Plz read the author's note and Zayn and Cheryl's outfit above 👆 also yes that is my Cheryl, Katherine McNamara.

I was currently cluelessly staring at the dresses and outfits sprawled across my bed. Alice was cornered beside the window talking to Aaron on the phone and Ashley was sitting at the far corner of my bed clicking selfies.

'Ash!? Are you here to help me or to update your Instagram?' I asked.

'Sorry, sorry. Just a minute. Ummmm, hashtag single again hashtag happy hashtag it's good to be free hashtag no drama aaaaand DONE!' she said and I face palmed, 'How do I look?' she asked waving the phone in front of my face.

'You look good. Wait, how did you bring that sunlight effect?' I asked her narrowing my eyes.

'It's a filter, Cheryl,' she said before switching off her phone and shoving it in her pocket, 'Anyhow. What did you decide?'

'Nothing. I am absolutely clueless about what to wear,' I voiced my thoughts with a troubled expression, 'Do you have any ideas?'

'Ummmm. Because it is a first date, you should look less fancy and made up, and more casual and effortless. And it's windy and cold so you need winter casual fashion. Got it!' She reached over to pick up different things from different outfits.

'You've got to play with outfits, be creative and generous with your design,' Ah, and the designer genes. I nodded understandingly as she picked up a white high neck woolen dress that came up to my knees and matching white tights. I dumbly watched her as she stopped, thought for a second and picked up a pink shrug.

She threw them at my face, 'Go change, and we'll see how that looks,' she ordered and I obeyed. I came out of the bathroom and she looked at me deep in thought before shaking her head, 'Nope. Go try this on,' she said and handed me a black v-neck tank top, black jeans, a red coat with a check printed scarf. I nodded before going inside again and changed into it. And wore the scarf around my neck in a loose fashion.

I came out, she was eyeing my scarf boringly. 'What?' I asked defensively.

'Uggh, nothing. Go try this one on. I think this will do,' she said and handed me a brown shoulder off oversized sweater and black ripped tights. 'What is this? No way,I don't wear this. I just remembered, mom borrowed it for me from Paige but I never wore it. It's too revealing!' I exclaimed.

'Stop over reacting Cheryl. I think you should try different. I think this will suit you perfectly.'

'Ash!,' I whined but she gave me a flat face and pushed me towards the bathroom.

I changed into it and and came out constantly pulling at the shoulder off sleeves. Ashley grinned looking at me and clapped, 'This looks amazing. Zayn will go crazy,' she said and I frowned annoyed.

'And stop that,' she said and shooed off my hands from near my shoulders. She forbid me to look in the mirror and made me sit on the bed after I cleaned up the mess on my bed. She curled my hair from the ends and did a little makeup that i couldn't make out how would it look.

'I am trusting you completely, Ash. Don't disappoint me,' I said and she chuckled.

'You're cute when you're worried,' she said and creeped me out.

'Shut up. You're being weird,' i said.

'We're done!' she exclaimed and Alice came rushing towards me. I stared expectantly at their faces as Alice stared at me and gasped.

'Wow! Cheryl you look amazing!' she complimented and I breathed a sigh of relief.

I stood up and took out my brown handbag and brown lace up heels, wore them to complete the look. Ashley just kept grinning victoriously as I slowly walked towards the mirror.
