I looked at myself for a while until my phone went off. I grabbed it from my pocket and looked at it. A text from Zack.

"How's the shopping going????"

"You wanna see?" I sent back. And within seconds I got a reply.

"YES!!! Bridgette came over a little bit ago and we want pics!!!" I bit my lip and looked in the mirror.

Why not? I snapped a picture of myself making a pretty ugly face and sent it to them.

"Everything ok in there?" I heard Kenzie's voice ask.

"Yeah, you have to come out and show us!!" Andrea said.

I put my phone away and took a deep breath. Here we go. I opened the door just a little bit scared to see their faces.

"AAAHH!!!" They squealed.

"YOU LOOK SO PRETTY!!" Andrea yelled. I finally looked up into their eyes. Ok... So they like it.

"Do you like it?" Jenn asked.

"Uh... Yeah.... I actually do" I said with a slight smile.

"YES!! Does that mean we can buy it for you?" Rebecca asked.

I hesitated for a little bit and then gave a slight nod.

"YES!! You look beautiful! You really do!" Andrea told me smiling.

"Come out a little bit so we can see it better" Jenn smiled looking to the left. Ok that was weird...

I took a step and heard gasps next to me.

"OH MY GOSH!" I heard an all to familiar voice yell.

No

"You look so pretty!"

Freaking

"I love it!"

Way.

"It's beautiful!"

They didn't.

"Seriously Chlo, you look beautiful."

I clenched my jaw and turned to the left giving the 6 boys in front of me a death glare.

They were all smiley until the saw my face. I stared at Kian, then Trevor, then Jc, then Sam, then Connor.

I could feel the tears in my eyes as I turned around and slammed the door shut. I pushed my clothes off the chair and started crying.

Why, why did they have to do this? I took off the stupid dress and threw it on the floor. My eyes were stinging.

That was my first time in a dress since my parents died. I have to admit, I felt pretty around the girls.

I pulled on my normal clothes.

And of course, the boys had to have shown up then. When I was confident in myself. I know it's stupid, I shouldn't be getting this worked up about them seeing me in a dress but I am. I heard them pounding on my door to open up so I grabbed my phone and opened it. I pushed past them with all my strength and ran out of the store. I ran out thinking nobody would catch me, but that's where I was wrong. Connor was sprinting and he grabbed me.

"Chloe! Wait up"

"NO!! LET ME GO!" I screamed trying to get away.

"NO CHLOE! It's not a big deal!!"

"LET GO OF ME!" I screeched kicking him.

"CHLOE! You're causing a scene people are starting to stare" he whispered just loud enough for me to hear.
