"Did you just roll your eyes at me princess?" He asked leaning down to my level and inching closer and closer to my face. His eyes swirled with clots of green and sparks of gold as he stared down at my lips.
"Stop calling me that!" I pushed back.
He...

I called my mum and let her know that I would be going out later with Charlie and that I'd just stay at her house afterwards. Weirdly my mum didn't question my whereabouts, she just said "have fun sweetie" then hung up. I guess she's happy I'm actually doing something on a Friday night for once.
"So, I've got a few dresses in my wardrobe that you can choose from, some of them might be a little loose on you but I have a few from when I was smaller." Charlie said racking through her tornado of clothes and leaving them on the floor.
"A dress, seriously?"
She looked me dead in the eye with a blank face, "trust me, I know what I'm doing. Once I'm done you won't even recognise yourself."
"Sounds good." I mumble but she doesn't hear me.
Charlie lays out a few dressed on the bed next to me. I wouldn't call them dresses though, more just pieces of fabric that barely cover anything. Charlie is in the zone though as she looks everything out so I keep my mouth shut.
Most of the dresses are either black or red, both two daring, out there colours that I defiantly couldn't see myself in. One of the dresses, a navy-blue colour with lacy sleeves, it wasn't as short as the others so I picked it up.
Charlie smiled, "that'll look great with your hair." She sat me down at her dressing table and got to work on my face. Pulling out tubes of lipstick and applying different creams to my face. I tried to mentally keep note of where she put each thing but I lost count after powder. She then untangled my famous messy bun and started brushing through my thick long tangled hair. She lightly curled it and applied some hair spray.
I was then ordered to go change in the bathroom as she started doing her own makeup quickly.
Once I left her room I slammed into a stone wall of a human, Tom, Charlies older brother. I used to play video games with him when we were younger but since growing up and him getting a girlfriend we sort of drifted apart. He was always like an older brother to me.
"Alexa?" he asked confused, "sorry I just didn't recognise you with the makeup, you could definitely catfish someone btw" he says smiling.
"I agreed to go out with Charlie."
"I can drop you's off and come pick yous up again after if you want." He asks.
"Um, yeah thanks if that's okay with you." I say, not wanting to interrupt his plans or anything.
"I'd rather I drove you's safely home than you both ending up in one of those assholes cars that drive like lunatics. You's have gotta be careful tonight okay." He says.
"Charlie goes out all the time I think we'll be okay." I say wandering towards the bathroom with the dress in hand.
"Yeah and she always ends up in some kind of trouble." He mumbles.
I tried on the dress which fit surprisingly well and was actually really flattering on my body. I twirled in the mirror and flicked my hair back and forth. I actually looked really nice thanks to Charlie. It was good having a friend that was kind enough to help me do all this girly stuff. I snapped a few pictures of myself before grabbing my previous clothes and going back to see if Charlie was nearly done.
When I walked in Charlie was basically ready. Makeup done. Dress on. And hair partly curled. She was wearing a skin-tight spaghetti strap dress and her hair was curled really tightly, she looked great.
"You look amazing!" she says and she smiles excitedly.
"Thanks to you, you look really great as well." I say.
"You ready for this?" she says, flashing a daring smile as she finishes curling her hair.
"As ready as I'll ever be." I mumble. A little voice in the back of my head whispered for me to go home, the nerves started kicking in. But instead of reaching for my stretched-out jumper and thick glasses I swatted the thoughts away.
Tonight, I'm going to let loose and try have a good time. I was determined.
