fuck.

i wish i could zip up this stupid dress for this stupid dinner.

i swear of this whole dinner is about the twins' parents getting a promotion or some dumb shit like that, im suing.

i sigh in frustration, plopping onto my bed. my mother comes into my room, a cheeky smile plastered onto her face.

"hey mom," i mumble, looking down at my shoes, "will you help me zip up my dress?"

she walks towards me, standing me up off of my bed, "of course, sweetie," she pats my back, signaling she's finished, "after all, this dinner is all about you, you need to look your best, baby."

"excuse m-," i turn around seeing that she isn't behind me anymore and groan in annoyance.

will someone please just tell me what's going on?

"quit touching my hair gray! it was fine before you messed with it," i push my nuesance of a brother out of my way and gaze into the mirror of our shared bathroom, "do you know what this dinner is even about?"

"no, but mom said we need to be well-dressed and be polite and all that shit," he rambles, making quotation marks every other word.

"well, it better not be anything stupid, we could be at a party right now," i style my hair into a quiff, leaving all my dark brown hair nice and evenly raised.

"yeah i know what you mean," he sighs, walking out of the bathroom, into his own room.

i take another look into the mirror and realize that i am in fact-

sweating?

am i nervous? i look around and see the thermostat on our hallway's wall and see that it's above 85°F.

"damnit, grayson, at least try to keep the temperature down a little more, in sweating my balls off," i yell, seeing him pop his head out of his door frame, looking at me.

"or maybe you're just nervous," he winks, sliding his head back into his room, leaving me alone in the hallway.

am i?

no way.

"we're here sweetheart," my mother cheers, eagerly waiting for my dad to park, "phillip, will you park already?"

"erin, im trying to find a spot, i know you're excited honey," my dad sighs, pulling into a parking spot, turning off the engine.

me too dad.

"let's get this over with," i pull my body out of the backseat door, pulling down my red, velvet, knee-length body dress. i sigh and start to walk with my mother and father into the restaurant, keeping my head low.

I stare up at the moon, admiring it, so many craters, beautiful shade of off whi-

"you coming," my father asks, impatiently tapping his foot on the ground.

"ready as ever," i mumble, walking in.

not.
