After my not so good first day at work, spending lunch watching my best friend flirt with all of the males in the department and having an awkeard encounter with the head of the marketing, I was for once looking forward to going out. Ususally my ideal night would be staying at home with a book or the TV where as Elle's idea of a night out would be getting dressed in the shortest, tightes outfit and hitting the club. That was another big difference between us.
Another thing that definitely separated us was our morals. Elle, in the nicest way possible would do anything to speed up getting to the top, she's very head strong and will always say what is on her mind; where as I prefer to get to the top by keeping my head down and workin hard. I'm not saying she doesn't work hard but lets just say her priorities lie elsewhere.
"Come on Athena just pick a dress!" She bluntly stated as she applied more make up.
Since I hardly had any suitable dresses for 'drinks' Elle made me get ready at her house. Telling me 'I'd already made a bad impression and she was not going to let me go out in last seasons fashion or in something 'frumpy''.
I didn't totally understand why I couldn't wear jeans and a top, I mean I didn't have anyone to impress sexually and besides it was only people from work.
Elle had always loved dressing up and looking good ever since school. I don't remember a day when she didn't come in without a face full of makeup and her modified school uniform; it consisted of a tight black skirt which only just covered her bum, a white shirt which also was tight fitting and had the top 3 buttons undone. However, she did insist on wearing black vans to school which was probably the only item she wore that was actually at school. Don't get me wrong, she is my best friend and I love her to bits but imagine the 'Little Miss Popular' of your school, including the rich daddy and latest technology and you have Elle.
She stood there looking quite frustrated. She was already dressed in a graffiti printed body con dress which hugged her gorgeous figure and highlighted her long legs. Elle had always been about 3 inches taller than me. Her legs elongated by suede blue lace up wedges. Elle's hair colour had changed over the year but currently it was dark brown ombre into blonde and caramel colour; it was slightly wavy and she had styled it messily. Famously Elle always flicked her eyeliner and always wore brightly coloured lipstick.
"Right, that's it, I'm picking something out for you." She smiled walking towards her wardrobe and angrily flicking through dresses.
Elle commanded me to sit on her bed as she decided what I was going to wear. Although we are the same clothing size, I am shorter ehich meant anything she picked was going to be slightly longer on me, therefore made in clear she was going to pick one of her shortest dresses.
"Here you go." Elle said passing me a black and lace dress. "Go and get changed", she added.

"See, you look good!" Elle assured as she stood behind me in front of the mirror.
For the first time in ages, I looked sexy. The dress came just above my knees and was all black apart from the sleeves that were mesh and lace. It had a cut out just above my boobs which she tells me is for 'maximum' cleavage showing. She had straightened my black hair and I had applied makeup and one of her brightly coloured lipstick.
"Right, we better go, Lucas just text me to say he is outside." She stated as she gave her hair one final proof, rubbed her lips together and sprayed some perfume over her clothes.
I had forgotten how hard it was to walk down stairs and on gravel in heels. Mine were a pair of her Christian Louboutins in jet black. The two guys from the office greeted us outside their car.
The first, Luke (I believe), was wearing black skinny jeans and a plaid shirt with a few of the buttons undone and the head of the marketing Michael wore a white vest whit a band name I'd never heard of and denim jeans. Definitely not how I expected the head of Marketing to dress but then again I would never have expected someone so high up in the company to have green hair.
"You're right you do look good Elle" Luke joked as she kissed both of his cheeks and got into the car sliding across into the middle seat.
I got into the car next as Luke closed the door and made his way around to the other side of the black range rover driven by Ashton who I had met in the office. Michael got into the front and immediately put on the radio.
Already I could tell that Luke and Elle were becoming more and more familiar with each other, whispering things into each others ears and touching each other excessively. Elle was so not going home with me tonight.
I couldn't be more surprised when we arrived at a two story white and huge house. If I was a little nervous before we really came to this party, then I was overwhelming with this lots of people. Music could be heard like one mile away and it was real that some people were already drunk too.
"Well, Athena... Are you going to stare at the house for the rest of the night?" Elle jokingly said. "The party doesn't wait for anybody!"
I just rolled my eyes at the real mood of this person: we just arrived and Elle was so excited because of this party. Of course I want to hang out a little, but I don't want to just step out of my limits and drunk until I pass out. I was always responsible, I couldn't let that slip out of my fingers just in a moment.
"You can stay with me, if you want..." Michael suggested. "I'm not in mood to get drunk tonight..." He chuckled. "Also, I'm very surprised that Calum actually let Kim to have this party at his own house, since he is not here."
"Well... maybe Kim didn't tell him anything about it." I stated. "But who's Calum?"
