"Maya it's hopeless. None of them look good on me." I said, tossing what was probably the 50th dress I've tried on. We've gone to basically the entire mall for prom dresses all day and I'm exhausted.

"Honey, they all looked gorgeous on you. Why are you being extra picky? It's huckleberry. He finds everything you wear beautiful." She said from behind the curtain in the dressing room. I can practically hear the eye rolling. She had a point though. Yes,I was being picky. Because I wanted it to be perfect. Lucas asked me to prom exactly two weeks and four days ago. And then, I thought I would have enough to time to find a dress but it's three days away and I have lost hope.

Maya pulled the curtain open so fiercely she looked like a character in a movie where the queen bee is trying on clothes in a boutique. You know what I mean. She already bought her dress since she isn't picky but she is still trying on dresses. I feel like prom is bringing out her girly side. "I should've gotten this one. I think it's way better." She said strutting around and owning it completely. Oh how I envy that so much.

"Just buy that one then choose later. Which ever one you didn't want just return it." I suggested. She turned to look in the mirror and seemed to be considering it. Meanwhile i grabbed my shoes and slipped them back on. I think I've had enough today. My feet hurt and I need a shower. I heard Maya sigh exasperatedly and I turned up to look at her.

She leaned against the dressing room frame and crossed her arms. "You're giving up again aren't you." She shook her head and shut the curtain.

"I'll figure something out. I know I'll get a dress before prom. I just want to go home it's been a long day." I grabbed my purse and put the dresses I tried on back on the rack. "I'm going to head out to the car." I walked passed the cashier and gave her a smile.

By the time I got to the car Maya was already done. She walked out with the dress so I guess she took my advice. She was on the phone with someone and I picked up some stuff she was saying while we were adjusting in the car.

"Yeah all day. . . No. . . Her favorite is purple. . . . Yes I know I just thought I'd remind you geez chill." She rolled her eyes while saying that last comment. I was trying to hear the voice on the other end and it sounded like a man but I couldn't decipher who. My first thought went to Lucas but I shook it off with the thought of why it would be him in the first place. "You know what ill talk to you later . . . The cuckoo is in the clock." I furrowed my eyebrows at the code words and wanted to ask so badly what she was talking about. I didn't want to pry in her business though even though it's my favorite thing to do. I couldn't muster the energy to do it after today.

We drove in silence and said goodbye when I dropped her off at her place. I went home and ran into my mom in the kitchen making dinner that I so desperately wanted. "Any luck today Riley?" She asked when i set my bag down and plopped on the couch. I groaned in response and she sighed just as Maya did. Everyone seems to be annoyed with the fact that I'm holding off. I don't blame them. The only person okay with it was probably my father.

"Maybe it's a sign." He said hopefully. He was sitting at the table helping mom cut onions. "No prom. How about we have a family game night on prom night, eh? Sounds fun right?"

I cringed at the thought Of that actually happening and I decided to take a bath. I got up and moved to my bathroom. I checked my phone for texts and the only ones were from Lucas and Maya.

Lil Peaches
i got surprise for you :))

Me
oh no it won't jump out at me right?¿

The next one was from Lucas. He didn't text me all day because he was doing who knows what so i was glad to see it.

Mr. Cowboy lukey
heard you had a rough day :( sorry I didn't text you my phone was dead and I was working today at the shop. I'm going to make it up to you ;)

Me
oh boy can't wait to see this.

I set my phone down and undressed. Got in the tub and soaked the stress away. . . .

About 35 minutes i decided to get out just in case dinner was done. I got my robe and went to my room.

When I shut my door I automatically felt that something was off. I felt like someone was in here. Or is. I looked at my bed and saw a package wrapped in purple bow ties that immediately made me intrigued. I moved towards it but with caution just in case this was another of Maya's pranks. I picked up the box and examined it. It was heavy but light at the same time. Does that even make sense? Anyway. I wanted to open the box but I was scared another bird will fly at me.

"Like it?" A deep voice came from behind me. I dropped the box and screamed but was muffled by a hand covering my mouth. I turned around to see the intruder and was relieved to see Lucas. Why is he here?

"You asshole! You have me a heart attack." I said taking a seat on my bed. I looked up to him smiling and holding back a laugh. I rolled my eyes and my thoughts landed back on the present. "What's this?" I asked picking it back up.

"Maya told me you were having troubles picking a dress you liked. So I went to buy you one which I hope you'll love. I didn't want you to stress over it anymore princess." He said stroking my wet hair. Butterflies erupted in my stomach and my cheeks went pink.

"You didn't have to go out of your way to get me a dress." I said looking back down at the box. My fingers traced the purple bow tie and Lucas lifted my head to look at him directly.

"You deserve the world princess. Unfortunately I can't do that so the least I can do is get you a beautiful dress for a night that means a lot to you." He caressed my cheeks and now the butterflies were having babies in my stomach. That sounds weird but if you think about it you'll get what I meant.

"I can't wait for prom." I half-whispered and leaned over to kissed him on the cheek.
