Chapter 119

• The Gala
• Mandy’s POV
• Mel and I shopped for a dress for hours. I finally decided on a teal mermaid gown that hugged all of my curves. It was strapless that had a sweet heart neckline. It looked gorgeous on me. After we both got everything, we needed from the mall, we went to my house to get ready. The hair stylist and make-up artist showed up about twenty minutes after we got home. I went with a half up do braid with long wavy curls. By the time 8:00 pm rolled around we were ready to make an appearance.
