Chapter Eight: Prom shopping date

It was Monday after school. Phil was pacing the room.

What to do, what to do? I have to go back on Sunday, and I still need to tell her the truth. I don't know if I can, it would make her cry. I guess I just have to spend as much time with her now, because when I go back, she'll be dead.

The phone rang numerous times, but he didn't feel like answering it.

" The phone's ringing, anyone gonna get that?"

Nobody answered and Phil took that as a sign that he had to answer the phone.

" Fine, I'll answer it. You know you should pay me as your telephone operator, since that's all I have to do right now."

Phil hoped it wasn't Keely on the phone. He didn't know if he could face her it would make him mad. He couldn't explain it, but he wasn't mad at her he was more mad at himself for starting to like her, no more than like her, love her.

" Hello?"

"Phil? Hey it's me, listen do you want to go with me to the mall today? I need you to help me with something."

" You need me to help you pick out your prom dress?"

" No, I need you to stay around and make sure I don't spend the $300 my mom gave me for my prom dress, shoes, and purse."

" How can you buy all that without spending it?"

" No! I meant make sure I don't spend my money on anything other than that, okay? My mom would kill me."

"Okay, so I'll meet you there around what time?"

"Uhhh..actually I'm already here."

"Great, I'll meet you at the front of the mall in fifteen minutes."

"Okay, bye."

"Bye."

Phil arrived just when Keely's watch hit fifteen minutes later.

" Hey, come on I saw all these dresses at this place upstairs."

"Okay, what floor is it on?"

" The second floor."

" That's not the top floor, Keely that's the middle floor!"

"Oh, big deal! The third and second floor are both the top floors!"

"NO! The second...why are we even talking about this? Let's just go find your dress."

They arrived at the store, and Phil felt a little weird, because he was the only guy there, besides this guy at the cash register.

Keely zoomed in an out in under three seconds.

Wow, she sure picks out a dress fast.

Actually she picked out five dresses. One was green with long sleeves, another one blue with a white sash and ribbons on the side, one that was black and pink, and had spaghetti straps on it, A pink one similar to the blue one, and the last one was a light blue and white dress, that had a long flowing skirt, and flowers around the bottom.

"Okay, I'm gonna try on them on. Sit in that chair while I try them on." She pointed to an arm chair near the dressing room.

Ten minutes later

"Okay, how do this green one look?"

"The truth? Well it kinda looks awful."

"Yeah, I know I just picked this out for fun." Keely laughed at herself for doing that and returned to the dressing room.

Phil picked up a magazine and started to read it.

Mean while in the Dressing room

Keely was in the dressing room, and had tried out every dress except for the light blue and white one. Keely didn't like how the other's looked. They just didn't feel right. And also because they were $200, so that idea was just squashed right there. Only this dress was the one she liked and she was in luck. It was only $120, (not including tax).

It took her some time to get it on, but she managed to get it on without tearing or breaking something. Keely looked up in the mirror, and hoped this was the right one. It was the right one. Keely had curled her hair that day, and everything the curled hair, and the dress went together.

"Maybe I should wear it in a different way for prom though."

Keely smiled, and couldn't wait to show Phil how she looked in the dress she picked out...

Outside the dressing room...

Phil was already bored with this magazine, basically because he's hard about this kind of thing over and over again.

"Okay Phil, this is the dress I want to buy."

Phil looked up, and dropped his magazine. He couldn't help but stare. She was pretty before, but now she was prettier.

Keely noticed he didn't answer, and waved her hand in front of his face.

"Phil? Phil!"

"Huh? What? Oh yeah, that's a really pretty dress you should buy it."

Keely smiled at hm, and Phil looked at her in a "why-are-you-smiling-like-that-at-me-" kind of way.

"Phil...you don't know how happy I am about this Saturday."

She sat down next to him and grabbed his hand. Phil didn't notice because one lady was asking them a question.

" Are you still using that dressing room?"

Keely answered her. "Yeah, I'll be right there."

They looked down and noticed they were holding hands. Keely smiled, and Phil turned red (slightly though). They let go faster than half a second and Keely turned to go.

" Well..I guess I better go change, and pay for this."

"Okay."

an hour later

After Keely picked out the dress, everything else was picked out faster. She already had the shoes, and the purse.

Phil drove them home, and didn't talk until they were at her front door.

" Okay, so I'll see you tomorrow at school?"

"Okay."

Phil walked away, but stopped.

" Keel, listen do you want to go to that theme park 4o minutes away after school."

"No, I can't, but how about we go to this place near the park? They are having a show done there, and I want to see it."

"Okay, so tomorrow after school at around 4:00Pm?"

"Okay, see you then"

"Bye."

Keely walked into her house, and watched him leave. She felt this was going to be the best week ever, and so what if Phil didn't tell her his secret? He told her, he would tell her after Prom.

Or would he?
