The New Boy

Chapter 11: Fancy Gowns and Anxiety

"Oh honey, you're not really going to wear that, are you? Same with you Daniel." Mrs Johnson says.

"Why? Only our family's coming over." Daniel states.

I still had sweats and my long t-shirt on, but I managed to put my messy hair into a high pony tail.

Mrs. Smith sighs, rolls her eyes then looks Daniel directly in the eyes.

"We're going out to the Chandelier remember?"

"Oh." Daniel says stretching the word out.

The Chandelier is the fanciest restaurant in Jefferson City, you have to wear the priciest outfit to get in. I've never been, my family can't afford it. No wonder Mrs. Johnson was dressed in a full length dress.

"Well Jenna only has these clothes." Daniel says.

"She can drive home, but I mean it might drag the night out longer." He adds.

"It's fine, she can borrow something of mine." Mrs. Johnson says taking my hand and leading me up the stairs.

"Oh Daniel go to the restaurant and tell them our last name, we don't want to be late for our reservations. We'll be there in 30 minutes or less, just don't order without us, you're dad and brother will be there soon. Go change into your suit real quick." She says then pulls me back upstairs.

Geez the whole dragging around thing must run in the family.

Once we get into Mrs. Johnson's bedroom I can't help but stare, it looked London threw up on it. The room was white themed. It was extremely classy compared to my moms room.

But my mouth drops when we enter her bathroom. It was huge, it looked like it should be a model bathroom in a magazine. There was a white leather chair in front of the huge mirror. The glass countertop was spotless with jewelry nicely spread across it. The floor was heated when I step on it, and the shower could easily fit 10 people in it.

The closet was even better, it was as big as my room, with designer clothes hanging nicely. The little island in the middle modeled high heels, and sandals. I take a deep breath as Mrs. Johnson, looks in full length, fancy dress section. She soon picks out a dark blue strapless dress. Then she picks five inch black heels with it, she grabs a strapless bra then hands the clothes to me.

"Try this on, hurry we're in a rush. I'll get my makeup out and curler." Mrs. Johnson says handing me the beautiful dress.

She then leaves before I can reply, she closes the large door leaving me to get dressed.

I slip on the bra, then the silky dress. The dress was strapless and had a low cut v-neck. I put on the heels and I look in the mirror.

Sure I could barely walk in the heels, but I looked amazing. I smile warily at the dress, then I walk out into the bathroom.

"Oh that looks perfect on you!" Mrs. Johnson says.

"Thank you." I say smiling.

"Okay sit down."

Mrs. Johnson quickly does my makeup, she starts my eyeshadow, she puts the brush on my eye lids, like she was the artist and my eye lids were the canvas.

"So you and Daniel?"

"Are great friends." I say as she finished up my foundation and blush.

"Okay yeah." She says smiling.

"What do you mean?"

"You guys obviously are more than friends."

"He has a girlfriend."
