No wonder they left so quickly, they actually took the money in her safe. She cursed her uncle hundred times in her mind while hitting her head in frustration

How could she gather six thousand pounds in such a short period of time not to talk about her grandmother medication bills.

She was still in her thought when her phone rang

"Hello..." she respond in a tired tone

"Anna where are you?...,you are suppose to be at the event center today and apply for the competition, I have being waiting for you for hours now".

" its almost time for the event" Luna said from the other end

"I don't think I will be able to make... it and I don't even have money for the registration"

Anna replied tiredly rubbing the back of her neck

"Is everything okay with you?, Luna asked worriedly after hearing the tone of Anna voice.

" I'm okay" Anna lied,

"you don't have to worry about that.., I will pay for your registration" Luna continued

"Really..." Anna cover her mouth in surprise

"Yeah come quickly, ..they are about to start" Luna chulcked,

"okay I will" Anna replied

• Call ended*

Anna walked lazily to her closet to pick an outfit but there was nothing beautiful to pick from she pick a t-shirt from her cloth rack and trouser and wore them.

she tie, her hair in ponytail, she look at the mirror with a calm smile befit taking her black jean purse and left room .

She walk into her grandma's room and found her already sleeping she place a blanket on her and kissed her forehead.

She walk out of the house after ensuring the door was properly locked to avoid intruders from coming in

• At the event centre

After few minutes of waiting down the road she finally got to the event center, she saw her friend Luna walking hurriedly to her

"Anna!"

Luna called giving Anna tight hug. Anna returned the hug happily. It has been weeks since she saw Luna and she look even more prettier than the last time they saw each other

Both have them have been so busy with their business that they hardly had time to hangout together.

"Oh my goodness, you've lost weight" Luna said worriedly, her hands on Anna's cheek

"It's just stress nothing else" Anna chuckled, touching Luna nose

"How is your grandma doing?" Luna questioned

"She is fine, she always talk about you"

Anna responded staring at the vicinity

"I'm glad she is alright, yeah come on let's go",

" they are about to start let's an amazing for you to wear",

she dragged Anna to the backstage

Anna follow suit and was surprise to see a lot of people at the event which made her a little nervous,

"I don't think I can em em" she stutter

"Come on don't be nervous, you see the event was hosted by the smith family from E.city" Luna replied, her eyes beaming with excitement

"The smith family" Anna stood in shock

Elsa nodded happily

"come on let meet the manager to help find us an outfit to put on" Luna continued

Anna followed Luna dumbstruck.

"The Smith family, is it the same with....Anna ask herself, Luna was to excited to care about what Anna was saying as few outfit was given to them by the manager to try on.

"Luna I can't do this, I am not in for this" Anna said

"come on girl you have to, if you win it will be a good one for both of us" ,

"If I win it will also be the same besides think about the money that comes with winning it can help a lot and don't forget I paid for your registration you can't just waste that money" Luna said trying to convince Anna

"Okay then let me go and change" Anna let out a sigh half convinced.

"Ahhh...",

a scream was heard from the ladies room, don't you have eyes, can't you see where you are going

"How dare step your foot on my dress" ,

the girl shouted pointing her fingers at the worker

"I am so sorry ma, I can help you fix it", the worker said only to receive a hard slap on her face causing the others to watch

"How can a lowlife like you fix this dress,.... do you know who I am"

she questioned dragging the workers hair few person's try to intervene including Anna to stop her from harassing the worker any further

"Ivy....",

a slim tender good looking girl called from a distance, distracting the others with her looks , her hair was dark and curly , she sways at every step she take, the contestants couldn't but feel amazed at the same time a little envy

"Oh my goodness what happened to your dress, ....why is it stained"

"Who did this" the pretty girl asked shocked

"Is it not this good for nothing trash here" ivy said as she tremble in anger.

"I'm so sorry miss" the worker stood still looking timid
