☾Silver and Gold

Everything was gold. The huge chandelier dangling from the ceiling refracted light off of clear cut diamonds and flooded the ballroom with a a golden haze.
At the very top of the staircase, a young girl wearing a plastic gold crown on top of her platinum blond hair made her entrance and looked down on everyone. Her glamorously gold dress fluttered around her legs and attracted everyone's attention.
It was Cassie Aster's eighteenth birthday party and she wanted everything to be perfect.
I waited in the wings as she descended the stairs. We met up when she reached the bottom.
"You look amazing!"
"I know, right," she smirked then gave me a once over, "Nice dress."
"Thanks." I was wearing one of her old dresses that she didn't want anymore. It was a plain silver dress with sheer straps and the faintest hint of sparkle. It was much simpler than her sparkling ballgown.
