I’m standing in the bedroom window. Watching from above the lively atmosphere by the pool. A birthday party prepared for me. From above I can also see that my siblings are already beautiful and handsome. Each of them hangs out with their school friends. I only invited two or three people of my friends which is kind to me. I’m too lazy to invite all my classmates. It only gives me a headache to serve them later.
I sat on the edge of the bed. Staring at the mirror in front of me. What clothes should I wear? Madam Emma told me to dress beautifully. Sarah told me to change the image. Only for tonight, she said. And even if I want to change my image, the clothes I have doesn’t suit the event at all.
I scratched my head cus I’m tired thinking about it. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. I turned around.
” Sarah! Come in. “
” Well, why aren’t you ready yet? Hurry up, there are many guests. “
” I’m afraid Sarah. I’m shy. “
” There is nothing to be ashamed of. You have to get used to life like this, understand? “
I don’t understand! I deliberately don’t want to understand.
” Madam told me to come check on you. Hurry up and get ready! “
She walked away leaving me dazed. Again someone knocking the door of my room.
I raised my back towards the bedroom door. My brow furrowed when I saw a girl smiling sweetly at me.
” Yes? “
” Hi cutie! I came to make over you, you know.”
After telling me that, she walk into my room without even asking permission from me. I’m still blank.
” Umm, but…”
” Somebody sent me to make over you, cutie. “
” Who? “
She didn’t answer my question. She walked fast like a catwalk towards the dressing table.
” Sit here dear. “
That girl gently patted the end of my bed. Just like there’s something possessed me, I agreed and continued to sit.
” Look at this, this dress is beautiful, go change quickly. ” said that girl giving instructions to me.
She took out a pair of blue dresses. The design is beautiful and simple. I took the dress and put it on my shoulder and styled it in front of the mirror. Blooming over my knees. Large flower on the left chest and ribbon on the left and right shoulder. It’s beautiful! It matches my taste.
I smiled. I’m beautiful tho! Lol, what I’m thinking about?
” Err, may I know who arranged all this? “
” Don’t ask too many questions, go change your clothes quickly. There are too many people already. Else you are the one who will be shy to go down. “
Like a kids, I obeyed everything she said. Her hands put on my makeup quickly. She released my hair and placed it in a pin on the left and right side of my hair. My front hair is twisted and left hanging. It’s perfect for my teenage image.
” Okay. My work is done, you’re so beautiful tho. Next time don’t hide, you know? Let the men’s stunned look at you, ha ha ha…”
She laughed while covering her mouth with her two fingers. She walked away and left me grinning in front of the mirror. She also put on my makeup beautifully. Simple.
I reached for the silver laced shoes provided. Wide-heeled shoes. It is only about two inches tall. Quite comfortable.
I made my way down the stairs one by one with a pounding heart. I have never felt a situation like this. Tonight the main character is me. Like a movie I’ve seen. It’s like a Cinderella fairy tale and I am the main character as Cinderella. Local Cinderella. Without carriages and glass shoes.
All eyes were on me as soon as I stepped towards the swimming pool behind the house. The atmosphere is quiet. It looks like they saw a ghost though. My steps stopped. My face feels hot. Reluctance. In my nervousness I tried to look around. Do I look so bad and ugly that they react like that? This is all because of that girl. But, when I looked in the mirror earlier, my appearance was fine.
My heart is beating fast. My legs are stiff. Where do I should go?
I looked for a glimpse of Christy and Caden. They are the only healers for me. Only they know how I feel right now. While looking for them, my eyes collided with Daniel. As if his eyes were staring at me, making me even more uncomfortable. Sarah came smiling.
” You look so beautiful Charlee, let’s go. “
She pulled my hand towards the main table. Madam Emma was already hugging my shoulder.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is the sweet seventeen Charlotte, our birthday girl tonight.” Sarah’s voice loudly introduced me to the guests.
I just smiled shyly. The skin on my face felt thick. Crazy! I’ve never felt it before. My first birthday party and I didn’t like it!
There were naughty voices whistling. I tried to find where did those distant voices come from. Turns out they were friends of that stupid jerk.
