Chapter 90 - 90: The Ball I (1/2)

The girls arrived at Serena's room by 1pm. They brought their dresses with them too. First, they all lied on Serena's bed, placing some thinly sliced cucumber on their faces.

Then, they painted each other's nails and toes, curled and braided each other's hair, they even plucked their eyebrows.

During this time, make-up was frowned upon. However, Serena knew that it was just the excessiveness and there's a way around it.

”But, would it be okay? My mom told me that only prostitutes wear them.” Via said when Serena said that she will apply make-up on them.

”Do me as you will Serena” Gizel and Milly said.

Serena laughed. ”Well, they won't know that we're wearing make up exactly. I'll apply it on you guys and make it look as natural as possible. We'll just try to enhance your beauties.”

Actually, Serena just applied some powder on their faces to avoid it becoming oily as the night grew deeper, brushed some blush on their cheeks, and dabbed a little bit of rouge on their lips.

”and viola! We're done!” Serena said as she made them face the mirror.

The girls looked at themselves on the mirror, the change was miniscule but it indeed made them look prettier.

”Wow, do you do this every day that's why you always look fresh?” Milly asked.

Serena just smiled at her friend not answering.

When the girls were done preparing, it was already 7 in the evening, just in time for their escorts to fetch them.

”So here goes nothing…” Via said nervously. Although she was a little serious with everything, she was still a girl. She was flattered when Kylo asked her if she was willing to have him as her escort to the ball, and although she only reluctantly agreed, she was still looking forward to meeting him tonight.

”My chest is about to explode! Serena, thank you, you've done magic to my looks, I wonder if Paul would find me pretty.” Milly said.

”If he doesn't then he must be blind. Ugh, I'm so jealous of you two, I have made every effort to look this good, thank you Serena by the way, only to be escorted by my brother. UGHHHHHH… I just hope that he would take responsibility for my dance card and ensure that it is filled and hopefully, those dance partners he finds for me are handsome.”

Serena giggled, ”Well, you're not the only one. My brother is also escorting me.”

”If my brother is even half as handsome as yours, then I won't be complaining!” Gizel responded.

”Anyways, let's go and not keep the boys waiting.” Milly, excited to see her Paul, advocated.
