THE GALA 2
"It's a good thing they're ready for the gala at least they have more chances than I have, they're more pretty than I am!". I studied myself in the mirror, even I cannot recognize myself anymore. I had to fall in love with myself all over again. "That's not true miss Hazel everyone knows you're more pretty than the other misses!" She helped me arrange my dress.
"When did you learn to be so fashionable ?" I looked at Brianna and she smiled shyly. "I learned it from my aunt before she died, it's a talent I learnt to forget about!" She took a deep breath. "I think you're ready?" She walked to the corner of the room picked my diamond purse good luck miss Hazel!" Brianna gave me my purse, I took it from her, used my right hand to hold the side of the dress from moving under my shoes. I looked at my dress once more standing this time, and realized how defined my curves were in this dress, showing most sensitive part of my body.
Somehow this gave me some kind of confident which I didn't think i had before. I wore a shadow diamond necklace and pinned earrings cause my hair would cover it anyway. My ice blue eyes matched with my black curly hair. " Let's go!" I said to Brianna and she helped me out of the mansion.
On getting out of the mansion I saw a black limo already parked at the entrance of the mansion waiting for me with five extra convoys, I could see more than 10 bodyguards standing outside.
They all rushed towards me the moment they saw me coming out. I wouldn't say I was not disquieted at first, I mean they were huge men. But i had to cover it up with an impassive face.
"Good evening ma'am, I'm Stefan from the Wilson's resident, I was asked to pick you up by my boss to the gala!" He bowed. Do they really send rides and bodyguard to everyone attending the gala? I thought to myself. "Okay!". I smiled and got into the limo and we drove off.
But on the way I kept wondering why I was treated this way 'maybe it's the business dad talked about. Then what's the use of dressing up if I'll be working there anyway'. I thought to myself and tried not to think about it.
We arrived at the event, the bodyguards came rushing to open the door of me and helped me out. I walked through the open stairs leading to the dinner hall, there were lots of paparazzi taking pictures and few known celebrities.
People of the highest status were there. I imagined a normal gala not an extra ordinary one. Never in my life have I dreamt of attending an event like this, instead of standing like a statue I decided to move around and explore the place.
"I can't believe nonentities attend elite parties, don't you think this is too much for you Hazel?" Belle and her two friends laughed at me. I took in deep breath and exhaled then I smirked, I already decided not to let anything or anyone ruin this once in a life time opportunity so I walked out on them.
