Here's chapter four!
-.-.-
"Worser?" Adena asked disbelievingly.
"Uh, yes worser," Tanis said arranging her Scrabble pieces.
"That is not a word!"
"Yes it is!"
"Use it in a sentence."
"Fine. 'This is worser than that,'" Tanis retorted, folding her arms across her chest.
"That's a crappy sentence."
"It's still a word!"
"No, it isn't!"
"Yes it is! It's redundant."
"Whatever," Adena said, spelling her next word.
"You want me to get a dictionary?"
"Yes, actually."
Tanis picked herself up off the floor. "Fine, I will-"
"Hey, Adena? Tanis?" Cody said through the door, after knocking. Tanis walked over to the door and opened it.
"Hey Co- What's that?" she asked, pointing at the white box in Cody's hand.
"I…I just wanted a second opinion," she said, holding the box out awkwardly in front of her.
Across the room, Adena gasped. "Clothes!" She ran to the door, snatched the box from Cody's hands and returned to her bed with it. She practically ripped the top off and pulled out Cody's dress. Cody stepped inside the room and closed the door behind her.
"Oh, my gosh, Cody. Where'd you get this?"
"Remy gave it to me."
"Pfft, lucky," Tanis said, taking the dress from Adena. She stood in front of the mirror and held it against herself. "I wish I had a cousin who bought me stuff."
"What's it for?" Adena asked Cody.
"Oh…just a thing I'm doing."
"Is it a date?" Tanis said slyly.
"Erm…maybe?"
Adena squealed, "Ooooh! Who with?"
"Let me guess," Tanis laughed, "Squib?"
"It's not a date…per say. We're just having dinner and watching a movie."
Tanis sighed dramatically, "That's a date, Cody. Ah…true love is so sweet."
Cody snorted, "Love? Please. Squib and I are friends. Can't friends just have dinner?"
"Alone," Adena added.
"At night," Tanis said.
"Where no one's there to watch you…as he slides his hand around you, pulls you close…leans in closer and closer-"
"Oh, shut up," Cody said, "It's not like that." She picked up a pillow from Adena's bed and tossed it at her face.
Adena pulled the pillow away and said, "Come on, try it on for us!"
Well…" Cody hesitated, "Okay, I guess."
-.-.-
"Okay…ready?"
"Ready as we'll ever be!" Adena said excitedly.
Very slowly, Cody opened the door and emerged wearing her green dress. It fit her perfectly. The dress hugged her figure in all the right places and came just below her knees.
"Wow…" Tanis said.
"Wow is right," Adena chimed, "I never noticed how…"
"How what…?" Cody asked insecurely.
"You just look amazing," Adena replied. "But…there's still something-"
"Missing. You're right," Tanis said.
"I think it's-" Adena started
"The hair," Tanis finished her sentence for her.
"Exactly. Come here, Cody…"
"Ahh, really," Cody said, holding her arms up, "I'm fine."
"Please?" Adena persisted, "We want to help, Cody. Besides, it's either this or six more hours of Scrabble!"
Cody sighed, "Clearly I'm not going to win this argument, am I?"
