A Southern Belle Summer

Hi, my name is Grayson Smith, but everyone calls me Gray. I'm sixteen years old and live on a ranch in Birmingham, Alabama. I just ended my Sophmore year, and will be a Junior next year. Tonight I will be going to an end of the year party at my friend Jason's house. Today was our last day of school, and he throws an anual summer party. So, my best friend Mackenzie, is at my house with me now, so we can get ready together.

"I hear Jason's ready to see you tonight..." Mackenzie said while stepping out of the shower.

Jason is one of my best friends, but he has always had a crush on me ever since the sixth grade. And yeah I like him too, its just i'm scared that if we went out, it might ruin our friendship.

"You don't say," I replied with a smirk on my lips.

"You could atleast give it a try, I mean he's gorgeous, and it's summer time. It's time to go wild and let your hair down." she said.

I began to blush thinking about Jason, and just mumbled, "You think?"

"Totally! Thats why tonight you have to look extra pretty," she said while smirking at me.

All I could think of was, what the heck am I gonna wear, I haven't gone shopping for summer yet, considering summer started 2 1/2 hours ago. With that thought in my head I just ran into my walk-in closet throwing clothes everywhere, trying to find the perfect outfit, for tonight.

At that point, Mackenzie ran in and saw that I was sitting in the middle of my closet, sitting in a pile of clothes. "Whoa... Did your closet throw up or something!?" she said while laughing.

"Shut up! I don't know what to wear, I mean I want to look cute tonight, especially since you said Jason's ready to see me." I said really really fast, since I was getting really nervous.

She just laughed and said, "Calm down, I'll help you pick out something." She looked through the clothes that where still hanging up, and pulled out black shorts that are shorter than mid-thigh with a hot pink flowy top, that the sleeves came to my elbow, and the back was cut out, with black sparkly four inch heels.

"It's perfect!" I squealed, while I jumped up to hug her. I ran in the bathroom to put it on, and the pink looked perfect on my sun-kissed skin, and my flowy, curly brown hair, that comes to the middle of my back.

She ended up wearing white shorts, with a blue burn-out shirt with a white tank, underneath it. It looked great with her blonde straight hair. We both did our make-up together. I putting on a little more eyeshadow and eyeliner on than I normally would. The party was mainly a dance party, so the outfits where perfect for tonight. We put on some sparkly jewelry and started walking downstairs. My room is the only room upstairs. I'm an only child so I have my own room, with a conjointed bathroom.

I hugged my parents goodbye and gave them a kiss on the cheek, and walked out the door with Mackenzie, ready to have a fun night.
