Gracie’s Pov:
I hugged daddy tightly as he handed the bag of new clothes to me.
“Thank you so much daddy” I said in excitement as I pecked him.
“You’re welcome darling…. I want you to wear the best prom dress on that day” Dad said as I giggled.
“I don’t know how to thank you daddy… This is the best day of my life” I said as I quickly opened the bag taking a look at the expensive dresses.
“Miss Gracie! Your bowl of potato chips” One of the maids said placing the bowl on a stool in front of me.
I smiled broadly at her.
“Thank you” I said as I picked up the chips and ate giving it a crunching sounds.
“I’ll go upstairs darling” Dad said as he headed towards the stairs.
“Alright dad! Thank you so much once again” I chuckled as he smiled at me
For the first time, I feel so loved and cared for.
I’ve never been treated or felt this way.
My whole life was filled with hardship and suffering.
I smiled broadly as I continue taking a look at the expensive dresses.
This is beautiful!
The school prom is going to be so much fun ?
I can’t wait to text Mona and tell her of my new dresses.
I quickly picked up my cell phone.
Cassandra’s Pov:
I sat on the bed with my laptop on my laps.
“Dmmit! This stupid laptop is annoying” I yelled
I think it’s faulty.
I can’t even fix it….
This is the most annoying place in the whole world.
Just then, I heard a knock on my door.
Who is it?
I grumbled as I opened the door.
No-one else but that stupid sibling of mine.
?Monica ?
“What do you want?” I asked rudely
She was holding an old looking basket.
“What’s that smell? I feel like am gonna throw up” I said sharply.
“Come on let’s go and hawk dried fish” She said as I arched my eyebrows in confusion.
What the…..
“Are you being serious right now?” I scoffed in disbelief.
“You heard me! It’s time for hawking of dried fishes” She repeated.
I stared at her from head to toe in disgust.
Is she being serious right now?
I mean like she wants me to go hawk dried fish?
“Gross…You’re so stupid! How do you expect me Cassandra to go out there in the streets to hawk?” I asked in annoyance
“Cassandra this is our only way of survival” She said.
I clapped my hands in gossip manner and scoffed.
“You must be crazy…. Here I am busy browsing out the most expensive and beautiful dress for the school prom and you ask me to go and hawk” I cried out.
“Cassandra we hardly take two square meal and here you are booking an expensive gown online” She said.
Anger burnt through me.
“Yuck! You are such a pin in @ss…. Now get lost” I screamed crazily as I slammed the door on her face.
G©sh!
This is the worst thing that has ever happened to me….
I can’t be from this G
god forsaken slum
I groaned in pain as I lay heavily on the bed.
Kill joy…. I muttered under my breath.
I really have to wear the most expensive ball gown for this prom.
I picked up the laptop and hit it again and again.
?PROM NIGHT ?
I stood in front of the mirror admiring myself
I look exceptionally beautiful in my expensive black ball gown.
Matching perfectly with the silver heels ?and
silver purse ?
Though the attire wasn’t as expensive as I want it to but it was manageable.
Just 30 thousand dollars ?
I applied my makeup perfectly.
That was when I thought of my mommy.
I bet she would have called a makeup artist to apply my make up.
Just then… My cell phone rang aloud.
It was Lucy…
They are still my friends though they now think of me as poor.
?Hello Cassie… Where are you?….. Lucy’s voice echoed out of my cell phone.
?I’ll be there shortly… I replied and hung up.
I smirked wickedly.
I can’t wait to unleash my plans tonight.
Gracie is going to regret ever crossing my path.
This is going to be a memorable night for her.
I laughed hysterically.
**
I walked into the prom venue majestically.
All eyes were on me!
I’ve never been so happy…..
They all stared at me in admiration and astonishment.
I felt like a princess.
I actually have the most beautiful gown.
The thing is I haven’t seen that crazy girl Gracie.
My friends rushed to me and pecked me in excitement.
My shoulder was so high in pride.
“Uhmm… Gracie don’t you have a prom date?” Joann asked as they held hands with their boyfriends.
I gulped nervously.
Everyone has a date.
That was when I heard shrieking screams all over the place.
All the attention withdrew from me to entrance.
Who could that be?
I turned around….
To my greatest surprise, it was Gracie.
She got down from the glittering latest Range Rover Sport.
Jake held her hand.
She was putting on a very expensive shiny pink ball gown ?You know pink is my favorite?
She looked extremely stunning.
My jaw dropped in shock…..
