Best Friends? Or More? [EDITING]

Chapter 10

•I feel like I'm waiting for something that isn't going to happen•

"I don't remember agreeing to anything like coming to a party." I complained as Jenna went ransacked my closet.

"Oh honey, we didn't ask you. We're taking you whether you like it or not." Was her reply. I groaned again and sat down on the bed.

"And why did you agree?" I asked Gemma as she put on a red laced dress and zipped it up.

"Because of a certain bad boy neighbour of mine obviously. He's having a get-together with his drug dealer friends and I could not concentrate on my studies with all the loud music and inappropriate comments. When I went over to Kiara's house, Jenna was already there to ask her for the party, so I just tagged along." She shrugged, going to the bathroom.

"It's going to be so much fun." Kiara giggled, putting a little blush on her cheeks. "Zach will be there too and maybe you guys can get closer." She squealed then followed Gemma to the bathroom.

I rolled my eyes. "It's just not going to happen magically you know?"

"Atleast there will be some progress. When have you ever tried hard to get his attention anyway?" Jenna deadpanned.

I huffed and pouted at my best friends. I wonder what they had up their sleeves. They were always unpredictable.

"AHA!" Jenna suddenly exclaimed, making me jump in my seat.

"What?" I asked, eyes wide.

"Why didn't you tell me before?" She accused me.

"Tell you what?!"

"Man, you're an idiot."

"How am I an idiot?!"

"Why didn't you tell me about this gem hidden in the depths of your closet?" She asked, pulling out a dress I hadn't seen in a long time.

It was a simple grey skater dress. I had bought it on one of my shopping expedition with Lara a few months ago. To be honest, I had just bought it for the heck of it because Lara was insisting me to buy something.

"You, my dear, are wearing this. I can't imagine the look on Zach's face when he sees you in this sexy piece." Jenna winked, throwing the dress at me.

"B-But I never wore a dress this revealing." I refused, pushing it towards her.

She rolled her eyes and came to stand infront of me, putting both her hands on each of my shoulders.

"Do you love Zach or not?" She asked, looking me dead in the eye.

I nodded without any hesitation.

"Then you will wear this tonight because you know you will look hot in this and Zach will finally notice you in a different way other than just his bestfriend. You understand?"

I gulped and slightly nodded. Jenna smiled, patted my cheeks then headed towards the dressing table to check on her makeup.

I sighed and picked up the dress. My body was tingling in excitement just thinking of the fact that Zach will finally notice me as a girl. Not his best friend. I tried to calm my rapid heartbeat and quickly slipped out of the robe I had been wearing, and put on the dress.
