A Bitter Pill To Swallow

~ I v o r y ' s P . O . V ~

This dress was... small. Short (for me), tight, low top, everything I was not. Intense, is probably the word. It was a hot fiery red that clung to all my small assets and made them more noticeable. The no shoulder thing made me feel exposed, especially with the large V that dipped into my chest. Even though my arms were covered by the dress, it still felt like nothing was on. I really hope I don't have a nip slip tonight...

"In the name of Jesus Christ and all things holy!" Sophie blubbered at the sight of me in Cady's dress.

"This dress is everything but holy..." I muttered, looking at the person in the mirror. She is not me, but luckily that's what I want. "Is this too much?"

"Not at all, girl you look as hot as hell, all the damn fire in hell!" Sophie gushed.

"Be careful Soph, your eyes might fall out of your head," Valerie said as she walked up to us, changed in her own dress. She looked gorgeous herself in a black strapless dress that clung to her bust and flowed out with white lace underneath. I suddenly felt a little less significant.

"You look gorgeous, Valerie. No one will be able to take their eyes off you." I sent her a warm smile.

"Says you, Damn the guys will be all over you!"

I looked over at Sophie who looked a little quiet, so I told her to go and put her beautiful dress on. She nodded and scurried off just as Cadence was coming in.

"Oh my god! Someone, get the fire extinguisher!" I swear to god if I hear another red joke someone else will be on fire.... "You're keeping that, there is no way I could pull that off anymore! Wow you're so thin!" Cady rambled on with a bunch of other things that left me stunned. She didn't seem like the girl they all said she was, to me she was just a human who had a little bit of an ego issue.

How did I feel right now? I looked in the mirror once again to see my dark blonde hair draped around my shoulders flowing down to my second-skin dress. I did look... Beautiful. I've never felt beautiful before.

Except when I was with Grayson.

My mood dropped a little.

"Here, your heels," Cady passed me black heels that had a covered foot with laces but had a zip on the back for easy accessibility. They fit the dress perfectly, making my legs look way longer than they actually are. Could I even walk in these things? Probably not. Who cares.

"Sophie you look breath-taking!" I gushed over her gold, silver and black tight-fitting top and matching mini skirt as she walked out of the bathroom. Her cheeks went pink (which I found odd because she's in the most popular group at school...) as she said thanks, putting on her heels.

"Shit, it's almost seven, we should get to the guys house," Valerie rushed out looking at her watch. She seemed extremely nervous and anxious to get there, yet another thing to add to the list of confusing things.

"Why are you nervous, Val?" I got a snort from Cady in reply to this and a slight chuckle from Sophie. If I thought sophie was blushing before, you should've seen Val then.

"I, uh, nothing! I'm not nervous!" She spluttered. I gave her a look that clearly showed I wasn't buying it, causing her to sigh in defeat.

"She likes Tyler."

When we pulled up to the guys house, I was still reeling from this information. Val. Likes. Tyler. Let me repeat that... Valerie damn Adams likes Tyler Hart! I zipped my lips and acted like I didn't know Tyler's true feelings, but my loyalty did stand in a place where Tyler was definitely going to know about this soon. That's amazing! I mentally locked it away in my brain to tell Tyler to make a move, because she'd go for it.
