love at first night

3

"Avery! Nicole! " I yell from my room "I have a date tonight!" 

I hear thuds then running and barely 10 seconds later they're right in front of me 

"Tell. Us. Everything!" she says while punctuating each of her words with a heavy breath. So, I do, I tell them about the club, the bathroom, and the ride home. I even tell them what I saved his contact as. Throught the story Avery and Nicole kept interrupting with tons of awes and too cutes. by the time we're done talking it's almost 5." Shit!" Nicole says while looking down at her phone " It's almost 5. Maddie, get in the shower and we'll figure out your outfit." We agree on the plan then split up I grab a towel then get in the shower as the warm water hits my body, I'm immediately put in a trance, and I forget that I'm not alone I start singing 'trainwreck' by James Aurthur. when I step out of my shower and walk into my bedroom, I am greeted by my two awestruck besties. Avery is the first to snap out of her disbelief.

" What the fuck Maddie? why was I not aware of your ability to sing so fucking well?" Avery starts. I'm about to interject with a comment of my own when Nicole starts.

" I literally grew up in the same house as you. How was I not made aware of this?"  When I finally start talking all I can think to say is " Sorry, I usually only sing when I'm alone. Anyways what outfit did you guys' pick?" they gesture to the bed, and I see a black sweetheart topped sleeveless mini dress, black leather ankle boots with a golden zipper, I black Prada clutch with a gold chain, a beautiful gold necklace with a lotus flower pendant, and these gold square wired earrings with a white square in them. I put on the outfit and five minutes later I walk out of the bathroom at a loss for words because right now I truly feel the most beautiful that I have ever felt. I take a deep breath and before I turn around, I put up that shield behind my eyes, the one no one can see through, the one I've gotten so good at holding up. I thank them and tell them I love it which is true I just don't tell them that this is the first time I've felt beautiful in almost a year. I don't tell them because I don't want their pity. It's already six thirty so Nicole does my hair and Avery does my makeup. Nicole does a half up half down style with my hair. Avery does a natural look complete with cat eye eyeliner. the second they finish there's a knock on the door, James is here to pick me up. I walk downstairs to open the door and the second I do I find myself unable to breath.
