After school, Lena and Abby came home with me so we could pick out a decent outfit for this so-called "date".

"Why can't I just wear jeans and a top like you two?" I grumble as I look at the short dress I have on through the mirror in my bedroom.

"Because sky, you need to make James jealous. There's no way he won't get a little mad seeing you in that." Abby smirks.

"Who says I even want to make James jealous? We're just friends for the billionth time." I sigh turning around to face them both.

Lena is sitting on my desk chair, twirling in it, while Abby lays on my bed with her feet sticking up into the air.

"Lena stop! You're making me dizzy." I laugh which makes her smile.

"Me too." She comments as she finally comes to a stop.

"Seriously though, can I please wear skinny jeans?" I whine.

"No." They both state in unison.

I mean the dress is somewhat cute. It is all black with some light pink floral patterns along the top. It stops just above my knees and is spaghetti strap. I paired it with my black sandals.

My brown hair is down and left natural, which in my case is wavy and slightly untamed.

Abby did my makeup, giving me an almost perfect winged eyeliner with mascara and lip-gloss.

Overall, I feel like I look good, but I still wish I didn't have to wear this silly dress.

I'm just not comfortable.

"It's almost seven-thirty. We need to get going." Lena comments as she stands up in her blue jean skinny jeans with a pink crop top and black sandals. Her blonde hair is slightly curled at the ends as she wears minimal makeup.

Abby stands up wearing black skinny jeans with a white tanktop that shows quite a bit of cleavage. She's got a black and red flannel tied around her waist and she's wearing a pair of all black converse. Her red hair is up into a ponytail, as her makeup looks fierce with her signature smokey eye and red lips.

The three of us look like complete opposites from the untrained eyed, yet somehow, I have never found two other people who have made me feel like myself more than them.

I always thought it was so cliché how people who meet at a very young age stay close friends their entire life, but I am glad that I am living in my own real-life cliché.

The three of us say bye to my mom, even though I had to make sure she wasn't sad about me canceling our plans for tonight. She said she understood what it was like to be a teenager and told us to have fun. I still felt like I let her down, but I pushed that to the back of my mind.

I can make it up to her later.

When we finally arrived at the crowded movie theater, the three of us got out and made our way to the front of the building. We didn't see any sign of the boys, so we decided to go inside to the game room to play a few games before the boys arrive and the movie starts.

"Play you both in guitar hero!" Abby shouts as she runs to the game.

Lena and I dart after her and we all begin playing. I don't want to sound conceited, but I totally crush both of them and set a new high score on the entire game.
