'I hate it. It has no fashion sense. Everyone knows that pink doesn't seem right with peach. Its just wrong,' I said making a disgusted face at the dress. Callie, my best friend looked at me like I was talking in a new language that I all of a sudden made up. We were in the new mall that just opened right near my house. It was great to have a mall opened so close to your house because 1. It is a mall 2. I could go there whenever I want with whoever I want and 3. because whenever I'm sad, I could go to one of the shops and buy a new pair of cute sandals. It cheers me up.

'Look, Kaylee Its your birthday in a week, don't you want to look your best?' Callie said.

I did a dramatic sigh and said 'Yeah but its just... im super annoyed, I mean i have had wonderful birthdays, but this is my 16th. Its the most important birthday since I was born. I mean what if I find a dress that makes me fall whenever I bend down to pick something up.'

I looked at her with my sad 'I dont know what to do' eyes. Callie always gives great advice. She even wants to be a advisor. She doesn't know what kind of adviser. Just an advisor. And she is beautiful. She has blond hair whereas I have brown hair and she has light brown eyes while I have watery blue eyes. She is the 'be yourself and enjoy your life' girl whereas I am the more 'we're 3 minutes late for class' worried girl.

'Look, If you don't want to buy a dress then you can use one that you already have.' She said looking at me with her 'you know you have to' eyes. The one thing that she is working on as an advisor is to not giving up fast.

'Plus If you fall, I'll catch you.' She said dramaticly. That cheered me up.

'My hero' I said puttin my hands on my chest and acting like she saved me. But im not kidding, I love Callie. The only reason I am not freaking about this birthday is because i will have Callie by my side whenever something good or bad happens. I looked at my watch and saw that it was time for my babysitting. I babysit because I am really good with children. And they pay me!!! I going to this new house across my street. Mrs Rain and her family just moved there. I think my mum went to her house because she had to do the 'hi im your new neighbour thing' and told Mrs Rain about my babysitting job. She is a very stylish women. I've seen her. She has black hair and green eyes that say 'dont mess with me' and she always wears suits. Even at home. She is very nice though. 

'Callie got to go, babysitting.' I said.

'Ok, ill see you tomorrow, call me or come to my house.' Cassie was too 

'Okay, See ya!' I said. I rushed out the mall and went home to get dressed. It was my first day at the job so I don't want to make a muck of myself. 

I got home and wore my white dress that had black neckline and belt on it. With it I wore my black sandals. Both casual and cool. And then put light make up on. I put my hair up in a pony tail. Every babysitting job i went to, the kids always pulled my hair. So putting your hair up is a great tip. I grabbed my bag that had my normal things in it. Makeup, phone, money, keys, tissue and thread. Ok nearly normal. I love to fiddle with thread. I've done it since i was 10. Whenever I'm nervous, i just start fiddling with it. Weird I know but you can't judge without trying. 

I rushed downstairs and told mum that I'm going.

'Ok bye honey, and don't get nervous just because Mrs Rain looks like a teacher. Be yourself.'

'Mum, she doesn't look like a teacher, she looks like a awesome teacher.' I said. It was true. She looked like them teacher that you want to hang around with. Weird but true.

I closed the door and walked across the street to the gate of their house. They had a wonderful garden. Neatly cut grass, watered plants and a small fountain that was decorated with flowers. I think a special event is coming up or they just like to decorate fountains. I loved everything about the house. It was white and small. But Mum said that inside the house, it is massive. And there was this beautful flower on the gate that made it look like a welcoming house. And to top it all off, there was a attractive boy coming out of the door of Mrs Rain's house.
