Sienna Collins let out a long exasperated sigh as she stared back at herself in the mirror for the tenth time.
"Enna" her best friend Addison groaned
"You look amazing, stop looking at yourself and let's go already"
It was Saturday night in London, England, and Addison who was somewhat a socialite party girl, had conned her best friend Sienna into joining her at her boyfriend of nine months, James's party.
Sienna took one more look at herself in the mirror, taking everything in and examining herself from head to toe with a very critical eye. She was tallish, with long soft golden blonde curls that feel just below her shoulders. She had delicate facial features, plump lips, and tanned skin. Sienna had a gorgeous figure with curves in all the right places, even though she refused to acknowledge it. But by far her most stunning feature was her eyes, bright and curious they were a stunning electric blue. Sienna was bubbly, cheerful, but shy and conservative to people who she didn't know, she was always on the move doing something, she was one of those people who loved a change because it bought more excitement, and absolutely hated being bored, she really bright and intelligent, everyone kept telling her she had tonnes of potential and she could do anything she wanted, but she didn't have a clue what she wanted...just yet anyway. Her curious eyes where the ones sienna now found herself staring at in the mirror of her best friend's bed room, Addison Lista.
Addison was tall and skinny, she had slightly paler skin than sienna, emerald green eyes, and long dead straight fiery red hair. She had sharp features with little freckles dotted across her nose. Addison was wild, to put it simply, she was passionate about the environment, she had a temper as fiery as her hair if she got riled up, she was party girl, always somewhere with someone, she lived life to the full, very honest, doesn't take shit from anyone, but most of all she was terribly loyal, she always stuck by Sienna no matter what. Sienna was very grateful that she had such an amazing best friend. The two of them together made an amazing pair Addison with her fiery red hair and take me as I am attitude and Sienna with her blonde curls, and her go with the flow approach to life. But although they where an unlikely duo, the two were inseparable, they had been best friends for their entire lives and had no intention of that changing.
The same best friend was now yelling at her from the bottom of the stairs to hurry up. Sienna tugged uncomfortably on her black tube dress, it was tight around her boobs and then fell loosely to mid thigh, she had dressed it up with a long gold chained looped around her neck twice, gold strappy heels, and a sparkly clutch. Addison was right she did look amazing but she felt terribly exposed.
"Come on Enna we're going to be late" yelled Addison from the bottom of the stairs.
"Coming" called back Sienna, she grabbed her clutch, pushed a stray curl behind her ear as she ran out of Addison's bed room, down the stairs and out the front door. Sienna closed the door behind her and cringed as she turned around to find Addison's mum Rachel waiting out the front in the family business truck. Complete with...
LISTA ELECTRICITY
We'll be there in a flash
painted in bright red across one side. She looked at Addison who was bristling with anger, shot her a sympathetic look, took her arm and helped her clamber in to the backseat of the truck.
"Mum" Addison seared through her teeth
"We can't arrive in this; we'll be the laughing stock of the whole party"
"I had a feeling you would that darling, but this is the only thing left your father took the car and Robert (Addison's older brother) took the Ute" Rachel said gently
"But mum" Addison was getting angrier by the minute, if this got any worse Sienna would be lucky to get to the party with her hearing still intact.
"Well how about I drop you off around the corner so nobody see's and you can walk the rest of the way" Rachel said, choosing her words very carefully knowing the consequences of Addison loosing her temper.
Addison's face softened when she heard this, "yeah thanks mum that would be great" she said, calming down a little.
Sienna enjoyed the rest of the trip in silence. Rachel dropped the girls off round the corner, with a warning about no drinking, but knowing they would be anyway, and drove off with a wave. Both girs breathed a sigh of relief as they watched her drive away.
" Lets go Enna" Addison said excitedly "I can't wait"
Addison's mood was catchy and soon both girls where strolling down the street confidently with large grins plastered on their faces towards James's house. The girls walked in and instantly greeted eagerly by James.
"Hey Baby" she said to Addison " you look great"
Addison blushed " thanks baby" she said as she kissed him lightly on the lips.
James must have just realised that Sienna was standing there because he stopped whispering things in Addison's ear that were making her go an even darker shade of pink.
"oh, hey Enna" he said cheerfully "Nice to see you"
Just then some other people walked through the door
" Gotta Go baby, more people to meet" he grinned " Party's in there" he said and pointed to the lounge room, although it was kind of hard to miss, since the music had just been cranked up and you could feel it throbbing through the house. Sienna took Addison's hand, and gave her an excited look as both girls walked down the hall and into the living room.
"Here we go" Sienna said, but Addison hadn't heard her, her voice had been drowned out by the music which was now blasting through her, she let the beat and rhythm of the music take her as she drifted into the room, she was instantly swamped, people left right and centre shouting hello's and waving at Sienna and Addison as they made their way through the crowd over to their group of friends.
