You two can't be together (Dylan O'Brien Fanfiction)

Chapter Eleven

"Hi T." I greeted him by his locker. 

"Hi J." Thomas responded and pulled me in a hug. I looked confused at him. 

"What? Can't I hug my best friend?" He said, raising an eyebrow. 

I smiled and shook my head. "Sure you can. Sorry it's been a while seen you've done that." I chuckled a bit. 

"It looked like you needed one." He shrugged. 

"That bad huh?" I sighed. 

"What's going on?" He asked as he closed his locker. 

Suddenly an idea came to me. "Come with us to the mall. I can use your opinion." 

He crooked an eyebrow. "About what?" 

"I have a date this Friday and you know about my birthday party at Saturday. I can use your male opinion." 

"Okay, I'll come." He said, not really sure of his answer.

After sixth period the bell rang and I walked towards my locker, waiting for Ashley and Thomas. 

"Nora!" I called out for her as I saw her walking to her own locker. Just the one I was looking for. 

"Hey J. What's up?" 

"You free?" 

"Yeah, why?" 

"We're going to the mall. I have a date tomorrow and I need new clothes for my birthday party." 

"A date?" She asked surprised. "Is it with that guy I'm not supposed to mention?" Nora whispered.

I nodded. "No, unfortunately it isn't him. I'll explain everything later." I added when I saw her looking confused at me. 

"Ash and T coming as well?" 

"Course." 

"I'm in." 

"Great." I said and we waited together for Ashley and Thomas.

"Oh, I love this one!" Nora said excitedly. 

I looked at the mirror. It was a long, coral red dress. "I don't know." I said to her, turning around a bit. 

"I agree with J. It's not really her color." Ashley said and I groaned. 

"T?" I turned around so he could see the whole dress. 

"This shade of red is not really your color, no." Thomas said and I groaned. 

"This is like the twelfth dress I'm trying on." I got back into the dressing booth and changed back into my own clothes. 

"We found you an outfit for your birthday so it's not that bad." Nora said and I groaned again. 

"But none of these are enough for a fancy dinner." 

"Come on. I know this one store. It's a bit more expensive than the other stores, but we might succeed there." Ashley said. 

I nodded. "My mum is paying anyway." 

"She is?" Nora said surprised. 

"Didn't really ask her, but she wants me to go on this date so she better pay for the dress." The three of them looked confused at me. "Never mind. I'll explain later." I said as we exited the store.

"First we're going to get some food. I'm starving." Nora said as we walked past Subway. We all laughed but agreed with her.
