Thanks for the reviews :) Sorry for the super short chapter. I'm hitting a writers block

:( I'm probably gonna update again tomorrow. Enjoy!

The rest of the week flew by in a blur and the next thing I knew it was getting colder and it was time to go dress shopping. Even though nobody had asked me yet, Chloe thought Blake was going to. My mom was in a pretty good mood so I managed to get the forms for school signed and permission to go dress shopping with Chloe. There was bad news though. My teacher wanted me to do a really challenging piece for my audition. I had been up all night trying to memorize the notes. When I got to school the next day, it had probably shown on my face because all three of them stared at me for a moment. Then Blake asked Ricky about the game last night.

I turned to Chloe "So my mom said I could go dress shopping with you."

"Awesome." She smiled. "How 'bout Saturday at the mall?"

"That would be great." I replied. Now walking into the mall I wondered what Blake would like. I didn't for sure if I liked him, but Chloe thought I did. I had thirty dollars in my bag. This was the most money I had withdrawn in a while. I saw Chloe and waved. She smiled and gestured for me to join her. I checked my watch. It was 12:00.

"Hey," I said joining Chloe. "So I have to get to the studio to record a song by four, 'kay?" "Yup," Chloe replied with a smile. "Can I come with? I'd love to see you in action." Why the heck not? I thought.

"Sure. Now I think a sea green color would look fantastic on you." I said. Chloe looked me over while we walked to The Dress Depot. I wan't beautiful. I mean sure I could pass for pretty at a glance, but mostly I would be lucky to be called cute. I had a little bit longer than shoulder length, wavy/curly, blackish/brownish hair, that got a tint of red in direct light. I had big, brown eyes. My nose was a bit to big. I had tan skin. I was medium height, and I wasn't fat.

"I think," Chloe said when we were in front of the mirror at the front. "That you would look amazing in a sapphire blue dress." The dress depot was pretty big. It had isles of dresses in all colors and dressing rooms around the sides. The check was right by the door and there were chairs outside all the dressing rooms. There were mirrors everywhere. Inside and outside the dressing rooms, at the end of the isles, when you walked in, and in the back the whole wall was a mirror. In the corners they had three way mirrors. Luckily, the sea green and sapphire dresses were right next to each other. I found a gorgeous knee length sapphire dress. It was simple and didn't have thin straps. And according to Chloe, it brought out my curves. It didn't have to deep of a v-neck. It hugged my rib cage and stomach, then flowed out into a skirt. Plus, it was affordable. Chloe found a slightly longer sea green that had one thin strap, but the other one was thicker. We both got our dresses with barley enough time to spare to get to the studio. When we came in, Miss. Rosie, my teacher, gave me a hug and I introduced them both.

"Well sugar, we gotta hurry if we wanna squeeze you in. You let me know when ya'll are ready to start recording." I took a deep breath. I saw Chloe watching me. I turned toward the mic and began.

When I came out Chloe ran up to me and hugged me.

"That was AMAZING. No wonder Julliard wants you." she practically shouted into my ear. I laughed.

"Thanks." I said gently prying her off me. "I just hope that I do good at the audition next week." "You will blow it out of the water." She assured me. I checked my pocket. Just enough left for some Starbucks.

"So to celebrate, do you wanna go to Starbucks?" I asked. Ricky may or may not have asked me to get Chloe to Starbucks around 4:30, which was in fifteen minuets, to celebrate Chloe's birthday. Her birthday was actually on Wednesday, but we had a huge essay for English due so we decided on a surprise. I checked my purse on the way outside to make sure I had Chloe's gift. When we got to Starbucks ten minuets later, I saw Ricky and mouthed get ready. When we walked into the mostly empty Starbucks, Ricky and Blake jumped out from behind the doors and yelled surprise. Chloe jumped so hard she almost dropped her phone. The three of us cracked up. After a while, Chloe joined us to. "Thanks, guys." She said grinning.

"Which reminds me," Ricky looks at each of us. "Gifts?" he asks. "Gifts." Blake and I reply. We all coordinated our gifts. Since Chloe loved jewelry, I got her a necklace, Blake got her earrings, and Ricky got her a bracelet.

"Me first." Blake said. He got her a simple pair of sea green earrings.

"These will go perfect with my dress!" Chloe exclaimed. She gave him a hug.

"Me next!" I exclaimed. I presented her the box. I had gotten her an infinity necklace it was really simple. By the look on her face was priceless.

"I LOVE IT!" Chloe exclaimed while hugging me.

"Okay now it's Ricky's turn." Blake said. Ricky presented a little rectangular box. Chloe opened it and looked like she wanted to scream.

"OHMIGOSH!" Chloe exclaimed. He had gotten her a charm bracelet with a C charm. She threw her arms around. After a moment of hesitation, Ricky decided to give her another gift. A kiss.
