CHAPTER 2

"Wait. Before we get on the car, can I just call Sandra to ask her to tag along?"

"Stace, we gotta get going." Lily gave me a frustrated look? 

"Fine, fine. I can tell her to meet us there, right?" 

"That, is okay."

"Yay!" I whispered.

~*~

Lily and her friends left Reece, Zayn, Sandra and I alone not knowing where to go.

We started from the first floor but there were no clothing shops anywhere. There were some, but they don't have formal wears. I can see Reece is starting to get frustrated now.

"When are we going to find one?" 

"Patient, Reece. Wait. I think I've ever seen one shop on the third floor."

"You sure, Zayn? I got to look for a dress too."

"Yes, yes. Just come."

We walked around the third floor. Reece was glaring at Zayn. He was getting really tired of walking around the whole mall. Finally, Reece blurted out.

"Zayn, if we can't find that shop, I'm so gonna ki-"

"FOUND IT!"

We walked in and definitely, there's a lot to pick from. Looking into the shop, Lily was already in there. I can see that Reece really wanted to shout at Lily but he controlled himself by just hitting her on the back. I laughed a bit and stopped when both of them glared at me. 

"Reece, come. Pick one or two."

"Coming!" suddenly full of joy. 

Reece was skipping around the shop like a five year old. I wonder what will girls from our school say when they see that. Speaking of the devil, Anastasia which we call Anas, walked in with Felicia, we call Fely, Rider and Liam. Rider and Liam are Reece and Zayn's best friends. They are total jerks because they dump girls just like that. I can say the same with Reece, but not Zayn. He doesn't really date but is known for sports. He's crazy about basketball and always makes our school proud as ever. Reece never listens to me. Everytime I try to tell him not to just date simply any girl just to do stuff with her, he says "Fine," but ignores anyways.

"Reece, Zayn, Liam and Rider are here. With Anas and Fely, actually."

Anas and Fely walked up to Sandra and I and we started talking. We usually hangout a lot during lunch but I seriously hate the popular girls except for Sandra. I'm technically in the 'Populars' but I don't really get in trouble like how the others do. Sandra gets in trouble sometimes but she's kind and helpful when it comes to friends. That's why I pretty much like Sandra more than any other friends of mine.

"Stace, why didn't you told me to tag along with you guys?"

"Technically Fely, we were only told to bring one friend along."

"Oh. Really? Mmmm... But without my help, I don't think you'll get the PERFECT dress," Anas and Fely laughed while Sandra and I just rolled our eyes and turn back to the dresses. I personally would want a blue dress or maybe a turquoise one since they're my favourite colour. Looking at every single dress, I couldn't find a blue or turquoise one. I was pretty disappointed, so I went to the counter and asked the quite beautiful, actually she's really beautiful, lady. 

"Ummm... I'm sorry if I'm disturbing you, but do you have maybe a blue or turquoise coloured dress?" She smiled and told me to follow her into a room.

"Where are you-"

"Just walk."

Mmm? Just walk? I thought Zayn said something like "Just come.". I shook my head and snapped the thought off and walked into a huge room full with dresses of every single colour. My jaw dropped when I saw the whole rack of blue dresses and another rack of turquoise dresses. I pretty much fell in love when I saw all the asymmetrical skirts. For all of your information, asymmetrical skirts are my all time favourite. When the lady saw my expression, she chuckled a bit and continue walking. 

"So... Why don't you put these outside?"

"We try our best to keep these private until someone has the nerves to ask us."

"Wait. It means you will only show these dresses to people who asks for it?"

"Weird, but yes."

Feeling pretty curious, I asked. "But won't you get more customers if you put them outside?"

She just kept silent and started pulling out some dresses. 

"Do you like this one? Or this?"

Comparing both colours, I'd rather take the blue one. I looked over some and saw a dress. Not caring if it's formal enough, I took it. 

I walked out of the room and to Sandra. When Anas and Fely saw the dress I was holding, they stared at it with their eyes opened. They snapped out of whatever they were thinking when I smirked at them. 

"Oh, God. Where did you get this dress?" 

I laughed at Sandra's expression that I can't explain. I looked at the lady at the counter and she gave me the don't-tell-anyone-about-the-room look. 

"I saw it somewhere near the tuxedos. It was probably left there."

"Hmph. Perhaps you do have taste in fashion."

"Anas, I always did." I rolled my eyes.

"Sure, whatever." Anas said while running to Liam like a puppy who just found her owner.

After I took the dress, I went to look at more black ones. I didn't really like them but might as well get one more for emergencies, right? Teehee. I walked to Reece showing him what I wanted and he showed me his. 

"You know, I would really wanna see you wear the blue one." I glared at Reece.

"Here." Reece said taking my dress and his tuxedo while putting it on the counter.

The 'lady' gave me a smile. I smiled back. As soon as we got out of the shop, I saw a jewelry shop and decided to get myself a pair of feather earrings. I told Sandra to come with me, because she's a earring addict.
