14. Getting Ready

~ KATALEYA ~

“A little more volume, don’t you think?” Raihana asks as she tilts her head towards Delsanra.

I can’t give my input as the mirror in front of me is covered up by Raihana, who said I can’t look until she has finished getting me completely ready.

She’s got her own hair in curlers and she’s wearing a satin floral gown. We’re all getting our hair and makeup done before we get into our dresses. Well, us three anyway.

Delsanra takes a look at my hair before she nods from where she’s sitting on the floor in my room, applying her own makeup.

“Kat, you are really going to stand out tonight,” she says, smiling at me.

“I’m nervous,” I admit.

“Don’t be. No one will be able to keep their eyes off you tonight.”

“I think that makes me more nervous,” I say, making her chuckle.

“You’re a Rossi, own it, I know you can. People will stare at us whether we want it or not,” Raihana says proudly. She did love attention, but I don’t want all eyes on me. I want to hide away when people look at me.
