Alice POV

It’s been interesting with Tom. We have been talking a lot more and he told me he was taking me out on this upcoming Saturday somewhere. He said it was a really nice and to be ready.

When I talked to Violet and Sarah about it, they both were really happy for me. And I was happy and excited too. But I was upset with how James was reacting.

I felt like every step closer to Tom, the more distance it put between James and me. And I didn’t like it at all. And I don’t have a clue why. I would think that he would want me to become friends with people but I guess to him, I couldn’t.

James ended up barely talking to me. I would see him in study hall and try to start a conversation but he would either say he couldn’t talk. I tried asking what was up, but he would just shrug me off and say it’s nothing. I tried not thinking about James situation too much and just tried being happy. But it would only work for so long.

But lucky for me Saturday came rolling in before I knew it and my insides had started to freak out. Violet and Sarah had come over before the date, planning on helping me get ready.

 “Gosh, there is nothing good to wear,” I groaned desperately falling on the bed filled with outfits that weren’t good enough. I watched as Sarah just rolled her eyes while Violet put her hands on her hips.

Although the date time was three and half hours away, I still didn’t know what dress I wanted to wear. He had given very little details saying it must be a surprise. But I managed to get dress nice, causal and comfortable.

“You’re such a drama queen,” Violet said while looking at her sister for help.

Sarah nodded, “Yea, everything is going to be fine. We’ll find the perfect outfit, don’t worry about it.”

“There is nothing I could find that seems perfect,” I said frustrated while running a hand through my hair.

Violet rolled her eyes and walked towards my closet, “There’s got to be something that will work…” She began looking through my clothes and biting her lip.

“What about this one,” she asked. I sat up to see her holding out a white sundress with tiny straps. It had one side of the bodice draped over the other side and lace towards the middle of the dress making it seem fancier and unique. And when she twirled the dress, it had a bow in the back making it seem cuter and more innocent.

I cocked my face, absentmindedly saying, “Where you find that…”

Violet smiled and set the dress on the bed, “Well, we have the dress. Now it’s makeup and hair time!”

I widened my eyes as Violet directing me, making me pop into my desk chair in front of all my makeup stuff and hair. Violet started doing my makeup while Sarah worked on my hair. I sat in the chair quietly for what it felt like hours before Violet and Sarah pulled away happy with their work.

“Okay, I think we’re doing; now go try on the dress,” Violet said hurriedly before shoving me towards the bathroom.

I smiled and ran to the bathroom to go try it on. I slipped out of my shorts and shirt and quickly put on the dress. I adjusted the dress before glancing in the mirror.

I gasped realizing that for once I thought I looked really good in a dress. And not only that, my makeup and hair looked absolutely breathtaking. I had my hair nicely curled with natural but noticeable makeup on which really complemented the dress. I felt like the girl in the mirror wasn’t me but another girl. This girl looked sweet and beautiful and I couldn’t believe it was me. I walked out of the bathroom and to my room to see my best friends mirroring my shock.
