Sorry such a long time! I promise it'll be worth it!

"Oh my gosh, Bella, this will look so good on you." Alice shoved a purple frilly dress at me.
"Ugh." I said, and walked back into the dressing room for the tenth time. I put it on, and it wasn't even worth walking out of the dressing room to show them.
"Nope. Not it." I yelled to them.
"Why don't we just go somewhere else? Since we're obviously not finding anything." Rose almost whined.
Neither of them had found anything either, in this huge department store.
"Fine. We'll go to that boutique around the corner." Alice huffed.
I changed back into my clothes, and set the ten dresses on the rack with the rest of rejects.
We walked down the street, into the boutique that Alice absolutely adores. She gets practically her whole wardrobe from this shop.
"Alice!" The lady behind the counter greeted us.
"Diane! How are you?" Alice gave the lady named Diane a kiss on both cheeks.
"Very good. How are you?" Diane grinned.
"Great. This is Bella and Rose." She gestured to each of us.
"It's nice to meet you. What brings you ladies in here today?"
"We are looking for some homecoming dresses."
"Perfect. We just got a new stock of dresses that are absolutely to die for." She started to walk over to a rack full of different colored dresses. Right off the bat, I noticed a deep blue dress. I pulled it off the rack, and held it up to examine it. It was strapless and had a beaded bodice until about right under my chest area. Once the beading stopped, it flowed until about mid-thigh. It was gorgeous.
"I think I'm going to try this one on." I said to them, as they continued to rummage through the rack. I tried it on and it looked amazing.
"Bella? Are you going to come out and show us?" Alice yelled to me. I walked out, and pretended to be a model.
"Oh my gosh. That's the one." Alice grinned at me.
"Yeah, Bells, it looks awesome. Edward is going to die." Rose gasped.
"You really think so?" I smiled slightly.
"Of course. The guy practically dies when he sees you at school." Alice said.
"Okay, I'll get it." I said, and went back into the dressing room. "Did you guys find anything yet?" I called to them, still behind the curtain.
"We're looking. I think I have a few options." Alice said.
I walked out of the dressing room, as soon as my clothes were back on, and went to the counter to get my dress checked out. I had gotten a few twenties from Charlie to buy the dress. It wasn't that expensive, and it was definitely worth dipping into my savings.
Once I paid for it, I went to sit down in the chairs in front of the dressing rooms, waiting for them to come out.
It took a few tries, but eventually they each found the perfect dress. Rose's was a tight red dress, with thin spaghetti straps, that went to mid thigh. And Alice's was a pink, one shoulder dress, that was tight at the waistline like mine and flowed to mid-thigh. They both looked gorgeous in their dresses.
We walked back to Rose's car, once they paid for their dresses.
"This night is going to be perfect!" Alice squealed, as she buckled in the front seat.
"Yeah, other then the fact that we have to walk out in front of the whole school on the football field." I groaned.
"Oh, come on Bella. It'll be for like five minutes tops." Rose said, and sped off toward town.
"Still! Knowing me, I'll probably trip and fall flat on my face." I sighed, thinking of more possibilities.
"Yeah, probably." Alice laughed. "Oh, and by the way, I have some heels I can let you borrow that will match your dress perfectly."
"Oh yeah, I forgot. Heels." I groaned. Of course, I had to be getting my cast off this week, so I have to wear those stupid death traps.
"I'll give them to you today, and you can break them in for the next week. Since you haven't worn a shoe on that one foot."
"Fine." I crossed my arms, and slid down in my seat.
"They're only four inch heals."
"Alice, with that math, I'll be six foot two." I argued. To be an outside hitter you had to be pretty tall.
"Perfect height for Edward." Rose put in.
"Speaking of the guys, we have to tell them what color dresses we have, so they can get a matching tie." Alice said, getting really excited.
"That'll be a sight to see. Jasper with a pink tie." I laughed, imagining it.
Today was the day. It was Friday, after school, and I was getting ready at Alice's house for homecoming. Alice was curling my hair, while I was sitting back, relaxing, trying not to think about tonight.
"Bella. Calm down. Your shaking." Alice said, holding onto the curling iron with hair wrapped around it. Even though my hair was already curly, but she insisted.
"Sorry." I mumbled.
"Just breathe in and out, then you'll be fine." She let go of that one piece and continued on with another section.
Rose rushed in, threw her bag down, and began rummaging through it.
"It's nice to see you too." Alice smirked at Rose, who was still not paying attention to Alice.
"I see you're in a hurry." I giggled a little.
"I only have a short amount of time to get ready. This doesn't just happen in an hour." She motioned to her face.
"Oh, I know." I said, and closed my eyes, continued to try and relax.
"What's up with you?" Rose asked. I opened one eye, and saw she was leaned over the counter, holding her eyeliner in her hand, looking at me through the mirror.
"She's nervous." I could just ear Alice rolling her eyes.
"Of course she is. When is she not?" I sighed.
"Shut up guys. I'm not out there like you guys." I said.
"Whatever." Rose scoffed.
"Your hair is done now. Open your eyes." Alice squealed.
I opened one eye, scared of the outcome. My hair was curled, half up half down, and it looked amazing.
"Oh my gosh, Alice! I love it." I grinned, and gave her a huge hug, while I was still sitting down.
"You really like it?" She smiled back.
"Of course." I said. "Now it's time to do your own hair." I told her.
I got up from the chair, and pulled out my make up bag. I don't own nearly as much make up as Rose or Alice. I just go for a more natural look. I put a little foundation on, I had to get the lightest tone, since I'm so pale. I put some eyeliner on my top lid, and added a bunch of eyeliner.
I finished my makeup and looked up at the girls. They were already ready.
"Holy shit, guys. Get ready fast enough?"
They laughed and pulled me into Alice's bedroom.
The door knocked, as soon as we grabbed our dresses from the garment bags.
"Who is it?" Alice yelled.
"It's me. Can I come in?" Edward's voice yelled through the door.
"No way, mister. We already got ready and there is no way in hell you get to see Bella before tonight." Alice yelled back.
"Alice!" Edward whined.
"Nope." Alice locked her door.
"I'll see you tonight, B." He said finally after a few moments.
"I'll be the one in blue." I laughed a little.
It was time.
Halftime of the football game, and we were about to step on the field, to meet our men.
"Breathe, Bella."
I took a deep breath, and took the first step toward many in the spotlight.
