You look gorgeous. As always.’ Pushing herself from where she was sitting on the bed, Hannah walked across to her friend and scooped up Lucy’s curls, fixing them with a diamante clip. ‘There, perfect.’ Slumping her shoulders, Lucy turned to face her friend, ready to voice what had been on her mind all day, but before she could utter a word, in burst Sophie and Gemma, both wearing elegant knee-length dresses with high-heeled sandals.‘You guys look amazing.’ ‘Thanks.’ Coming to stand next to her, Gemma smiled as she readjusted the shrug she was wearing over her dress. ‘Not half as gorgeous as you, though.’ ‘I wish I’d bought the other dress I tried on, the one with the flowers.’Lucy sighed. ‘This one’s too short, it’s making me look as though I think I’m sixteen again.’ ‘Ha, it does not. It suits you.’ Taking her by the wrists, Gemma grinned as she turned Lucy to face the mirror again.‘Look at yourself, I wish you could see what everyone else does.’ ‘Umm...’ Tucking a loose strand of hair back into place which had escaped the clasp Hannah had put in, Lucy looked at her reflection. It wasn’t really about what she looked like or what she was wearing. No, the truth was, she just didn’t want to go. She couldn’t even remember why she’d agreed to go to the stupid school reunion in the first place. Ha, she did. It had been shortly after Sophie’s split with her ex, Florrie’s dad, and everyone had been desperately trying to pull her out of her slump and back to the normal Sophie. That’s when their old secondary school had first announced the school reunion, and Sophie had admitted it could be fun, so they’d all bought the tickets and signed their souls away. Or that’s what it felt like now. Why would Lucy want to go back there? To the one place which had made her more miserable than anywhere else in her life. ‘Here we go. Time for the Prosecco.’ With a POP Gemma opened the bottle she’d brought round to Lucy’s with her. ‘Yay! I can’t wait for this. Do you think all our old teachers will be there? Ms Richards, our head of year, who always had the bright red lipstick on her teeth?’ Sophie grinned. After pouring the glasses, Gemma passed them around. ‘Thanks.’ Taking a swig, Lucy forced a grin.‘Do you remember how she always made us walk along the left-hand side of the corridor?’ ‘Haha, that’s right and good luck to anyone who disobeyed!’
