Chp 13: The Halloween Dance

Halloween Dance! Okay guys! Here it is I hope you like it. So this is on October 30, so a day before the actual Halloween.

CH 13: POV TRIS

Several days ago Christina took me shopping (and I wouldn't expect any less of her.) She got me some new jewelry to match the dress and shoes to go along with it.

I think back to all the things she said she was looking for in a dress. She pointed out that I was quite pale (thanks Chris!) and that I should get something to extenuate that. We also looked for something that would make me look like I had a better figure.

In the end we got a silky silver dress that reflects light. It's long- down to my feet- in the back and stops at my knees in the front. Christina called it a high-low. It has thin spaghetti straps to hold it, with a neckline that stops at a point that would show any cleavage I might have. At the waist, the dress in slightly bunched up, giving the illusion that I have an hourglass figure.

I look at my face that is transforming in front of me. Christina has applied dark gold eye liner on my tear lines, silvery white eye shadow with a shadowy haze on the outer corner of my eye lids. She put on lengthening mascara and a small amount of light lip gloss. Now, she's working on styling my hair into soft curls that line my face. She pins some of in to the back of my head with silvery pins and let's me have a good look at myself in the body mirror.

What I see is a beautiful girl, who must be at least 16 (which is quite an improvement to my usual appearance) with large, but not googly, lovely blue eyes, who also happens to have a nice figure and a dress that looks like liquid moon light. I'm given Christina's gold pumps, which add at least five inches.

"Oh my god, Tris! You look great! Tobias won't be able to take his hands off you!" Christina squeals as she inserts pretty dangely gold and silver feather earrings into my ear. I reach behind me and take the small grey pear necklace my mother gave me to wear to the dance. Due to the reflection of my dress, the pearls appear to be little floating balls of silver.

"We need pictures!" Christina declares. We get together with our hands around the others waist and smile big as Chris takes pictures. We look back at the pictures. Chris looks marvelous with her short strapless purple dress and black heels, and I look just as radiant.

"Those will have to do for now." She says and tosses her camera on the bed.

Soon we hear a knock on the door and we're greeted by our dates: Will and Tobias.

Even though this isn't the Winter Formal dance, everyone who has a date to that dance is going to this one with that date. Even though it was already pretty much a pre-spoken agreement that we were going together, Tobias asked me to this dance by presenting me with one of those poster boards where the writing is spelled out with candy. I thought that was a pretty creative way to ask me to the Halloween dance, considering you get candy on Halloween.

From behind both of their backs they take out a bouquet of flowers for each of us. Tobias hands me a small bouquet of silver and gold colored flowers.

"For you." He says, smiling. "I know that flowers could never match your beauty but I think these should suffice as a gift." I blush and pull him into a hug. He hugs me back tightly before pulling away and kissing me lightly.

"If you didn't already get the message, you look ravishing tonight." Tobias states, leaning casually against the wall and I can't help but admire how sexy he looks when he does that. I giggle and quickly walk inside to but the flowers in water.

I walk back out and take Tobias' hand. We walk down to the parking lot and go to his car. He opens the door and helps me in, closing it after I'm situated.
