Shopping &Toys

POV Raven

It is already weekend, and since I never went to a dance, I... Kinda asked Summer for help. THIS STAYS BETWEEN US, I DON'T NEED NOBODY'S HELP. She seemed eager and dragged me to the city to buy dresses and accessories. So right now, we are at a mall. Sum's taking every dress she finds to put me in it.

"Summer, I only need a dress I'll be using it just once, not all this trash." I tell to her while she keeps handing me dresses.

"Sorry, it's just that you're so fun to dress, like a real life Barbie!" She answers, looking through red dresses.

"A what?" I wrinkle my forehead.

"Barbie! You know, a doll dressed in pink who can be anything." I stare at her confused. Who is that thing? "Oh, right, I forgot." She smiles nervously. "I know! We could go see dolls at a toy store later!"

"It's a toy? I'm 17, I find sex more interesting." She looks at me disgusted. "I'll still show you." She hands me a dress- WHAT IS THIS!

"EW, MY EYES!" I drop the dress and cover my eyes.

"You don't like pink, ok... I should've notice." She pushes me in a dresser. "I'll be waiting out here!" I take a look at the 8 dresses she gave to me. The first one is... Cute, I could say, so I moved it apart. I need something easy to use, not so complicated by my style at the same time. Oh, and easy to fight with. The next is black, but with hints of white. Nope. Next. Too much sparkles. The next one has a black rose in its belt. I'm not into roses. I move it too. Four out. I tried the first one, but it is below the knees. I'M NOT A NUN, OR LONG OR OVER THE KNEES. I let it fall before zipping it. I choose the next one. I put it on. This one IS over the knees, but... I just don't like how I look with it. I take it off. The next one looks better. I try it on. It is long, long sleeve with an uncovered back and V neckline, just a few sparkles that shine occasionally. And it is completely black. Well, I could show it to Summer. I go out."That one looks great!"

"You think so? It isn't too covered?" I look at my reflection in the mirror, turning around.

"You like it?"

"Well, I do... Do you think Tai would like it?" I notice what I just say and shut my yap. I see her through the mirror, a small moment of thinking, and then smiles.

"He would like anything, as long as you don't act so cold, like you're right now. Just talking out what you think." I had notice he gets distant when I act harsh. But it's not like I could be like Summer, all 'I want to be a hunter to protect my loved ones! I'm so sweet that sugar is sour to me!' But I reaaaally am trying to make Tai pay attention to me again. It seemed weird how at first he was all flirty with me, but with time he started hating me. And I just mis- I mis- I can't even say it in my head. I facepalm myself. "Are you ok? Will you choose that one?" I look at her again through the mirror.

"I'll try the other one first." I go back inside the dresser. I take off the dress and try the other one. It is also long, with an opening in the left side that ended at my thigh. It also kept my back uncovered untill the end, just with two straps crossed. It has a heart neckline, where the straps are attached, and it's also completely black. I go out.

"That one also looks good on you!" She tells me.

"You're making the choice really hard!" I stomp my foot.

"Which one do you like more?"

"I don't know, I like both. Which only would look better if I wear my hair tied?"

"The other one."

"I suppose that if I leave my hair loose, this one." She nods. I think about it. A ponytail or loose. A ponytail or loose. A ponytail... Or loose... Ponytail... Loose... ARGH, I HATE SHOPPING.
