13 | Ignited Night

I went out of the fitting room and complained to Aimee, who chose this body hugging dress that is just long enough to cover my undies, "I swear Aimee. I really can't live the night wearing this shit."

"Don't be too conservative Gabb. This event happens once in a lifetime. We should be as wild as possible," Monique said showing how tired she was.

It's 2pm and we had been shopping since the mall opened and all of them successfully bought their outfits for tonight, except me.

I am not sure if it is just that I am not in the mood to shop or it is the fact that I can't stand dealing with Courtney after knowing that she secretly hates me.

"Okay Gabb. Let's try another one. And I am telling you, this will be the last," Aimee spoke.

I went in again then went out wearing a maroon fitted crop top and a highwaisted black leather skirt, which shows some skin under my breasts and above my navel.

"That's perfect! You really look hot there. What do you feel about it?" Aimee exclaimed.

"It's good, I guess," I answered humbly after seeing Courtney roll her eyes on what Aimee said.

"Thank God. We've finally found the one," Aimee said heading to the cashier.

As we left the mall, we straightly headed to Courtney's house for preparation for the party.

"I'm so excited! I can't wait to dance with Mike," Lindsey chuckled as she curls Courtney's hair.

"Seriously? You really think he would dance you? He doesn't even know you," Courtney washed out.

"Hey Courtney, what's with you? You had been so irritated since this morning. Chill out, okay? We must enjoy this whole thing. And don't worry Lindsey, we'll work on Mike," Aimee cut in while I work on her hair.

Courtney stared at me and said, "Okay. Okay. Sorry, Lindsey."

I don't know but as Courtney looked at me, I felt my heart was being torn in half.

I turned my gaze onto Aimee's hair and said, "There you go."

"Thanks Gabb. You're the best," Aimee said.

Another hour has passed before we all got ready for the event. And with every minute I spent in her house, I didn't stop thinking about what will happen at the moment Brian and I talked to her.

"Oh my God. I don't know what to feel. Let's go guys. I can't wait to go there," Monique spluttered as we went out of Courtney's house.

After a silent drive, we arrived at the venue and it was 8:30 in the evening and in just half an hour, the party will start.

The six of us, including Riley, sat on one of the 8-seater tables near the stage.

"Aimee, I will go get some drinks," I whispered.

"I'll come with you," she replied and said to the girls, "Guys, we'll get some drinks. Anything you like?"

"No thanks, Aimee." Courtney answered.

As we went to the bar station Aimee asked pertaining to the hot guys over the bar table, "Hey, do you see what I'm seeing?"

I laughed and said, "Aimee. Calm down."

She breathed heavily and said, "Okay okay."

One of the boys whiseled and said to me,"Hey hottie."

"Gabb, I know you're hot. But everytime we are together, I always seemed out of sight," Aimee complained to me.

"I'm Ashton. What's your name, babe? Can I get your number?"
