Pulling up to the mall, I start to feel much better about the situation. I mean I can't really dwell on my life when I will be seeing Mikey and the boys in a month, and spending loads of time with them. I have a great life and I always ruin it by thinking negative and being so uptight.

As me and Luxo step out of the car and into the mall I am hit with a faint aroma of fruit mixed with a bit of spice. I look to my left and see new shop that has just moved in. There was a lot of people inside and balloons all around it. I looked at Luxo and nudged her in the direction of the shop as we walked to it. As we step inside it is nothing like I have ever seen. Rows and rows of shelves with a variation of dresses, jeans or shirts hanging from the rails. The place is decorated in mostly pink and there is music playing in the background. The shop is filled with cheap looking girls caked in fake tan.

A notice a section towards the back with a more classy look to it. I start to walk towards it, Luxo in the midst of all the chaos in the middle of he shop. As I approach the rails I notice a little black dress towards the front of the rail. I pick it up and take a closer look. There is low turtle knock shape at the top and it is a slim fit, giving me the idea that It will hug all of the right places. It stops just before the knees. I have to say, this is one of the best dresses I have ever seen.

"Can I help you m'am" a high pitched voice snaps me out of my trance.i quickly place the dress back onto the railing and look up to see a middle aged women wearing all black except the little jacket that she has on, probably from this store. "No thanks, I was just looking" I say stepping back from her a bit, distancing the space between us. "Well this little number" she says while picking up the dress I had previously been looking at "is half price because you are the first to pick it up. Normally the girls who shop here go for a more trashy look and you look like a sophisticated women" she says while holding the dress up in front of me. "And, it is perfect for you. It even matches your skin colour." She says giggling.

10 minutes later and I am with Luxo walking to the food court. I someone managed the women into talking me into buying that dress, it was beautiful I have to say. I am planning on wearing it on mine and Mikey's anniversary in a couple of weeks.

"Hey Luxo" I say while we find a table. "Yeah Becky" "do you think that when we see the boys, that maybe -maybe he won't like me anymore? Like what if i have changed and I haven't noticed?" I say haphazardly. "Hey Becky! What do you mean! He is absolutely head over heals for you. Why wouldn't he want you or love you anymore? You need to stop thinking like this. You need to be more positive. You have been with the boy for nearly 4 years now. Nothing will change." Luxo says while grabbing my hand for comfort.

"Now c'mon girl, let's get some food before I die of hunger" she pulls me along to the nearest food chain.

As we arrive back home, I drag Luxo into my room and show her the dress I bought today. I tell her that I am planning on wearing it for mine and Mikey's 4 year anniversary. All night we just watch movies and talk about graduating. It's so scary to think that all of these years of school and uni will soon be over, and I will be traveling with my beloved boyfriend for months all around the world, and not to mention them routing with One Direction, yet again.

"Right Becky, help me find something sexy to wear to get Luke's attention." Luxo says chuckling. "So you really like him then Luxo, I thought I would never get it out of you" I say laughing and walking to my wardrobe. "So what's the agenda. What do yo want to look like when you meet your man for the first time?" I ask while rummaging through my wardrobe.

"Something sexy yet casual. But not like i am trying to hard. Something simple, yet effective." Luxo informs me while playing with her fingers, obviously nervous about meeting Luke, her 3 year crush, for the first time ever. "Are you nervous?" I ask while picking a few things out from my closet. "He'll yeah! What if he thinks I am ugly, or he laughs at me when I try to get his attention, or what if I fall I front of him?" She blabs on starting to get worried.

"Listen Luxo, he will love you, even if not as a girlfriend, but as a best friend. Either way. He won't be able to get his eyes off you. Now, what about this?" I say holding up an outfit I just scrambled together. "Perfect" she sighs out.

This will be a long wait for her. A few more weeks and her life could be spun around without her even knowing.
