Meant To Be

Chapter 4: i might spit a giraffe.

It was finally Friday and Tessa, Melanie and me were at the mall to buy ourselves outfits for that night's party.

"Hey, wanna hear something cool?" Tessa blurred out while we were going through a rack full of dresses. I looked at her and she was clearly trying to hold back a smile, and i became super intrigued as to what was the reason to her excitement.

"What?" I asked impatiently, walking closer to her.

"You know Park?" She bit her lower lip.

"The guy you obsess over since freshman year? Yeah." Melanie said arching one eyebrow, waiting for Tessa to finish off.

"Well, he kinda asked me out for a date earlier."

"WHAT?!" Melanie and me screamed at the same time and Tessa nodded proudly.

"He said he'll see me at the party and then tomorrow he wants to take me out for lunch."

"Why you didn't tell us earlier?!"

She shrugged. "I don't know."

"We need to get you the sexiest dress for tonight! And you also need an outfit for tomorrow!" Melanie claimed, and that's on what we spent the following two hours and a half.

"Just remember: if you like it, you buy it. You don't have to worry if he'll like it or not. Dress for yourself." I said as we stood in front of the cashier with a short dark blue dress for Tessa in a bag, and high waisted white jeans and a grey top in her arms ready to be bought. "If you'll feel pretty wearing it buy it."

She thought for a second before leaving both pieces of clothing on the counter. "I'll take them." She told the cashier lady.

Both items paid we got ourselves something to eat, and then we remembered Melanie and me hadn't bought dresses yet.
We spent another hour trying on many dresses.

I couldn't decide on any while Melanie had already chosen a grey one with my and Tessa's help -despite my asking 'do you like being sexually choked' to figure out what would be better for her to wear.
I came across a pair of high waisted black leggings and fell in love with them, and decided they would do. I tried them on with a pair of black heels and loved the way they made my butt look, so i decided i would use both with one of my black tops.

I payed for them and we took an Uber to my house, where we would get ready for the party.
I locked my room's door and we took turns to shower while Blackbear's voice was blurting out from the Bluetooth speakers connected to my IPhone.

While Tessa was putting on her dress, Melanie was about to be ready finishing to curl her hair and i was sitting on my vanity doing my make-up with all my clothes on except for a top.
When i was ready i ironed Tessa's hair as she did her make-up, while we all sang the lyrics to Idfc.

I then chose a black v-neck backless top of mine and put it on, then got my hair on a messy ponytail. We were all ready so we decided to stand in front of my full-body mirror, take a picture and post it to Instagram and then another one for Snapchat.

My dad drove us to the party and when we arrived the house was already packed.
"Alice, take care of your friends." My father said as we got out of his white car, knowing how much of a fierce i was.
