Today is the D-day.
After we had breakfast, mom and I went to the spa. We had our body polish before we styled our hair. After that we did our make up there. By the time we came back home, it is already after three in the afternoon. The charity event it’s starting by five thirty. We have more than a hour to get ready.
“Okay hurry up and get dress. We are almost late!”. Mom said and hurried into her room. Typically mom.
I went into my room and wore my dress, the shoes and the jewelry. I stood to look at myself at mirror. I actually look like a real life princess.
I hurriedly video called my friends in Australia. I kept the phone on the table and moved back a little so that they can fully see my dress.
“Yo!”,
“Guess who remember us today.”
“What’s up!”.
The all said when they finally connected to the video call.
“Greetings to all of you too!”. I saluted them.
“Who are you?”. Joyce asked me.
“What do you mean by that?”. I asked her.
“Where is Claire and why are you answering her phone?.” Elsa asked me. So I don’t know if they are joking or they cannot recognize me for real. I know that I am looking different but I can at-least still recognize myself.
“Drop the act guys! It’s me!.” I glare at them.
“What!”.
“O my ggggg!!!’”
“Wow!”.
They are screamed at the same time. Trust them to be dramatic about everything.
“Claire is this you? How comes? You are looking like a real life princess!”. Lily commented.
“Make sure you snap a lot of pictures or I will hold it against you!.” Elsa stated.
“Going to America really did you good. Let me inform my parents that I want to move there too!”. Joyce said.
“Thanks guys for all the compliments. I have to go now! We are already running late. Mom has been shouting my name”. I explained to them as I cut the video call.
I head downstairs and saw mom and dad embracing each other.
“Excuse me!”. I screamed in other times get their attention. And that did it.
“Wow Claire you look very beautiful”. Dad complimented.
“Thanks dad, you don’t look bad yourself!.” I commented back. Dad is putting on an all black tuxedo suit.
“Shall we? My beautiful ladies”. Dad said and brought his hands out for both mom and I. We held his hands and went out of the house. Dad fired a limousine car for the night. He said that he wanted us to arrive in style.
Once we reached the venue, other people where there already snapping pictures in the red carpet. We waited for our turn and snap some pictures before we headed inside. A lot of people we have seen have already complimented on my outfit.
Once we entered into the event hall. I scanned around and saw that everyone is wearing black with touches of different colors on their clothes. Although all the clothes are black, they are beautifully styled and look quite expensive. It is today that I understand why black is an expensive color.
After a while, I hear the camera men go wild outside. I wonder who has arrived. Even the workers inside the hall where suddenly busy preparing for the important guests to come.
From the shouting of the camera men outside, I was able to get the name of the VIP guests. They where no other people than the Avila’s. After some minutes of the screaming and shouting, the Avila’s entered into the event center.
The servers immediately ushered them to their reserve seat. They where all wearing the same clothe in difficult designs. Their clothes is completely made of black with freckles of gold on it. The Avila’s are a bit much in numbers than I have excepted.
After they have sat down, the program started. It was as if there where waiting for them to arrive. Dad excused himself and went to join his colleagues.
“So many famous people are here. I feel like this is a dream!.” Mom whispered into my ear.
“I feel like it is a dream to mum!.” I whispered back to her. I look around and took note of as much celebrities I could see. I am very sure Joyce is going to ask about them.
The Charity event started in full. A lot of people donated and at the end of the day, they where able to gather up to thirty million dollars. That’s a lot. I am actually impressed.
After that, the party started in full. Different artist performed and it dancing time now. The dancing floor is full of people dancing with their partners.
“Go call your dad for me, I want to dance too!.” Mom pointed at the direction dad is. I suck in a breath. Ge is standing near the Avila’s and there is no where I will go there and come back with out them seeing me.
“Mum I don’t think I go all the way there!.” I tried to reason with mom.
“Please. When last did I ask you for a favor? It’s been long your dad and I dance. I don’t want to miss this opportunity.” Mom plead with me.
“Fine I will go”. I know personally if I refuse to listen to mom, she will forever hold this moment against me.
