"Do I have to go with this guy?" she whined for the nth time, as the girl in front of her continued to apply the last coat of her lip gloss.
"Yes Ann, it's a ball, you need someone to escort you", the girl responded, "It's just the way it is".
Ann rolled her eyes at her best friend's words.
"Well, you were gonna go with you know who, but obviously that's gotta change now", the other girl shrugged, "And lucky for you, I was still able to find someone for you to go with".
The girls took their precious time observing themselves in the large body mirror in front of them, before they could give each other the satisfaction needed.
"Dana, you can say his name you know, it's not like he's fucking Voldemort", Ann told her.
Before Dana could reply, she was soon interrupted by a knock on the door, leaving her mouth ajar.
"Oh, that's him", she squeezed Ann's forearms, as she hurried out to the front door.
"On second thought, I don't think I wanna go anymore", Ann chuckled nervously, only for her words to be ignored, as Dana opened the door to a brown-eyed, dark hair boy, standing upright in his tux.
Ann took a deep breath before walking towards the two standing by the door, as if waiting for her on cue.
"Ann, this is Cameron", Dana gestured, "Cameron, this is Ann".
The two exchanged looks. The boy gave the girl a sincere smile, before pulling her in for a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Hey what up".
He kept his eyes on her.
Ann smiled back, followed by the dreaded sound of silence between the three.
"Well, this is gonna be an eventful night", Dana muttered beneath her breath.
