The sun was setting. It almost seemed like the lake was eating the sun and the sky was painted soft red. Mel was sitting under the willow tree with an apple in her hand. The lake shimmered and looked so calm. It reflected everything around it. The scene looked like a painting come to life. Mel sighed and picked up her backpack and her car keys. She stood up and took a deep breath trying to get all the natural oxygen she can in one breath. She took the scene before finally turning and walking to her car.

It's been about a week since she got the news that she will be interviewing One Direction at the Met Gala. After leaving class she had gone to lockers where Amy and Zoey were waiting eagerly. Mel didn't really know how to react to the news. She was now excited, nervous and a whole lot of mixed emotions. When she explained what Mr. Arthur said to her friends, they looked at each other first and then squealed.     

To say they were excited was an understatement. Quickly the news spread to the whole school and the neighborhood. People would bring her snacks and volunteer to sit with her at lunch. Mel would just politely refuse. All this attention was new to her.

There were about two months for the met gala. She was supposed to pick up Amy and Zoey to go shopping for dresses and other things to wear to the met gala. Just thinking about going to the met gala and all attention she was going to get made her release a breath she did not know she was holding.

Soon they arrived at the mall. Mel's hobbies were just like that of other teen girls (singing, shopping, hanging out with friends, doing makeovers etc.). First, they went to the dress shops. Amy and Zoey went around showing different dresses to Mel but nothing seemed to please her.

'How about this one', Zoey said as she showed a soft yellow dress. It had a floral print on and came way above her knees.

'Nah, too short', Mel replied.

'How's this?', Amy showed her another dress. It was a red dress and showed of naked shoulders with a slit from the mid thighs.

'But it looks too elegant', Mel whined.

Mel went through all the dresses and one dress caught her eye. It was a baby pink dress which was just above her knees on the front. It was made of soft frilly fabric.

What about this one?', Mel said making Amy and Zoey turn. Their eyes went wide when they saw the dress.

'OMG! Its so gorge', Zoey exclaimed.

'Try it on! Try it on! Try it on!', Amy repeated as she ushered Mel into the changing room.
