Chapter 8 ~ House of Agendas
"What is on the agenda for today?" Trudy asked. "We're going dress shopping." The girls announced. "Alfie and I are going on a picnic." Amber said, attempting to pretend that not shopping with the other girls didn't bother her one bit. "Training." Mick said, with a gleam in his eye. "Meeting Mum in town. We're going to go see my father." Jerome said. Trudy nodded. "Don't forget to sign out." "We're shooting hoops." Ryan smirked. "We meaning?" Trudy asked. "Me, Fabian, Mike, and Jay." "Good luck getting Fabian to play." Trudy laughed. The girls were at the mall trying on dresses. Nina ended up in a black dress with a printed high-low hem. Patricia's was a one-shoulder sheer matter jersey wrap dress, in teal. Mara wore a strapless black and silver two-tone sequin gown. Joy's was an aquamarine one-shoulder taffeta ball gown with a pick up skirt. Ashley had a belted watercolour chiffon gown with a high-low hem. Ariana's was a bright orange beaded sequin-trim one-shoulder ballgown. Cori's was a cream ruffled crinkle knit halter dress. Jade ended up with a strapless empire satin and sequin mesh gown. After buying their shoes, handbags, jewelery, etc., the girls decided to eat some lunch. At the restaurant, Jade was the only one not eating. Nina had a cheeseburger, Patricia and Joy shared nachos, Mara had a chicken quesidilla, Ashley had chicken fingers and fries, Ariana enjoyed her pizza. Cori had a hotdog. "We need to go to the tuxedo store." Jade said suddenly. "Why?" Patricia asked. "You don't honestly think your dates will have ties to match your dresses, do you?" Jade smiled. "I'm not bringing a date." Patricia said smuggly. "Oh please, Patricia, I KNOW you and Jay like each other." "We do not!" Patricia shouted. "You talk in your sleep, did you know that?" Jade asked.
