Chapter 1, part 2: Helpless

Eleanor's P.O.V.

"How about this one?"

"No."

"Then this one!"

"No."

"Oh my Disney! What do you say about this one!?"

"No!" I groaned as I stood in a clothes store with Carina.

"Girl, you are killing me! Just pick something to wear already!" she told me as she put the dress she was holding back to it's place.

Right after I called Carina we headed outside to shop for me for tonight. I may sound picky but I'm actually pretty easy to shop when it comes to clothes because I don't really care. I'll go into a store to buy a shirt and the best one I see in the same store, I'll buy it. Same with pants, same with shoes, same with hats and same with one pieces. The only problem are skirts and especially dresses. Simply because I can't stand skirts and dresses! It's just not me. I don't hate them on other people, I might even compliment on their choice of clothing, but I don't feel good wearing them myself. And now I have to buy a dress for tonight? With uncomfortable heels and tons of fake, ugly, uncomfortable makeup? This is going to be a hard day...

"Fine! Get me something simple and monocolour and I'll just wear some leggings underneath to feel better." I said then as I rolled my eyes. I hate shopping so much.

"Ugh, you're so stubborn. Wait here." Carina told me as she left for who knows where to probably find me a dress acceptable for tonight.

As I waited I grabbed my book from my backpack so as to continue reading it and maybe finally find out how it ends! The world around me started to vanish as I got lost in the pages of my book. All the non-fictional emotions created by very fictional characters took over my body once more. Reading felt great, that moment felt great...

"Okay, you are gonna like what I found!" my best friend's voice brought me back to reality, ruining the moment.

"I highly doubt that but whatever." I replyed as I placed my Doctor Who bookmark in my book and put it back in my backpack.

"50 bucks say you're wrong." Carina smirked challenging at me.

I raised a brow at her. Was she serious? She couldn't be, she knows I dislike dresses. "There is no way you found a dress I will like and I'm willing to bet those 50 bucks on it." I said then.

"Okay, how about this, if you love, not like, but love this dress then you will take a picture of Jason Todd tonight at the charity ball for me. If you don't like it then I'll give you my Tropical Mega Battle 2001 Cloyster card." Carina smirked at me sure of what she was doing. My mouth fell open as I stared at her in disbelief.

"You are betting your Tropical Mega Battle 2001 card?! You're on! I have never liked a dress in my life! I'm going to have one of the rarest Pokémon cards ever!!!" I cheered in victory already as I agreed on her deal.

"Peter Pan deal." she said, causing me to roll my eyes. Of course she'd make this a Peter Pan deal... Carina and I have this thing when we will do a Peter Pan deal when something is either super serious and we have to be completely honest with each other or if we make a sacred promise we can't break. Breaking a Peter Pan deal for us is like ending our friendship. It's stupid, I know, but we both have trust issues so I think it's good for our friendship.

I spit on my hand and extended it for her to shake it as she also did the same thing. We shook hands as our saliva touched and may I say that the Peter Pan deal is the most disgusting thing I ever do in my life.
