Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: Belle Of The Ball

Ugh... I think I may have overdone it... This dress is really hard to walk in. I said to myself as I tried to straighten up the skirt part of the dress... I don't know how people can even move on these dresses... it's so suffocating...

"Honestly... I'm surprised you are wearing that dress. You look fashionable for once in your life Grace." Sungah said behind me as she fixes my hair.

I stared at her through the mirror. "I don't even wear something this bumptious in the office... or in any of the business parties... ugh... This is a nightmare to walk in.." I moved a little however Sungah patted my back and told me not to move.

I sighed as I looked at my phone... I wonder how he is doing... Louie, that is.. I mean stalking him a little online wouldn't really mean bad right? I just want to see how he is doing... I convinced myself to take a look at his Facebook... as I scrolled down... hm...

I was greeted with a notice... he's kept his status private.. although his profile picture... him in a suit and tie... I... wow... he's pretty hot... NO! WHAT AM I THINKING...

"Looks who's drooling at Louie's handsomeness. You little naughty devil." I hear Sungah snickering behind me.

"Oh shut up!" I quickly close the app and hide my phone from her.

"Although I already checked all of Louie's social media accounts. If you were hoping to see a picture of his abs then you won't see it since all of his profiles are private...I don't know why though.. I mean he's hot why not show it off." Sungah said to me puzzled.

"Oh.. I wonder why his profiles were private ALSO NO. I'm NOT LOOKING FOR HIS ABS. I'm not a sexual deviant like you Sungah." I responded as I rolled my eyes on her.

"Anyways. Your hair is done." She said as she took something from her bag.

"Was there even a difference? Like what's the point of trying to fix my hair if it's just going to be messy when I get home." I said grumbling a little at Sungah's obsession to fix me up.

Yes... I know that it's okay to like fix yourself up during these events but I take just 5 minutes to dress up most of the time. We've been here for like an hour already and Sungah just got my hair done...

"You are like saying don't clean a house cause it's just going to get messy again." She giggled.

"I mean like a house is different... having it messy is like unhealthy. Bacteria and the spread of pathogen will increase and it will attract so many pests." I explained.

"Well, that's just like your hair. Gotta keep it styled to keep it beautiful. Hygiene and stuff. Now hold still." She puts my head in a fixed position keeping me in place. "I'm using a spell to put on the make-up since I'm pretty tired... Don't move so the magic can do it's work got it?" She got down and grabbed her make up supplies.

"No I mean like my hair is fine just being clean it doesn't need to be styled or be matching to my outfit or whatever.," I said as I looked at her, chanting something under her breath."

The makeup do-hickeys... Yes, I do not know any of those makeup things she uses since I never use one... like EVER. It started to glow and float towards me. I was surprised and shocked at first but I can hear Sungah saying "Don't move it might poke you in the eye or something. I don't want you to look like a total disaster when you come to the reunion." She said as she reassures me to stay still.

"Do I really need to wear makeup It's not like I'm trying to impress anyone or anything in the reunion... can I just be myself.." I objected to the idea of me using makeup.

"Nah. Girl! Your make up should match your outfit. So stay still while the magic happens. Now would you excuse me I'll also do my make up." She sat down on a chair and focused on the mirror as she does her lips.

Two more hours later and we are done... we were ready... Although it took very long I guess the make up she did or her magic did was okay... I'm not really aware of what's good nowadays... when it comes to beauty.

"Hey ladies! Are you guys done?" Greg opens the door to Sungah's makeup room.

"Almost." I'm just fixing up my eyeliner and I should be done." I can see Sungah pitter-pattering on the mirror over there well I never really understand what she's doing.

"Oh wow! Grace.. you look gorgeous. I guess white and golden really fits you... You look very innocent." Greg smiled and complimented me.

"Thanks.. although I would have preferred normal casual clothing that takes me like 10 minutes to get ready on." I stared at Sungah hoping she would hear it.

"You really need to learn how to be more fashionable Grace. Also, beauty takes time.. you just have to patience." She said as she continued to fix her eyeliner in the mirror.

"Anyways.. Here Grace. I think you would like this. I went shopping and I'd like you to have this."

I can see a pink gift box in front of me. "Aww, you shouldn't have although you could have just given me the thing instead of wrapping it in a box sure I guess." I opened the pink gift box to see cotton candy perfume!

"Thank you I love it! I always love the smell of sweet things since my company is revolved around sweets." I sprayed myself a little with it as I smelt the cotton candy scent. It made me drift as I'd gone to heaven... this is so heavenly...

"Anyways I'm done. OH MY GOD. GRACE YOU ARE SO GORGEOUS." Sungah turns around as she accidentally drops her lipstick.

"You only just noticed?" I said sarcastically.

"No like not gonna lie you look pretty trashy when you dress as your usual self but holy crap. You are gonna be the belle of the ball tonight." She giggled. "Not going to lie I thought it would look ugly since I used magic on it. I haven't actually tried it before."

"WAIT SO YOU LET ME TEST THIS OUT AND THERE WAS A CHANCE IT MIGHT NOT WORK? YOU!" I yelled at her as Sungah as both of them laughed.

"Anyways let's go! We might be late!"

We all grabbed our stuff and we all rode on my limousine to go to the reunion.. a little too fancy but I guess this is okay... Sungah only agreed to only come if we use them...

I walked out of the limousine as we all walked to my old school... I can feel so much nostalgia behind my back. I remember being late here before during the first orientation.

"Guys come o-"

I got caught on the corner of my dress.. as I fell someone caught me.

"Are you alright." He said in a concerned voice. My eyes widen as I looked to see who this stranger was with the familiar deep voice... IT BETTER NOT BE HIM.

"Thank yo-" It was him... Tall, dark and handsome... LOUIE! HIM AGAIN!

AM I LIVING IN SOME KIND OF FAIRY TALE FANTASY WHY DO I KEEP ENDING UP WITH HIM!
