"Do you know her" Emily asked Lois whispering
"I think so, but I don't remember where"Lois replied in a rather audible voice
"Keep your voice down you Idiot, want her to hear us?", Emily replied.
The woman, upon seeing the two siblings squabbling, suddenly started laughing uncontrollably. The woman appeared highly sophisticated, her appearance still didn't ring any bells.
"Emily and Lois Anderson, you haven't changed, its me, Esther" the beautiful woman said
"Huh" Emily exclaimed
Lois went straight to give Esther a hug, lifting her off her feet.
"Wow, Esther, you look-"
"Different?, Yeah, I know"
Esther Smith was one of the aires to a textile empire, a millionaire to say the least, She lived a far too comfortable life to have fears, doubts, insecurities or concerns about anything . Her only concern though were her parents, who divorced when she was young. A few years later they both died in an accident, coming back from a vacation in Bora bora, since then her older sister has been looking out for her, being the shoulder to cry on.
"You have a really nice house though" Emily said, after being left on standstill for a while
"Thanks, it actually my sister's house though"
"But why is it so deep in the woods" Emily asked
Lois had been expecting the question. Back in the car, when she asked it initially and Lois brushed it aside, She knew Emily in attempt to satisfy her curiosity would ask again, its only a miracle she had been quiet for so long. Lois immediately started squinting to send a message to Emily to stop asking unnecessary questions, Emily clearly saw these gestures, ignored them and continued asking.
"Its for privacy, here no one can disturb us"
"Hmm, I see" Emily said suspiciously
" HEYYYY, ESTHER, ARE YOU GONNA OPEN THE GATES OR WHAT?" Someone screamed from outside the gates. It was a whole convoy, It seemed the other girls had arrived just in time, She opened the gates and the cars drove in. It was show of Bentleys, BMW's, Mercedes all luxury cars you could think of. Lois upon seeing all these cars immediately snatched the car keys from Emily and parked her Old rickety pickup truck in the garage and covered it with a colored sheet so no one could see.
"Really?, dad gave you that truck as a present, you should be proud of it" Emily said in disappointment
"Shut up, shut up"
Among the girls that had arrived were Alice Germain, Gwen Walter, Karen Conor and Charlotte Ferrell. There were all adorned with exquisite apparels that put Lois' dress to shame. It was as if they hadn't aged at all. Alice Germain's part asian and part American, the most intelligent amongst them, she is a master of modern arts and spoke at least 4 languages.
Gwen Walter was Lois' classmate back in high school, she was the feisty one, the wild animal who always got into fights in high school, even she had changed from that to a woman of unquestionable quality. Karen Conor, a caucasian who lived most of her life in holland before settling in America to work and start a family, they normally called her the queen of dragons, since she had a striking resemblance to a character in the hugely popular series Game of thrones. She absolutely hated it.
Charlotte Ferrel was your black all American teen, the soul sister, the black girl with attitude, everyones's confidant and Lois best friend, her natural curly hair was the envy of her friends.
Her two failed marriages didn't even leave a scratch on her persona, the true definition of an independent woman. She was in a black colored summer polyester fabric, with a sleeveless halter collar and elastic waist with her curves stretching out the dress.
"How're you doing?"
"Its been so long"
"You look so good"
These were the pleasantries being exchanged at the house, Emily diffused into thin air, vanished without a trace, to go get a drink at some secluded part of the house since she wasn't the touchy feelings and social type.
Raindrops plopped onto Esther's and the cold weather was intense.
"How about we go inside, ladies, the weather here is certainly not appealing"Esther said
The girls went straight inside and met a restaurant setting dinner table,
"Ou, fancy"
"Where's Stacy"
"She's still on her flight?, but she won't take long to be here" Charlotte replied
The bells rung, Lois being the closest to the door, went to open it.
Screams echoed from the living room as 5 more of the girls came in. "ZOEY LOREN, EMMANUELLE PARKER, CATHY WOOD, MICHELLE FENBERG AND EMILY CLARKE ARE IN THE BUILDING" Emily shouted. Emily Clarke and Emily Anderson were the opposite of each other, although they had the same name their personality couldn't be more different. Emily Anderson was the cool, antisocial type, whiles Emily Clarke however, was the party type, loud and the free spirit girl.
All the girls had their eyes rolling and smacking their foreheads as soon as they heard that voice
"Oh God, she's in"
"Not this girl again"
"Esther, did you have to invite her too?"
"She's our friend, I couldn't leave her out" she replied
Zoey Loren's a simple girl, with an extremely humble fashion sense, the shy type, Some of the girls were even surprised to see her here, since she's the type that normally keeps to herself.
"Oh thank Goodness, someone who is underdressed", Lois said to herself to feel better about her dress after seeing Zoey's. Michelle Fenberg  is German national who lived in America for a while after parents got divorced. Emmanuelle Parker, the cheerleading captain who was always getting her heartbroken because she was too oblivious to spot a playboy. Cathy Wood, the prom queen who got stage fright and mistakenly read out her boyfriend's texts to the school, instead of giving her speech. All these girls had changed so much and looked ravishing in the gowns, Lois was feeling insecure again.
"Okay now that, everyone's in, let's get started"Emily said
"Wait, Stacy isn't here" Lois said
The door beg rung again, Lois being closest again had to get up to open it
"Argh, I am so changing my seat when I go back" she said to herself in frustration
" Speaking of the devil" Lois said
Stacy Hernandes had arrived.Stacy's the light skinned Mexican Latino that had every boy crushing in fifth grade when she first came, she had been visiting her sick father in France for a while. Her beautiful skin, her jet black hair, those hypnotic blue eyes and her body were all redeeming assets. She's the most beautiful amongst them and she knew it. She elegantly walked past them to take her seat beside Lois knowing all eyes would be on her.
" Well then, LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED" Emily said.
