New looks

Elena's POV

I threw myself on my full size bed facing up to the ceiling. I sighed looking over at Caroline who's rummaging through my drawers and closet, looking for my outfit for the party.

"Ugh, Elena don't you have anything... Feminine." She cried out from inside my closet throwing clothes on the floor.

"You're going to have to fold that and put it back you know." I gave her a pointed look. She gave a wave of her hand and mumbled, 'yeah,yeah.' I rolled my eyes smiling at her.

"I don't know why I have to dress differently this is just Matt he's seen me in boxers and a t-shirt." I got up off my bed and sat on the floor next to a pile of clothes. I knew Caroline wasn't going to do it and beats doing it later while the pile grows.

I took a long sleeve navy blue and teal stripped sweater with an anchor on the left breast that went past my waist it still had its tag on. I lifted it up and tried to get Caroline's attention. She tilted her head from side to side weighing the options.

"It has potential." She spoke before looking back in my closet. I put the sweater aside on my bed and looked at my favorite t-shirt and put it next to it on my white and purple floral blanket.

After an hour sitting on the floor and Caroline going through my closet she gave up and let me wear just an Aerosmith loose shirt, black skinny jeans and my black suede Reeboks. Caroline went home and I went to take a shower.

I sat on the couch waiting for Matt to arrive. My parents took Jeremy and Jenna to Merlots's in the next town over. I was watching The Sixth Sense on Lifetime when the doorbell rang. I turned off the tv and went to answer it. Matt was standing there in blue jeans, black and grey Jordan's with a blue Nautica button up shirt with his hair gelled to one side and lifted up in the front.

My breath got caught in my throat, he looked like a million bucks. I was staring at him to long because when his eyes caught mine and I had to fight off the faint blush that was attacking my cheeks.

I looked down at my jeans and took off the lint that it had.

"You look nice Matt I like this shirt on you." I smiled up at him since he was a maybe a foot taller than me.

"Thank you. I like your shirt too." I just smiled at him as we walked to his car. The whole way to the party we talked about the time in third grade when he were performing King Arthur and he accidentally threw up on stage because he forgot his lines. We laughed the whole way to the party even though it was just across the cemetery.

We had to park at the end of the block because the whole street was filled with cars and we got here relatively early.

We walked down the street smiling at each other. I bumped my shoulder with his arm he looked down at me, smiled and bumped me back.

"I wonder which house is Caroline's?" I asked trying to contain myself. Obviously it was the one with the multi-color lights and the music basting.
