My name is Gabrielle Silva Manzotti, I'm the most popular girl at school, I'm Carlos Manzotti's daughter , he's the owner of a large oil exploration company, he's always traveling, always worried about companies and I've been left out. Whenever I'm irritated that he isn't present at some important event, I go to the mall to spend his money, being honest, I go there almost every day, one because I don't have to do it at home and another because I feel good when I'm shopping. , let's say it's a therapy.      

It's the end of the school year, tomorrow is the senior prom, even though it was sophomore year my friends and I were invited, My boyfriend is captain of the football team.

- Gabrielle?! - Adriano called me. -Are you ready for tomorrow?

-yes, I bought a beautiful dress, it's pink and white, don't forget to come matching and...

-Shut up!-he said kissing me and I relented.

Adriano has been getting a bit rough, I haven't been feeling very good with him, and when I get fed up, I get out of it. I'm going to the dance with him to have fun with my friends tomorrow and then I'm going to dump him.

Luciana called me to find out which shoe she was wearing, as she was in doubt. We talked for hours. The next day I was anxious, this ball is not mine and I'm already so imagine when it's mine, I went downstairs feeling dazzling, even though Adriano hadn't arrived yet, I went down like a princess. Dad came home with his head down.

-Dad?!

-Hi!- he said looking at the cell phone.

-How am I?-I asked turning around.

He didn't even lift his head to look at me.

-You look beautiful Gabrielle as always - he said heading to the office.

-Dad? - I called indignantly, going after him.

-I can't talk now, I have a very important call! To answer it now,—he walked in and closed the door, ignoring me.

I hate it and I want to cry, but I can't smudge my makeup, my mascara is too expensive to waste on someone who doesn't deserve it, and just for insults tomorrow I'll buy a dozen of it. I was hoping to hold back the urge to rip my dress, I just didn't cut it today because I like to wear it, which besides doesn't look good for a popular girl like me to walk around torn apart, so I scream in rage while Adriano doesn't arrive.

-Miss Gabrielle and Mr. Fábio awaits you! – said the maid.   

I grabbed my bag and left, Adriano was holding the car door for me, I put my best smile on my face and gave him a hand. 

- You, you look stunning tonight! – Adriano said, he didn't even look like the same boy he was yesterday.

- Thank you, you look beautiful too.

In the car on the way to the ball, Adriano never took his eyes off my cleavage.

- Adriano, you're making me uncomfortable!

- But they are so beautiful!

- Yeah, but they're mine!

At the ball I meet Luciana and Patrícia my best and most popular friends, they are nice in the sense of having company for the shopping center, they are very artificial, sometimes I wonder if they are my friends
