Chapter: 3 "Isolation to Socialization"

As I wandered around different shops with the girls, I noticed that both the twins had completely different fashion sense from each other. Stella was a very talkative girl and was constantly chatting with Tara and the others. Rachel was walking with me quietly, she was really shy despite having a bold appearance. Soon, Tara noticed that Rachel and I were the only quiet ones in the group.

So she said:" The next place we will be going to will be chosen by Rachel and Viv."

Rachel and I exchanged nervous glances then I whispered in Tara's ear:" I thought you were going to find a solution to my problem instead of going on a shopping trip with a bunch of new girls."

She replied: " My dear Viviane, this is the solution to your problem."

After seeing my super confused face she further explained that I needed to socialize a little bit and spend my nights at Disco clubs rather than being all alone at home. My thoughts were:" This is a bad idea." but didn't say them out loud. Soon we joined the girls and spent the rest of the evening shopping.

When the shopping ended, Stella asked us if we were free for the night and if we could join her and her boyfriend to the nearest salsa dance club..... Obviously, everyone agreed as all the drinks were on her. We all headed to the twin sister's mansion which was huge, as their father owned an Information Technology Company.

Tara yelled:" This place is just like a ballroom."

Vanessa replied:" Just wait till you see our bedroom!"

Truly their room was twice as big as my apartment. So many fancy decorative items along with their belongings.

Stella yelled:" Ladies we should start getting ready otherwise we'll be late!"

And we all spent an hour getting ready. Stella and Vanessa were awesome makeup artists and took the responsibility of making sure that as soon as all the guys laid eyes on us they wanted our phone numbers. Tara was the hairstylist and gave each girl a unique hairstyle. She curled my long blond hair and braided half of them into a garland, she even pinned in tiny flowers.

Melissa showed us tons of dresses, all of them were short sparkly tubes of fabric. She told us not to wear any long dresses as it was hard to dance in them but I didn't think that I was going to be spending any time on the dance floor.

Rachel was mostly quiet but gave us all manicures one by one. The room was buzzing with noise and laughter. I was reluctant to put on such an over the top outfit but was compelled to do so. Finally, all of us were ready to go slay the crowd. Tara's appearance was changed completely, the blue dress and heavy makeup made her look like a stranger that I didn't feel comfortable being around. Even her attitude started having minor changes.

Melissa and Vanessa looked like the sun and the moon, totally opposite yet devastatingly gorgeous. Rachel looked like her usual self but her beauty was multiplied by 10 thanks to the artistic makeup done by Stella. Everygirl radiated naughty vibes while I looked like an angel, but to my surprise, Stella announced that I was the beauty of the gang and everyone agreed and praised me.

Tara joked:" I am a little jealous!" and I laughed shyly.

And lastly, we got a free ride thanks to Stella's boyfriend. When we stepped in the music was already buzzing in the atmosphere. Melissa handed the doorman a black card and we got in without Red "X"s on our wrists.

Everyone started gasping and yelling why the music suddenly changed and the lights dimmed out as we walked under the spotlight to the centre of the crowd. I heard envious whispers:" Look it's the super-rich and spoilt twins and looks like they have unexpected company."

I was the last to walk to the centre as I was nervous and felt butterflies in my stomach, seeing so many eyes staring right at me made my head spin and my heart thundered in my chest violently. All that extraordinary attention made me spin and suddenly all the voices were drowned out by utter silence, the world became blurry.

I fell to the floor, unconscious.
