Mayla sighed, sitting in a chair as Aphria and her sister fussed over her.
It's 2 hours until the party and everything was ready...
...apart from the three girls.
Aphria is full on panicking, exclaiming they'll never have time to dress Mayla up, which Mayla reassures her that it will be fine and she has no need to worry.
Mayla touched her very voluminous hair which was done earlier.
The hair is all puffy and down,which Mayla isn't that fond of.
She hates her hair down.
But it's for her party so it's okay...she thinks.

"Do you want anything to eat before we do makeup?" Aphria's sister, Jace, asked.
Mayla shook her head.
"I will be fine" Mayla replied.
Mayla noticed her friend, trying to sneak past Mayla quickly.
Mayla rolled her eyes and closed them as Jace was at her eye level, a strand of her platinum blonde hair, the ends tinted blue, falling over her face.
Aphria really doesn't want Mayla to see her costume until the party, which annoys Mayla.
Mayla knows her friend is very talented in designing clothes, being accepted into university in Paris for fashion and design which was a dream come true for her.
Mayla admits she's going to miss her friend but she will be having the best time.
"Mayla, do you have a straightening iron?" Aphria asked, wondering around Mayla's room.
"In the bathroom like it normally is" Mayla replied.
"Found it!" Aphria exclaimed.
Mayla fought the urge to roll her eyes.
Her friend can be very forgetful.
Mayla felt her eyeball getting stabbed.
Jace must be doing her eye-shadow now.
"I like your outfit Speedy" Mayla heard her friend tease from the other room.
Mayla is only wearing a long loose teal thin top, black bike shorts and fluffy bunny socks.
"Oh shut up Aph" Mayla replied.
Mayla sighed, making Jace groan.
"Mayla,please,stop" Jace said "And Aph, stop talking to her!"
"I'm allowed to do what I want...bitch" Aphria muttered to herself in the other room, which Jace just heard and knew it was about her.
"Aphria, you can talk to her after, not now" Jace said sternly.
"How long is this going to take?" Mayla asked.
"Stop moving and it's only been 3 minutes" Jace replied, sounding annoyed.
"She won't stay still, she hates make-up on her- JACE! It's meant to be messy, not nice...she's Jason fucking Voorhees, not some vampire princess!" Mayla heard Aphria snap.
"She needs to look nice for her birthday!" Jace argued.
"But it's a Halloween party!" Aphria exclaimed "And she's also a murder so please for the love of whatever you pray for make it messy!"

Jace sighed.
"Okay, fine" Jace commented "Now Mayla, I would never say this to someone but...I've done majority of your make-up but you can smudge it"
Mayla opened her eyes and noticed her friend's sister smiling at her sadly.
"It looks so pretty as well" Jace whispered, handing Mayla a hand-held mirror.
Maya lifted up the mirror to gasp.
She can't recognise herself.
She has her usual foundation, lip gloss and eyebrow pencil on.
But her eyes took the show.
Her brown eyes now has black eye shadow which had been blended out onto the edges of the cat-eye liner.
"I have an idea" Mayla said "If you just made it look like I raccoon like eyes and then-"
"I can put a darker eye-linear under your eye! Yes! Thanks Mayla" Jace said, "Now look up"
Mayla did as her friend instructed.
After a few moments, Jace instructed Mayla to look back at her again.
Jace gasped.
"Honey,you look amazing! Now, with my help put on your costume and you can surprise Aph" Jace said, helping Mayla jump.
Mayla quickly took off her loose thin top and with help of Jace, put the top over her hair.
"Why didn't I just this before?" Mayla asked.
"Because I could have gotten it dirty now, put the tights and boots on and get your mask and blade, I'll see how Aph is going" Jace said and then walked out of Mayla's room.
Mayla took the ripped tight-like knee high socks and put it on, followed by black combat boots.
Mayla sighed and grabbed the mask and blade.
She looked at herself before her full length mirror.
