Annelise allowed Katherine to grasp her hand, a sort of confirmation that everything was fine and that she didn't need to be worried or looking into something that wasn't there. But everything was not fine - since when had Annelise ever been wrong about something like this? She obviously did need to be concerned and there was something there - even if Katherine wanted to remain adamant that there wasn't. Annelise felt even a little offended that one of her best friends - someone who has known her for a long time - believed that they could lie to her about something that was obviously affecting them. It made her want to snatch her hand away. It made her want to yell at Katherine - to demand an actual explanation and none of the bullshit she was hearing at the moment. It made her want to slap her friend to the point that Katherine couldn't lie to her anymore.
She didn't do any of that.
"Ok. Fine, I'll pretend that I'm distracted for the night," she told the brunette levelly, playing with the strands of her hair when she released Katherine's hands. Annelise had to fight the urge to pout for being kept out of whatever loop Katherine had created. No matter, though. She would find out whatever the hell it was that was keeping her best friend from being honest with her. "Though, I'll probably need at least one shot before the night is over. I'm kinda over martinis right now." Annelise said the last part on a somewhat lighter note, releasing her hair and getting ready to gather some make-up for Hana. She glanced up at Katherine's face only to see the remnants of...what was that? She couldn't pinpoint the emotion at the moment, mostly because it was rare for it to appear on Katherine's faces and she had to fight to keep the curiosity off of her face. Turning to face the mirror like her friend, Annelise definitely had to give herself an appreciative look. "And I think my mom has more than made up for everything with this dress, don't you think?" She giggled a bit at the thought and before she could tell her mind to stop it, she faintly wondered what Cliff would think of her attire for the evening. She hadn't really seen his reaction to her hair, but would he like the dress? It was different than her typical safe but sexy attire. She had always played up cute really well. It was her staple. Being cute and sweet yet fashionable kept her likable; it offset the underlying bitchiness. Being sexy...that wasn't exactly a domain she had crossed, at least, not in public. Boyfriends and one-night-stands (whenever those occurred) would tell you otherwise. Still, Annelise didn't always feel sexy - not that she had ever told the girls this. And something about being a senior - almost being an adult - did something to her. And she wanted him to notice.
"And as if anyone can get on our level. They'll just be lucky that we even dance with them," she stated haughtily, posing in front of Katherine a little before laughing. "Alright, come on. We better get going. The limo should be downstairs. Go tell Lexi and Kenna that I'll be down with Hana in about one minute." She procured a few basic makeup items and left her wardrobe using one of the doors that led to the hallway. The next door to that was the bedroom Hana was in and after a brief knock, she stepped inside - already feeling rightfully like the queen she was, especially with the added her heels gave her. "Hey, sorry about the wait. Had to get changed. I'm going to do something small on you, nothing too dramatic." She told the brunette and approached her, giving Hana a moment to say no but was aware that she would concede. Annelise smiled a bit as she started applying product to the girl's face and said, "You don't actually need much of anything really, but we're just gonna give you a little pizazz." It only took a few minutes and Hana's face was finished and Annelise smiled, pleased with her work. "Alright, let's go. The girls are waiting."
She didn't do any of that.
