Episode 2

As I raced up into my cramped I opened the large bag to find an amazing dress inside. I hold it high above me, looking into my stand up mirror. It glistens in the small light that comes from the attic window. It’s a shiny gold colour with one thick layer laid among the top. I pulled it on and immediately fell in love with the style. I put on my high heels and race down the stairs. As I reach the door and see them get into their limo, I suddenly remember what they had told me every time we were to go out. I have to take the bike or else I will dirty their limo. I race towards the bike, persistent to make it there on time. My gold sparkling high heels get locked into the gaps in the peddle as I race down the street. Gasping for the cold icy breath of the last snow fall around me. Shivering I finally make it to the restaurant. It’s fancy and seems uptight. As I approach the doors the guard stops me with his arm. “Not just anyone can get in here,” he tells me in a stern voice. But I can definitely also hear a hint of sympathy as he looks me up and down as I'm out of breath. I sigh, as I have gotten used to this and show him my ID that has my name and my given last name. He stares at the ID in disbelief as he looks back and forth between me and the card. “My apologies,“ he says slightly shocked. “No problem,” I respond with a smile as I head inside. Once I get inside I head straight for the washrooms. Passing through the hallways I see countless priceless pieces of art hung from the wall, all of which are abstract. Once I reach the doors, I turn the knob and enter the bathroom in which is probably more expensive than myself. I go towards the mirror and pull out my dull used looking tote bag. In which I grab my makeup and re-apply it. As soon as I am about to finish a young looking lady walks in with what appears to be her friends, as they don't look anything alike. The red haired one leans towards the girl dressed head to toe in black with pure white hair. She places her hand over her mouth and the other girls ear, although I can still hear them snickering while staring at me. As I try to walk out, the girl dressed in black approaches me and brushes her shoulder into mine with force. I stop and grab my shoulder as I can see some small things that have happened in her life and what is to happen in her future. She became rich through multiple divorces, I saw her as a child playing happily only to see her smile fade in other memories. And in the last one, well all that was visible was a shadow above water, as the pain of drowning and betrayal flowed through me. I shook it off and walked out the door as I know that the Hue’s were a very important supporter of Rockbelle Industries. I walk up to the table and take a seat next to George and an empty seat. Across from me at the table sits a tall lean man dressed in a tux with a red tie. His hair is brown with black streaks unlike mine which is silver from birth. His eyes are green from what I could see behind my blue contacts. And he has the tan that everyone wants. I gaze across the table as he has an uptight yet playful aura. Even though I’ve never met him he has something familiar about him. Suddenly he catches me gazing and pauses the conversation to introduce himself.
