That One Summer

That One Summer Chapter 34

Chapter 34

--Mallory-

“Oh my god, I love that dress on you!” Megan gushed. Rachel nodded along with her. I blushed.

“Why? It seems so…slutty.”

I was trying on a white short dress with lace on it. I really loved it, but it was so short.

            “Please! You so have the body for it.” Megan stood up and looked at me in the mirror. “Look how sexy you look. Thomas is going to foam at the mouth when he sees you.”

Rachel laughed and nodded her head. I shook my head.

“Fine, fine, I’ll get it.” I go back to the dressing room and strip out of the dress and put on my jeans and Thomas’ sweater. Totally scrubbing it today while both Megan and Rachel are all cute in their shorts and tank tops. It’s almost summer now, and this weekend its prom, then two weeks after, I am done with high school.

After all three of us pay for our dresses, we head over to the food court.

            “Let’s get our chow on!” Rachel rushes over to the pizza, Megan goes for Subway, and I go for Chines.

            “That’ll go straight to your thighs.” Megan warns us both when we all sit down at the corner booth.

            “Don’t worry, I got a smokin’ body, remember? My boyfriend will foam at the mouth when he sees me in his old sweater and my crappy jeans.” I tuck my bangs behind my ears and pick up my chopsticks and dig in, probably looking like a pig and not caring. I see Megan wrinkle her nose and eat her vegetarian sandwich. Megan eats her pizza with a knife and fork.

I’m such a slob.

“Hey girls.” I look up and see Kelly…with Will. I choke on my Mongolian beef.

“Will?!” I stand up.

“Oh hey Mal! Haven’t seen you since this summer. How’s things?” He hugs me and I just awkwardly stand there. I can see Kelly is pissed that Will and I know each other.

“What are you doing here?”

“I’m here for work and I’m taking Kelly here to prom. You going?”

“Oh…uh yeah.” I am so dumbfounded right now.

“Save me a dance.”

“Uh, yeah.” I say without thinking. Kelly hmphs. I ignored her, stupid bitch.

“Great! Well I gotta go find a pink tie to match her dress. Here’s my number in case you want to hit me up. He takes my phone out of my back pocket, making jump. He punches his number in.

“C’mon William!” Kelly taps her foot. I roll my eyes. I still can’t stand her, no matter how hard I try, I just…no, it doesn’t work.

“Text me!” He calls over his shoulder as Kelly drags him away. I just stare at the spot he was standing at.

“How do you do it?” Megan asks. I slowly sit down.

“Do what?”

“Have all these hot guys fall in love with you. First it was Chris, then Kent, then Thomas, and now this Willy guy?” Megan crosses her arms. “I asked Kent to prom and he said he already asked someone.”

Rachel made a squeaking noise and we stared at her. Rachel turned deep red.

“Hey, Rach, who’s taking you to prom?” I stab a eggroll with a chopstick and nibbled on it, waiting for the bashful Rachel’s reply.
