Chapta 4: The Makeover
"Oh my Satan!" Ebony screeched as Delores relayed the news. "He said yes? Oh, bich – I knew you could do it! I'm so proud."
Delores felt her face flush bright pink. "Thanks!"
Ebony glared at her.
"Oh, sorry – fangz," Delores corrected herself, and Ebony deflated, nodding in approval. Delores couldn't believe her luck – the hottest, most emo to the extreme boy in Hogwarts agreed to go to the Winter Ball with her? Her heart was about to explode out of her chest. Just thinking of his gorgeous visage even now made her want to scream, and she had an urge to… throw something small and cute. She couldn't figure out exactly why, but she didn't dwell on it too much – she had a Ball to plan for!
"I am going to give you the best makeover," Egogy expelled.
Oh no, Delores thought. "But… I like the colour pink, and you don't," she argued. She wanted to be herself.
"No arguing," Evony spittered. "Do you really think Tom Riddle, hottest of all Slythern hotties, likes you for your personality? He is a Slytherin, and true Slytherins dress emo. You need to wear black. If you want to be his girlfriend, you need to dress the part."
Delores felt her heart sink. Tom hadn't said anything about her clothes when he agreed to go to the Ball with her, but she didn't argue more with her friend. She had a feeling she wouldn't listen.
From the bottom of her hot pink heart, she knew that Tom saw and appreciated the true, inner Delores. The inner Delores who had an obsession with pink and cats – and he liked it. She didn't know how to explain it to Egogy – who always wore so much makeup, Delores didn't' actually know what her friend's face looked like. She had a bad feeling about this, but what if Ebony was right?
That night, Delores had a tough time sleeping. Her cat sat on her, purring away like a little motor, and she finally fell asleep, dreaming amazing dreams of dancing with her love. In her dreams, she was wearing a most gorgeous pink gown, complete with a pink feather boa. Her cat, too, was wearing a pink boa, and was dancing nearby with Tom's pet snake, who was wearing a pink bow tie. Tom himself looked radiant, dressed in… pink sequined robes. He looked at her like she was her world. Delores wished she didn't have to wake up.
