason I am not that excited about this.

Maybe because he is not here and I have to go to prom alone without a date. I mean I would rather go alone than to go with Tobias because there is no way I am going with him.

My mother bought me a simple navy blue dress wit flowy ends and a matching necklace with it. I don't know why but I feel like wearing a dress like that is so not my style, but since it's prom, I guess I can make an exception.

I put on the dress and the necklace and go to look at myself in the mirror. I guess I look really nice. My mother helps me arrange my hair because she wants to make sure that I look a little extra on the special day, my hair is curled and then styled in a princess braid, then she helps me with my makeup, she puts on some light brown Eyeshadow all over my lids and some dark brown on my outer V and on my crease, I just apply a thin layer of eyeliner and some mascara then I Contour my own face and put on some Highlighter, and a nude peach lipstick to top things off,

By the time I am done getting ready, my sister gasps and she shakes her head which makes me feel confused.

"Who knows that Odette can actually look like a swan ???" She says teasingly,

"Yeah, I don't think it fits me as well" i say to her and my mom nudges the side of my hand.

"You look pretty, don't be insecure, my daughters are all gorgeous, you know"

I smile hearing those words from her, I really need encouragement on a time like this.

They say prom is supposed to be a really special day, that once in a lifetime experience that will never be repeated, or a day where you can be yourself and the day before stepping into the real world.

So why am I not excited about this at all ? But I certainly try to brace myself for this, and for the rest of my friends and my family as well.

Wow, I really sound like I am about to do a job interview or something. Wish I can just stop complaining.

The prom is held before graduating like how most school in the US does, and for the prom party itself is going to be held in a fancy hotel near here, and I have made a plan with Amy and the rest of my friends (yes, I managed to have friends) and all of us are going to go in a rented limousine.

After I am done, I get down to the living room to see my parents sitting there and looking all proud of me. My father who is usually quiet even compliments me on this, and I can't ask for more appreciation that what they already have.

"So, is my girl ready for prom ?" My mother asks me and I nod my head.

For some reason, I have to lift my own spirit and blends in with the excitement, after all, I am only going to do this once in my life.
