"Charlotte, Layla's here" my mom practically yelled from the kitchen downstairs. She yelled so loud hoping that I would hear what she said, I bet the neighbours down the road can even hear her.

"Okay!! I'm coming. Give me a minute." I yelled back from my bedroom. The neighbours must have thought that we were crazy. I took my purse and a black jacket just in case if it gets chilly outside today and ran down the stairs. I heard voices coming from the kitchen just as I reached the bottom of the stairs. Already knowing who it was, I walked into the kitchen and saw Layla.

"Hey, Laylay" I said, walking over to the table to get an apple.

"Morning, Char, you ready to go?" she asked and I replied with a nod. We left the house and drove to a nearby mall. Haylie's celebrating her Sweet Eighteen tonight and we haven't got anything nice yet so we went looking for the perfect dress. We went through a few shops before we found the dresses.

"That's the one!" I stopped dead in my tracks as we were walking pass some stores, pointing over to a dress that was displayed on a mannequin at the other side of the glass wall. It was a red ombré tight dress with the top cut low. I knew this was the perfect dress as the theme for the party was "Red and Sexy".

By the time we finished shopping and headed home, it was already 4.30p.m. and the party was at 7p.m. sharp tonight. Layla was over at my house as we got ready together. I took my towel and entered the bathroom to take my shower because I was to bath first as Layla did her nails. I curled my hair in big wavy curls while waiting for Layla to finish bathing so she can do my makeup. She was good in makeup and I'm good with hair so we kinda make a perfect together. After she did my makeup, I styled her hair up into a high ponytail and secured it using a hot red colour scrunchie to match her outfit. We wore our dresses on slowly and gently, careful to not smudge our makeup or mess up our hair. We took our purse and left for the party, it was already 7p.m. when we left the house. Oh shit, we're late, time sure flies when you're getting ready.

Luckily no one noticed that we arrived late because the place was crowded with lots of guests. We slipped out of the crowd and hurried over to the side where there were less people and less crowd. A girl, maybe in her late twenties came over, offering us champagne on a tray. We took one each, we weren't officially legal to drink yet but we do sometimes, I guess we just looked matured enough to drink tonight.

The party tonight was a blast! I drank a few more champagne and was drunk. I love the feeling of letting go. Forget all the problems and difficulties you are facing and let out all the stress that you are holding in just for that moment. Luckily, mom was asleep by the time I was home. Layla helped me up the stairs slowly to my bedroom before leaving to go home. I collapsed on the bed as soon as i was in my bedroom. My eyelids got heavier and heavier by the second. Before I know it, I've drifted of to sleep.
