"Hey Jessica," I had to plaster the fakest smile on my face in order to even look at her without grimacing, so actually talking to her was horrible.

"Yeah Alice." God she looked excited, I guess news of my party had gone around the school.

"I'm having a party on Saturday and I wanted to know if you wanted to come?" Please say no, please say no, pleeeeeeease.

"Of course, what is the dress code?" Not slutty.

"Semi-formal, wear a dress."

"Okay see you there." I hope not. The bell rang and we were released from school. I ran over to the parking lot because Bella had an obligation that I'm sure she wanted to miss. Like majorly.

"Bella, time to go shopping." She groaned.

"Fine but I won't like it." Although she always likes the clothes I pick out for her. We got in my Bug and immediately I turned on my radio.

"I love this song." I screamed and started to sing along to Leavin' by Jesse McCartney.

"And I hate it," Bella grumbled.

AT THE MALL

"Bella lets go to Charlotte Russe first," She couldn't resist that store, it was her favorite.

"Excuse me, may I help you?" The sales associate came over and asked us.

"Yes we are going to the biggest party of the year and my friend needs a dress."

"I'm sure we can find something. When is this party?"

"On Saturday."

"Oh, you girls are cutting it awfully close don't you think."

"Yeah, but my friend had to save the money for a dress." She lead us over to the dress section. Most of them were not that great, but one stuck out to me. It was pink and had a little crinkle on middle. I loved it.

"Oh I see you looking at this one." She reached next to the pink one and brought out a simple but not so simple black dress. I looked at Bella, and she looked like she really wanted it. It had ruffles starting below the bust.

"Bella you can go try that one on, and I can try this one on." Haha, I will get that dress.

"Okay Alice." She took the dress from the lady and told her she didn't need any more help. We walked over to the dressing room.

"You go in that one and we can race to see who can get changed first, winner gets a prize." I knew I could win, and my prize would be buying the dress for Bella.

"If you want to," she said sounding depressed. That's because she knew I was going to win, and she thought I would make her do something stupid.

Less than a minute later I yelled, "I'm done, and I win." I heard Bella sigh in the dressing room next to mine.

"Alice can you help me unzip this thing." I went in there and she hadn't even removed any of her clothes. I grabbed the dress and unzipped it. Not really that hard, but of course Bella couldn't so she blushed.

"Wow you really are special Bella."

"Thanks, you really helped my self esteem with that one."

"Hey they say anyone will tell you you look good, but only real friends will tell you to lay of the fries."

"Yeah you are anyone to, so are you going to tell me I look good with my fries."

"I can but you have no clothes on and I would have to be gay to say that now. On the other hand, after you put that dress on I can say that and you won't believe me." She blushed again and pulled the dress over her head.

"How do I look?"

"You look good." I said this in a robotic like voice.

"What's up with that?"

"That was me being everyone."

"So be Alice."

"Oh my god Bella you really need to stop wearing sweatshirts to school. You actually have curves."

"Thank you Alice. Now since you won, want do I have to do."

"Actually I want to buy that dress for you."

"No I have to buy this myself."

"I won remember, now take the dress off so I can pay for it." She grumbled but obliged. We walked out of the dressing rooms to the front counter.

"Will that be all for you ladies?"

"Yeah I think so." She rang them up.

"Your total is 52.54. Will that be cash or credit?"

"Credit." I swiped my card and signed my name. "Lets go Bella."

"Finally." She said it in an annoyed way, but I knew she liked the dress.

"That wasn't so bad now was it."

"Can we go home now, I have a Lit. paper I have to write."

The dressing room talk is from actual experience. If you want to see the pictures review and tell me and I will try to find them- I own both dresses.
