“Cool. Have a good night.” She walks past us toward the main area of the house. The three of us head up to my room.
“For the sake of efficiency, I think one of us should work on hair while the other two work on makeup,” Yuna suggests, which isn’t surprising because she’s doing a math minor and focusing on statistical analysis.
“That works, who wants to do hair first?” I ask.
“You should go first since you have the longest hair,” Priya suggests.
I blow out my hair while Priya helps Yuna apply eyeshadow.
“You better not make me look like a clown,” Yuna says to her.
“No guarantees.” She winces. “I didn’t have dress shoes so I’m wearing sneakers.”
“Damn, me too,” Yuna says.
“I have heels but there’s no way I’m wearing them to a bar. I also hope it isn’t too cold outside because I don’t have tights, and leggings will probably look weird with the dress,” I state.
“Dude, we’re walking into a bar all dressed the same. That is freaking weird,” Yuna says. “Leggings are the least of your problems and it’s freezing outside, so you better hope Luc will be willing to warm you up.”
Priya smacks Yuna’s shoulder. “Ouch.”
“I told you she gave up on having Luc give her lessons. We’re going for one of his friends,” Priya clarifies.
I finish blow-drying my hair and pass the dryer to Priya. Her makeup is done but it looks very light.
My bedroom door is open when Norah walks by. “Do you guys need any help? Like with your makeup. I’m practically a makeup artist.”
The three of us stare at each other and a look of acceptance passes between us. “That would be great,” I say to Norah. “Thanks.”
Norah leaves my room and returns with three different makeup caddies.
She gets to work on me first. She puts mascara on my already long dark lashes and uses eyeliner in a way that makes my eyes look deep and sexy. She finishes the look with red lipstick.
“I think the lipstick is too much,” I say when I look in the mirror.
“It’s perfect,” Norah assures. “Who’s next?”
Yuna steps up and Norah gets to work. “You’re getting red lipstick too.”
“Oh no, red lipstick screams I want to have sex,” Yuna says, terrified.
Norah laughs but Priya and I know that Yuna isn’t joking.
“You’re going to a bar. Don’t you want to find a hot guy to have some fun with?” Norah asks her as she applies blush on her cheeks.
“I’m not sure. Fun could be good, but I’ve never had any,” Yuna says innocently.
“Ah, gotcha,” Norah replies. “Well, there is a first time for everything. This red lipstick will help you flirt. You’ve got gorgeous lips.”
“Thanks,” Yuna says to her.
With her make up done, I move over to the bed and lay the three black dresses across it.
“You guys are all wearing the same dress?” Norah asks wide-eyed. “You girls really don’t get out much.”
She doesn’t say it in a mean way. It’s just a fact.
“I’ll go to my room and pick out some options,” she offers, and turns on her heel before any of us have a chance to protest.
