Where is Your Heart? // Jason McCann

Chapter 1

Autumn

"Come on Autumn! You need to get out and have some fun once in a while!" my friend Amy said.

"Going to a club, getting drunk, and grinding on some random guy is not my idea of fun!" I protested.

"Well you need to get away from your studies and live life for once!" my other friend Emily said.

"My studies are helping me get to college!" I argued.

My friends want me to go to some club with them, but I don't want to. Plus, I have nothing to wear.

"Come on! With your grades and achievments, you're definitely going to college! You don't need the extra studies!" Emily said.

"But there's a big test in Physics and I need to study!" I protested.

"You already know everything there is I know about that class! Come on! Just this one time!" Amy pleaded.

I sighed, knowing they wouldn't give up. "Fine."

"Yes!" they exclaimed and dragged me to my closet.

"No. No. No. No." Amy said as she threw some of my dresses out of my closet.

"Perfect!" Emily said and took out a dark blue, skin tight, strapless dress. It was the bridemaid's dress for my aunt's wedding.

"But that's-"

"You're wearing this and that's final!" Emily insisted.

"Go put it on!" Amy squealed.

I rolled my eyes and went into my bathroom. I slipped my hoodie and sweat pants off and put the dress on. I stepped out of my bathroom.

"Can one of you guys get the zipper please?" I asked.

Emily zipped up the zipper and I turned to face them.

"Oh my God you look amazing!" Amy and Emily squealed.

I looked at myself in the mirror, I looked alright. The dress showed some skin, but not too much, and it went to my mid-thighs. After making sure my dress was alright and didn't show too much, Amy and Emily did my hair and make-up.

"You should wear these heels with it!" Amy suggested and took out a pair of sleek black heels.

"No! I don't wear heels! Unless its a special occasion." I said.

"This is a special occasion!" Emily said.

"No it's not!"

"Come on! Please?!" Amy begged.

"No! I might've agreed to go to the club, wear the dress, and a shit-load of make-up, but I am not wearing heels!" I protested.

"Fine." Emily sighed.

I smiled in success and slipped on my best pair of black sandals. Emily and Amy got ready and we left. My mom was at work, that's the only reason why we're able to pull this off.

When we got to the club we waited in line.

"Ugh, this is gonna take forever!" Amy whined.

"Well this sucks, but since the line isn't moving lets go!" I said and made an attempt to walk away, only to be pulled back by Emily.

"Nuh uh, we're getting in there." She insisted and walked up to the guard at the entrance.

We followed her and watched as she got on her tip-toes to whisper something to him. He smiled and nodded, stepping aside to let us in. Emily smiled and success and we walked in.
