You sprawled across your bed, enjoying the feel of your cool pillows and sheets. You didn't want to do anything today. You didn't have to worry about doing any paperwork. You also finished making your lesson plans. You don't need to worry about anything at all...
... except for maybe one thing...
A dress.
You reread the invitation that Feliciana gave to you.
"You are invited to Feliciana and Lovino Vargas's 25th birthday at Vargas Hotel and Resort, 8:00 PM. Wear ball attire and bring your invitation. Thank you and we hope that you'll be there." Below are Feliciana and her brother's signature.
You sighed. You don't have the proper dress to wear or any formal attire. You checked your watch. It's still early and you know you have plenty of time left so you decided to go shopping.
~~~
You came back home empty-handed. All the dresses were either too long, too short or too expensive. Though a part of you was glad that you didn't buy any of those since none of your shoes will match them. You checked the time: 5:00 PM. You groaned. Now, what!?
You looked at your shoe rack and saw a pair of white flats... which reminds you...
You jumped off the bed and rushed to your closet. You rummaged through your clothes and finally found a box under all of your piled clothes. You pulled it out and placed it on your bed.
Silently, you prayed to dear Lord that this was the one. You opened and almost threw the cover. A heavy sigh of relief escaped your lips. You found it. Carefully, you pulled it out, as if it was the most delicate thing in the whole world.
It was a white strapless dress with a fitted upper and a flowing skirt. You didn't know where you got this but you do remember that you wore this at a party. Either way, you needed this right now and you don't have much time to prepare.
You took another shower, dried up, and wore your dress. The dress fits you perfectly, embracing your curves and perking up your breasts. You blushed at how it exposed your cleavage and looked to find perhaps a shawl. Sadly, you didn't find one. After that, you put makeup, styled your hair, etc. Etc.
After a while, you finished and got a matching sling bag where you placed your phone and invitation card. You rushed towards the door but first...
You paused in front of a mirror. You double checked if your lipstick was smudged on your face or teeth, or if your hair was messy. Satisfied, you sent outside and called for a cab.
~~~
The hotel was located in a secluded area near the sea.
Before you knew it, you were in front of the hotel. The cab was long gone. There were a lot of people. That means a LOT. And they all seem to be rich with expensive-looking gowns and tuxedos. You suddenly felt the urge to walk away, thinking that you don't belong here.
But no.
You're here for your best friend and you are not going to bail on her birthday. So you mustered your courage and finally started heading towards the third floor where the reception area was. You were about to step inside when a burly man held out a huge hand, stopping you.
"Invitation card?" He said.
You can hear a few giggles from behind. You turned and grimaced. They were a group of girls wearing attires that seemed to be like what you would wear in a prostitute ball. They wore dresses that show... what's inside. The security guard let them in without asking for cards.
You bit your cheek and got your invitation card out, showing it to the guard. He took it quite harshly and read.
His eyes widened.
