The boy next door

First Date

School finished. Thank God I didn't have to do detention anymore. I went home and did my homework as fast as I could. I asked Watts if she could come with me to the boutique to pick out a dress for the date.

When we got to the outside of the boutique I saw the most beautiful dress I have ever seen on a mannequin. It was a dark blue dress with sparkles on the chest. I had the right shoes and the perfect purse to go with it.

"Guess you found what you wanted?" Watt said

"Yup"

We entered the boutique and went to the counter to ask for the dress.

"Excuse me?" The clerk looked up at me. She was reading a teen magazine.

"What can I help you with?"

"I was wondering if you had that blue dress in a small."

"Let me see..." She disappeared through a door leading to the back of the boutique. Five minutes later she came back empty handed.

"Sorry.That's the last one." She pointed to the dress on the mannequin. Watts walked to it and peaked at the size tag.

"It's a small.Can she try on this one?"

"Of course" She walked to the mannequin and went through the door. When she came back she had the dress in her hands. "The fitting rooms are in the back."

I went in and changed. When I looked at myself in the mirror I felt like a princess. I walked out to show Watts. When she saw me, she got teary eyed and broke out a smile.

"You look pretty."

"Thank you" The clerk came and saw me . Her mouth opened in awe.

"Wow.You look beautiful.You'll take it?"

I looked at the price tag and frowned. The dress is worth twenty pounds. I only have fifteen.

"I can't. I don't have enough money. I only have fifteen pounds."

"I'll pay the rest." The clerk said."That dress fits you just right. Your going on a date?"

"Yes. With the most handsome boy in school." Watts said for me.

"But don't worry. I could find another dress worth less-"

"It's worth it. If I was going out with a handsome boy, I would give everything for that dress."

"OK, fine. I'll get the dress but please let me pay you back when I get the money."

"OK, by the way, my name is Cynthia, Cynthia Powell."

"Nice to meet you.My name is Eleanor Johnson, and this is my friend Watts."

"Hi. Um, Eleanor, we should be going. You don't want to be late to your first date."Watts reminded me.

" Right. Well, if your looking for me, I work here everyday except on weekends. I think we'll get along well." Cynthia said.

"We too." I paid for the dress and we ran to my house.

When we entered, I looked at the time and saw it was seven. Watts and I dashed to the room. I putted my dress on and Watts did my makeup. When she was done,I looked at myself in the mirror.

"You look stunning." My brother said from the doorway.-"Any man would fall to your knees."- My brother noticed Watts in the room.-"Oh, hi. You must be Eleanor's best friend?"

"Correct" She replied.

"And...Your name is...?"

"Watts Collins. You must be Eleanor's brother?"
