I'm a mess (on hold) :: kian a.u

chapter 17

↞krista↠

prom was in four days and I still didn't have a dress. I doubt that kian has a tux yet, so I'm not that worried. I'm going dress shopping with connor today because he wanted to be the one to take me.

I hate dresses, but I love prom. it's weird, I know. I like the slow dances and the cliche songs and seeing how hot your date looks when he gets all cleaned up.

I saw connor's car pull up into my driveway so I grabbed my purse.

"hey girl! you ready to get your shop on?" connor said while wearing these ridiculous sunglasses that made him resemble john lennon.

"totally, but what the heck is up with your glasses?" I laughed.

"don't hate! they're fierce." typical connor response.

-

"how about this one?" I asked connor, while wearing a frilly pink prom dress. I have already tried on many, many ugly dresses. I haven't found one that i like.

"eh. you could do better." connor said. he suddenly turned around and looked at the couple that just walked in. "crap." I heard him say under his breath.

"what? who is it?" I questioned. then I saw them. holding hands, giggling at each other. andrea and jack. of course they had to come here.

"krista! what a coincidence that you're here!" andrea said, pulling me into a quick hug. I could see connor roll his eyes. I tried to hold back a laugh.

I know that I shouldn't care that they're together, since technically jack and I were never officially together. it just bothers me that he's dating kian's ex.

"so...have any luck yet?" she asked.

"actually, no. I haven't found anything that doesn't scream toddlers and tiaras." I replied, causing her to laugh.

"c'mon. I'll help you find one." she said, pulling me along. I shot connor a confused look. he mouthed help me, since jack was attempting to start a conversation with him.

-

"you'll look great in this one." andrea said, handing me a short black dress with a mint green sash. I actually really like it. I tried it on. it hugged my curves perfectly.

"wow. surprisingly, I actually love it." I said. I showed it to connor and jack, and their mouths practically dropped to the floor.

"wow...you look hot!" connor said. jack just kept staring at me until andrea shot him a look.

"uh, yeah krista. you look great." he smiled.

I changed into my regular clothes and paid for my dress.

"andrea, can I ask you something?" I said. she nodded.

"why were you so nice to me today? obviously we haven't been on the best of terms for the past few weeks." I said.

"krista. we've been friends forever. I wasn't gonna let some boy get in between that. the past is the past, I've moved on and so should you." andrea said and walked away.
