Tuesday:

-Ruth-
"No, Emily, NO!" I stated and shook my head firmly as she held up a bright pink dress.

She glared at me with her green blue eyes and I flinched. "Em, please take your beastly eyes back to my closet." I begged and she rolled her eyes.

It was Tuesday after school, and Emily was trying to get me ready for dinner. Randy was coming over but I didn't know what the big fuss was.

I grabbed a pillow and buried my face in it, screaming dramatically. "Why Em? Why do I have to be so fancy?!" I muttered into the pillow.

I got no reply and I lifted my head to see Emily gawking towards Austin's room. Austin was sitting on his bed, shirtless.

"Oh good Lord." She sighed dreamily, practically drooling.

"Girl, he's sexy and he knows it. You know what I'm saying?" She added and winked.

I stared at her in disgust. "Ew. Stop. Just stop."

"Why?!" She whined.

I glared at her as she pouted. I had such weird friends.

"Ok enough with the pouting. Either get out of my room or help me choose something to wear." I tapped her shoulder impatiently.

"Are you fricken kidding me?! I have been trying to help you for an hour already and you don't even try any dresses on." She protested. "And now I'm just having a break, staring at him." She added with a smirk and repostioned her gaze unto Austin.

I threw a pillow in her face and she scowled darkly at me. "Fine! I'll help you a little more but you seriously need to fit on some dresses."

I nodded and took a heap of dresses she handed me, going into the bathroom.

After trying on 4 dresses that weren't good enough, I decided I would try on one more dress.

I choose a red dress with long lace sleeves. Slipping into it, I stared into the mirror. The dress was tight, really tight. The neck line was pretty low, a little too low for my liking. But it fitted me perfectly.

After a relaxing shower, I put on the dress again and sighed.

I stepped out of the bathroom, smoothing down my dress and trying to make it comfortable.

"How does it look?" I asked Emily without looking up.

"Sexy." A deep voice answered and my head jerked up. Austin was standing on his balcony with a full view into my room.

"Emily! Get out here this minute!" I shouted, looking around, searching for her.

"What?" Her muffled voice answered from in my closet.

"What are you doing in there?" I asked, crossing my arms over my chest.

"Looking through your dresses, duh!" She replied calmly.

"And did you by any chance leave the doors to the balcony open?" I quizzed.

Her head appeared by the door of the closet as she peeked out. "Yeah. So?"

I scowled at her and motioned to Austin, who was standing there with an amused expression on his face.

Emily's eyes widened and she frantically pulled down her shirt and smoothed out her short skirt.
