Thanks once again for you reviews I'm trying to update as soon as I can but I have exams to revise for. But anyway here's a new chapter and Kate is off to get her homecoming dress and we will find out who she is going with.
Kate was at home watching TV she didn't have anything to do her father still hadn't come back from work and she was all on her own. She had no homework and nothing to do. She was watching some chat show and all she got was that some guy got his girlfriend pregnant but then cheated on her with her sister. 'Should be a soap opera' Kate thought to herself' just then her phone rang. She got up off the sofa and went over to the kitchen and got her phone off the kitchen counter and sat on one of the kitchen stools answering her phone. It was Shannon and Kate had a slight feeling she knew what it was about
"Hey" Kate answered
"Hey yourself" Shannon's voice came from the other line. "You know how homecoming is only in two days time and well you don't have a dress yet. Me and Claire got ours the other week and so I thought you could come and get your dress"
Kate heard the mention of 'homecoming dress' and she didn't need Shannon to carry on she knew what it was gonna be about. "I don't know Shan, I'm kinda busy at the moment" Kate lied.
"Yeah like what?" Shannon knew her friend was lying
"Erm, I'm getting some homework done"
"That's a lie you were in all my classes so enough of the lying and meet me outside yours in 5 minutes" and with that Shannon hung up.
"Shan…" Kate then realised her friend had hung up on her so she didn't have to listen to Kate moan or argue.
5 minutes later Kate was waiting for Shannon to pull up her car had just gotten fixed and so she was picking Kate up. Shannon pulled up in front of Kate's house and to her surprise Shannon was driving a new car.
"You like?" Shannon asked
"Yeah it's nice" Kate was amazed that Shannon had another new car and this was a 2007 make.
"Well my other car packed up turns out it wasn't just me not changing the oil so daddy got me a new one" She had a huge smile on her face driving her new car "I think he said it was a CLK 200 cabriolet or something the only thing I understood was Mercedes Benz"
Kate laughed at Shannon's little knowledge on cars yet she had so many of them bought her.
"Hop in then" Shannon told Kate. Kate shook her head smiling and got into the car. With that they drove off the mall to find Kate a Homecoming dress.
When they got to the mall they caught up with Claire who was down there with Charlie.
"So Claire I was wondering do you wanna go to homecoming together?" Charlie asked shyly.
As soon as he asked Claire had a huge smile on her face and hugged Charlie "Yeah of course I'd love to go with you"
They had gone down after school just to hang together. They had been holding hands all afternoon walking round and Claire looking in a few shops for some clothes.
Kate and Shannon walked over to the pair of them who was still hugging. Kate coughed to Claire and Charlie to show their presence. Claire smiled looking down her face bright red.
"Hey guys" Claire and Charlie stopped hugging as she greeted her friends. Charlie knew this was his cue to leave them.
"I'll see you later then" Charlie then gave Claire one last hug and a quick kiss and then left the girls to their own devices.
"So what just happened?" Shannon asked
Claire was still very red "Well…Charlie just asked me to homecoming" Claire blurted out to her friends
Shannon squealed at this news and Kate just smiled at her friend replying "That's great Claire"
After the news of Claire's date to the homecoming they were on a mission to find Kate her perfect homecoming dress. They had already been in 3 shops and anything they tried to get Kate to try on she wouldn't.
They finally found a small shop which was new and none of the girls had been in yet. Both Shannon and Claire had to drag Kate in because she didn't want to carry on looking for a dress. She gave up after the first shop they had exited. They were looking round the shop looking for a dress that Kate could wear to the homecoming dress. Shannon hoped that she wouldn't have this trouble with Kate when it was time to get their prom dresses but that was still a while away.
All three girls had separated looking round the shop for Kate's dress but so far Claire was having no look if she was looking for her dress she would have found over 20 but she was looking for Kate who wasn't as easy to shop for as herself or Shannon. Shannon was also slowly giving up they had both shown Kate some dresses they like but they weren't exactly what Kate liked or would wear.
Kate was looking through the shop at the various dresses they had to offer. Kate didn't really like most of them and she wasn't the kind for dresses she was looking through the various rails when she saw a black dress on the rails on its own. This dress had caught her eye it was simple but elegant not too fancy like most of the other dresses. Her friends had realised that Kate had homed in on that dress and they came over to see what had caught Kate's eye.
"That's really nice" Claire commented looking at the dress.
"Yeah, well are you gonna try it on?" Shannon asked also hinting for Kate to try the dress it on.
Kate picked the dress up from the rail and walked over to the changing rooms. After 5 minutes after changing into the dress she walked out bare foot showing her friends her dress. Her friends were speechless the dress fitted her perfectly it went down to her feet, it had a low front but Kate didn't seem to mind and she thought it was the perfect dress.
