The ball is todaaaaaay. I’m panicking as usual. As of today, we have no classes. The ball starts exactly at 5:30 p.m. to 2 a.m.

I bought a nice dress in the mall. It’s a black and white dress. I don’t know how I would describe it to you but it’s beautiful. It’s mostly a white dress with black designs or flowers.

Hayes wanted to pick me up but it would ruin my secret. So I decided to join the gang. Clarisse and Luna are going to be here later to prepare for the ball. Then after the ball, we plan to have a slumber party. And if you’re wondering… The gang already knew who I am. They were really shocked. I still can’t forget Luna’s face when I removed my disguise. She nearly fainted! I was one of her female crushes. Shocked to hear that. Sheldon rented a limousine and a chauffeur. He is one rich lad. Haha.

Matt is currently going alone in the ball with Hamilton. Matt doesn’t have a date because he’s still finding for ‘the one’. Hamilton is going with this hot chick in his Math class.

I’m currently happy about this ball but I hope nobody’s going to ruin this night. I want this to memorable and filled with happiness.

The clock strikes at exactly 4 p.m. and I smile as the doorbell rings. I get to the door and open it.

“Hi, Michelle Anne Espinosa” Clarisse says and I chuckle.

“Don’t ever call me with my full name” I say and she laughs. I let them in and we walk to my room.

“Okay, bishes. I’ve hired a makeup artist” I announce and they gasp.

“Who is she?” Luna asks and I smile.

“Well, you might totally know her… She’s Mahogany” I call Mahogany from the entertainment room and she comes inside my room.

“Hey guys!” She says and they wave.

“Oh my gods. You’re here! You’re Mahogany Lox!” Luna squeals and I giggle.

“Chill, woman” Clarisse says and Luna shuts up.

“So let’s start with you” Mahogany says, picking Luna. First she starts with her hair. She puts all of Luna’s hair into a high bun. Then she puts flowers around it and it looks beautiful. She did her makeup and it was Clarisse’s time. For Clarisse, she curls her hair and ponytails it. The she did her makeup as well. Next is me, she did the ‘Katniss Everdeen’ braid and did my makeup. I tell Mahogany to make my eyebrows thicker and she obliges. I carefully put my fake small mole on my chin, a part of my disguise.

I thank her and she smiles. I go to the bathroom and wear my dress, careful not to ruin Mahogany’s masterpiece. I slip my feet into my heels and look at the mirror. I smile and walk out of the bathroom. They stare at me and I twirl around. “How do I look?”

“You look absolutely incredible, honey” Mahogany says and I smile.  Luna is wearing a fade violet dress, looks like she stole it from Hermione. For Clarisse, she is wearing a pink dress.

“By the way, Mitch. The boys are here” Clarisse announce and I sigh, grabbing my purse. I spray some perfume and thank Mahogany once again.

“I love you so much, Mahogany. Thank you so much!”

“You know I can’t resist you. I love you too. Now go on steal the crown!” She says and I laugh. The three of us walk down the stairs and I carefully wear my glasses.

“Oh come on, Mitch. Aren’t you tired of disguising?” Clarisse says and I shrug. We walk out of the house and there they are! Brandon is wearing a tux, Sheldon is wearing a white tux with a pink necktie. And Shawn, an all-black outfit.
