Awkward

Chapter 6

"U have got to be kidding me!" Naya exclaims from her dressing room. "This dress is worth more then my bedroom furniture!"

"What did I tell you about checking the price first, and then trying clothes on," I respond back.

""Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know I have a weakness for cute clothes!"

"Yeah and a weakness for going broke," I mumble.

"So what do you think?" She says opening the dressing room door, walking out in a dark blue, skin tight dress. It accentuates all her curves in all the right places. 

"Naya! You look amazing! Your boobs look huge!!," 

"Thanks, Its this new push up bra I got," she says smiling.

"Yeah, maybe I should get one to," I say pathetically looking at my flat b-cups.

"So should I get it?" She asks pleadingly.

"Dont ask me! I will not be in charge of your financial decisions," I respond

"Ughh, you're no fun." She says heading back into the room.

Naya ends up getting the navy blue dress. She convinced herself  by saying she barely goes out, so when she does, she might as well look good.

We walk out of the store, and start heading towards the exit. I stop to look at an outfit that caught my eye in the display of Nordstrom.

"You should try it on," I hear Naya say.

"Yeahh...I'm okay, lets just go," I reply back

"Come on Lia, you're just trying it on, you're not committed to it," she says rolling her eyes.

"Fine. Just for a minute," I really did want to try it on.

I put the red off-the-shoulder crop top on and slide on the high waisted skinny jeans that it was displayed with. I stare at myself in the mirror, shocked at how cute I actually look. "Wow" I say to myself.

 "Okay Naya, I think I actually like this outfit," I announce as I head out of the dressing room.

Right then, my heart jumps out of my chest, when I spot Tyler Smith sitting on the couch. 

"Lia? Is that you?" He says

"Oh.... heyyyyy.....Tyler, wha-what are you doing here?," I say awkwardly 

"My little sisters trying on some clothes, so I'm just waiting for her to be done. I almost didn't recognize you! You're finally not wearing black!" He says smiling

"Ha ha, yeah decided to add some color to my life, ha ha," I say nervously. 

"Well it looks good on you, you should get it,"

"Oh. Thanks. I'm gonna go change back now, BYE!" I say hurrying away back into the dressing room.

I close the door, and automatically start silent freaking. WHAT JUST HAPPENED? DID HE JUST COMPLIMENT ME? WAIT, I NEVER RESPONDED TO HIM LAST NIGHT. HE PROBABLY THINKS IM A RUDE ASS BITCH! WTF IS WRONG WITH ME. I HATE MY LIFE! 

I wait until I hear Tyler leave so I can finally escape the dressing room. Where the fuck is Naya? How could she leave me there all alone with Tyler freaking Smith. I go searching for Naya, and finally catch her at the jewelry section.

"HELOOOOO!," I say annoyed "Where were you? Do you know what just happened to me?"

"What?" she says eyeing a pair of earrings.

"Tyler Smith was just in the dressing room, and he saw me when I came out,"

"WHAT? Did you have clothes on?" She says a little to excited

"Yes! I was in the outfit, and then he complimented me, and then I ran away. AS USUAL,"

"He complimented you?"

"Yeah, he said I looked good, and that I should get the outfit,"

"It's settled then! You're going to get the outfit,"

"Naya, no. I Can't leave my house in this. My torso shows, my mom will freak,"

"Thats why, you change in the car, silly! Stop acting like a newbie," 

She grabs the outfit and heads towards the cash register.

"Nayaaaaaa," I whine

"What Lia! Live a little, and as a matter a fact, someone might have a crush on you?"

"What? Who?"

"Tyler!"

I burst into laughter, "You're kidding me right, you have gone insane."

"I'm serious, from his texts last night, which BTW I still cant believe, and then today he made it clear ur attractive, why not?"

"Naya, I already told you, he sent that text last night because he's an automatic charmer, it just comes out of him. He doesn't know he's being swoon-worthey or else he wouldn't have done it. And today he just felt bad, and wanted to make me feel good about myself because I usually look like a loser,"

"Mhmm, Whatever you say Amelia," she says grabbing the bag of clothes from the cashier. "Here, I'll Venmo request you the amount." handing me the bag.

"Why am I friends with you," I reply rolling my eyes

"Because i'm the bad influence you need in your goody-two-shoes life," she says smirking

She's right. She's the devil on my shoulder, telling me to live my life, and i'm falling for it.
