DRESS TO FAME

DRESS TO FAME

"Hey there, Cat! You're looking... Hmm, expensive." I said to cat, my best friend forevermore as I scan her from head to toe.

I had not seen her all through classes in the morning but I heard rumours about her. The rumours were funny but they were all so like Catherina.

I was eager to see her after hearing them and was so happy to see her sitting at our usual table in the school's cafeteria.

I can now see that the rumours were true, and all the stunts she pulled at school are justified but are still funny!

I bit my lower lip to keep in my laughter which is threatening to go out.

"Expensive is the right word for it." She said with a Russian accent.

I couldn't hold it anymore and burst out laughing, "What on earth are you wearing to school now cat?!"

"Like you say, something expensive plus this school needs elegance and it is my job to make this place a more sophisticated place for us all. Someone has to take the first step." She replied still in her Russian accent and while sticking her nose up like a snob.

Ladies and gentlemen, my friend, Catherina has decided to wear a Cinderella ball gown to school despite the school's dress code.

This is another of her pranks of dressing up to school.

She has dressed as so many things to school even as goth which is the number one forbidden thing in our school before.

Her statement are always, we need an upraising to stop the discrimination in our school. She says everyone has to express their selves in their dressing and this school is racist.

I don't buy that though, she is just doing it for the fun and popularity she will get. Fortunately for her, it worked and everyone in school is always eager to hear of what she will dress up as next and blast their Instagram with pictures of her.

She is always looking for drama this my friend and always makes me laugh, it's so fun being with her, it's fun being with someone cheerful and crazy yet sweet.

But let me tell you, the dressing isn't the most funny thing but the escapades she had. She had to sneak into school with this outfit and pass all the teachers who are strict with the dress code.

Everyone, including the teachers all know of her pranks and are in high alert so imagine Cinderella with a dress way to big for her running and hiding, climbing then jumping a fence, docking into the janitors closet and tip toeing away.

She is indeed crazy.

Usually she dresses as people discriminated on but now she just dresses for fun and most importantly, for fame.

I don't think she attends her classes in the days she dresses up.

I know what you must be wondering but no, she has only received detention and suspension as punishment, she will never be expelled because well, her stepdad owns the school.

"Well wouldn't you be caught in the cafeteria? It's easy to get into trouble here you know, I'm sure the lunch lady is already ratting you out." I said to her as I looked at the lunch lady.

"You know she doesn't like you." I added.

"Whatever, nothing is gonna happen to me other than I'll get detention, I've got a whole gang of friends there and they are cool so it's a win win." She snorted as she made herself comfortable with the chair opposite me but the gown she was wearing was having none of it.

"Damn this dress!" She cursed loudly and everyone laughed.

Of course everyone is watching our table and recording her at this moment. I should to be shy and not like attention but then I've been in too many videos that that shyness is long gone.

I love being Cat's friend cause that makes me popular just like her.

"Take the dress off?" I asked amused, I knew nothing of that sort is gonna happen.

"Hell no, you know this dress stays on untill school's close for the day." She replied.

"Then stand and eat your food." I told her, it was then she finally settled down on the chair but not comfortably and it was also then that my eyes took me from her and down to the table where only my tray of food which comprise of a burger and juice.

"Dude you haven't bought anything?" I questioned.

She eyed me "of course not dummy, how can I dressing like this?" She answered with an eye roll.

"Okay grumpy, have fun starving." I gave her a wicked grin then pulled my tray closer to me.

She chuckled, "oh come on, don't be stingy Athena. You know I love you." She batted her eyelashes flirtatiously like that will help.

"What do you suggest I do for you?" I asked even though I already knew what she'll ask for.

"Oh you know, give me your food and get another one?" She said like she was suggesting it but I know better.

I huffed. "Cat you know she'll start asking me questions about my lunch and why I'm buying again. She's going to see right through me and catch you." I tried reasoning with her.

She rolled her eyes.

"For once Tena, stop being such a baby and help me out. Stand up to her, why you're buying twice I non of her business!" She instructed. She was no longer smiley and playful.

I knew the look on her face, the furrowed brows, pressed together lips forming a line going downwards. And the demanding look in her eyes.

I sighed. I had no other choice. She's my best friend and I can't let her down.

I'll have to go.

"Okay," I accepted whilst nodding.

All of a sudden her demeanour change from her serious one to prettified one.

"What is it Cat?" I asked. Her gaze was fixed on something or someone behind me.

It can't be a teacher or the principal cause non of them can get a reaction from her.

I was curious and was about to turn when Catherine suddenly grabbed my hand firmly then shook her head.

She quickly straighten her face and looked right into my eyes.

"Don't embarrass us and turn, Tena." She whispered. "You won't believe who's been looking at us and has decided to walk towards us as I speak!"
