Dress

       Immediately Maddy got home, she began ransacking her wardrobe for any nice outfit to wear..

"wow, this birthday is sure gonna be grand!". Evie muttered as she looked at the invitation card on her hands.

"mm...". Was all Maddy muttered, as she continued her search.

"you sure, I can't come along?". Evie asked for the umpteenth time.

"You've asked me before! My answer remains the same! No".  Evie let out a sigh as she looked at the card and realised she would be missing a lot, more especially; food!

She let her remaining body fall on the bed as she stared at the half opened ceiling which needed repair. A ceiling fan was once there, buy it got spoilt, fell....ugh! It was terrible.

Maddy let out a sigh as she threw herself on the floor. "i have no clothes!". She mumbled. Then, she looked at Evie who seemed to be in thought, as a grin appeared on her face. She poured Evie's clothes too as she searched to see any party outfit. Her eyes finally landed on a black handless v-necked dress with a slit at the right.

"am borrowing your clothes Evie. Thanks!". She hurriedly said as she stood up to change.

Evie snapped out of her thoughts as she heard her name, though she didn't hear the rest of what Maddy mumbled. She sat up, and her eyes quickly darted to the direction where her clothes were kept.

"what..you..." then she noticed the clothes Maddy was putting on.

"my dress!". She flew out of the bed.

"chill, its just for the night. I don't like it anyways!". Maddy said nonchalantly.

Maddy stood in front of a full length mirror which was broken into half as she examined herself. She looked okay, doesn't she?

She picked a pair o sandals, but Evie quickly snatched them from her.

"what are you about to wear huh? That's fashion disaster!". Evie complained as she checked for her shoes which would fit the dress.

She finally found a pair of white stilettos and handed it to Maddy!

"no no no! I can't wear this". Maddy mumbled as she pushed the shoe back to Evie.

"if you are not wearing it, then take off that dress. Even if am not going to be there, you can't disgrace me!". Evie scolded, as she pulled Maddy's legs and slipped the shoes on.

"there!" She has a smile of satisfaction. Maddy stood up, not so gracefully as she held everything for support, including evie's face.

"God, just kill me!". Evie shouted as Maddy was still pressing onto her face.

"sorry!".

    Evie helped Maddy apply some make up even though Maddy had bluntly refused. I guess between both of them, Evie was the most stubborn.

Maddy was all set...well, not really, because she couldn't walk with heels, she complained that the v neck was too deep, revealing her cleavages, and she kept pulling the hem of her dress, complaining that the slit exposed her right thigh a lot.

Maddy gave her a small silver-like purse that matched with her hair pin, necklace, and wrist chain.

"now hurry!". Evie urged. Maddy still stood in front of the mirror as she examined her self.

"seems its fits her too well!". Evie muttered as she stared at Maddy. She was looking gorgeous; the dress complimented her looks, bringing out her nice curves. Her hair was packed in a classic bun. Evie felt to urge to take a pic of her, but frowned remembering she doesn't have a phone.

Maddy sighed helplessly as she stumbled out of the house. She boarded a cab that took her to the venue.

      Jason had informed his team about the sudden performance. All of them we're excited expect Marcus of course. He was still expressionless, lifeless.

"dude, we ready!?". Max asked as we stepped and our bouncers placed the instruments at the back of the van.

"yo!". They all replied him.

They stepped into the van, and the driver drove to the venue.

      Kira sat in front of her dressing mirror. She hoped Jason would show up, else her birthday would be screwed. She bit her lips nervously as her phone rang, and the caller was Jason's mum. She had avoided picking her calls for fear of bad news.

"kira! Are you okay?". Her make up artist asked.

"mm!".

"you don't seem lively ". She said worriedly.

"am fine Sheena!". Kira replied.

"you should go out now. You're all done. Shouldn't you welcome ya guests?".

"Yea, I will!".

Sheena looked at her friend helplessly. She didn't know what else to say, so she just kept shut.

"Sheena!". Kira called out, breaking the awkward silence.

"yes?". Sheena replied, listening with rapt attention.

"am I pretty?". She asked, and Sheena let out a sigh.

What that even a question?  Kira was a very pretty lady no doubt, and Sheena knew where this question was heading to - Jason!

"yes dear, you are!". She replied then added "fuck those that don't think you are!". Kira sighed. Why didn't Jason find her pretty enough? Didn't she have good Morales? She was brought up well, and from a good home.

"Kira! Snap out of it. Go out and meet your guests!". Sheena's voice rang through her ears, and it seemed to work, as kira quickly stood up, adjusted her gown and stepped out.

"love...". Sheens mumbled, as she watched the back of her friend.

Maddy got to the venue and stepped in. The lights were dim, and warm music welcomed her, but the outfits of other people?

"terrible!". She mused as she saw dresses that seemed like inner wear to her.

She stumbled across a corner, and pulled off her heels she had secretly carried a pair of comfy flip flop. Just as she had removed the second shoe from her leg, a shadow hovered before her.
