Twisted

Chapter 34: Night we met

The girls were all at my house, while we tried on dresses and did each other's make up and hair styles. I wore a emerald green dress with a knee-high slit on the left leg and only thin strips holding it together on my bare back. I was incredibly uncomfortable because I had a feeling this was a bit too much for prom but after Pearl, Kelly and Isobel convinced me for over half an hour to buy this while the shop lady was trying her best to hold in her frustration, I decided to give it a try.

I adjusted the dress and came out of the bathroom feeling chills on my bare back, at the lack of clothing, as I awaited the response of my friends. The minute I stepped out of the bathroom, the girls fawned all over how beautiful I was looking. But no amount of compliments could get me to feel confident, as this dress was way out of my comfort zone.

I held the sides of my dress and twirled around, just to add to the dramatic effect.

"You are going to kill them, I swear to god. They will be begging...once they see you." Kelly cooed, not helping the situation at all. She just made me 100 times nervous than I was before. Both Zayn and Harry are going to be there. In the same room. It was way too much to comprehend what I was going to do, so I tried to push it to the back of my mind and embrace what had to be the best day of high school. "The whole school will be all over you while Zayn and Harry suck on their foolishness of not asking my girl out. I am so waiting to see the look on their faces once they see you."

Huh.

I raised my eyebrows at Isabel and she shook her head and replied with amusement, "I agree with Kelly for once. I mean..."  She raised her index finger and lowered it "Look at you."

"I am going to cry" Pearl shrieked. 

"Oh Pearl, you are such a mom" Kelly rolled her eyes.

"Shut up. I feel like a mom." Pearl snapped, pretending to wipe her tears.

I interlocked my arm with Pearl "Now it's your turn. Go on and wear that jaw-dropping, pants-tightening dress that's going to make Liam drool"

And so the next 45 minutes Isabel, Kelly, Pearl changed into their dresses and we helped each other in doing hairstyles and make-up while Lexi occasionally came into the room and made sarcastic comments in her own cute little way. Boy was she jealous. She threw a tantrum and ran around the house praying heavens for a heavy storm to occur. She even used her fake Harry Potter wand I gifted on her birthday and created a fake spell to use it upon her wherein she would magically become a high schooler.

Yup, it didn't work. But the one thing I was sure was she was going to be the mean, popular, steal-your-man-with-a-look type of girl she would grow into once she entered high school. Girls, hold your seat tighter coz Lexi Cox is coming.

 The boys were all meeting up with us in front of my house in a few minutes, and no, when I mention boys it doesn't include Zayn and Harry. Daniel was coming to pick me up, but I still wasn't contended to go with him. I'd rather go alone than make things anymore awkward. 

But Kelly demanded I go with Daniel or she wouldn't go to prom at all. She didn't want me to be sad but sad>>>awkward. 

You don't just go to prom with a guy you know nothing about. Anyways, I was planning to avoid him all night. 

The car honk alerted all of us and we all looked at each other while the nerves started acting up. We grabbed our purses and slowly made our way down the stairs where the boys were waiting and everyone gasped when they say us. Niall was the first one to step ahead grab Kelly in his arms. Louis was simply standing there with his mouth open wide when he saw Isabel and Liam  complimented Pearl in the most beautiful way by whispering sweet words in her ear.