” So, let us sing a birthday song for her. “
At the same time the guests who were present started singing happy birthday to me. My siblings who were standing in a row next to me also sang the song. It’s clear on their faces the joy and smile that always adorns the faces that I love. They must have had a lot of fun at that time.
After the song was finished, thunderous applause echoed.
” Charlee come, blow the candle. “
I just obeyed Sarah’s words even though I didn’t really like it. Once again thunderous applause echoed.
I cut the two-tiered cake into small pieces. Anyone who wants to eat, just take it at the main table.
” Charlee, you are really sweet tonight. “
Sarah smiled sweetly at me accompanied by her fiance, Harry.
” Yes Charlee, you are indeed beautiful. Till that one guy, can’t stop looking at you. “
They both laughed warmly. Very romantic. I just raised my eyebrows.
” A guy? Who? “
” Over there…. “
Harry pouted his lips towards a group of men. I frowned again.
” Which one? “
What I saw were all friends of that stupid jerk who come to Aunt Jane’s restaurant before. They all looked at me and waved their hands. I greeted them with a smile.
” The one who lived together with you, of course. “
Huh? Lived together? Daniel? Is it Daniel that these two lovebirds talked about? I stared at Sarah who smiled mischievously.
” Just enough with your cold war Charlee, Daniel is tortured, you know? “
What is Sarah trying to say? I stared at Harry. He just smiled thinly and nodded in agreement with his fiancé’s words.
” What’s the point of being tortured? I don’t understand! “
” You don’t understand or… pretend not to understand? “
Sarah is trying to get my reaction. What’s wrong with pretending not to understand? I really don’t like these implied languages.
” It’s okay baby, she will understand that soon.”
Harry looked at Sarah meaningfully. The girl just nodded and smiled sweetly at me. What a nonsense they’re talking about, better I go to my siblings.
From afar I saw Christy taking food for Caden. I approached them.
” Siso, happy birthday! “
Caden kissed my cheek and smiled at me.
” Happy birthday Siso. How are you feeling now? “
” I swear this won’t never happen again! It’s embarrassing tho. “
She laughed. I just glared angrily. I don’t really like it!
” Come on, let’s sit there. “
I pulled Caden and Christy’s hand. We relaxed eating at the round table by the pool.
” Siso, who make over you tho? You’re so beautiful tonight till everyone is mesmerized, you know. “
” I don’t know, suddenly there a girl came. She is the one who made me look like this. “
” Who arranged it? “
” That’s what I’m wondering too. I asked her but she said it’s somebody. What I know is, I feel so shy… I feel like jumping in this pool.”
Once again Christy laughed. This time her laughter is even bigger.
” Why you going to jump into the pool? What a funny joke, Siso! “
I snickered.
” But I noticed, there is a pair of eyes that never get tired of looking at you, Siso. Since before until now. “
I frowned looked at her. But it’s just like I knew who was she referring to.
” Who is it? “
” Siso, try to find it yourself. Even now he is looking at you. “
Listening to that, I looked around. My eyes collided with Daniel’s eyes. He stared at me with a serious face. Even if it’s far, it’s still sharp. It’s making my heart beating crazily. So, it’s him that Christy talking about.
” Ahem.. “
Christy voice making me shocked and I looked at her with a serious face. Trying to hide my nervousness actually.
” So, now you know Siso? ” She trying to tease me but I didn’t answer her question. Then we continued to laugh and talk to eachother.
I also had time to glance towards at Daniel. He still staring at me. I started to feel uncomfortable. My siblings already done eating and they making their own agenda.
I just make my way to go, my classmates came and took a sit beside me.
” Charlee, happy birthday, you look so beautiful tonight. ” James said and he smiled at me.
I just smiled.
” I know right, they had no chance to see you dressing like this. ” Adam added.
” Shuu.. don’t tell them, okay. Else they will upset with me cus I didn’t invite them. “
” Hmm, Charlee.. seems like you don’t trust us.”
Sofia grinned.
” It’s not because I don’t trust you guys. I’m just reminding you. Don’t be upset, okay. “
The three of them are my best friends at school, because only three of them who don’t care about my past life. Only them who never leave me alone. So, they are the only ones who are close to me. And they are also the ones who help me a lot in studying and they also happily lend me an important notes. I am very grateful to them.
