Sunday starts, I wake up at eight in the morning and crawl out of bed. I walk over to my wardrobe, and pick out a pretty dress that fits my figure. I set the dress, on my bed, and my shoes underneath. Then I go into the bathroom. Kailey and Jackie had apparently already left this morning. After I finish getting ready, I head out my door and into the Great Hall for chapel. When I look in, I see Toby, August, Sterling, Kailey, Jackie, and, believe it or not, Lexi and Luther. I walk over and sit in between Toby and Lexi.
“Lexi, I just wanted to say, I'm sorry if you feel like I'm taking your place or anything in dance. I just know I would feel that exact same way, and it really wasn't my choice. Toby and I were just messing around in the ballroom, when your aunt said I was amazing, I almost told her she was lying. The whole night, all that was going through my head was, I don't stand even a small chance against Lexi, she is a thousand times better than me!” I explain quickly before the service starts.
“Thank you, that means a lot,” Lexi says with a smile.
I don't get the chance to reply, because the preacher starts speaking. His message was on Mary being spoken to by the angel. This happened last year too, he starts at the very beginning of the Christmas story, then, the Sunday before Christmas, he does the Christmas story.
“You look beautiful today,” Toby says, as we're eating lunch.
“But I don't look beautiful any other day?” I ask with a smirk.
“No! That's not what I meant! I mean you look especially beautiful!” Toby explains.
“I know, I'm just messing with you,” I say.
Toby laughs.
“So what do you want to do today?” Toby asks.
“I don't know. I was thinking just a lazy hang out day,” I reply.
“Sounds good. But can we change first?” Toby asks, standing up with his empty lunch tray.
“Absolutely! I can't wait to get out of this dress!” I say.
“But I thought you liked that dress,” Toby says confusedly.
“I do, but there's only so much dress I can handle at one time.”
“Ah, I get it.”
We walk out of the Dining Hall and head to my room.
“See you in a little bit,” Toby says, then walks down towards his room.
I walk into my room, and Kailey and Jackie are there picking out outfits for the afternoon. I look towards my bed, and I already have clothes on my bed. There is a blue and green shirt, and some jeans and boots.
“Guys, what's this?” I ask.
“It's your outfit for when you go hang out with Toby,” they reply.
I smile. “Thanks guys.”
I quickly change my clothes, then head out. Toby happens to be almost to my door when I walk out.
“Ready?” Toby asks.
“Yeah,” I say with a smile.