"You're buying that dress" Shannon was amazed at how the dress suited Kate so much.
Kate didn't have to disagree or argue because for once when it came to dresses she agreed with her friend and when they left the shop they went on the hunt for the perfect pair of shoes to go with it which happened to be Kate's idea which came to a shock to her friends.
They had been shopping down the mall for nearly 2 hours and when Kate got home her dad was back she waved goodbye to her friends and headed upstairs to drop her dress off. When she came back downstairs her father greeted her.
"Hey one of your friends left you a message. Jack"
Kate sighed didn't he give it she had started to believe that she didn't have feelings for him or was it just her jealousy over him and Ana she wasn't sure but she wasn't in the mood for speaking to him right now. "Ok" she simply stated
"Well don't you want to ring him back?" her father asked
Kate just shook her head and settled down on the sofa flipping through the channels. There was nothing on the TV but Kate didn't want to talk to Jack so she settled on a channel not paying much attention to what was going on. Her father was cooking something in the kitchen she could smell and it smelled good she thought to herself.
After 15 minutes of cooking Kate noticed it being served on two plates and realised this was her cue to come and get her dinner. She sat on the counter stool and noticed her dad had cooked her and him a fajita each. They both started to tuck into their fajitas Kate had a vegetable one while her father had a chicken he always tried to convince her to eat a chicken one and stop being a vegetarian but it was always no use.
"You sure you don't want some of my delicious chicken fajita" he tried to persuade Kate but all she did was smile and shake her head with her mouth full.
It didn't take her long to eat hers it was one of her favourite foods and so she didn't waste anytime eating it. After both her and her father had finished their dinner there was a knock at the door. Kate and Sam shared looks and he asked
"Expecting anyone" To reply Kate just shook her head and headed for the door.
She opened the door to see Sawyer standing there. 'What did he want now?' she thought to herself he just gave her a friendly smile showing his dimples.
"What Sawyer?" Kate asked in a serious tone
"Hell ain't you in a nice mood" He grinned
"What do you want?" She repeated
"Just passin in the neighbourhood thought you might wanna…" Before finishing his sentence he raised his brows as if to suggest something.
"Sawyer" She moaned
"Ok Sass chill I wanted to know whether you wanted to go out for a bit and just hang"
Kate was silent she didn't know how to answer she was bored stiff at the moment but she didn't want to be spending her night with Sawyer either. Before her mind had chance to think on an answer "Ok" she replied.
"Ok" He repeated her words
She put her denim jacket over her white t-shirt and looked back at her father who was watching everything "I'm just going out for a bit be back later" Sam just nodded and she shut the door behind her.
They were walking down the street silently neither wanting to be the first to say something. Whatever Sawyer tried to do he couldn't stop thinking about this girl. He had been with other girls he couldn't disagree but there was something different about this girl which made her stand out and he was intrigued by her.
After 15 minutes of silent walking they came to the local park and both headed down towards it. Kate sat on one of the swings and Sawyer followed suit.
"So…" Sawyer started simply
"So…" She replied not knowing what exactly to say to him
"So you going to homecoming on Friday?" He asked. Kate looked at him she had brought the outfit for it but still wasn't sure whether she wanted to go or not when she didn't even have anyone to go with.
"Might, you?" She asked probably already knowing his answer he wasn't the dance kind of person.
He laughed "Could you really see me as the dancing kind of person" he joked. Kate couldn't help but smile he always had a way of making her smile she didn't know how he managed to do it but he did.
"What's so funny?" He asked
Kate was still smiling "Just the thought of you trying to dance I'm guessing you've got two left feet" She joked
Sawyer pretended to act shocked he moaned a bit "What you gotta be kiddin' me you think I have two left feet?" Kate couldn't help but laugh and nodded at him.
Kate's phone then started to beep it was signalling there was a text message it had completely ruined their moment. At first she didn't answer it
"You gonna see who want's ya freckles?" he asked
Kate then snapped out of it and got her phone out she flipped it open and Shannon had text her. She read the text
'Hey was wonderin cause homecomin is in 2 days whether we order the limo n me n u go wit libby n da 3 of us can hang cause claire's goin wit Charlie txt bk Shan xx'
Kate read the message and she felt a relief that either she or Libby had a date so she wouldn't be the only one without a date. She quickly text her back
'yh kk, sounds gd'
After Kate text her back Sawyer looked curious he had wanted to know who had text her and what it was about. She could tell this by the expression on his face
"Shannon" she explained
"Wat Stick's want?" He asked
Kate thought for a moment 'sticks' she didn't figure that nickname out but she didn't mind that was who Sawyer was.
"She wanted to know about the arrangements for homecoming anyway I need to get going I'll see you tomorrow at school" With that she left and made her way back home.
