Ari
Perfect. Just freaking peachy. It was just moments ago when...

"Ari I found the perfect dress!" Bev exclaimed.
I turned around from my selection of dresses and saw Bev already trying on a pastel colored dress. It shined with every light it hit and looked perfect on the mannequin. Just, not for Bev. It look too... puffy. "Did you find anything?"she said peering at my collection of dresses that are longer than me that haven't been touched.
I sighed. "No. None of them feel right."
"That's because none of those dresses show an inch of your body, besides the arms. Come on, I know you wanna go to that dance wearing a super tight mini dress."
"I can't. Liam wants to take it slow, and I sort of accept that."
"I'll help you pick out a dress... If you want."
I really appreciate that, but I didn't apply waterproof mascara today and I was feeling the works coming on.
"Yeah, well thanks. Get to it" I said shooing her away.
I wiped away my almost shed tears then saw something catch my eye. This bluish, purplish dress in the middle of the store was practically calling my name. But as I walked over to grab it, someone else also did.
It was me.

Savi

Uh-oh. Ari was giving me the glare of death that usually made people feel that the end was near. But not this time.
"Are you going to let go of my dress?" I snapped, suddenly feeling a sense courage.
"As soon as you let go of mine." She said smiling smugly.
After a few seconds of glaring at each other, a saleswoman comes to us.
"Um ladies. There are tons of matching dresses for you girls to wear."
"Well," she started, looking at the saleswoman's name tag. "Elaine, you see, this female and I (She doesn't even want to address me as her sister) don't want matching dresses. I don't need her wearing the same damn dress as me. I just need her to get her hands off my dress."
"Uh, well in that case, one of you girls have to let go of the dress."
Ari inspected the dress. She rolled her eyes and let go of it. Thank God. I was losing my grip of my sweaty hands."Here, you can have the dress."
I stared at her in disbelief. "Are you sure?"
Ari and Bev paused before they left the store. "I'm sure. I hope you have a nice time in the fitting room." They snickered and left, leaving Sam and I to inspect the size of the dress.
Crap. The dreaded size 2.
"It's never too late to start doing crunches" Sam lightly chuckled.
