"E.J. I don't really care what I wear…." I said, while standing on a stool feeling sharp needles occasionally poke into my backside. "Well I do. You have to look hot! How many times do you turn 18!" she exclaimed. "Well I don't think that I-- OW! Careful please! That hurt…" I said, rubbing the punctured spot I had just received on my calf. "Sorry, accident" she said. I shook my head. Sometimes she's such a klutz!
"Oh my….this is the one!" she suddenly yelled, jumping back a few feet. I could feel my body shake from her excitement. "Hey, I actually like this one" I commented, stepping down. "Of course you do! I'm the best of the best." E.J. said proudly.
I laughed, "Ok ok…so I'll be here tonight at 5:00 to get ready and the party's at 7:00 right…". E.J. tucked a stray hair behind her ear. "That's the plan! See you tonight!" she exclaimed. I snuck into the dressing room and took the dress off. "See you tonight!" I said, trying to sound as enthusiastic as possible.
Later That Night
"Jude! You look amazing!" Victoria Harrison yelled, as she saw her soon to be adult daughter standing behind the red curtain looking more nervous than ever. "Mom, tone it down a bit. I'm glad you're here" I said, exhaling.
"Of course I'm here honey….Sadie's out there with Tom. She told me to wish you the best" Victoria stated, taking hold of her daughters hand. "That's nice, tell her I'll see her in a little bit"I said. "Jude! It's Showtime" Georgia said, looking out the curtain and surveying everyone. "Coming!" I yelled. I looked back at my mom and smiled. "See you out there…" I said. "Definitely" Victoria replied. She then leftme to go back out and join everyone else.
I heard my music fill the room. This made me even more anxious. "And now everyone, give it up for the WOMAN of the night…….Miss Jude Harrison!" Kwest introduced me. I knew it wasn't just me who had heard him emphasize "woman". Everyone had heard. I stepped out and was immediately blinded by all the lights. This was going to be one hell of a night!
