“Yup lets go.”
~•~
“How about this?” I hold up a purple beaded dress.
“Ew no!” Katy screeches as she scans through the dress rack.
“Katy choose something. We’ve been looking for an hour!” Jackson wines as he lays down on the cute waiting chairs.
Katy’s Winter formal is coming up and she insisted on getting a dress today. We’ve been in three different dress stores, this is the last one. After the first store Jackson been complaining about the whole hour we’ve spent looking.
“How about this?” I hold up a long sweetheart neckline gold dress, the top is jeweled and sparkles.
She takes the dress from my hand and examines its sheer fabric. I can tell she’s really thinking about this one.
“I’ll try it on.” She smiles.
“Finally!”
We follow her to the change my rooms, she goes in the stall while Jackson and I wait outside.
“So he marked you?” Jackson asks.
“What, how did you know?” I’ve been super careful to hide it for the past week.
“When he picked you up your hair uncovered it.” He chuckled. Darn.
Suddenly Katy swings the door open and she’s wearing the gold dress, she has a disappointed face on. How can she not like this one! She looks absolutely gorgeous!
“Anna-” She sadly mumbles. “I love it!” She surprises Jackson and me.
“Thank goddess!” Jackson yells. “Thank you!”
Katy and I laugh at how ridiculous Jackson is acting then Katy goes back into the changing room and pulls out a beautiful red silky dress, it has a jewel outline in the top. “I wanted to see you try it on.” She bubbles.
“Ha, no.”
“Please, you’re going to need a dress anyways,” She protests.
“No.”
“Anna please, I picked it out for you!” She cries out and the whole store turns to us.
“Anna, just put on the dress and we can go.” Jackson agrees with Katy.
“Fine,” I mutter and grab the dress from Katy’s hands. I trudge into the changing stall and strip off my clothes, I unzip the dress and slip it on. “Wow,” I mumble as I look in the mirror, I actually look good. It hugs my curves nicely and brightens up my eyes.
“Let me see!” Katy calls from outside the stall.
I open the door and Katy gasps, “It’s perfect!”
“What do I need a dress for anyways?”
“Your Luna welcoming party.” Katy spills. “Oops, I wasn’t supposed to tell you.”
I roll my eyes at her and re-enter the changing room so I can get the dress, that girl can’t keep a secret. But I can’t help but wonder about this welcoming party. As I pull my shirt back on my phone buzzes in my bag, I take it out and read the text:
From: unknown
You look gorgeous in red darling.
I freak and drop my phone on the wood floor in the stall, it lands with a thud, making a loud noise.
“You okay?” Jackson asks as they wait for me.
“Yeah, I’m fine.”
I grab my phone off the floor and delete the message. The last time I got a message like this was the Raf one. I quickly finish changing and I rush out of the changing area.
“Someone’s in a hurry,” Katy mutters as they catch up to me at the purchase counter. I place the dress on the counter as the lady rings it up. I grab my wallet out of my bag and take out my debit card but I’m too late, Jackson has already swiped Tyler’s card.
I glare up at him and cross my arms, again really?
“Tyler told me to.” He defends himself.
I groan and grab my dress from the lady, it’s in a nice box, which is inside a bag.
“Come on let’s go home.”
