Damaged [Brandon Ingram]

One.

Three months earlier.

"Ky! Would you look at this one, it's so pretty" Madison cried from the other side of the store. I giggled and quickly rushed to her side to see what she was holding.

"It is indeed pretty," I commented as my eyes scanned the dress she was holding. It was a navy blue dress that stopped mid thigh and had a deep cut.

She pushed the dress onto my chest which I quickly catched with my hands to prevent it from falling. "Try it on,"

"No thanks, I don't wear dresses" I said as I scanned the dress once again. Madison always tried to let me wear sexy and fancy clothes, but I never gave in. Madison wears that kind of clothes, but it just doesn't seem comfortable to me.

"C'mon, I finally convinced you to go to a party with me and I'm definately not going to let you leave like that," she said as she looked me up and down. I followed her actions and thought there was nothing wrong with what I was wearing. I wore a casual dark blue jeans with a black long sleeved shirt.

I just shrugged and hung the dress back between the others. "Well, I'm not wearing that"

"Fine," Madison said as she turned around to look for something else. I know she meant it good, I'm just very different compared to her.

I have always been too normal. At least, that is how people discribe me on a daily basis. I wear normal clothes, do normal things, nothing dangerous or nothing that I shouldn't been doing. I never drink, smoke or do other bad stuff. Also, I've never had sex in my life.

On the other hand, Madison did almost everything I didn't do. She smoked weed occasionally, she went to parties and had sex with different boys. No, she wasn't a slut, but compared to me she was wild.

This night her cousin will throw a party and she said it will be a casual party. Like, no drunk or high people all over the place, I hope. She really wanted me to go so I thought let's do it for her. I'm still not going to drink or whatever, so it wouldn't hurt.

"But," I said as I approached my best friend again. "I promise you can choose my outfit tonight, from my closet"

She smiled widely and gave me a hug, "Wait, please let me get you something from my clothes too,"

I gave her a stern look, I know what she wears and I prefer not to wear that. She is the one that gets the attention from boys and I think it's better to stay that way.

"You will like it, I promise, and otherwise you just can say no and go in your jeans" she smiled eventhough I know she will never let me leave in these jeans. Oh well, I guess I should just trust her.

"Okay," I said smiling and I immediately felt better as I noticed her reaction, she was beyond happy.

"Well, let's go home! We have a lot of girl things to do, gosh I'm so excited" she said as she grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the store.

"No! I swear you look gorgeous" Madison almost shouted after I told her my doubts out loud. I was standing in front of the mirror, looking at myself with a frown on my face. Madison made me wear denim shorts with a beige tank top that was cut too low for me.

"I don't know... it's so revealing" I said as I stared at my body.

"So? You got an amazing body for sure. Plus, a girl can show off her assets" Madison tried to cheer me up, but to be honest it didn't really work.

"How about.." She trailed off as she searched through my closet. "You put this jacket on top of it,"

She handed me a black denim jacket and I gladly took it from her. "Way better" I smiled as I put it over my shoulders.

"Great! Now let's take a selfie, I want to send it to James" she said as she reached for her phone. I furrowed my eyebrows slightly at the name she called out.

"Who is James?" I asked confused.

"Someone I met..." she said as she played with her hazel coloured hair. Madison always had men around her, but I couldn't blame them. She had a light caramel skin and with a perfect curvy body. She was quite small as well and had green eyes what made her looks complete.

Me on the other hand, I had a darker skin and dark brown afro hair with matching eyes. I was taller than her as well, quite tall compared to the women around me. Unfortunately, I didn't like my body at all. My boobs were pretty small compared to my behind, what I found disturbing. The only thing I was a bit proud of were my legs, because they were long.

"You never told me about him," I replied, posing for the picture.

"I know, I don't know him that long myself" she answered after she took the picture. "It's cute"

"We are always cute together," I smiled while throwing my arm around her shoulder. "Send it to me too,"

"I will," she said while grabbing her jacket as well. "Now let's go, I want you to meet James"

A small laugh left my lips and I linked our arms. "Let's go"
