"Larry-Boy and Brio-Girl" Chapter 9
The Equestrian building was lavishly decorated and lit that night, the beautiful collosium-like building glistened along with the stars that shone through the circular glass roof, and even though everyone was invited to it, from upper class to
working class, there were no barriers between them and everyone was dressed nicely. Usually, everyone had a great time at the
dinner; dancing and chatting under the stars, having a nice meal, and being reminded of the fact that
they were all equal. Sara's breath was truely taken away.
"Breathe!" Eloise stressed on her.
"Thanks. You're always there for me, "Ruby". Always have, always will."
"Ditto. Hey, you think the nicknames we made up are weird, "Diamond"?"
"Na, they're fun and unique. And sparkly."
And they both burst out laughing. Their friendship really had shown they'd always been there for each other, especially the
beginning, when Eloise defended her from a proud group of girls making fun of her special problem. After that, they properly met and
quickly became best buds. Sara called Eloise "Ruby" because it was her favorite jewel and when she blushed she was as red as
one. Eloise called Sara "Diamond" because, again, it was her favorite and Eloise saw that she shined like one, even though
Sara didn't see it herself.
"Say Sara," Eloise said as soon as they stopped laughing."Where did you get that nice dress, anyway?"
"Uh, I rented it with my babysitting mon-."
Sara would've gone on talking with Eloise, but she spotted someone coming in. Someone who was a certain cucumber, named
Larry. She started on a mad dash to the bathroom, but quickly ran back.
"Sorry, emergency call on my phone," she blurted to Eloise so fast she couldn't understand.
"What?" Eloise called to her, but was too late as she had already run off. She shrugged and went to find a seat for Sara and
herself before the dinner speech started. Sara hid behind the door and opened it a crack as she shook. She was hoping with every bit of her that Larry didn't
recognize her. She didn't want to get on the news as some kind of menace. Fortunatley, he didn't see her. He was getting
ready to give the speech before the dinner. Only he was doing it as Larry-Boy. Everyone was making conversation when a
glass was tapped. It was time for the speech, the toast, and the dinner.
