chapter 13

MEGAN'S POV

My clothes was all over the room. Some lay strewn across the floor. Other pieces were matched up pitifully on my bed. Shoes were all piled up by my pillows and in my chair. My room was a total mess.

When I had gotten home, I wanted to get ready for my date with Will. And because I'm as overdramatic as I am, I wanted to do things right.

So I went through an entire closet in movie-montage forma, throwing my clothes all over the room as I went through them, desperately trying to find that "perfect outfit" for my date.

But alas, my perfect outfit was nowhere in sight.

I sighed and sat down on my clothes-covered bed. I yanked my phone off my bedside table and dialed Anna's number. Well, I dialed 2. I have her on speed dial, obviously.

"Anna. You have to help me. I'm dying!" I cried dramatically. Fortunately, she knew I was just being myself and didn't freak out.

"What's the matter this time?" Anna asked me. I could practically hear her eye roll through the phone, and I laughed.

"You need to come over," I told her. "I need to find the perfect outfit for my date with Will..."

"Ohhhh, riiight," Anna said, giggling. "I forgot that's tonight!"

"Yeah. It's tonight. Now get your butt over here because I have absolutely nothing to wear."

"Calm yourself, girl," Anna whined. I guess I was freaking out just a little too much. "I'll be right over."

"Okay good," I paused to breathe, "I'll see you soon!"

"Megan?" Anna's voice rang through the hallway. My mom must have already let her in here.

"Yeah, I'm in here," I called. She walked in through my door and gasped, her mouth dropping open.

"What the heck happened in here, a tsunami?!" Anna was known for being a bit overdramatic too.

"Oh, come on, it's not that bad," I said. Then I took another look around, seeing the scene with fresh eyes. It really did look quite ridiculous. "Okay, so it's that bad."

"Wait, Meg," Anna stopped in her tracks, then walked over to my desk. There sat my lamp, with a delicate dress draped over it. I must have thrown it there in all the fuss.

"Oh my gosh..." I breathed. I had totally forgotten about that dress. When I tried it on for the first time, I loved it so much that I bought it even though it didn't fit the school dress code. Unfortunately that meant that it was hidden in the back of my closet and never worn.

It was a beautiful cream-colored strapless lace dress that cut low at the neck and high on the thighs. It was the most beautiful piece of clothing I owned, even though I had only worn it once.

"This is perfect," Anna said bluntly. And she was totally right. "You go put it on and I'll find some jewelry for you to wear with it!"

I took the dress out of her hands and walked to the bathroom. I knew before I even slipped it on that it was going to fit perfectly, which it did. My curves looked great, and I looked hot instead of just chubby.

"It looks great!" I yelled, spinning in front of my best friend. She squealed in a girly way as she shoved a pair of aqua heels and a necklace toward me.

"Put these on too," she instructed me. I did as I was told. Anna should be a designer or something, because the outfit looked amazing. I couldn't wait for my date.

After admiring my body in the mirror, I remembered that I still had to put on makeup and do my hair. Luckily, Anna was still here, so she helped me get all gussied up.

When I took in my full reflection in the mirror-- fancy dress, heels, curly hair, and perfect makeup-- I couldn't help but smile. For once, I actually felt beautiful. There was nothing in my image I would want to change.

I felt perfect.

All I could hope was that Will thought I looked good too.

****

Have you ever thought I really like how I look and I wouldn't change a thing when looking at yourself? I did once, when I went to my school dance. I actually felt beautiful. It was amazing. I wish everyone could have that feeling all the time.

Just know that you all are really beautiful. Yes, you may not be beautiful in the same way as someone else, but you are beautiful. And there's someone out there who loves you.

Sending love to all you beautiful people tonight!!
