"Two Days After The Weekend Getaway"

We got in the car and the first place we went was the nail salon. We walk in and immediately they get to work.

I get a mani and petti. Jasmine got matte nude ballerina nails. We head out into my car. I go to the trunk to get a Snapple and hop into the passenger. "The mall." I tell her the next place on our list and she drives. We get to the parking lot and I run to the corn dog stand. I get a jumbo corndog with ketchup and mustard and a pickle and Jasmine gets a pancake cinnamon corndog with syrup. We walk into a wig shop and I grab the most beautiful blonde wig with black roots. It was a joke purchase but we might actually put it to use.  We ring it out then head to a shop of Jasmine's choice.

Jasmine grabs black jeans, a silver crop top, and a pair of silver shimmer shine red bottom pumps. I get the gold version of pumps and a gold off the shoulder, long sleeve crop top and black jeans. I'm probably never gonna wear it but I wanted to buy it just in case. "We gone be fresh af tomorrow." She says excited. "I know." I reply as I put our things on the checkout. 

Dread fills my stomach because I don't want school to start so soon considering we've had so much fun. The cashier says, "Your total cost is $140 and 68 cents." I give her my card and we leave. The heels were obviously fake, which is why the pricing was so low. 

"What should we do now?" I ask Jasmine and her phone rings. "Hello?" she says on speaker mode. "Hey are yall done shopping? Me and Liz are!" Brettany says. "Yeah! What you get?" I ask Brettany. She replies,"Me and liz are twinning! We got matching black skirts, floral button tops and some wedges. How bought yall?" I tell her what we got and after a little small talk.......

"MY GOD!" We hear a woman say and we run to her for help. "Are you okay?" I ask and she says, "No ze two models I had for ze runway event are injored and can't partizipate! Wait! Both ze you, strut. Show me your face!" She grabs us by our cheeks and looks at our legs. Growing up we were teased cuz they were longer than normal. "You two are ze pearlfeect! You can be ze models for ze runway! Yes, I am zaved! Here are ze invitations. Gotta run, be zere!" She says as she disappears.

"Omg! What happened? Are we going to a runway?" Jasmine rambled shocked but excited. I reply, "I guess we are ze models for ze runway." mocking the woman's french accent. We continued reading the invitation. "September 8th. A runway gala event. Model entry plus 1! That's tomorrow! We have to buy dresses."

We start running for the dress shop.
We tell Brett and Liz to meet us there and we grab four of the cutest dresses they have. We also got some matching pumps in our sizes.

Dominic- Gold and white dress
Jasmine- Pink with pink accents
Brettany-Blue with silver diamonds
Elizabeth-Pink with black bow

We go to Elizabeth's dorm to try them on and practice our walks. Elizabeth mumbles, "Jesus! I went up two sizes already!" We look at her confused and she says she's bloated. We take a couple instagram selfies before we remove the dresses. Wrapping them so precisely, it is IMPOSSIBLE to damage them in any way.

We practice our make up looks even though Jasmine and I are probably gonna get it done there. That night I went to bed extra early, brushed and white stripped my teeth 3 times, shampooed and conditioned twice, and scrubbed my body all over with my lemon sugar honey scrub. 

We were trying to prepare for something we have never done before with a very small heads up. 

***********
"Type it in exactly Jasmine." She pulled out her phone and typed the address on the back of the card into the gps. Our hair straighten and face bare (as always) to give the cosmetologist a plain canvas. Brettany and Elizabeth are rocking the mermaid waves on the other hand. Our dresses and pumps in the trunk we step out of the car in nothing but our plain white rompers. Brettany and Elizabeth changed but Jasmine and I stayed.

We walk into the Gala through the back. "Come on models. Hurry hurry. Ze are waiting for zu." The same lady from the mall chanted. Some small talk later we got our outfits to change and walk in. We had to model four outfits each which seemed like a lot for a first timer. We do owned the stage, the girl in front of me tripping but quickly recovering. After, we head to the car in the rompers to grab our outfits to change into for the after party.

We change in the back but had to exit and walk around front.  "Welcome in, Ladies" the guard says and pulls back the velvet red ropes. The woman probably chose me because I'm a petite boy but somehow still have the proportions of a woman.
