The One I was looking for

Chapter 6

Paige ⬆️
Emily's POV
...
"So... where are we going?" Alaska asked me.
Right now I just entered the mall with Alaska, Paige, Daisy and Alice. We had no clue where to shop for our dresses. I was also as blank as them.
"I don't know. Why don't we just look around for a while and see if we find anything appropriate?" I suggested.
They all nodded in agreement. We roamed around the mall, there were many stores, and even fast food places. But we had to concentrate on the problem at hand. I had to control my urge to run into the McDonald's and grab any eatable in my sight. Daisy probably noticed me drooling because she said "hey guys, why don't we grab something to eat before we can shop? Dress shopping can be REALLY exhausting." The others nodded their head and mumbled agreement, while I looked at Daisy like she was my fairy godmother.
She looked at me and smirked, "but one thing, Emily is paying for us since she was the one drooling over the McDonald's sign."
I groaned and mumbled "so much for thinking that you were my fairy godmother, you are more like the evil stepmother" my friends chucked at my childishness.
My stomach was very grateful for the Burger that I ate. We all finished eating after an hour or so, then continued with our shopping.
My eyes caught the sight of a marvellous, yet simple dress on a mannequin.
It was blue in colour and had full lace sleeves. I instantly fell in love with it.
"Al! I found it!" I whisper shouted to Alaska. She looked at me with a strange expression. I wouldn't blame her because I might've looked like I was dying of wheezing. She looked at the direction I pointed and smiled.
My other friends also looked at the store and agreed with me. So I did not wait for their response and dragged Daisy into the shop with me.
She laughed at my excitement, "cool down Em! It's not like someone's gonna grab that dress and run away!" Just as those words left her mouth, a sales lady took the mannequin out of display and started taking off the dress. My eyes widened,
I ran towards her "excuse me? Why are you taking the dress off?" I asked Panicked.
She gave me an eye roll "to sell it of course, duh!"
My head was spinning "no! I want that dress! You can't give it to some other ugly bitch!" I yelled. I felt hands drag me back, it was Alaska and Alice.
"What the hell, Emily! What's wrong with you?" Alaska exclaimed.
"I want that dress and that's final" I tried to escape from their hold.
"But it's already paid for young lady!" The saleswoman rolled her eyes again.
I was seriously getting pissed and I really wanted that dress.
I shrugged the hands off my shoulders and adjusted my glasses and pointed my finger to the saleswoman's face "you! Are NOT gonna give that dress to some stupid slut! Understand?" I threatened her.
She gulped and nodded at me, I felt my friends drag me back again with more force, this time I started kicking around, but they wouldn't budge " I want it! Let me go! Let me go!" I screamed.
By now everyone in the store was looking at us, especially me.
"Run! NOW!" Alice yelled at the saleswoman. She nodded her head frantically wth wide eyes and ran off with the dress in her hand. I looked at the dress longingly.
"Now calm down Emily, there are a hell lot of dresses here! We'll search around the store to find the perfect one for you, alright?" Alaska said.
"B-But.." I pouted.
"No buts, you are coming with me to search for the perfect dress, and that's final!" She smiled. I huffed, and pouted.
It's been almost an hour and all my friend found a dress for themselves, I just sat in a corner and rejected all the dresses they suggested for me.
"This one? It looks amazing and also brings out the colour of your eyes!" Paige smiled showing me a light blue asymmetrical dress.
I rolled my eyes "No!" I shrugged.
They all sighed.
Something caught my eye, it was black and had a sweetheart neckline, the top part was covered with black lace and it looked wonderous, I mean wonderful and marvellous. Hehe..
I gasped and ran to the dress, it looked perfect! I took the dress off the hange and showed it to my friends, they had a huge smile on and nodded in approval. I ran into the changing room with the dress clutched in my hand, once I realised that I was clutching it, I cradled it like a new born in my arms.
The dress fit me like a glove, it complemented my slightly tanned skin and my brown hair. I opened the door to reveal the dress.
The all smiled widely and gave me a thumbs up.
I squealed and closed the door to change back. Finally we payed for our dresses and went out to shop for matching shoes. I instantly spotted a pair of gorgeous silver scrappy heels. My friends took their time in selecting their shoes.
I mean, seriously? How much time are they gonna waste? They were acting like total drama queens!
I patiently waited for them inside the store, I fished out my phone from my bag and opened my instagram account, I looked at all the breathtaking desserts and felt my mouth water. I shook my head to control myself. After half an hour, it was over and we were finally heading home.
Alaska suggested that Daisy and Alice could join our sleep over tonight, and both of them agreed.
I was very tierd so I fell on Alaska's bed once we reached her room.
Today was exhausting as fuck! I felt totally drained.
"Em! It's only 7 pm, and you are already ready to go to bed!" Paige complained.
I shrugged "All that kicking and screaming really drained all my energy."
Alaska dragged my leg, making me fall on the ground hurting my prestigious butt.
"Owww... it's okay baby, they're not gonna hurt you anymore." I mumbled to my butt while rubbing to ease the pain.
"This girl is seriously nuts!" Exclaimed Daisy.
I stuck my tongue out at her. I picked up my pj's and stepped into the bathroom. Just then I heard them talk about something "perfect! Now we can have the ice cream all to our selves?" Alaska snickered.
I burst open through the bathroom door and looked around the room to find the ice cream, all of them burst out laughing.
"Haha very funny!" I said sarcastically. Alaska was still giggling but that stopped when I shot her a blank look.
