Ghost

Chapter 10: Dance Partner

^^^^The Dance That Alex and Jackie Perform^^^^

This week went by really fast. It was already Saturday which meant that today was the day of the party which Alex invited me to.

I called Gianna, Sammy, and Sofia so they could help me pick out an outfit.

I told them when and how he asked me out. I made sure to include every detail, even when he saw me half naked, so they wouldn't push me for more information.

"Wait, so let me get this straight. You lied and told Alex that you haven't been to a party and weren't experienced to its surroundings?!?!?" Gianna practically yelled.

"Yes?" I said back. Well, it came out more as a question than a statement.

"Why'd you lie?" Sammy asked.

I sighed. These girls would know if I was lying so I might as well tell the truth.

"I didn't want him thinking that I was one of those girls who goes to parties and stays out past her curfew. Plus, last time I went to a party I got my parents divorced."

"It wasn't your fault." Gianna sympathetically said.

"Yah." Sammy joined.

I hated when they tried to make me feel better by telling me it wasn't my fault for causing my parents to divorce, when obviously it was. Also, their sympathy annoyed me.

I rolled my eyes.

"Whatever. Anyway, I need help picking an outfit so can you girls help me?"

"YAAAAAAS!!!" Sofia squealed out of nowhere. She hadn't said a word so her excitement took me by surprise. "What? You know I love dressing you girls up." Sofia said innocently.

We all laughed and headed towards my closet. Sofia was the first one there and began destroying my closet.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" I yelled.

"I'm trying to find an outfit for you. Duh."

I rolled my eyes and let her do what she needed to do. She finally found a pink dress that I had totally forgot about.

"This is the dress." Sofia finally said.

I slipped my body into my dress. My friends and I were comfortable about changing in front of one another. It never bothered us.

Once I placed the dress on, Sammy began doing my hair while Gianna began applying make-up on my face. When it came to dressing me up, each girl had a role to play. Sofia dressed me up, Sammy did my hair, and Gianna did my make-up.

Once Gianna and Sammy were done, Sofia handed me black pumps and told me to wear those. I slipped my feet into them and stared into the mirror.

"I look...pretty! Thank you girls."

They hugged me carefully, making sure they wouldn't mess up my make-up, hair, or outfit. After their finishing touches I was finally dressed.
