Five hours later, Eliza was stepping out of her family carrige towards the ballroom, wearing her beautiful purple dress. Catalina had to leave soon after picking out her dress. Eliza's mother insisted on her going through this extavigant preperation for the ball. She hoped that she would see her friends soon. She didn't want to face the many eyes of gossiping people on her own. It was a tough world out there for girls in their coming out year! If you got to many propasals, it was as scandalous as not getting any at all, and it could be very intimidating.

Catalina saw Eliza step out her the carriage and she called to her," Eliza, over here." She said. She looked stunning in her green dress.

"Ok sounds good," Catalina agreeded with her friend. They walked inside together laughing. "Is Will going to be here tonight?" she asked as they took up a spot along the wall in a plain view of the dancing area.

They walked into the ball and were instantly surrounded by the lavish surroundings of the beautiful hall. There was a mix of different sights and sounds awating them inside. Girls dressed glamoursly in fine gowns spun around the hall with there handsome male partners. It would have been like a fairy tale come true if it weren't for the various women wispering to each other about what the different women wore and who they were dancing with. One of the most dangerous world's on earth, was the world of English gossip, and everyone new it, too. The season was almost over, which hightened to this fact. "Tonight should be interesting, if nothing else." Eliza wispered to her friend.

Catalina nodded and replied in a hushed voice,"What do you bet a lot of it is about us, and not having suitors yet?"

"Oh well," Catalina replied. She stood up a little straighter and carried herself, like a person who knew they were being talked about. "I intend to be sore from dancing tomorrow." Catalina said thinking that tonight she was going to have fun.

"I agree." Eliza said with a smile. But before she could even take a look around to spy any fine looking gentleman, she heard her mother call behind her back. "Elizabeth, dear, I'd like you and Catalina to meet these fine young gentleman." she sied and looked over at her friend with a reproachful glance before turning around. Her mother was norturious for very finding very unatractive dull men for her to meet. The only reason she wanted them to meet was because he was probably well indouwed with money. When she turned around, however, she saw the most handsome man she had ever seen in her life. He had blond hair that brightened his dazling blue eyes. "...Hi." Her manner's had excaped her at the moment it seemed.

Jerry watched Elize through his blue eyes. A very pretty girl indeed. And then there was the money. That never hurt anything. He was acting on his most gentlemanly behavior. "Good day," he said grasping her hand and kissing the back of it. Catalina stared at the two men. Yes they were handesome but they didn't seem like her type. She stayed silent not saying anything.

Chester looked on at the obviously two completly different girls, and smiled inwardly. He had brown well-kept hair and deep brown eyes, giving him an almost rustic look. "Elizabeth! Were are your manners?" Eliza's mother complained. "Oh, i'm sorry. My name is Eliza and this is my very good friend Catalina." she then swept them her best curtsy, which was pretty good considering she usually fell on her butt in the attempt to do it. In fact, many of the girl's at her school had called her Miss Cluts.
