Ella rushed to her room and rummaged through her closet. Despite its size, her closet was diversely filled with clothes of many styles. Pushing aside all other garments, she came across her favorite thing to wear: a baby blue sundress.
The dress wasn't favored because it was simple, or the way it accentuated her shoulder length chestnut locks, but because it reminded her of him. It was his favorite color. The color of his eyes.
Ella strews the dress across her bed and immediately headed for the mirror. Although she was aware that the flock wouldn't arrive any sooner than three hours, Ella wanted to be certain she had enough time to doll up. She was going to look perfect for him.
After hours of dabbing her freckled cheeks with puffs of foundation, and curling her heavily mascara- applied eyelashes to the best angle, Ella may as well have been the icon of perfection.
Ella had never really fixed up for guys before, nor has she ever been a fan of make up.
Anything for him, she thought.
If someone were to ask, she was merely "experimenting" with her looks. Someone was bound to ask, as she always downplayed her looks anyways.
Before stepping out, Ella took a final glance in the mirror. Hair brushed, eyebrows manicured (the best she could do), blemished concealed, and eyes bright like sapphires; she couldn't have done any better.
Ella smoothed her ruffled blue dress that matched his eyes.
His eyes, she realized, that would never see her.
