"What about this one?", Zoe asked me pointing at a dress which was a shade of green which looked like someone pucked all over it.
"Seriously Zoe?", that looks like something my grandma might pick out".
"We have been here for two hours already and neither one of you have chosen what you will wear", nagged Zoe.
"Guys I think I found the dress!", Crystal said excitedly as she walked out of the changing room. She was wearing a short, tight dark purple sleeveless dress.
"oh my god that's gorgeous!" I said to her.
"Crystal you look so hot", Zoe nodded her head in approval. "One down one to go". Zoe said looking at me.
"Don't worry I'm sure we'll find you something", Crystal reassured me. "We will all be looking great, I'm so excited for tomorrow!". She called out from the changing room.
She paid for the dresses and then we went to Zara to look for something for me to buy.
After another hour of searching the mall I still couldn't find something I liked. Luckily Crystal and Zoe bought some pretty shoes to wear which matched their outfits.
"Guys it's fine let's just leave, I'll just borrow something from my sisters closet", I said trying to hide my frustration. After reassuring them it was OK we headed for the exit.

Dad and I made lunch since mum was at Ms.Brown's house most of the day getting everything ready for tomorrow. Just as he was setting the table mum came in the the door.
"Hello, wow it smells delicious". She put her bags on the couch and came into the dinning room.
"Gazelle helped me make spaghetti. I hope it tastes as good as it smells", replied dad. mum kissed me on the cheek and went to wash her hands.
"How was your day honey?" My dad asked my mum.
"Chaotic to be honest the stupid flower company bought in pink roses when we clearly asked for red. I had to take matters into my own hands and drove to nearly every shop I could find to collect 300 roses and the roads were so crowded since Christmas is tomorrow". Mum said as she sat down. "But at least everything is sorted now all I have left to do is go tomorrow morning to check that the food we will serve for lunch isn't messed up too".
I'm sure everything will work out", my dad said trying to comfort her. "What time should I pick Lilly up from the airport?"
"At eight in the morning, at least she'll have time to get ready for the party since it starts at one thirty".
I went to my room and took a shower so that my hair looks nice for tomorrow, then got changed into my comfy PJ's, ready to start reading this new book I bought.
My mum came into my room carry something in her hand. She then sits on the bed beside me.
"Hi mum what's that?", I say curiously putting my book down.
"Well since you didn't buy anything to wear for tomorrow I decided to buy you something to wear and also as an apology for being caught up with work lately. Here open it."
"Aww thanks mum." I said opening it, inside lay a silky black dress. I held it up in front of me it, was tight till my hips then puffy at the bottom, it reached above my knees.
"Oh my God mum I love it! Thank you". I hugged my mum.
"Your welcome sweetie, but that's not it I also got you some heels, as if I'm going to let you wear your worn out converse which you always wear." She then open the shoe box and passed me these tall shiny black heals with red at the base.
"Wow mum are those Jimmy choo's! Omg they must have cost a fortune", I say stunned.
"Oh don't worry about it, it's time you have a pair of expensive shoes. Try them one."
I slip them on. "They fit perfectly", I say smiling.
"At least now my beautiful daughter has something nice to wear tomorrow, and Lilly can do our make up for us."
"Thanks so much mum, I can't wait for the party".
"Your welcome sweetie, I'm glad you like them".
