It was a late Sunday night. Me and Ariana sat in this little dress boutique store, or should I say I sat while Ariana shopped for a prom dress.

Prom was in a few weeks which worried Ariana, because everything has to be perfect to her. Everything.

"What about this one?" Ariana says as she steps out of the dressing room

The dress is long, and red, and sparkling. It fits her beautifully.

Ariana is my best friend but I can't help but to be jealous of her. She's popular, and rich, and beautiful. She could have ditched me anytime in my life, but she stayed. She stood by my side, and I love her for that. The dress was perfect, she was perfect

"it looks amazing, how much?" I question

"32k" Ariana says like it was nothing, which it was something, 32 thousand dollars for one dress, for one night.

"that's expensive. I could literally use that for tuition money" I say

"my father is the mayor, also my aunt owns this boutique. These are her dresses"

"and I wouldn't mind giving it to you as a gift" an unfamiliar voice says. I turn around to see a girl

Well not just any girl Renee Adamson

"Renee, I thought you were in London on fashion business" Ariana says in excitement before running into the her arms to embrace her in a hug

"I did, but I left early. No way in hell was I partnering up with that crazy London lady, she though my Elvis pants with cute crops were a bad idea, she obviously has no taste in creative designs" Renee says. She then turns to me

"who's this?" Renee questions

"this is my best friend since middle school Samantha. Samantha this is my aunt Renee" Ariana introduced

"Renee Adamson. You are like the best fashion designer, but the most expensive. I thought about buying some of your sunglasses but then I saw they cost 6k so I was like better not"

"first off, I'm not like the best, I am the best. Second of all here" Renee digs in her bag before pulling out the same sunglasses that I wanted to buy before handing them to me

"consider it a gift ms. Samantha, because my niece Ariana means the entire world to me, so if she likes you I love you, and if your her best friend you get treated like family" Renee says with a smile.

I like her.

"told you she was cool" Ariana says with a smile

"true I am pretty cool, but ariana that dress is killer on you honey, also tell your dad that I may be his little sister but I will still kick his ass if he continues to keep posting baby pictures of me all over the web. Paparazzi looks at that you know, and baby Renee Adamson bathing in a bubble bath with her tush out kinda defeats the angry bitch designer image for me. And I want my bitch image" Renee says in all seriousness

"noted" Ariana says while taking off the dress

"well it late, and we have school tomorrow. I'll see you at school tomorrow Ariana, nice meeting you Renee" I say before exiting the store and driving home. I walk into my humble home. My family must be sleep. As I walk upstairs towards my room I hear my dads voice. He's on the phone, and he's whispering

I walk closer to where he was, making sure he doesn't hear me coming, who could he be possibly talking to at midnight

"of course baby. My wife and kids are asleep but I'll be there soon" My dad whispers lowly
