The long awaited CHAPTER FIVE!
She pulled the shimmering material off the hook and peered closer at the green color. It was fabulous! The color reminded her of her friend's dazzling emerald eyes.
"Hitomi! I found the best dress ever!" Yukari called over her shoulder to her friend who's head was burrowed in a rack of clothing.
Hitomi turned to where Yukari was standing with her back towards her. She brushed her honey bronze hair back into some sort of order before walking over to Yukari. She peered over her friend's shoulder and her eyes widened. There in her friend's hand's was the most beautiful dress she had ever seen. The color was a shade lighter than that of the emerald she wore on her finger. Two tiny strands of gold were the shoulder straps that combined in the back to hold the dress up. The back dipped dangerously low covering only the essentials.
"Wow, Kari were in the world did you find that? It's gorgeous!"
"Yeah and it will look great on you!" Yuraki thrust the dress into her friend's hand. "Now try it on!"
"But Kari, it's beautiful and you found it first, it's only fair that you get to try it on." Hitomi tried pushing the dress back into the red head's hands.
"Nope, I found my own dress already." She said with a smile on her full lips and held up a red silk dress with a drastic plunging neck line.
"You can't be serious! That's a little umm...revealing, don't ya think." Hitomi teased her friend.
"That's ok I'm a bit of a whore aren't I? Besides Dilandua will love it, red is his favorite color." With a grin she stroked her scarlet hair.
Hitomi rolled her eyes and grabbed Yukari's hand and dragged her to the fitting room. She pushed her friend into a room, shut the curtain and walked away to her own with Yukari's protesting behind her.
"You know you could have just asked, instead of shoving!"
"We need to hurry and you were dollygagging." Hitomi said with a smirk. She had been the one taking up time just lost in thought. Her mind had been on the upcoming dance, well more like on the guy who had asked her to the dance.
She had been sitting on the window seat of her guidance counselor's office. Since she had gotten into the "fight", she was required to meet with the shaggy haired hippie, Mr. Love Yourself and Those Around You. Hitomi giggled to herself just remembering the last piece of advise her counselor had told her. "Remember, Hitomi you got to stay FOCUSED! F is for the fire that must burn within you! O is for the opponents that will try to deter you! C is for your creative mind! Hitomi tried to not laugh in his face, she felt as if she were reading a manual to Dungeons and Dragons.
"What's so funny?"
Jolted out of her daydream, Hitomi lifted her head towards the intruder of her thoughts. Her eyes were greeted with the image of Van standing in the door way. Both his hands were juggling a pile of folders and she could barely see his face.
"Do you need help with those?" Hitomi lifted herself from her comfortable position and reached for the top half of the stack. She pulled it into her hand and was presented with his red orbs staring straight into hers.
"You didn't let me answer." He smiled.
"Huh?" She sounded, looking at him stupidly.
"I didn't want you to take the papers they're TOP SECRET." He spoke seriously.
Hitomi glanced down at the papers and read the lines out loud "Survey: Shorts or Pants." Looking back up she rolled her eyes when she heard him laugh heard him laugh.
"Bad joke right?"
"I've heard worse." Hitomi smiled.
"Hitomi?"
"Yea" She was still smiling despite his now serious tone.
"I want to take you out sometime." He stated simply
She was a bit taken aback by the statement, she was expecting another cheesy joke not a date. But this is what she had wanted, well not exactly, she had wanted a date to the dance, but this was still good. Well, she would just have to make it happen.
"Yea you can take me out...to the dance next week."
Van let out a laugh, and grabbed her cheeks and squeezed them causing her lips to pucker up. "That was going to be my next question."
"VAN!" came a shout from Mrs. Derwonski in the front office. "I have more deliveries for you!"
"Then it's settled then, your my date." Hitomi stated after prying his hand from her cheek. "Now get going before Godzilla comes to claim you."
"Godzilla?" Van asked raising an eyebrow.
Hitomi laughed. "I keep forgetting your kinda new here and haven't heard all of the stories yet, but I'll brief you later myself."
Hitomi's thoughts were cut there by a loud yelp coming from Yukari's dressing room.
"You ready"" Hitomi shouted out to her friend and pushed open her curtain. All she received for an answer was a grumpy sound, then something about a zipper. She signed and walked barefoot to where Yukari was struggling to zip up the dress and helped her with the simple task.
"So how do I..." Yukari stopped short when she turned around to face her friend. Hitomi looked absolutely beautiful! The dress made her eyes even greener if that was possible and her body looked killer.
"Wow Tomi you look great. For someone who doesn't like dresses you sure know how to wear one"
Hitomi smiled and caught a look in the mirror admiring the masterpiece that adorned her body. She laughed and turned her attention to Yukari.
"I don't think anybody will be looking at me once you walk in the room." Mentioning with her hand to the clingy red dress her friend was wearing.
"We look good enough to eat!" Yukari laughed clapping her hands together in a childish manner.
