The girls chatted into the night and caught up on everything they had missed since they last saw each other. They then slept in late the next day and spent the entire afternoon preparing for the charity ball.
This time, Halia was wearing a beautiful gradient ball gown that went from white at the top to blue at the bottom. The bottom of the dress was studded with little diamonds that twinkled like stars and it looked like a beautiful night sky. Half her hair was tied up and pinned with a stylish diamond hair clip, while the rest of her hair draped down to her hips in elegant curls.
"Wow, you look gorgeous," Natalie praised.
Halia looked in the mirror and felt a little awkward. She wasn't used to getting this dressed up. She had barely gotten through last night, and now, she had to go through it again.
Her friend grabbed her hand with encouragement. "Although I don't know why you suddenly decided to attend this event, there's no need to be nervous, I'm here," Natalie smiled.
