WHEN TONI GOT BACK AND THE DAY OF CHERYL'S POOL PARTY FINALLY ARRIVED, Tori was sitting on her bed wearing nothing but her peach coloured two piece bathing suit while Toni looked through the closet of clothes Tori had.
"I didn't know that letting you pick my outfit once meant letting you pick every other outfit after that," Tori said as she lay on her back with her legs hanging off the edge of the mattress.
"You have so much vintage-looking stuff in here, it makes me wonder if you really are a high school student. You literally have a vinyl record player and a box of records by Michael Jackson and Bob Marley in the corner of your room," Toni said while pointing at the blue vinyl record player that was sitting on top of a closed box with the vinyls inside.
"The record player is a hand-me-down from my mom. She bought it a couple of years before I was born and the records used to be an annual birthday present for my mom from my dad and then I started listening to them and then they would get me a new record for my birthday every year," Tori said while looking at the box in the corner of her room. "My mom still gets me one each year."
"Two things. One, I have never met someone our age who is into vintage stuff like you are. Two, I think I just found the perfect outfit for you to wear," Toni said.
"Why does it matter? I'm gonna be in this bathing suit for ninety-nine percent of the time we're there," Tori said as she sat up and leaned back on her palms.
Toni took the article of clothing off the hanger in the closet and held it up for Tori to see. It was a honey yellow sundress with little white flowers all over that made the yellow look a little lighter from a distance. The hem of the dress stopped mid thigh and each strap was an inch thick and there was a zipper at the front that blended in with the colour of the dress so it would go unnoticed.
"Put it on," Toni said and Tori sighed as she took the dress from her hands.
She pulled down the zipper so she could easily slip into it and once she had it on, she pulled the zipper back up and adjusted the straps of the dress to cover the straps of the top piece of her bathing suit.
"I can't remember the last time I wore this dress," she said as she pulled her hair behind her shoulders and put on a pair of open toe sandals with straps around the ankles.
"Then it's settled. Also, I think we should just leave your hair down and you're good to go," Toni said while smiling.
