Kiara:
I don’t need to be told twice to get into the bathtub. I know I’m given ten minutes, but there’s no way I can take a bath in ten minutes, so I take my bath as fast as I can. Then I walk back to the room to see a dress laid out for me.
It’s a deep blue color, with a fitted top and a long, flowing skirt. The dress has no sleeves and a modest neckline.
“Do I really have to wear this?” I ask Ariana, who is standing rigidly by the door.
She nods, and I let out a groan of protest. She glances at her wristwatch and says, “Ma’am, we are two minutes late, and…”
“I get it,” I say, rolling my eyes.
I grab the gown and stride over to the mirror. As I remove my towel, Ariana gasps and quickly shuts her eyes. I ignore her reaction and slip into the gown. It fits perfectly on my upper body,
