A Page's Fate

Night out

Elliot POV

I look at myself in the mirror, I was currently wearing a black dress. It had laced sleeves and the dress reached slightly over my knees. It hugged my body well.

I hated it.

I never really liked wearing dresses. I groan in frustration, it was the only nicest thing I had in my closet. I was about to change until there was a knock at the door. I went to answer the door to see Sonia and Nathaly. Nathaly wore a blue dress with cute heels. Her hair was curled and she wore makeup. Sonia was wearing a nice pair of jeans with a cool black top and cool black boots. Her short hair was spiked up and she had eye-shadow on. They both looked very nice.

"You're not ready yet?" Sonia said, eyeing up and down my outfit.

I let them inside, "This is the only dress I have." I groaned.

"I think it looks cute on you." Nathaly said, "You got any black heels?"

She walked past me and went to my bedroom. Sonia and I followed her to suddenly spot her digging through my closet and pulling out some black heels.

"These will do." Nathaly said proudly.

I sat on my bed and put the heels on. I then felt Sonia brushing my hair and tying it up into a ponytail. They both then added some eye-shadow and a bit of lip gloss.

"There we go! Done!" Sonia said.

I look at myself in the mirror and was shocked that I did look nice.

"Come on! We should go now!" Sonia said, pulling Nathaly and I.

We finally get out of the house and went towards Nathaly's car. My friends talked about how the library had been having recent repairs and having new furniture all due to the scholar committee accepting the place to hold the datapads. The library was even getting new computers and carpeting. I was thrilled to know that they were having good changes.

"Oh, and the best part is that Steve hasn't been coming to the library anymore!" Sonia said, "I think he finally got in trouble with the city."

Now that was music to my ears.

"Anyway, enough about us, what about your place Elliot?" Nathaly said, "Do you like working for Mr. Pax?" She giggled at the last part.

I blush, "Y-yeah it's been great, I'm going through training right now, but overall, it's been going well." I replied.

It was the truth, training had been well.

"So how is he like?" Sonia suddenly asked.

"Huh?" I said.

"Mr. Pax dummy!" Sonia replied, "Is he nice? Strict? Is he single?"

Optimus was many things. Good things.

"Well he's nice, he's very loyal and smart. He cares for his job and he's a really sweet guy. There are times where he looks strict, but he has to keep a good reputation for his fellow coworkers." I said, starting to remember his kind gestures and the time at the birthday party where he got along with my family and my little niece.

"Oooh~ It sounds like someone has a crush." Sonia cooed.

"What!? No I don't!" I snapped.

"Suuure..." Sonia replied with a laugh.

We arrived at the club, Nathaly parked her car on a nearby parking lot. We walk to the club and notice some guards at the front entrance. They opened the doors for us, allowing us to walk in. The inside was huge, there was a DJ stage at the far side of the building. Nathaly, Sonia and I walked to an open table that was near the bar stand. The table had a holographic tablet where one could order drinks or snacks. We all clicked on what we wanted on the tablet and talked while our drinks were being prepared.
