Song For Dolores

Chapter One

Straightening my hair piece by piece slowly to be perfect. This day is important and unlike other holidays. It's the day when all families can be together and have the best times together. Although some of my family members annoy me, but it's that time where I actually interact nicely with them. As I look at myself in the mirror I feel as though I'm too fancy like women like, it makes me little happy maybe people will treat me as if I'm an adult like them. Pencil skirt and a tight shirt underneath is perfect. I glide my hands on my leg too feel how perfectly smooth it is. I can't decide whether to put make up on or not, I'm really not experienced with it only if you count mascara and lipstick I'm an expert in those, kind of still working in the mascara. I check the clock by my dresser and its only two hours until the party, well the family comes and have fun.

Applying the red lipstick takes time for me since I don't really want to look like a clown, but instead look like a women so my family finally thinks I'm one ,although I'm only sixteen, but mature at times. When I finally line the lipstick perfectly on my lips I take a look in the mirror. Sometimes I wish I was skinny as those models. Although I am thin but just not flat stomach as those girls. I look down to my thighs and they are so thick which bothers me sometimes, but I can deal with it. I ignore it and walk downstairs where I see my mom preparing the whole food.

"Hey honey, I nee..." My mom stops talking as she stares at me. She observes what I'm wearing and puts a huge smile on her face. My face starts to get red since I feel like she thinks it's over the top. She comes over to me and gives me a hug and a kiss in the cheek. I stand frozen because I didn't know what to do so I just smiled as she released. "You look so stunning, you look like a grown women." She implied and also added, "I was going to ask you to help me decorate the cupcakes, but I don't want to ruin the way you look." I gave her a smile and responded," Mom its ok I can...."She interrupted me and said," No I insist, your sister could help me and if are bored then just clean your room." I smiled and left to go back upstairs and head towards my room, but just as I'm passing my room I see the guest room being cleaned by my older sister, she is twenty three and she came to visit from college. I walk over to where she is and I am surprised she in the guest room she usually hates it. She looks over to me. I announce "I thought you hated the guest room?"

"I know I do its just mom said there are going to be some of our family members going to stay over for a couple of days." she responds to me. She added," Anyways you look so stunning baby sister, you look my age". I smile and walk towards my room, and realize it is actually a mess. Clothes were spread across the floor, my underwear was Twenty minutes pass which feels like when cleaning. I have an urge just to take a quick nap to make time go by faster since there is an hour left until everybody starts coming. I walk over to my bed and slowly close my eyes until I only see darkness.

I was awoken by the worst dream. My breath becomes heavy and forget everything that I had to do today. I stand up and my skirt is all the way up where my underwear shows, I pull it down and walk over to the mirror I have in my room and as I look at myself my lipstick is all over the place. I start rubbing it off with the wipes and it feels like forever when my face is somewhat clean of lipstick. I apply more onto my lips and fix my hair just a little. I check outside my window and see cars already parked outside our house. I start to worry and put my flats on and take a quick look in the mirror before I go downstairs. I take a peek down before I go and see my grandparents, uncle and aunt, cousins, and I think my dad's friend.

I reach downstairs and greet everyone with a smile and hug, maybe even a kiss on the cheek. I observe everyone and they all seem happy. A knock on the door snapped me out of my thoughts. I head over and open to see a very handsome man standing right in front of my. We wore a tuxedo that looked very good on him with a white dress shirt. I just couldn't take my eyes off of him it felt as if I can just stare at him all day. I hear his throat clear which snapped me out of my thoughts. "Umm...Welcome." I said very unsteady which is embarrassing. I opened the door wider so he can enter. As he passed by me, my breath got heavier and my heart just was beating fast that it can just fall out of my body. As I turn around to look where he went I just realized he is my father's friend, which makes matter worse because I feel somewhat happy around him. I stay with a smile on my face as I was about to close the door a hand stopped me from closing it. I look to see a gorgeous women that was breathe taking. She wore a dress that could of cost my whole room all together and when she smiled it's like she would kill someone with it. Although, I don't recall her being one of my family. I give her a smile and she enters and I close the door. I turn around where she was heading to and it was towards that handsome man at the door. They give each other a peck on the lips. Which hurt me inside for some reason. He takes a glance at me which makes me feel like I was staring for too long, I waved and gave him a lip smile. He smiled back which brought me butterflies out of nowhere. I walk towards my grandma because she was motioning me to go towards her. I was ignoring her just thinking about this guy I just met at the door. Today is going to be an interesting day.