"Don't worry Emily, we have ice cream in the kitchen but I'll give that to you only if you agree to watch Pretty Little Liars re-runs with us." Alaska said.
"Fair enough." I shrugged and agreed to it.
We all changed into our pj's and cuddled on Alaska's huge bed facing the television.
The night went like that and we slowly grew tired and slept.
..
The next morning I woke up early as usual. The other 4 idiots were sleeping soundly.
Daisy was in the corner of the bed, she was about to fall. Alice had drool all over her face and was snoring loudly, I laughed airily. Then Paige was twisted in a weird angle which was almost very painful to look at, I cringed at the position. She will definitely have a back pain if she wakes up. Then Alaska gathered all the blanket together and rolled herself in it. This was one crazy lot.
Suddenly an insane idea popped inside my head. I walked out the door and laughed evilly. I such an evil genius!
I made my way to the bathroom in the hallway, and looked around for a bucket.
I found a small huge bucket, I nodded to myself thinking that it was JUST right.
Then I opened the water taps and waited for it to get fully filled.
Those idiots are so gonna be surprised. I snickered to myself again. Things like this was very common when we were at each others house for a sleepover.
I carried the bucket upstairs with great difficulty. I huffed once I reached the bedroom door. Slowly I opened the door with the bucket in my hand and was ready to pour the contents of the bucket on the bed.
But I was greeted with an empty bed, and I heard some one yell behind me making me pour the water all over myself.
I gasped at the impact of the cold water on my face. My pj's and my hair stuck to my skin, and my mouth was wide open.
The culprits of this crime were rolling on the floor laughing hard. Daisy even started tearing up, making me pout and stomp my feet on the wet floor carpet in anger.
I stormed off into the bathroom and immediately closed the door and slid down the door. Something dry fell on the top of my head, I opened my eyes to take a look at it, it was some kind of a white powder and something clicked inside of my head, I screamed at those doofuses outside the door. They giggled and snickered at me again. The flour stuck to my skin making me feel gross, the worst thing was it was even in my hair. It became gooey, I felt like puking.
I narrowed my eyes and opened the door, everyone's eyes widened, they must've thought that I came out to take revenge but I would do that when they least expected.
For now I grabbed my black bag and returned to the bathroom to clean myself.
I hung my bag on the hooks on the door and turned the shower to test the water temperature. Once I thought that it was warm enough I stepped inside letting the gross and sticky flour wash away from my body.
I fished out my rose shampoo and body wash. I removed my clothes and rinsed it from all the flour and put it in a corner to take care of it later.
I hated washing my hair, because it was too long and thick. My hair came all the way down my waist and It ALWAYS gets stuck in between my butt crack. Urgggghh!!! The struggles of having long hair.
I tried my best to get that mess out of my hair. Every time I thought that it was done, I felt a lump in my hair, it was disgusting as hell! Did those girls even know how much time I take for hair care?
I was almost done with washing my hair successfully when Alaska knocked on the door. "Yo! Emi! Is that water enough or do I have to bring the ocean for you to take bath?" I heard them laugh at their lame joke again.
"You were the ones who put flour in my hair so you gotta deal with this!" I shouted back at them.
Then I took 5 more minutes and got back from the shower and wrapped myself in a fluffy white towel.
My mom packed my bag for me yesterday since I was in a hurry to go to shopping with my friends, so I had no clue what my outfit for today was.
I prayed to god that it will look acceptable in this era.
I was actually quite surprised when I saw the outfit she packed for me. She did have some fashion sense.
There was a mint green crop top and my skinny jeans. I pulled them out and placed on the sink counter to see if there was anything else in that bag. There was even my silver star necklace and my charm bracelet inside it along with my inner wear. I dressed as quickly as possible and got out of the bathroom to see my friends sprawled all across the room like nomads. I rolled my eyes, how more immature can they get?
I clapped my hands once to notify them that I was out, but none of those drama queens spared even a glance. I shrugged and fell on the bed next to Alice.
The door burst open, I lifted my head to see who came in, it was Alaska's little brother Alex. I sat up on the bed and waited for all the others to do the same, but none of those brats did it, Alex started talking "Emily, your mom called and said that she will be picking you up in half an hour so my mom called you guys to have breakfast."
He turned around to leave but turned back and asked "And why is the carpet wet?"
I chuckled and replied "why don't you ask the person who is responsible for this? Cough cough *Alaska* cough cough."
His eyes averted to his sister who was sprawled across the carpet. He scrunched his nose and muttered something before he exited the door.
Alaska opened one eye and looked up at me, I giggled at her. Then she got up followed by Paige and the other two.
"We still haven't taken a bath yet!" Daisy whined.
"And my mom is going to kill me if I sat down on the dinning table without taking a bath!" Whined Alaska.
"I'm sure she wouldn't mind if it's for just today," I shrugged "plus half of us didn't take a bath"
They nodded. We got down the stairs and Alaska went to get her maid so that the carpet can be dried. Then we went down to the kitchen to see Mrs. Bennett cooking something. The sweet smell of bacon filled my nostrils. I eagerly sat down on the dinning table along with my friends and waited for it to be served.
"Good morning kids! How was your stay?" Mrs.Bennet greeted, once she noticed us.
"Just like always! Great!" I replied to her and the other 3 agreed with me.
Alaska's mom served us some eggs with bacon, and we ate it happily.
After eating we all went back to the bedroom to pack our stuff in our bags. I got a plastic cover and dumped all my damp (dripping wet) clothes in it and put it in my bag.
There was no sign of my mom coming, so we decided to play monopoly. I always seemed to loose in this particular game alone.
