Chapter 8

Later that day, me, Lydia, Ivy and Erica went dress shopping. Stiles and Derek brought us and told them to meet them back at the car in 2 hours. They were going out shopping like a married couple.

The way we operated was each of us had a go of trying on four dresses and the other girls would judge which one was the best. Erica went first.

The first one was a short,strapless,skin tight black dress with black roses along the top of it. It really suited her but it wasn't very school dance-ish. The second was a long black, one shouldered gown with sequins going from the shoulder across the top and down the side. It was perfect for her but going by the rules we had to see the other two. The third was a horrible purple one that came to her knee. It was so awful Lydia begged her to take it off. The last on was a plain cream one that was a three quarter length.

"Definitely the second one" Lydia told her. Ivy and I nodded in agreement. Erica went back into the dressing room to get changed.

Stiles walked into the shop while she was changing.

"Hey where's Derek?" I asked.

"Uh he's paying for something, we have to get a tux now and I'm kinda nervous. Especially with Derek helping me" He sighed.

"Don't be, maybe you can try and get Derek one as well" I chuckled. Stiles laughed.

"Yeah sure, do you know where they sell tuxes?" He asked.

"Yeah at the other end of the shop, don't forget to come and show us all the tuxes you try on" Lydia smiled at him. He nodded. Just then Derek walked in. He looked at the dressed I had in my hand.

"Hey Jen show me that one at the back" He said. I lifted it up a little confused. He shook his head.

"No" he said and he walked away with Stiles. I rolled my eyes and went to get another dress.

The next person to go in was Ivy. The first dress she tried on was a white one that was short in front and long in the back. It made her look really pretty but I imagined her in something pink. The second one was a long red one that slit up the side. It was far too sexy for her. Derek ran over while she had it on and practically shoved her back into the dressing room for her to take it off. Then he waited to make sure she took it off and then he put it back and warned her not to wear it. The third dress was a long baby blue one that went out like a princess dress and it had puffy sleeves. It looked like she was going to be in a play or something. The last one was perfect it was a short one with silver sequins all over the top half and the bottom half had a flowy pink skirt.

"That one, that's the one you should wear" Erica beamed a little too excited.

Then Stiles came over in a tux that was 3 times his size.

"Oh honey no" Lydia patted his arm and sent him back. We could faintly hear Derek say 'I told you'.

I went in next. My first one was a long dark blue strapless one. The second one was a short navy one that the skirt went out on. I felt slightly uncomfortable in it, it was kind of revealing at the chest area too. Derek looked over and shook his head. The third one was a short black one with a sweetheart shape on top. It had a dark green design on the front. The skirt was perfect length as well. The third one, was a short, long sleeved white dress that had sequins all over it.

"Okay the third one was perfect on you" Lydia said.

"Yeah I love it Jen" Ivy smiled. Stiles walked over in a really nice tux and nodded.

"I like it Jenna" he smiled.

"Thanks same to you" I winked. He looked down at his tux and blushed. He lifted up an undone dickey bow. I laughed and began to do it up for him.
