The remaining weeks of our collegiate year passed like a blur.

Everything seemed to be in a rush.

Now, we are busy preparing for the graduation ball this weekend.

Graduation Day is scheduled next week.

Me and my friends are now spending our clearance week in our favorite salon.

We are cleared already.

There was no graduation practice scheduled today

The three remaining days are intended for our classmates who have incomplete grades in our subjects.

Everything is done.

All that is left is our Thesis Defense. Practicum. Even the compilation of practicum documentation and stuff.

As in, nada. Chill mode on.

We took the three remaining days to pamper ourselves and to relax before the gradball.

"This is life! This is what I have been planning all along! It's a good thing you are so diligent and patient on reminding us what to do! Else we'll be so haggard and stressed out over school works! " Louisse said to me gratefully.

She has her long black hair in long perm which makes her stunning. Her fair skin shone in comparison.

"So true! We are sooo super blessed to have you as a bestfriend!" Trina added and sipped on her milktea.

Trina had her hair treatment and she appeared mature yet innocent in her look.

I rolled my eyes.

"We are about to graduate already. No need to praise me." I joked and they laughed.

After getting our hair done, we stood up and Louisse being as she is requested for a groufie and photo op.

Once satisfied with our shots, we finally paid the stylists and went out the salon.

"Hey wait! Don't ever post our selfies today! Our moment will be ruined once we attended the gradball. We have to stun them with our new look. " Trina objected when Louisse was about to upload it on her Facebook Timeline.

Typical Trina. Always wants to be on the spotlight.

We decided to go to the dresses section and were immediately fascinated with the variety.

Our gradball theme was masquerade.
Therefore, cocktail dresses are expected.

The moment my eyes rested on a beautiful nude colored sleeveless dress.

I knew I wanted this.

I did not bother to look at the price tag and went straight to the fitting room holding it with excitement.

"Hey! Where are you going?" Louisse exclaimed while they are still busy admiring the gowns and dresses.

"Maybe she has found something she likes." I heard the saleslady said.

"You really are quick with dresses, huh." Trina said as I hurried inside the fitting room.

Once inside the cubicle, I placed my sling bag on the small couch and locked my door.

I removed my shirt and jeans then gently put the dress on.

I marveled how the soft fabric grazes on my skin.

I looked at myself in the mirror with awe.

Am I really the woman standing in front of it?

I look so different!

I removed my glasses and ran my fingers thru my hair and neatly put it back.

I tried holding my hair up and I realized how sexy I looked.

My long neck was emphasized by the design of the gown added to its nude look.

I grinned.

I am definitely cool with the makeover this weekend!

New look, new Shainah Ella.

Once satisfied, I removed my gown and returned back my old clothes and eyeglasses.

Holding the dress with such eagerness, I went out the fitting room and head straight to the girls.

"Oh, you're done already? Have you picked out your dress?" Louisse asked and I nodded.

I turned to the saleslady and handed her the dress.

"New stock miss please." I asked and she nodded at me smiling before she took off to their stock room. "I will just go with them to the fitting room but I'll come back here for the new stock."

"Let's go and try this out!" Trina exclaimed.

She had two dresses in her hand
Probably something to choose to.

Louisse, on the other hand, had three. A yellow haltered dress, red sleeveless dress and black one shouldered dress.

"Wow! Aren't we so bright in these, best? " I commented as we went to the fitting room. "I'll just wait for you here. Just go out and strut."

They nodded and went opposite doors.
