One day, Helene came into Ella's attic bedroom, with a smile. That smile Ella had learned to fear, for every time Helene did it, it meant something fowl for Ella. This time was no different.
"Oh, Ell-aaaa.." Helene smirked. "Mum says for you to come downstairs for a.. ah... meeting, of some sort."
"I'll be right down." Ella sighed, images of the horrible life Aunt May and Helene would have in Afghanistan. But she had to go- who knew what they would do to her if she disobeyed?
Aunt May had, it seemed, grown more horrible. She handed Ella a flyer. "Read it," she commanded. It was a poster advertising what was supposedly the greatest concert since Woodstock. Ella looked up. Aunt May was smiling Helene's smile. "Continue, my little sweet." It was a Blink182 concert. Ella knew then what Aunt May was doing. Blink182 was all four girls' favorite group. And so, of course, Aunt May's daughters would be going.. and Ella would not.
Aunt May told Ella, "I assume by now you have figured out what you will do to prepare for this?"
"Yes, Aunt May. Helene, Suzanne, and Mandee are going to this concert."
"Exactly. And do you know what You will be doing?" Ella didn't answer. "You will be helping them with their outfits, of course! I have your measuring tape," she held it up, "so you can measure them". "They, of course, know what they want their outfits to look like," she paused to glare at Ella. "And you may be sure that if the outfits are not perfect, you will not be a happy girl," her smile twisted into a horrible one; "So I would advise you to get to work. And work well"
