-Jade-
I read the invitation and smiled that someone had actually invited me, for once. I ran upstairs just as Elena was walking in the house,
"Why are you so excited?"
I waved the envelope at her before continuing to run upstairs to grab my keys and my wallet. It would be easier if I had gone to any other event, like the Founders Ball or anything like that, but I haven't. So, I raced back downstairs and out of the house before Elena could question anymore. Once I had gotten to my car I swiftly got in and put it in reverse as Elena walked out of the house.
"WAIT!"
Elena waved her hands for me to stop but I continued to pull out and speed down the street. Once I got out of the neighborhood I turned on the radio and sang at the top of my lungs while I drove out of Mystic Falls. Mystic Falls didn't exactly have the best dresses, they were all hot pink and short or just plain... ugly. This was the first real thing that I had been invited to, I wasn't a tag along and I wasn't someone's date. Somebody actually wanted me there, and I was going. Elena wasn't going to stop me this time.

I examined the unfamiliar shop in front of me, before grabbing my bag and my keys. I exited me car and slowly walked up to the door, opening it. The bell rang and the soft clack of my heels were the only noise over the soft radio as everyone turned to look at me.
"What? It's rude to stare."
With that everyone when back to what they were doing. I walked over to the part labeled "DRESSES/SKIRTS" and began to flick through the fabric. I was about to grab a dress when a petite hand grabbed it before me. I looked up and met the blue eyes of a gorgeous blonde.
"You can have it."
I pulled my hand away from the gorgeous black dress.
"Honestly, it'd look better on you." The blonde smiled before putting her hand out, "Rebekah."
I returned the smile and shook her hand, "Jade." She nodded before turning back to the dresses.
"Well, then Jade. Would you be kind enough to help me find a dress?"
I nodded, before running my fingers through the fabric and swiftly pulling out a gorgeous green dress. I held it out to Rebekah,
"Wow, you have nice taste." She mused. "I think this is a start of a new friendship."
"I think it is." I turned and smiled to myself.
"I'm going to go try this on." Rebekah told me before making her way towards the dressing rooms.
