Escape from life

Chapter 7:Daisy's Party

Tonight was the night of Daisy's birthday party and almost the whole town was talking about it.

Karen was running around her room checking the mirror and fixing her makeup. She had a ton of eyeliner to her eyebrows and way too much blush on her cheeks. She was straightening her nappy hair when Rita walked in.

Rita took one long look at her and said "Mom, why do you look like you got picked up off the street? Plus where did you get that weird dress?"

Karen glared at her and said "Shut your buck teeth up! You're just jealous that you don't look like this! And none of your business!!"

Rita said "I'm glad i don't look like that."

Karen rolled her eyes and said "Whatever. Ugh look at you. You look like a fish. And why aren't you dressed?? The party starts in 1 hour!"

Rita said "I wanted you to fix my hair." Karen looked at her and said "I can't fix that hot mess. You are going to look ugly either way. Go put on your dress and shoes and I might fix your hair."

Rita ran to her room and walked into her closet. She grabbed her dress off of a wooden hanger and ran her hands along it. She slipped it on and put on some glittery flats.

She turned around and saw her doll Emily sitting on her bed. She didn't remember putting her there.

Rita walked towards Emily and picked her up. "Hey Emily, I'm about to go to a party!!! I mean I wish you could come but people would think I am crazy, but don't worry, when I get home I'll brush your hair and stuff."

Emily stared at her with a blank stare. Rita sighed. "It would even better if you talked. That would be cool. Then we could be best friends and talk about everything." She set Emily back down with care and got out of her room.

When she walked out, Karen was coming out of her room. She shrieked. "You need an extreme Makeover!!!! Let me fix you!!" She yanked Rita into her room and sat her in a soft chair in front of her makeup counter in the bathroom.

After a while of Karen swiping a ton of stuff on Rita's face, she fixed Rita's eyebrows and curled Rita's hair lightly so it would be wavy. She sprayed her with some really pretty smelling perfume and stepped back to look at Rita. She gasped.

"Rita... I can't believe I'm saying this, but you look gorgeous. The only thing i can't fix is your buck teeth but other than that, I am actually proud to call you my daughter. Take a look."

She spun the chair Rita was sitting in and Rita gasped. She couldn't believe it. She was actually pretty. She was prettier than Briana, and she cakes makeup on her face every day.

Before she could say anything, Karen grabbed Rita's arm and they went down the stairs together. William was in the living room and saw them both. He smiled when he saw Rita but then changed his face as soon as he saw Brenda.

He picked up Rita and said "Look at you kiddo!!! You look beautiful!!! Like a princess." He kissed Rita's cheek and turned to Karen.

"Honey, where are you guys going?" Karen stuttered and said "Umm... We are going out to Dinner."

William looked at her up and down and said "You are going to dinner like THAT?? You look like Ursula from The Little Mermaid."

Karen checked her watch. "Sorry William, the par-I mean dinner reservation... Is about to start." William nodded. "I understand. Well bye guys. Love you!"

He kissed Rita's cheek again and didn't say anything to Brenda. They got in the car and drove off.

********

When they got to a huge gate in front of an enormous mansion, Karen scoffed. "Oh please, our house is huger than this. On your next birthday, we can throw you a better party than this." She looked around and saw an intercom button and she clicked on it. A voice came on. "Who is it?"

Karen rolled her eyes. "We are here for the party." The voice came on again and said "Put your invitation in front of the scanner just to make sure."

She searched around. "Where is the invitation??" Rita shrugged. "I didn't think we would need it." Karen spoke into the intercom. "Umm we forgot it at home. Can we come in anyways??"

"Sorry." the voice replied. "We cannot let you in. Have a good night." It clicked off.

Karen shrieked. " Oh no WE ARE GETTING INTO THIS PARTY!!!" She reversed the car and rams into the gate. It wouldn't open.

She grabbed a crowbar from the back seat. And got out of the car. "Mom where did you get the crowbar from??" asked Rita. Karen looked at her. "ebay."

She walked over to the electrical lock on the gate and smashed it over and over until it broke off. The gate creaked open.

She got back into the car and drove in.
