   The day went by quickly, and soon after evening came. I was scared because I felt that someone like me was not meant to be in that kind of party. But I already promised Jessy that I would attend the party.

I rushed to take a cold shower before Jessy comes to get me.  Immediately I heard her voice, I rushed out from the bathroom with a towel tied to my chest.

She walked into my room with a bag.

"What is inside the bag" I asked curiously.

"you will know soon" she replied.

She brought out a short red gown which had a little bit of glitters on it.

"Wow, it's so pretty. Who is going to wear that?" I asked in amusement.

"you talk like you don't know that it is for you,  girl you have to look hot" she replied.

"what about my face? Even if I wear a beautiful dress, I remain ugly with this face. I already told you that I don't have to go to that party" I said.

"that's the more reason why you must come. You need to learn how to build your confidence. Although, I have you covered" she replied.

How?

"I didn't go to a make up class for nothing. I bet that you are going to be transformed right now. So just sit back and let me do my thing" she said.

"Ok"

She brought out a lot of things for the makeover. I hope that I won't look like a clown.

Now the makeup has began. One hour passed and we were not even close to being ready.

"God! My neck hurts" I mumbled.

She wiped the makeup so many times so that she could get It correctly. And my hideous face also needed a perfect transformation for me to look good.

It finally reached 4 hours, and then she rounded up. She applied a red lipstick to give a hot look.

   The makeup section is finally over, I slowly turned my chair to face the mirror.

What did I see?

I saw a different human being. She looked really pretty. I wished I looked like her but well, that was me. I was about to burst into tears when Jessy cuts in...

"I don't think crying is necessary because I won't redo your make up"

I quickly put my self together and went to wear my dress with a pair of Chelsea boot. The dress fitted me so well and it made my curves to become so visible.

"Are you ready" Jessy asked.

I nodded and we both reached for the door when Elsa walks in.

"where are you going to, dressed like a clown?

"It's non of your business" Jessy said as she grabbed my hand and led me out of the room.

"Nanny Meg, I will be home late" I screamed hoping that she heard me as I walked out of the door.

The driver drove slowly until we got to the party.  I feel goosebumps all over me.  I am finally here.

Jessy and I walked in and all of a sudden, there was a sudden silence.

"Who is that girl. She is hot" a guy asked Jessy.

"she is my best friend" she replied.

"Can I... " he said as Jessy cuts in

"No, not yet, she is a shy person" Jessy replied.

We both walked to the dance floor as I bumped into Kelvin, one of the schools bad boys. My drink stained him a bit.

"Oh no, am so sorry" I said while trying to wipe the stain off his shirt.

He raised his right hand. Oh my God, he is about to hit me. I waited patiently as his hand came closer to my face. But instead of getting annoyed he pulled my hair back and asked if I was alright.

"Ye... Yes, am really sorry"

"It's no big deal, so what's your name?" he asked.

"I am Linda"

"Alright then, would you like to dance?" he asked with a huge smile.

"I don't know how...

He didn't even let me finish, he grabbed my hand and took me over to the dance floor.  I have never felt so special, even Jessy was surprised.

He wrapped his hand around my waist as we danced to the slow beat.

I could hear words of jealousy from the crowd but I was having a moment so who cares about thier gossip?

   Not long after, the song was over.  He held my hands and led me to a conner.

"I only saw you today but it seems like I have seen you all my life.  Well,  am not good at giving these type of lines but I just want to say that you seem different from those other girls and I love that about you. So would you give me your number?" he said.

"Sure"

We exchanged contacts and had a lot to talk about until the party was over.

"So... Can I hug you" he asked.

We hugged for quite a while. Then he whispered to my ear

"do you have a boyfriend?"

"No"

He smiled and took my hair backwards as he stared at my eyes. He took his left hand down to my hip and his right hand still on my face.

He brought his face closer, with his eyes still staring at mine. He held me really tight and his body pressed into mine.

"Do you believe in love at first sight" he asked.

"Yes, but I have never expected anyone to love me"

"Why do you think so?" he asked.

"Because am hideous" I replied.

"I don't care about anything you are saying right now. I only like what I see at this moment. And I feel I should not let you go because I want those cute little lips. And just so you would know,  you look really beautiful. Don't mind what people say about you." he said.

He brought his face closer again and slowly....
