Chapter 13 -

The dress had a huge brown stain on it.

"I'm so sorry, Caitlyn! I don't know what I was thinking. I was just turning around to grab my scissors and I knocked my coffee over onto the dress. I'm sorry! I didn't think it was right there behind me," Megan apologized, still crying.

"It's okay. We can figure something out," I promised.

"We could go shopping. How much time do we have?" Megan asked.

"An hour..." I started.

"Well then, we better get going. Come on!" Megan ran over to the counter and grabbed her purse.

"What about my hair? What about breakfast?" I started panicking.

"Eat a bigger lunch. Your hair looks fine," Megan grabbed my arm and started pulling me out the door.

"Wait! I need my purse!" I tried to stop Megan.

"No time for that. Besides, I owe you. No more talking. Come on!" Megan dragged me into the elevator.

"Okay. Okay. I'm coming," I replied.

"Shhhhhh!" Megan demanded, pulling me out of the elevator and into the parking lot.

Megan hopped in the car and I got in beside her. She started driving before I even got my seat belt buckled.

...

Later, we arrived at Kohl's. Megan drove around in circles trying to find a parking spot. Finally, she found one that someone had just pulled out of. Then, someone beat Megan to it and took our spot.

"Come on!" Megan screamed, honking the horn.

I laughed. Megan glared at me.

"Get out!" Megan demanded.

"What? Why?" I knew I had crossed the line.

"You go find a dress while I park. Here," Megan handed me her purse.

I opened the car door and ran inside.

Once inside, I ran straight back to the "Women's" section. I looked for about 10 minutes or so and all I could find were some really ugly dresses.

"Find anything yet?" Megan asked, running up to me.

"No. No. And. No." I answered.

"Seriously?! I can find an outfit faster than you!" Megan exclaimed.

"I know! Now, hurry up and help me find something.

About 5 minutes later, Megan walked up to me holding a dress. It was a Chaps Surplice Faux-Wrap Dress. It had a nice dark shade of blue that would make my eyes pop.

"What do ya think?" Megan asked.

"Wow! You're good!" I admitted.

"I know. Now, go try it on!" Megan demanded.

A few minutes later, I came out in the dress. Megan's jaw dropped.

"Too much?" I asked.

"No. It's. Perfect!" Megan squealed.

"Really?" I asked.

"Yes! Now go put on your regular clothes and we can go check out," Megan said.

"What about shoes?" I asked.

Megan held up a pair of Chaps Chelsi Canvas Wedge Espadrilles.

"You are a life saver! How did you know my size?" I asked.

"I'm your best friend! Now, go change!" Megan pushed me back into the changing room.

After I finished changing, we ran up to the register. Megan placed my dress and shoes on the counter.

"Did you find everything okay?" the lady at the counter asked.

Her name tag said Courtney.

"Yes. Thank you," Megan replied.

Courtney scanned my dress and shoes. Megan handed Courtney her credit card.

"You spent over $100 on my dress and shoes!?" I exclaimed.

Megan nodded as Courtney handed her the receipt.

"Thank you for shopping at Kohl's! Have a lovely day!" Courtney handed me the bag.

"You too!" I replied.

"Why didn't you tell me it costed that much?" I asked Megan as we walked out of the store.

"We didn't have time. Besides, I kind of owe you for the other dress and your my best friend," Megan explained.

"I refuse to let you pay for it all! Especially since the other dress was your dress in the first place," I answered.

"You are not paying one dime of this dress or the shoes. How about we share it? That way, I can still pay for it all while being able to use it, too." Megan negotiated.

"Deal!" I got in the car.

...

Once we arrived back at our apartment, I had 15 minutes until Jake would arrive. I ran back into my room and threw on my new dress and shoes.

I walked into the bathroom and looked into the mirror.

"Wow!" I said to myself.

"I'd say," I turned around and Jake was standing there, smiling.
