When Maddy woke up the next morning, she was still unsure what to do. She put the box on her bed (still closed) and searched through her closet agan. She knew it was probably silly to do, considering she had looked a few days ago. She didn't find another dress and she didn't have money to buy another. She did have shoes that would match the dress. And she would look great in it... And this was supposed to be a ball and she wanted to look her best. She thought it over and resolutely opened the box. There was the small stain from the cigarette ashes, but, it was in a corner, easily hidden. It seemed that...lady.. was overreacting. She pulled it out of the box and set it on the bed. It was slightly wrinkled, but nothing too bad.
At three o'clock, she began to get ready, showering, then putting her hair back into a small bun. Unfortunately, there was nothing she could do about her glasses, because she needed them badly.
At six thirty, she went downstairs, dressed and ready for Billy. She kissed her mother goodbye and waited for him to arrive.
(I think I already know what's gonna happen... I have to start thinking up a new char? don't i?)
(lol, never assume...It may be your downfall. But, yes, new character.)
Billy soon arrived within his car and he walked up and knocked on the door.
Maddy answered it and she gaped in wonder at Billy! She never thought he would look greater then he already did!
But, apparently, it was so. He was wearing a tux, it was very nice because Billy was in it.
Billy and Maddy waved goodbye to Maddy's mum as they left in Billy's car.
Maddy smiled. Everything was so perfect.
They reached the school and Billy helped Maddy out.
He could not stop staring at her, as if he was mesmerized at how beautiful she was in the dress, which, let's face it, Maddy knew she was.
"Um, what is that stain?" asked Billy as Maddy got out of the car.
"Oh, it's nothing," stated Maddy. "Just some old ash."
"Okay. Shall we?"
"We shall," smiled Maddy and they entered the school.
Maddy and Billy passed by a mirror and Maddy glanced at herself in it, she could not help it, she really looked beautiful, despite her height.
Suddenly, the mirror cracked and Maddy screamed.
As she stopped screaming, she stared at Billy. He was puzzled, looking around as if dazed.
"Billy!" she screamed, but Billy did not seem to hear her. "Billy, I'm here! Billy!"
Billy began walking away to the dance.
"No, wait! Billy! Billy!"
But, Billy could not hear Maddy or see her. All he saw was a slightly cracked reflection of himself in the mirror.....
The End.
