(Sadie's POV)
"SADIE!" yells Michelle "your shift is in half an hour I will be coming in the restaurant at 12pm to close and there better be no problems like last time unless it's coming out of your pay"
"yes miss" I say walking down the stairs to lock the door behind her then return to folding the clothes.
I actually wanted to go to the formal. I guess with Romania urging me to go got that idea stuck in my head. Or maybe she didn’t. just the idea of being in a beautiful dress and feeling special for once made me want to go. I don't think im special anyway, I don’t deserve a dress or one of those flower things that the girls get. Oh well.
************************
It took at least 15 minutes for chip and me to get to the restaurant minus getting in and out of the car plus finding an accurate car space that suited chips needs. The car need to be on the same side of the road as the restaurant and within a walking distance of 25 meters.
"Sadie!" exclaims Aunty Lana " we need you to help with the dishing out food"
"ok" I reply walking towards the back of the restaurant and into the the kitchen to grab the food when I see Romania holding a box with Aunty lana standing beside her
" you said your stepmum wouldn't let you so…" says Romania
"she told me and I am forcing you to go" interrupts Aunty Lana " we all put money into buying this dress and chip offered to drive"
" but what about Michelle she comes back at midnight"
"don’t worry about that, me and the rest of the place will sort that out"
"come on Sadie it's masquerade Catlin and Katheryn won't know" begs Romania
" you can't let Michelle control you forever" says Chip from behind me
"and… Arron's gonna be there" says Romania
"ok" I agree just as a over excited Romania jumps around like crazy "what about ..."
"that’s the other surprise" interrupts chip holding a guitar case with a bright purple ribbon on it
"no way" I say grabbing the guitar case out of his hands and opening it up to reveal a black guitar with purple and gold roses covering the guitar. "I cant take this" I say with a sigh putting down the guitar.
"yes you can trust me it's a certain friends old one" says Chip " turn the guitar onto its side"
I did as chip told me, turning the guitar on its side. I saw the initials that were carved in the ones I did when first got it.
"it's yours Sadie just repainted" says chip
"but I thought she smashed it"
"she did I just fixed it in my spare time took ages though"
"thanks chip" I say smiling
"ok" says Aunty Lana "Romania you will help Sadie with her makeup and hair after she gets into her dress"
"I don’t deserve to go" I say just as Romania slaps me in the face
"sadie you' re the only person I know who works 24/7, cooks for their stepfamily and does all the chores plus your stepsisters homework and still manages to keep up with school and extra music shit" rants Romania "now go to the bathroom and get dressed"
(Romania's POV)
How long does it take for that girl to get dressed. Seriously sadie has been in the bathroom for 10 minutes already. I know the dress is beautiful and everything but seriously we need to leave in ten minutes to set up the stage.
"um… Romania" says Sadie hiding behind the door.
"are you finally dressed" I say looking up from my phone; seeing a Sadie in the beautiful dress we got her. Only thing was that she was wearing her converses instead of the silver heels we got her. "um… Sadie what happened to the shoes" I say pointing towards her shoes.
"they were extremely small and too uncomfortable"
" but you cant wear your converses they are all dirty"
"what's dirty?" asks chip coming in with a stack of dirty dishes.
"her shoes" I say in reply
"I can fix that" says chip grabing the sponge from the sink and a cup of water "Sadie grab a chair im polishing your shoes"
I watched as sadie grabbed the chair in the corner and puts her foot on the chair. After chip was done with her shoes they looked just about wearable to a formal.
"now for your hair and make up" I say holding my makeup kit and brush then draging her towards the the staff bathroom. "I'm gonna put your hair in a high pony tail with braids pulling the front of your hair back and… put this pretty headband that I know you'll love in"
"are you sure no one will recognise me" says Sadie
"trust me Aunty Lana has gone to get you the mask she should be back after I'm done" I say grabbing two lipsticks "now pink or natural"
"natural"
"ok I definitely think the red" I say taking out the red lipstick "now lets get started"
