2.1 bad excuse—REWRITTEN—
I make my way to the Simon Stagg event. I was wearing a red dress with a slit cut towards my right leg. If you looked carefully, through the slit on my leg, you could see two thigh straps, holding multiple knives.
Mr. Stagg gives an amazing speech and then I go make my way to Barry and Iris. I grab a glass of champagne and I also see Iris picking up two glasses herself. "Are journalists allowed to drink on the job?" I ask from behind. They both turn around and smile.
"You made it!" Iris exclaims as I walk closer to them.
"Yup," I smiled giving a vague explanation. I notice Barry staring at me.
"What?" I ask, my hand immediately going to fix my hair and face. "Do I have something on my face?"
"No-no, you just- you look-really nice," He says scratching the back of his neck.
"Oh. Thanks. You don't look too bad yourself," I say with a smile.
"Yeah you look amazing, and your necklace, is it real?" Iris asks going up to touch it.
"Uh-yeah. W- What else would it be?" I ask. They both give me a look like I'm crazy.
"Oh!" Iris laughs. Me and Barry turn over to her in confusion.
"What?" Me and Barry ask.
"I just realized that Barry's tie goes with your dress!" She exclaims. "It's so cute!" I roll my eyes. Trust Cisco and Iris to make a big deal out of nothing.
I give a chuckle, "What a coincidence."
Iris turns to Barry as Mr.Stagg comes up to me, "Nice to see you dear."
"You too Mr.Stagg," I reply, shaking his hand,
"How is Harrison? I heard he's locked himself up in S.T.A.R. Labs ever since the explosion," He says.
"Well. You know Dad. He has a tendency to make a big deal about everything or to blame very thing on himself," I say and he nods.
"Well I should go," He says and I wave goodbye.
I know very well about how Dad and Mr.Stagg hate each other. It's been going on for a while. I don't even know why he's so nice to me. I can tell it's because he wants to find a way into S.T.A.R. Labs but I wouldn't let him do that. I bet he already got what he wanted now that S.T.A.R. Labs is destroyed. I had no idea why he was keeping this charade but I didn't mind playing along.
