I head upstairs, almost skipping in delight. My hair bounces with each step I take and my mind wanders to when I was last this happy. With my girls back when things were normal. But things aren't normal. Heck, I wasn't even normal. However, I am happy here. I enter the large bedroom and dash to my iPod and flip to the song Chloe by Emblem3 and place it on the dock. As soon as the music fills the room, I start jumping and dancing around the room as I start stripping my clothes. I stop for a second and glance at the door which was slightly ajar. I run over and go to close it right when Klaus passes my room. He turns and raises his eyebrow as an amused expressions falls upon his face.
"Well if you wanted to show me your body, you could've just told me." He says and I roll my eyes, "Shut up, Santa. I only came to close the door before I went to take a shower."
"Geez fiesty! That's exactly how I like them." He smirks and I fume at his comment before flicking a ball of flames in his direction which he narrowly escapes from. He scowls at me before zooming out of the hall and into his room.
"Stupid, annoying originals." I mumble to myself as I turn on the water to the tub. I warm the water as soon as I dip my legs into the pool of pure bliss. Sighing in content, I sink into the warm water. This is what relaxing means. I love taking long baths. Especially when I add the rose petals to the water. My aching back relaxes under the water and I smile as the pain subsides. I wonder what could be causing the pain. It feels like some creature is begging to claw out of my back any moment. Imagine a monster scratching the inside of your flesh nonstop. Dreadful, right?
"Aria?" Hanna's voice carries into the room as light as the air around us.
"In the tub, hun!" I call back and I await her to come in. She steps through the door, revealing her long light golden gown. It wasn't poofy like mine, instead it draped down her body and loomed at the floor. A slight tail pulling along behind her. It looped around her neck, shielding her chest with a sheer chiffon like material. She had no shoes on; I'm guessing they were in the other room. She glances at the serene scene in front of her with her green eyes before meeting my hazel ones. A slight smile tugs at her lips as she notices the steam wilting the flower petals.
"Oh dear, Aria. Your poor flowers are wilting! And you're taking way too long to take a bath! Hurry and get dressed! I have to do your hair." She chastises lightly before heading past me and picking up the fluffy, soft pearl towel.
She raises it next to the tub and waits patiently as I stand and dry myself with it. As I hair dry my locks, she slips out into the room. I soon join her in only my underwear and take the dress from her. I step into the dress and bring it up. Hanna zips the dress up, allowing it to fit me nice and snug.
I look at the makeup table and inwardly groan at the sight. There was so much makeup! I definitely did not like to go all out with makeup. I may be the fashion trendsetter of the group, but I definitely had my limits. I never did too much makeup. I sit down carefully and pick out the foundation, only to get it snatched from my hands.
"No! You have perfect glowing skin already!" Hanna snaps and hands me the rest of the makeup.
I grimace and get out the light grey eyeshadow and brush some on my eyelids. I add some black kohl to my eyelash line and water line. I debate between putting on fake lashes and just plumping them with mascara. Hanna notices and also steals my fake lashes before I could make a decision. I raise my eyebrows at her but continue on. Rocking the brush back and forth at the roots, I add some volume to my already full lashes. I swiftly pull the brush upwards, curling them along with defining them. I didn't need to go all out with the mascara. To finish things off, I dab some burgundy lipstick on and turn to walk over to my show closet. There, Hanna was already waiting for me with silver sparkle pumps. I grimace at the sight, but don't argue. Lifting my skirt a bit, I slip on the pumps and teeter and totter to the mirror. My hazel eyes widen at the sight in front of me. Hanna was right. The dress looks gorgeous. It is the perfect touch to the rest of the outfit. I grin and turn to my best friend.
"Thank you so much, Hanna! It's beautiful!" I exclaim and crush her into a gleeful hug.
She laughs and hugs me back just as tightly whispering, "It only adds to your stunning look, Aria."
"You girls, ready?" Spencer pops her head into the room.
We nod and together we head over to the stairs to make the grand entrance. Whatever may happen with A tonight, we have to be ready together. No turning back now.
