Different

Chapter Six

I glance down at my outfit and becoming very disappointed. There is no way I can go out and meet some guy in the plain ole outfit I have on. Who impresses anyone with a stupid tshirt and jeans?

“Hey, do you have anything I can wear tonight? I wanna wear something different than just my usual,” I ask Macy this, hoping she will let me borrow something tonight. She usually does, but you never know with her.

 I turn around and see her fishing through her closet, which is a good sign.

“How about this?” She pulls out a super short, skin tight black dress with an open back. I swear this could be a stripper outfit.

“Um…I’m gunna have to say no on that one.” I quickly take it from her and shove it back into the dark place it came from.

“Okay, this one’s kinda cute!” This time she pulls out a burgundy dress that is tight on top and flares out at the bottom. It surprisingly has a three quarter length sleeve, so it’s perfect to wear out in the chilly weather.

Is it weird how I think I just feel in love with a dress? Well I just did because this outfit is gorgeous, and I am definitely wearing it tonight. 

“Love it!” I take the dress from her grasp before holding it up in front of me and looking at myself in the mirror. This dress literally could not get any better, and who ever this guy I’m being set up with is for sure going to like it.

“Yeay!” I hear Macy cheer behind me. “I knew you would like this one. I feel like it has your name written all over it!”

“It really is amazing! Thanks, Mace!”

Quickly, I replace my towel I had wrapped around myself after taking a shower with the dress I have just received from Macy. I take another look at my reflection and smile due to accomplishment. This is probably the first time I have actually felt at least some what pretty since I came here. The one I refuse to speak of really tok my confidence and stomped all over it until it was nonexistent, so it's nice to look in the mirror and feel good for once. 

“Damn you look hot, Rachel!” I turn around and see my cousin practically checking me out. I’m actually very flattered by her comment. 

“Why thank you! You know it doesn’t take much for me to look this good.” I throw her a wink before making my way to the bathroom to dry and straighten my hair because I don’t have enough time to let it air dry like I usually do.

“So are you excited about meeting this new guy? You need honestly need someone in your life,” I hear Macy say back in our room. A scowl appears on my face. 

What makes her think that I need some guy in my life? It makes me angry that she said something like that knowing what happened before I came here. She seems way to oblivious though and distracted by her new boy to even notice what she's saying to me. 

“Um okay? And why do I need someone? I think I am doing just fine as I am?” I question her. She doesn’t respond once she hears me turn on the hairdryer.

“Well you know…a girl always needs a guy to make her feel special and all that! Plus, how can you go without making out with a guy for as long as you have?” She tries to explain herself as I walk back in the room with my now dry and straightened hair.

Seriously? Can she just shut up already? I am about to cancle my plans of going out with her, no matter how good I look in this dress. I think I know something that will keep her quiet.

“I don’t think that’s true. I’m not like you! I can go more than a month or so without a male’s attention,” I smirk after saying this. She doesn’t really see it though, which is fine with me because I know for a fact she will say something about how rude I am.
