It's Too Late

Chapter 13

Emily's POV

"Hey, girls! I'm glad you called me over Rocky and Ratliff were having a dizziness contest. I was trying to find an excuse to leave", Rydel said putting her bag down with her pillow and blankie. "Are you guys really watching Teen Beach Movie?", she laughed sitting on the big chair.

"Hey, don't het! You know you love it!", I laughed. we watched the rest of Teen Beach Movie and of course we had to watch the second one. I couldn't fight the urge.

"so how did it go between you and Ross? He went back room and didn't want to talk anyone", Rydel asked.

"I don't know. we're still friends. Maybe it's something else", I lied. I didn't really want to talk about Ross and I anymore. Rydel dropped the topic and we spent the rest of the night watching High School Musical, yes, all three. Callie told Rydel about her break up but left out there part about how she's secretly in love with Rocky. I am so going to get them together. They'd be so cute together. They're both insane. The Pirates of the Carribean came on signaling I had a phone call. It was my mother.

"Hey, Mom, how's it going?", I asked walking into the kitchen.

"Great, I just found out I get to come home early. Tomorrow night is my work's fancy ball dance thing so I want you and Callie to go out and shop for ball gowns. You can invite the Lynchs and Ellington if you want", my mom said. She doesn't know about the fight Ross and I had.

"Awesome, I'll tell Rydel and Callie. They're here staying the night", I said.

"Hi, Lisa!", Callie and Rydel yelled from the living room.

"Hi Girls!", she yelled through the speaker, "Alright, I should go. I have a long drive tomorrow. I'll be home in time for the ball. I'll meet you guys there."

"Okay, can't wait to see you", I said.

"I know sweetie, love you", she said. I said love you and then hung up.

"What are you supposed to tell us?", Callie asked.

"There's this fancy ball dance thing. You, Rydel, and the others can come. tomorrow we have to go shopping for dresses", I said.

"Oh my gosh! Yes! I'm so excited. Ell will be my date. You and Rocky can go together", Rydel said to Callie. "and you and Ross can go together."

"I don't think that's good idea, Rydel. I think it would be better if I fly solo", I said honestly. I would love to go with Ross, but I don't want to give him the wrong idea.

"Alright", Rydel sighed, "Right when we wake up we must go straight to the dress store." We all agreed. After Rydel called Riker and told her about tomorrow night, we went back to the living room and watched The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, and Clueless. I passed out in the middle of Clueless.

I woke up Rydel jumping on me and yelling at me to get up so we could go dress shopping. I got up, showered, and got dressed into comfy t-shirt and shorts. By the time I got done Rydel had scrambled eggs waiting me. Maybe I should have Rydel sped the night more often. I ate my eggs, slipped on my old Converse, and got pushed out the door by Rydel. Rydel was driving, Callie was texting Rocky telling all the guys rent to tuxes, and I was in the back scrolling thorough Tumblr still trying to wake up. I got bored of scrolling through Tumblr and went to Twitter. I was scrolling through Twitter with my eyes closed until I was disturbed by Callie telling me that we arrived at the dress store. It took two hours, but we finally found the perfect dresses. I got back into the car and instantly fell back asleep.

"Wake up! How do you sleep so much?", Rydel yelled. I reluctantly got up, grabbed my dress, and walked into my house. I hung up my dress then face panted onto the couch hoping I could fall asleep again, but my hopes were shattered when I got a text.
