Slow burn
Today was the day I was going to see Paige play. The day Hadley and I planned I would text her good luck. The day I might do a 'gesture'.
Some friends were coming over at 6:00 to pregame and we were heading to the game at 7:00.
I couldn't figure out what to wear with this jersey. I could try to look hot and wear a jean skirt- but that feels like I'm trying to hard. I could go casual and wear a hoodie and leggings with the jersey- but I want to feel good I don't know why I care this much, I always just throw cloths on and hope they work together.
"Hads can you come in here and help me" I scream.
Within 30 seconds Hadley is in my room. "Don't know what to wear?" She asks. She is like a mind reader, or maybe it's the fact that I'm looking helpless with cloths thrown around my room.
"Yea"
"Thought so" she says as she digs through my closet. Hadley was probably the best dressed person I know, I often had her pick me out outfits. Sometimes she'd tell me to wear something that looked questionable at first but when I put it on her picks never failed.
She pick up a pair of white and blue adidas sneakers "these would be perfect" she throws them on my bed.
"Are your legs shaved?" She asks.
"Yup"
"One sec I have the perfect shorts" she says before she runs to her room and returns with a navy blue pair of shorts.
"Shorts? Am I gonna look like one of the players" I ask as I stare at the shorts she hands me.
"You should know to have trust in me by now, just put them on" she urges me.
I change while she sits on the bed. Neither of us mind, we are like sisters at this point. Once I put the whole ensemble on I stare at myself in the full body mirror. Damit she's right, this does look good. I see her get up and stand behind me in the reflection of the mirror.
She gives me a look of approval, noting "I outdid myself this time. It's perfect, casual and fun. It doesn't look like your trying to hard but you still look cute. Now we have to add accessories"
She rummages through my jewelry box to find gold brackets and gold earrings. She puts them on me like the brides on say yes to the dress getting their veils. The gold jewelry really does complete the look. I look straight of someone's Pinterest board.

I leave my hair natural and put on mascara and perfume. By the time Hadley and I are both ready our friends start to arrive. There were about 10 of us in the group and we pregame until we walk to Gampel stadium at 7:00.
"Did you send it yet" Hadley says as we walk in the group.
"What?" I asked unsure of what she's referring to.
