"Does the dress twirl? I feel that it needs to twirl."
"Oh, yeah. That's important. It will look great for the cameras." Andrea nods in agreement, making Gina try and flourish the skirt of the dress.
"Mmm. Good call." Gina puts the dress back on the hanger before looking through the rest of the dresses.
"I can't believe we are fitting you for a Hollywood ball gown." Miss Jenn says, making Andrea chuckle as she watched her friend. "Feels like yesterday you showed up with your pink sparkly shoes, and your tracksuit, and you scared the bejesus out of me."
"You know, I think I was more scared than anybody that day." Gina chuckles.
"And now, you're a movie star."
"Can I be honest with you guys?" Gina says, making the two lean forward in their seat. "I don't know if I'm ready for this."
"Honey... There is never a good or right time to become a star."
"Well, yeah, but it's more about figuring out what I want. How can I know that right away? What do I even say to Ricky?" Gina says, gesturing to Andrea, making her purse her lips in understanding. "This movie and New Zealand... I still haven't told anybody but you."
"Ricky will understand. He loves you."
Andrea gives Gina a knowing look, making the latter sigh, "Honestly, if I knew he loved me, that might help."
"You mean he hasn't..."
It took everything in Andrea not to tell Gina right then that Ricky really did love her. "Yeah, I know. It sounds silly. It feels like I'm always the one putting myself out there first. It was the same with Aiden and now with Ricky."
"Oh, Gina." Andrea walks over to the girl and hugs the girl tightly, making Gina smile as she rests her head on her friend's.
"Sometimes I think boys need to learn a few more words."
"At this point, I'd settle for three."
"Jennifer?" Mazarra enters the room with a knock, calling the three girl's attention. "A word."
"I'll be back, ladies." Miss Jenn says to the two hugging friends. The two girls watch their teacher go before continuing their search for the perfect dress.
"You know that Ricky really does care for you, right?" Andrea hesitates to say.
"I know. I just...don't know if he feels as strongly as I do." Gina sighs as she looks through the clothing rack. "I know what I want. I need to know that he does to."
"I get that." Andrea nods, searching through her own rack. "When are you going to tell him about New Zealand?"
"I'll tell him about it the next time I see him."
"Well, i'll be right here with you through it all." Andrea looks over shoulder, sending her friend a wink. "Even when you are across the world from me. I'm so damn proud of you."
