❝Ooh y/n! How about this one?❞ Fawn asked from behind. Y/n and Fawn had entered The Shoppe of Pearl about thirty minutes ago. The white French doors opened into a light blue room with racks of dresses in color order.

Starting with white and easing over into light pinks, pinks to peach and so on. To the far left was a wall of flesh toned nylons. To the far right were displays of shoes in an assortment of styles.

Y/n turned around swiftly, causing her curls to fall in front of her face. Pushing it back, she grabbed the dress and examined the mermaid wine red gown. She glanced up at Fawn with a look. ❝What?❞ Fawn asked with raised eyebrows.

❝This is my birthday, not prom. Besides, I really don't look good in red.❞ She said, shoving the dress back towards her friend. Fawn scoffed and rolled her eyes before sliding her feet across the marble floors.

y/n was scanning the black dress section when someone walked up from behind her. ❝Isn't red practically your class?❞ The person asked. Y/n turned around abruptly and came face to face with another childhood friend.

❝Leo, what's up? I haven't seen you in a while.❞ She said excitedly as she immersed him into a hug. He wrapped his arms around her and chuckled lightly. Y/n laid her head on his soft blue wool knit sweater taking in the vanilla apple scent from the dark blue dress shirt underneath.

❝I'm alright, what's up with you? How's the party planning?❞

❝Rogers' trying to get me to wear sparkles.❞ she said as she pulled away. Leo took in a deep breath through his teeth. ❝Oh you hate sparkles.❞

❝I hate sparkles.❞

❝Well maybe I can help.❞ He recommended as they walked down the isle of silvers and whites. Y/n turned back amused. ❝What?❞ she asked with a slight scoff. ❝Did he volunteer to help?❞ asked Fawn two rows over.

❝He sure did.❞ Fawn took in a sharp breath through her teeth.

❝Have u ever noticed that he only volunteers to do anything when he wants he wants to look better than me?❞ Fawn asked before walking down the aisle the other two were in. Y/n rolled her eyes sarcastically, ❝Nope! Never really cared.❞ She laughed to herself then, began looking at the whites and flipped through them. Her eyes landed on a fitted mini dress with small crystals dancing in the light, covering the dress completely.

❝Yes! I found something.❞ y/n said excitedly waving the dress around. ❝Okay you literally just said you hate sparkle.❞ Fawn pointed out adding a small laugh at the end.

❝Yeah, well that was three minutes ago. I'm a changed person. Besides, they're crystals, not sparkles.❞

❝You want to try it on don't you?❞

❝I'm gonna try it on.❞

❝I had a strong feeling.❞ Leo said with a smile. Y/n walked up to the dressing room and a white panel slipped up exposing a scanner. She placed her hand on the scanner and it examined her hand before letting out two beeps. ❝Identity confirmed. Welcome, y/n, l/n. Please, scan your items.❞ The mechanical voice ordered.
