"Ugh, can we leave yet? We've been here for like, two hours and my feet are starting to hurt."

I despise shopping. Heck, I despise going out in public period. But with a friend like Kat, staying home all the time isn't an option.

"Oh hush, we haven't been here for two hours. We've been here for twenty minutes. Now go try this on." She pulled a skimpy looking silver dress from a rack and pointed to the dressing rooms.

"Fine .." I grumbled under my breath.

After getting into one of the cramped dressing stalls and fiddling with the little dress, I finally managed to get it on.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not one to be self-conscious about my body; but this left NOTHING to the imagination. The dress was made out of a stretchy, metallic fabric that clung to my body and came up to a few inches below my behind.

Looking in the mirror, I examined myself.

I myself am a naturally curvy girl. Flat tummy, more than enough junk in the trunk, and D's up top. This dress showed off all of that, and I mean ALL of it. But it looked good on me.

If hooker is what you're going for, then yeah, it looks good.

"Iris, show me what it looks like!" Kat was on the other side of the door practically jumping out of her shoes.

Cautiously, I opened the door and stepped out.

"HOLY CRAP! YOU LOOK HOT!" Kat's voice was a little too loud and caught the attention of some boys passing by. After numerous lustful stares and vulgar comments, I retreated back to the safety of the dressing stall with my face painted crimson.

I put my regular clothing back on, and exited the stall once more, only to be met with more dresses to try on.

I let out an exasperated sound.

"What? You didn't expect me to stop at one dress did you?" Kat giggled and went off in search for more things for me to try on.

~~~~~~~

After having what seemed like 50 dresses shoved my way, both Kat and I agreed that the silver one looked best on me.

"Go wait outside, I'll go pay for the dress. Okay?" Kat smiled at me, then scurried over to the register before I could I object to her paying.

~~~~~~~

I leaned against the wall outside the store for a few minutes until she finally emerged with a small bag containing the dress. Handing the bag to me, she grabbed ahold of my free hand and dragged me to a nearby boutique dedicated to nothing but shoes and accessories.

As soon as we entered the small shop, my eyes immediately drifted to a pair of tall black heels.

Kat waved her hand in front of my face, "Hello, earth to Iris?"

I pointed to the shoes I was mindlessly staring at, "THOSE."

She looked the way I was pointing and her jaw dropped.

She nodded, "Yes, THOSE."

Grabbing my arm, she pulled me over to the shoes. "Sit," She pointed at the small stool used for trying on shoes and went off to find whomever was working the store right now.

Doing as she said, I sat there until she returned with a petite blonde woman at her side.

The woman haughtily placed her hand on her hip, sighed heavily, and gave me an irritated look, "Size."

"What?" I looked at her confused.

"SHOE SIZE." The woman's expression changed from one of irritation to one of annoyance.

"Oh, um, 8 1/2 .." I looked down at where my hands sat in my lap.

The woman disappeared through a door leading into, I'm assuming, the back of the store and promptly returned with a box containing the shoes of my size.

She shoved the box my way, "Try them on."

Not wanting to deal with her much longer, I snatched the box from her hands and tried the shoes on.

I stood up and went to look in the full-body mirror that was nearby.

The heels were easily over five inches tall and made my legs look exceedingly long and elegant.

Being only 5"0, tall heels have always been my favorite.

"Well?" The woman stood with her arms crossed.

Kat gave her a dirty look, but I stopped her before she could come up with a remark.

"They fit wonderfully, I'll take them." I quickly took the shoes off and put them back in their box.

The woman took them from me and headed towards the cash register at the front of the boutique followed by Kat and I.

After the shoes had been paid for, I pulled my phone out of my pocket and looked at the time.

We've been here for nearly THREE hours!

"We're done now."

I looked up at Kat, "Huhh?"

"I said we're done shopping now, we can go."

I sighed in relief, but it was short-lived.

"Now we can go to my house and give you a make-over." Kat smiled at me sinisterly and rubbed her hands together like a mad scientist.

Fudge.
