Stolen

  "So do you like any boys at school?" My friend Alex asked me. Her long brown hair layed on her narrow shoulders as inspected a dress. We had been talking about boys for a hour now, and I was running out of exscuse to why I didn't like any boys at school. They were all shallow and they only wanted sex. If I was going to have a real relationship then I wanted it to be because you wanted to be with them and not in their pants. But of course if I told Alex this she would freak out and go on and on about how I'm wrong and then she would set me up on a blind date with a man-boy with wandering hands... Again.

"I just don't have any feelings for any of the guys at school. I think I'll just wait until college." I said trying to get her off my back. I picked up another dress and quickly put it back down not bothering to hide my disgusted face at the faded yellow dress.

"That's way too long, Jessi!! Plus I think Kyle and you would be cute." Alex said. I've known Kyle for 4 years and he is nothing more than a best friend. We have been through everything together, and once you see each other go through the awkward stages of puberty, things aren't the same.

"But I'm not going to date a guy that I have no feelings for." I protested with a frown present on my face, shaking the thought of kissing Kyle out of my head.

"Well, If you don't get close to people you won't know if you like them or not." Alex fired back while quirking her eyebrow. I had always been the kind of person who pushed people away and put a wall around my heart but I even though I did that I really didn't have any feelings for guys right now.

"If I like someone you will be the first to know." I said trying to close the topic of my non-existent love life.

"Okay!" Alex agreed happily with a smal clap, her brown hair dancing around as she jumped a little.

"Okay, lets go dress shopping " I said rolling my eyes at her little burst of excitment.

Last night my dad told me that I had to go get a fancy dress for his party he is hosting. He says that its for his job. I don't understand how being a Lawyer has anything to do with a party. Whatever. Sometimes

"Ooh! Look at this one!" Alex said happily holdng up a knee length, light blue dress with a floral print.

"It's pretty but I don't like it enough." I said my perfectionist ways coming out.

I watched Alex walk away muttering something about being picky. Oh well. I want the most amazing dress ever. 

I walked around the store until I found a cute dress but I need to know if the party was casual or fancy. I pulled out my phone to text my dad's party planner

T0: Chaz

Fancy or casual?

A few minutes later I recived a text.

To: Jessica 

Aha. Dress shopping? Go with fancy. Good luck. 

I smiled and walked away from the dress that was too casual. Sexy or sweet? I asked myself....Some where in between.

I walked over to the part of the store where they had the ballroom gowns. They were all so pretty. I picked up a red one and took it the changing room. I put it on and looked at myself in the mirror. It looked good but not good enough. I went back to the spot I was just in and I saw the most beautiful dress. I didn't even try it one because I knew it was the one. I grabbed some cute nude pumps and and dragged Alex away from the only male there, paid and then left. I am so excited to wear this dress.

When I got home I saw that my dad's workers had already set up the back yard with canopys, fairy lights, nice outdoors couches and tables everywhere filled with food. It all looked amazing. I couldn't wait to put on my new dress. For once I was actually excited for one of my dad's parties.  Usually they were all boring with men from work and I wasn't allowed to be there. I walked into the house to start getting ready, I didn't want to watch the men work because the kept dropping things and I did not wanna be around when they dropped something expensive and have to watch my dad freak out.
