Bringgggggg. Bringgggggg. Bringgggggg.

 My phone went off as I tried to reach for it on the nightstand, but only to end up flipping over and hitting my butt on the ground. Well that was going to leave a bruise, I thought. I finally got to my phone and looked at the time it was 10:00 a.m. and a Saturday morning. Oh joy!

I lifted myself off the floor and did my morning routine which consists of; taking a shower, finding an outfit, then fixing my hair. As I did the final brush of my waves I went to my mirror to take a final look. Today I had on a pair of dark wash skinny jeans, a purple v-neck, and some white keds. Satisfied with my appearance I grabbed my phone and wallet then ran downstairs.

Kate was in the living room watching cartoons and mom was cleaning up the kitchen. "Good morning Sophie!" my mom said as I grabbed myself a plate of pancakes.

"Mornin' mom." I said not really wanting to make conversation until I had myself a cup of coffee. I guess mom noticed and came over and set down a steaming cup of coffee. "So what do you have planned for today?" my mom asked me. Just as I was about to answer I got a text:

Oh and wear something rather fancy.. Try going to that little boutique down the street :)

It was from Hunter. Ugh so now I had to go out and pick a completely different outfit out for tonight. Absolutely great. But why does he want me to got to that store down the street?

"Good news mom," I said sarcastically. " Turns out I have to go out and pick a completely different outfit out for tonight."

"So I guess that's what you'll be doing today." she said. "Oh and Sophie Mr.Brown called from your job and said that your days will be Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays." I tried to remember who Mr. Brown was and then it clicked. He was the guy who owned the StarBuck's I applied at. He had told me to give him a week to sort out the schedules so I guess I was "officially" in now.

"Ok mom, That's great! I'm just gonna go try to find a dress for tonight then. See you later." I said washing my plate in the sink. I grabbed my keys and headed outside. I saw my little beetle in the driveway and my face immediately lit up. Once in the car I sat there wondering where to go to buy a dress. Then I remembered he wanted me to go to that store. For some reason I could never remember the name of it So I just pulled out of the driveway and headed down the road. 

It was about a 5 minute drive and I pulled up into the parking lot. I had never been inside of it but it looked really cute!

As I stepped inside it was the most gorgeous store I had ever seen. There was this huge chandelier hanging in the center of the room and the floor was wood covered in different fur rugs here and there. I was surprised to see no one in there but then shrugged it off because It was around lunch time. I went to a rack and saw this beautiful dress. It was a nude color and fell all the way to the floor. I thought this was the one until I looked at the price tag.

I never knew a tag could have so many zeros! I started looking around only to end up finding all the other dresses were around the same price. I was about to give up and walk out when somebody tapped my shoulder. When I turned around it was one of the workers. He had fitted black jeans on and a black vest over a maroon shirt.

"Are you Sophie Green?" he asked me. How does he know my name? Should I tell him yes or no?

"Uhmm, yeah that's me?" I said not sounding to sure of myself.

"Follow me." he said walking off towards the counter. When I got there he was pulling out  two white boxes and setting it on the counter. I took in the sizes and one was bigger and longer and the other was smaller and shorter.

" I believe these are for you." he said pushing the boxes towards me.

"Uhm, no thank you." I said pushing them back.

" They are already paid for miss." he said walking around the counter and placing them in my hands. He gave me a friendly smile then went to the back where the fitting rooms were. I ran out to the car eager to know what was in the boxes.

I opened the small box first and inside was a pair of shiny stilettos! They were gorgeous, but I was really bad at walking in heels. I set the box in the passengers seat and opened the big box. In there was the most gorgeous dress I had ever seen. The dress was a plum color and had a beaded belt running under the bust. It had two straps to make it a halter dress and draped all the way down towards the floor. I didn't have to look at the price tag to know this had cost a fortune. Just as I was putting up the dress I got a text:

Did you like it?

I couldn't believe Hunter had bought the dress and shoes for me! So I replied with:

No, I didn't like it.

Oh :(

I loved it! :)

Almost gave me a heart-attack. So glad to hear you loved it! Be ready at 6:00 :)

Haha ok, see you then.

I was still running good on time. I had about two hours until Hunter came to pick me up and I had just stepped out of the shower, again. When I got home I found out that mom had gone out with some friends for the night and wouldn't be back until Sunday morning. Then one of Kate's friends had come by to pick her up and she wouldn't be back until Sunday morning, too.

So it was just me for the night. I put on my robe which was so fluffy and warm, and went to go do my hair. First I blow-dried it then I decided I would spice it up a bit and went to go find my curler. Perfect! I said after finishing the last curl. It wasn't all curly. I guess you could say It was semi- wavy/curly if that even makes sense. Next step was makeup. I put on a dark plum eyeshadow with some back eyeliner and mascara.

I didn't put on any blush because my cheeks were naturally red. Yay me! Then I put on a nude lipstick to contrast with the dark clothing and makeup.

After I was done with my makeup I glanced at the clock, 5:30. I had a good thirty minutes left so I ran to go put on my dress and shoes. As I slipped the dress on in hugged me perfectly and felt so good against my skin. I put on the heels and went to go look in the mirror.

Never in a million years would I have pictured myself in this outfit! All of a sudden the doorbell rang and pulled me out of my trance. I took one last look in the mirror and did a little twirl. I grabbed my black clutch and put my credit card, lipgloss, and phone in there then walked towards the stairs. Just as I was about to step down my foot slipped and I tumbled down the stairs. Then everything just went, dark.
