Elements of Elegance

Great now I have to work with a kid I barely know and probably won't get along with. "Mr. Peters why do I have to work with him? "I asked. "Well you both don't talk to anybody and nobody talks to you so I thought you would work well together." he said. Did my teacher really try to roast me i thought. "Your projects are due in 3 weeks!"

After third period ended and we ate lunch it was time to go home. When I entered my house it was completely empty. "Seems like nobody is home. Maybe I could go to the store and buy some outfits and shoes for my date. I grabbed my keys and went to my car. "Okay let's go to Ross and Marshall's!"

Normally it takes me 15 minutes to get to the department store but people just like shopping on Thursdays BEEP! BEEP! "Come on people move! Your girl needs a new wardrobe!" Because of that it took me 30 more minutes than usual. Finally I got here. I remember keeping some cash in my car so it must be here somewhere. I opened my glove compartment and found my stash. 150 bucks! Time to blow it all on this one night.

"Hello welcome to Ross." an employee greeted. I waved hello and rushed to the dresses. I spent some time to look at their selection and found 5 dresses that I liked. Then I went to the fitting room. "Hi mam how many outfits?" an employee asked. "Five." I replied. She gave my number and I went straight to the women's fitting room.

I found a vacant room and then put my clothes on the rack. "Hmm which one should I try on first?" I looked at the ones that I picked and saw and decided to try on the blue one. As I turned to look at myself in the mirror the dress felt too tight. I could barely move in it. Next I tried on a red dress that came with a chain. "This one looks good. Definitely gonna buy this." After that I tried on a emerald green dress with glitter and gemstones. "So pretty. I can move around in it too. I'm definitely going to buy this." Then there were two dresses left : a silver dress and a gold dress. So I tried on the silver dress. "Ugh! It's too uncomfortable and long" but when I tried on the gold dress I had no words. I instantly wanted to buy it.

I gave the number and the blue and silver dresses back to the employee and then took out my phone. I then checked the prices for each one. The red dress was $19.99, the emerald green dress was $24.99 and the gold dress was $29.99. So I still have 70 bucks left for Marshall's. The cashier Sarah rang up my items and said "Your total is $79.46" she said. I got my change and before I left she said "Have a nice day" she began. "You too" I replied.

I put my stuff in my trunk and went to Marshall's. Now time to look for some shoes, jewelry, perfume and a bag. As I walked into the store the perfume section was right in front of me. I found a perfume called Vanilla magic for $6.99. I got some shoes for $15.99 , a jewelry set for $8.99 and a bag for $18.99. My items were rang up by this cute guy called Cj. I left the store with almost 17 bucks left so at least I didn't blow everything.

When I got home it was half past 7 pm. I started thinking about Emmanuel. I wonder how the date would go. Hopefully tomorrow might go smoothly. Or at least I hope so. After that thought I went to say hi To my family, grab a snack and start debating on elements that I might use for my project.
