"Why so nervous?" asked Nico as he gripped my hand protectively.

"Nothing as such. Just the dress ... and tomorrow." I added. Tomorrow was my school reunion. I was going back to school to meet my school mates for a masked dance after 5 years. We were allowed to bring one person to the dance so Nico, my brother tagged along. I parked the car in front of the shop.

We entered the shop Alexandra's dresses.

"Hello, I am Shreya. So what are you both looking for?"she asked us.

"Umm, school reunion, masked dances." replied my brother.

"I guess I have something in mind. Couple?" she questioned.

"Going as a couple, siblings actually." replied Nico. We followed her through the shop until she stopped in front of a huge array of dresses. We three rummaged through the dresses.

Shreya picked up a dress handed it to me. Along with a few of my selection, I went to try them out. I tried my selections off white, cream, off-white, blond, light brown. Whenever I stepped out in front of the mirror I didn't feel like that dress was the one, Shreya also shook her head at every dress.

"Try the one I picked!" She asked. I nodded.

I was frustrated, with only one dress left and a never ending shopping list i was doomed if this wasn't the one. It was blue-ish. In short, it was the type I would never choose. Yet I picked it up and wore it. It fit perfectly that was one. I went outside to see someone staring at the mirror with a golden dress making faces probably having trouble with her dress too.

"If you don't like it, you can always see another one you will find your perfect dress." I encouraged her, walking up to the mirror.

When I looked at my reflection I was stunned. This was the dress it was just perfect.

"Like you found yours!" she said.

"Hmmm." I twirled around to have a good look at myself.

"This is it!" I exclaimed.

"You look pretty!" cried Shreya.

"You are the best Shreya. I would like to take this one. Nico?" I asked her.

"I'll check that. In the mean time why don't you try this black one." Shreya said to the other girl. She made faces.

"She has a really good choice." I vouched. Hesitantly she took the dress and went to try it on.

"Shreya!" she called out.

"Well Shreya is not here wait I'll call her." I replied

"No I can't wait just come in and help me with this zip. Aahh!"

"Okay"

I walked in and helped her out. We both walked to the mirror. We knew we were wearing the dress we were waiting for.

"It looks awesome."

"It sure does!" exclaimed Shreya.

"You can walk out he is waiting right outside." I went out to meet my brother wondering what would he be wearing. He preferred black to any colour he literally has half of his wardrobe in black. It has to be black.

"Wow!" We both said at once.

"Jinx" we said together.

"Jinx again!" Yet again.

"You will never grow old will you!" He taunted me.

"Never. White?! Are you kidding me?" i asked him, it was his least favorite.

"Same goes for you blue?!"

"It's not blue it's teal." said another voice. I turned to see the same girl.

"Hi I'm Annabeth and this is Nico."

"Hi I'm Thalia. Thanks for the help back there."

"That was nothing. Nico I'll go change you go do the same." I said and I went off. Off to buy this awesome dress. 'yay!'

We paid for the purchase and took the dresses and went to buy the masks and the shop for other things. Later my bestie Rachel took me to the salon and dyed my hair

bright RED!

I was looking like a Weasley!
