Little Red

Say Yes to the Dress Part 1

Eva's POV

As soon as we pulled up to Gabriel's house, I noticed Casey's black BMW in the driveway.

She honked twice and I waved.

I turned to Gabriel and he smiled.

"Be careful and have fun" he said and I smiled. Before I jumped out of the car I kissed his cheek and he grinned like the Cheshire Cat.

I quickly made my way to Casey's car. She grinned at me and wiggled her eyebrows. I laughed.

"Just drive you pervert" I said and she raised her hands in surrender.

"I didn't say anything" she defended.

"You may not have said anything but your expression says it all" I countered. She laughed and then shrugged.

"Anyway, let's go shopping!!" she squealed and I groaned.

"Yippee!" I said sarcastically. "This should be good"

3 Hours Later

"CASEY! I'm tired. Let's go home. We've been to numerous shops and I still haven't found a dress yet" It was true. I still haven't found a dress. Casey found her dress,mask, and shoes at the first shop we visited.

"Okay, let's take a break" she suggested. I nodded and we made our way into Starbucks.

She ordered a Green tea with a scone and I ordered a Carmel frappé with a coffee cake. We made our way to a table in the back and ate our food quietly. I was just about to break the silence when Casey spoke up.

"How much do you like Gabriel?" She asked and I choked on my cake.

"What?" I asked her with wide eyes. She smiled at me.

"I don't mean to pry Eva. I just want to know if your as serious as Gabriel is" she paused and then took a drink of her tea. "May I tell you a story?" She asked and I nodded my head.

"Eva, I care for Gabriel. A lot. I love him like a brother. Gabriel has been there for us whenever we needed him. I remember when I first met him. You see, back then I was quite different, I was a very shy, nerdy, overweight little girl. I used to get teased a lot back then. Especially by Sebastian" she said and my eyes widened.

"I know. It's hard to believe. The person who bullied me ultimately became my boyfriend"she rolled her eyes and laughed. "But anyway, long story short Gabriel helped me. He stood up for me when no one else would. I remember it like it was yesterday"

Casey's Flashback

I was sitting under a oak tree by the playground. All the kids were laughing and playing while I was reading my new Dr. Seuss book. I was about to turn the page, when a shadow blocked my light.

I looked up and scowled immediately.

"Hi Casey!" Said the boy with wild curly blonde hair and bright blue eyes.

"What do you want Gabriel?" I asked before looking at my book again.

"I was just wondering if you wanted to play with me?" He asked, never once losing his smile.

I looked into his face to see if he was joking. I never talked to Gabriel before and couldn't stand his best friend, Sebastian.

"I'm okay Gabriel. Thank you though" I said quietly and he frowned.

"Why? You look lonely?" He asked and I was about to answer when a annoying voice called his name.

"GABRIEL! LET'S GO!" Sebastian yelled "STOP TRYING TO TALK TO THAT UGLY NERD AND GET YOU BUTT OVER HERE!" I heard everyone snicker and giggle.
