2: Beauty in her

"Mom! That dress is too much. I am not going to wear that kind of dress. I am just going to get a cold." Dom whined, because her mother is asking her to wear her strapless cocktail dress which looks perfect for her.

"Honey, Patricia called me a while back and she asked my help to help you look for your dress." her mother growled at her.

Dom rolls her eyes. She hates being controlled like a puppet one.

"Okay, but I am not going to wear that one. Instead, I am going to wear that." she said.

Her mom lets her choose what dress she is going to wear. Her closet is full of many dresses but she is fond and used more to use jeans and crop tops and not too many girly things.

"So, what now?" her mom asks her.

Dom's eyes caught something, a very simple nude dress and it looks better than what her mother chooses for her.

"This, I will be going to wear this one." she said and tried it on, staring to her reflection.

Her mother sighed, she thought that her daughter is going to wear what she is expecting which is her favorite jeans and tops.

"Ugh good thing." her mother sighed.

"Okay, hurry up now! Pat is already on her way." her mom said.

"Yeah right." she said.

She headed to her changing area. She was so shocked to see her reflection wearing that dress. It really suits her even her appearance. Her white shiny skin suits her nude dress. The whiteness of her skin finally shows off as she wore it.

The door opened revealing her mother and her best friend wearing her cocktail sky blue dress.

"Wow." Patricia said.

Dom rolled her eyes. Her mom couldn't even believe what she is looking at. Her daughter merely turns into a goddess. She's already a goddess having such a natural look but she couldn't believe that she's going to look prettier and hotter wearing make-up even if it's light.

"Aww, my daughter is already an adult." her mom groaned, like she was going to cry.

Dom and Pat both sigh.

"Mom, please don't do drama again." she groaned.

Pat just starts laughing and even her mom.

"Honey, I am not. I am just so impressed and so lucky to have a daughter like you. You're so pretty like me." her mom, while walking towards her to hug her.

Pat just awed and took the photo together.

"Okay ladies! You should be careful. I know this kind of party. I did attend like this when I was your age. It's normal to drink but not too much, especially you Dom, or else your dad will scold you and of course, especially me." Catherine Astrom said.

"Aunt Catherine, don't worry. I'll take care of Dom. I will not let her go away with my eyes. I promise!" Patricia said while raising her palm, making a promise.

Catherine Astrom just shakes her head while laughing. She knows that her daughter and her best friend is going to have fun tonight.

"Fine, Fine. Just go and be careful." She kissed them one by one.

She couldn't stop looking at her daughter. Dom looks so mature with how she looks tonight. She merely looks like her mom when she was her age before. Catherine just waves her hands as they drove away. Patricia uses her car to fetch Dom from their mansion.

"So, are you already ready to see how a party works?" Patricia happily asks her.

Dom rolls her eyes away from her. Patricia is the reason why she is wearing her dress and her make-up right now.

"Yeah right. I should enjoy my outfit and looks. I don't want to waste my time and looks just sitting and watching everyone flirting, drinking, enjoying, partying." she said, shrugging her shoulder.

Patricia just chuckles, she finds what she just said so funny.

"Nah, you got it right. This is just once in a blue moon so you need to enjoy your life even once. You don't know, you might meet the man there for you." she said, wiggling her eyebrows at her.

"Pat, focus your eyes on the road and I don't care about any man." she said, rolling her eyes.

"Aww! Dom, you're such a killjoy." Patricia pouted.

"Patricia Mendez, I am not killjoy. I am not just like you who can flirt with any man." she said.

Patricia's eyes widened, she scoffed and starts laughing out so hard.

"Dom! That hurts my ego!" she yelled.

Dom just didn't mind her and focuses her eyes on the road. They had already arrived in the Mclaine"s huge mansion. Both of them were shocked.

"Wow, I didn't know Mclaine's are so rich." Patricia said.

"I know right, but my dad told me that they are one of our partners in business." Dom said.

Patricia groaned.

"Yeah right, I know from the upper class and that's all of you." she said.

Patricia is just in the middle class; more likely they are not that rich like the Astrom's and the Mclaine's but her parents can afford to let her study at a very prestige house. After finding a spot to park her car. Dom just waited for her at the edge. There are many people entering the door, loud noise that she can hear from afar.

"Jesus! I almost got tripped by this gum." Patricia groaned and took off the gum from her heels.

Dom chuckles and shakes her head.

"So, let's go?" she asked.

Patricia nodded. As they both entered, they saw many of their classmates and their own teams. They even change their greetings but they are just looking for Evan to let him know that they had arrived.

"Where is he?" that's their question. They tried their best to look for him but it was so hard because there are many guests mixed up.

"Ugh! I couldn't find him." Pat groaned.

"Me, too." Dom said, even though she's not looking for Evan.
