AFTER. (lxc version)

Chapter 6.

  🌑  

My hair is perfectly curled against my face. I put on a little dark red bow to match my maroon dress.

"Do you want to use some of my makeup?" Lucy asks and I look in the mirror again.

My eyes always look a little too large for my face but I prefer to wear minimal makeup, I usually just put on a little mascara and lip gloss. I am pretty proud of how well I take care of my skin so why hide it if I don't need to?

"Maybe a little eyeliner? I say, still unsure.

She gives me a smile and hands me three pencils. One purple, one black and one brown. I roll them around in my fingers, deciding between the black and brown.

"Perfect , it really will look great with your chocolate brown eyes," she says and i smiled and nodded.

I take the black pencil and draw the thinnest possible line around both eyes, earning a proud smile from Lucy. Her phone buzzes and she grabs her purse. "Dinah's here" she informs me, I grab my purse, smooth my dress and slip on my white toms. She eyes my flat shoes but doesn't comment.

Dinah is waiting out front of the building, i could hear beyonce's crazy in love blaring out of the rolled down windows. I can't help but glance around to see everyone staring. I keep my head down and just as I look up, I see Lauren lean up in the front seat. She must have been bending down. Ugh.

"Girls." Dinah greets us and Lauren shoots me a glare as I climb in behind Lucy, getting stuck sitting behind Lauren.

"You do know that we are going to a party not a church right Karla?" Lauren says with a smirk.

"Do not call me Karla please. I prefer Camila or whatever just dont call me Karla," I warn her, how does she even know my name is Karla? I hate being called Karla.

"Sure thing Karla," she says and I roll my eyes. I will not banter back and forth with her, she is not worth my time.

After what feels like ages we finally pull up to a huge two story house with overgrown vines sprawling up the side. THETA XI is painted in black letters on the massive house. It looks like something from a movie.

"It's so big, how many people will be here?" I gulp. The lawn is full of people holding red cups, I am way out my league here.

"A full house, hurry up," Lauren says and gets out of the car, slamming the car door behind her.

I watch as multiple people high five and shake Lauren's hand. No one else that I see is covered in tattoos like her, Dinah and Lucy. Maybe I can make some friends here tonight after all.

"Coming?" Lucy smiles and I nod as I climb out of the car, making sure to smooth my dress again.
