I'm tired and want to go home and sleep. I miss my bed. What if there is a charity ball? I can put on some dress and go. But no Mama and Kristina want me to try all the dresses in the shop.

They want to find the perfect dress for me. I love shopping but not when you are trying dresses for the past 2hours and each dress weighs a ton. My body is aching with trying all the dresses.

But no, mama and Kristina they find one dress too revealing while another too conservative. One makes me look too big for my age and the other makes me look childish. One is too blue or one has too many ruffles. I think they are excited because this is the first time I'm attending a business party or event. They want me to look my best.

After trying millions of dresses they both agreed on a scalloped white lace off-the-shoulder short sleeves with peach tulle floor length long ball gown with lace appliqued hemline and court train. It looks lovely, but it weighs as much as an elephant. But I didn't dare speak up, I don't want to try dresses for another hour or so. At last, they both agreed on this dress.

The next day at school during lunch, I'm sitting with Ryan and Sophie in the cafeteria at our usual place.

"Ryan, Are you coming to the charity ball this weekend?" I asked Ryan. I may feel bored at the party. I don't even know what they do at a charity ball.

"Duh, My Dad is hosting it and I think you should also come with us, Sophie." He said looking at Sophie. Oh, that clears the doubts about why mom and dad are okay with taking me to the party. And why Kristina is fretting about finding my perfect dress.

"Charity ball!! I never attended one. I will come. But you guys know about my curfew!!" Sophie asked with a worried expression.

"Don't worry, I will make sure to send you home in time," I assured her.

Sophie came over to my place and we got ready for the ball. I wore my peach-colored tulle dress and straightened my wild curls and tied it into a high bun and placed pearl clips to hold my bun in place. While Sophie wore a purple-colored floor-length dress with a beaded bodice and sweetheart neckline complimenting her olive skin.

After reaching the venue. I sat at a table with Sophie and sipped my Raspberry frizzy. After coming I came to know that these business events are so boring except for the food. My parents introduced me to some of their clients and friends. We even posed for the press.

After introducing me to everyone. Dad and Robert went to speak business with some delegates. While mama and Emilia are busy chatting with the other ladies.

I thought I'm the one overdressed but I can see people who are dressed like me. But the difference is they can carry their dress with ease and poise where I'm feeling like I'm dragging a tractor with me.

Ryan came wearing a deep blue suit.
"This party is so boring. Come, let's go and dance. Who wants to dance with me first?" He asked excitedly.

"You know that I can't dance, you guys go ahead,"  Sophie said sipping her drink. It's not like she can't dance but she is a shy and reserved girl. But when she is with me and Ryan she will turn into the most fun-loving girl you've ever seen.

I went with Ryan to the dance floor. Only a few people are present on the dance floor. It was fun to dance with Ryan. Joking around, making funny expressions, and doing weird dance moves. Trying to step on each other's feet.

I can see the guests looking at us and giving us weird looks, but who cares. I glanced at my parents and Ryan's parents and they are smiling at our antics. So if they are not bothered then I don't care about the others.

I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and stood face to face with Jason. He was extending his hand in a black suit and crisp white shirt where the top 2buttons were left open giving a peak of his toned body.
