Emily wants to go all out when getting ready for prom, from the ideal haircut and cosmetics to the ultimate clothing. However, things change when Emily’s hair appointment is canceled by Carla, her problematic stepmother. A surprise limousine shows up at her house just when all appears gone, but who might have planned it?
What occurred to me will be unbelievable to you! This is going to be a crazy ride, so fasten your seatbelt.
I’m Emily, a senior in high school, and I’m seventeen years old. My dad, my stepmother Carla, and her son Mason reside with me. He is eleven years old, and to be honest, we get along just fine, like siblings do.
Carla, though? But that’s a whole other story.
Yes, I don’t particularly like her.
It all began when my mother died seven years ago after becoming very ill. My dad began dating Carla shortly after, and they were married in less than a year.
“Your father doesn’t waste any time, does he?” My aunt made a remark at the wedding. “Anyway, who is Carla? She is nothing in comparison to your mother.
Carla appeared fine at first. She made an effort to be kind and win my favor. However, the passive-aggressive remarks began to accumulate over time. She once had this weird expression on her face as she stared at me, I recall.
“You look too much like your mother, Emily,” she stated. “Looking at you truly hurts me. It makes sense that Mason receives more attention from your father. “Don’t you think he’s closer to Mason now?”
I let out a sigh and did my best not to pay attention to what she had said.
My father? Nothing ever caught his attention. He seemed totally unaware of Carla’s treatment of me, which she cherished. When he wasn’t looking, it was like her hidden weapon, mocking me.
Let’s fast-forward to prom season, anyway. I was dreaming about the ideal night, just like all the other girls. For months, I had been putting money aside from babysitting to purchase this stunning violet outfit.
