There I was in my trumpet gown which flowed all the way to the dark-coloured marble floor with fine rich silk and standing in the mirror with many thoughts in my head as I kept contemplating myself on how far wild I've gone and become.
when she walked in, my best friend and my enemy Lila, whose only life has been about how fabulous she looks and also has a very successful career in fashion designing and Yes as you may have guessed she designed my clothes.
Still deep in several trains of thought i heard a very loud and familiar voice screaming my name
Lilac:"CC, you are going to be late as always you do this all the time and i'm reconsidering becoming your advisor"
CC:awakening from my thought "well i do own the show i said with a mischievous grin on my face.
Lilac scoffed and took a deep breath showing her frustration when she noticed that my makeup was only half done.She raised her eyebrow sat me on the chair in front of the dressing mirror and started dabbing and blending very fast before she could even finish we had already started hearing announcement from the stage and my name was about to be announced.

As she taps my shoulder and says "remember you own the show cuz you do and cuz you earned it". Walking to the stairs leading to the stage with my gown flowing behind me as I made my way to the stage when my name was announced.
I could feel the aura of the crowd as I walked to the MC to receive my award as "FEMALE OF THE YEAR 2023".
Almost breaking down to tears when i saw a familiar face staring deep in my eyes with a bright,unforgettable smile
"Is it really him? i asked myself "
