I stared up at my clock, the time reading, 09:11 (a. m). I groaned, knowing I had to be up by 09:30 (a. m). My eyes, unvolunteerily, closed as I verbally sighed. Today, I'd promised to go shopping with Jordan Davis for our Yule Ball dresses.
Jordan told me she wanted to go shopping earlier in the week rather than later, as many of the attendees would most likely rush to get their outfits the day before the dance. We made a deal. If she were my 'date', then I'd go to the ball, yet I have a feeling she has her eyes on Avery Willows.
My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of my phone ringing, the name that appeared on the screen read, 'Darling🏳️🌈'. I practically jumped out of my bed to grab my phone.
"Jordan!" I panted, catching my breath after the sudden jolt up.
"Hello, Alix. Are you dressed? I'm 10 minutes away from your house." Her voice was a wake-up call to me.
"Uh, yeah, just throwing some shoes on."
Shit, I was supposed to be up at 08:30 (a. m). Not 09:30 (a. m).
"Okay, I'll leave you to finish getting ready. I'll text you when I am outside your house."
"Okay, bye hun." I smiled to myself and put the phone down.
Not long after, my smile faded, I needed to hurry up and get dressed.

My phone pinged with a notification.

I quickly threw my coat and shoes on and ran towards my door. Opening it, I greeted Jordan with a warm smile. Which soon dropped back to my usual frown. I closed my door, remembering to lock it, before leaving.
We headed towards the bus stop, which, honestly, wasn't that far. When we reached it, the bus was parked up, allowing other passengers to board. Jordan and I quickly hurried on the bus, showing the driver our tickets.
We sat in silence most of the ride, the odd occasion we did speak was when I asked, 1, which shop we were going to?, 2, how far away were we?, and 3, did I lock the door?
The route the bus took was quite scenic. We went down roads I hadn't even seen before. Roads in which horses lived at the side of, and those of which ducks and deer crossed. This was by far the only bus journey I'd actually enjoyed because of the route.
I felt uncomfortable with the rising silence between us, so I turned to the short brunette next to me, smiled and said, "Jordan, darling, what colour dress are you hoping to get?"
Her face lit up once the question was asked. "I was hoping to get an aquamarine one, or potentially even periwinkle!" Jordan paused for a moment, "But, if neither of those are available, I'd gladly settle for a grey-pink one, or even a pale lilac." She came to a sudden stop, "Sorry, I waffled on about colours. What shade would you be looking for?"
I don't really know all the different shades, and Jordan knows that, so I just said, the one specific shade of white that I knew, "Ivory." She smiled at that. It was the colour of the dress she wore when we first met, at the age of 4. I looked down at her and smirked, "With, potentially, an ultra violet lace?"
We both laughed, the memories flooding back to us both in a rush.

I sat in my room, talking to the dolls that sat before me.
"Hello, Jessica." I said, pretending to be the doll I named 'Macy'
"Heya!" My voice a bit higher this time, taking the role of 'Jessica'.
Just as I was about to continue the conversation between the two dolls, a knock came upon my door.
"Alix, sweetie, my friend, Iradessa is here." She paused, seeing my attention had gone back to 'Macy' and 'Jessica'. "She has a daughter around your age." My head shot, my eyes meeting my mother's gaze.
"Really?" I practically shrieked, causing my mother to stumble a bit.
"Yes, come down, and introduce yourself." She waited for me to stand up, then turned away and headed back downstairs.
I, wanting to meet this potential playmate, followed instinctively.
I stood in the doorway of the living room, a brown haired girl sitting in the middle of it, playing with dolls similar to my own.
"Hi. I'm– " I almost whispered, my voice getting caught in my throat as the girl dropped her toys to turn towards me.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." I stumbled on my words as the girl locked eyes with me. She was very pretty. I smiled at her before walking over.
"This is," She paused, noticing I was next to her. "Oh, hi, yes, sorry, this is Samantha, and this blonde one is Jasmine." I nodded.
"I have a Jessica and a Macy. Let me go get them. Actually, we can play in my room." We stood up and ran to our mothers.
"Can we play upstairs in my room?" I turned to the parents, whom, in return, nodded and smiled.
The two of us ran up to my room, giggling to ourselves.
