Listen To Your Heart

The Truth

"Jane calm down." Mal said to the frantic girl.

"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh," Jane said pacing around like a crazy person. "Where did Evie go?"

Mal rolled her eyes. "She went to go get your dress, duh."

Jane momentarily calmed down. "I know. It's just that Ali is gonna be here in like 10 minutes and I don't have a dress."

"I'm back!" Evie said, entering Jane's room. She was rocking her blue dress with silver heels and strutted on her way to Jane. Jane and Mal gave each other a look before returning their attention to Evie.

"Do you have the dress E? Cause Ali is going to be here any minute." Mal said.

"Now Jane," Evie said, pulling out the dress from the garment bag. " I know it's a little shorter than you wanted and is strapless, but it's all the material I could find. Do you like it?"

Jane gasped at the gorgeous dress. It was a beautiful light blue dress that looked like that of a ballerina. "I love it!" Jane said.

"You do?!" Evie asked happily.

"I do!" Jane said, hugging Evie. She then quickly stepped into the bathroom to change into the dress. She came out timidly, unsure of how she looked.

Mal and Evie gasped. Never had they seen their friend so beautiful. "Jane," Mal said. "Ali is going to die when he sees you in that dress! He'd be crazy not to ask you to be his girlfriend!"

Jane's eyes lit up. "You think he's going to ask me to be his girlfriend?"

"Duh!" Mal and Evie said together, making Jane giggle and blush.

"I really hope you guys are right," Jane said. "I've liked Ali for the longest time and I never thought he'd ever like me back. No one ever does." Jane looked down at the floor and Evie and Mal felt bad for their friend.

"Aw Jane," Evie comforted. "Well that just means that they weren't the guy for you."

"Yeah," Mal spoke up. "A great guy will come along that's the right guy for you."

Jane blushed. "Do you-do you think that guy is Ali?"

Mal pondered for a moment. "Actually-" she was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"That must be Ali!" Jane said, hurriedly grabbing her coat and purse. Evie and Mal stared at her. "What?"

Evie cleared her throat. "Jane is that Carlos's Jacket?"

Jane looked at her coat and blushed. "I think so. He let me borrow it a long time ago and let me have it. It's my favorite thing that I own. We'll see you guys later." She opened the door to see Ali standing there with a bouquet of blue roses. Jane blushed and they headed off to the dance.

"M," Evie said. "You never did answer Jane's question."

"Which one?"

"About whether or not you think also is the the guy for her."

"Oh. That."

"Well..."

"You want the truth?" Mal asked carefully.

"Yeah." Evie nodded.

"No."
