Hannah and I decided to go to the mall first to get me a dress to wear for tonight’s New Year’s Eve party. I mean, come on, there are celebrities going there. Dress to impress, right?

Hannah told me that she has a dress already and that she got it as present and she still didn’t wear it, she’s waiting for the right time for the dress to come in handy and in did, for tonight’s party.

We’ve been walking and entering stores but nothing caught my eye, I was about to give up when my eyes saw the most beautiful dress. It’s like it was calling me to buy it. The store was not that big, in fact if you’re going to be in my position, the store was unnoticeable.

The chime of the shop rang when Hannah and I both enter. The shop was small and only has like few people in it. My jaw drops when we enter the shop, all the dresses are beautiful, from colors and to other categories, that store has it all. I snap out of my awe and I straightly went to where I saw the dress on the manikin.

It was a black flowy dress that’s just above my knee. It wasn’t that long nor short, it was just right. It hugs my shape on the waist, god it’s perfect. Not slutty but elegant. Simple yet elegant.

 “Oh that looks beautiful on you, try it out!” Hannah suggested and I nod getting my way to the fitting room. I strip off my clothes and wear the dress, after that I turn around and I look at myself in the mirror. It fit perfectly like the dress was actually made for me. I smiled and got outside for Hannah to see.

She was busy tapping with her phone that she didn’t notice me; I cleared my throat and spoke.

“So, what do you think?” I ask and she looks up at me, her eyes leaving her phone for the first time this day. Her eyes widen when she saw me, looking me up and down. I felt uncomfortable and all I can think were my insecurities.

“I guess this dress isn’t the right for me, I’ll just go back and get cha---” I was cut off by Hannah squealing at me. She looks like a fan girl meeting her favorite band, she’s quite annoying if you'll ask me.

“No, No, No! That dress even looks better when you wore it. Girl, I bet boys will drool when they see you tonight. You look shmexy!” She said as she winks at me and laughs.

I tried hiding my pink cheeks at her but I guess I failed because she didn’t stop laughing. I didn’t wear dress too often. I’m the kind of girl who wears jeans and baggy shirt.

“You’re just saying that because you’re my best friend.” I said as I look at myself again at the mirror.

“No, I’m telling the truth. Zayn’s jaw will drop on his face, I’m not even kidding.” She said.

Seriously why does she have to open a topic about Zayn? I can’t blame her, I guess because I still didn’t tell her what happened that night, I might just leave it like that and not even start an argument with her. This day is going fine and I won’t let a stupid little argument to ruin it.

“Yeah, whatever.” I said and lightly laugh.

As I was studying myself on the mirror I look at the price tag and I swear my eyes were about to fall off because of what I saw. It was so expensive! What is it made of, gold!?

“You know what, never mind this dress. I’m just going to find something in my closet.” I heavy sighed and frown.

“But why? I swear that dress was made for you.” Hannah said voicing what I was thinking awhile ago.
