My Mate?

Astrid's POV

(Astrid's 15 and Hazel is 16, Astrid's super smart so she got into Hazel's class instead of those of her own age)

H = Hazel is speaking, A= Astrid is speaking

A handsome prince wrapped me in his arms and led me into the ballroom. 

H: Earth to Ast!  

A voice shouted, interrupting my daydream. 

A: Okay, okay, I'm coming!  

I mumbled as I walked to my closest friend (and shopaholic), Hazel. 

H: These dresses are for you. Pouring an armload of lace into my arms.

A: What about you?

H: These.

She pointed to a rack of clothing in rainbow colors.

We were buying dresses and stuff for our tomorrow, our alpha's birthday, which was the day he would find his mate, and honestly, I pity his mate.

 Anyways, I don't even understand why I should go! I hate dresses and I hate parties. Besides, our "responsible" alpha already has a girlfriend, who isn't even his mate! As I said, I pity his mate.

I am 16 in 2 days and have developed long thin legs. 5 feet 7 is my exact height. I have long, thick, and wavy, chestnut hair. My favorite color is teal.

I stripped and changed into my first dress, a maroon dress.

A: Nah, this dress has too much lace, and it's too short.

H: Oh come onnnnnnn

A: Next one!

The next dress 

An olive green one, ewwwww

A: Next!

TIME SKIP CUZ IM LAZY

A: Last one!
A dark yellow dress

A: I can't find a dress I like!

I stepped out of the dressing room and at the corner of my eye I saw two girls unpacking a dress.

A: Oh. My. Goodness. I just found the perfect dress!

It was halterneck silver gradient into a dark blue with silver glitter all over. 

Yeah, that's purrfect

I grabbed it and slipped it on in the dressing room.

The dress showed fitted snugly, it was too tight not too loose.

I stripped it off and hung it back on the hanger. Then I stepped up to it catiously, and checked the price tag.

A: Whaddaheck?! This thing's 500 freakin' dollars!

Salesgirl: Well, we can give it to you half price miss.

H: I don't care, just get is and go!

H: You still need two more outfits but one can be pants. Oh, and shoes too!

I chose light blue denim short overalls, a light yellow sundress with a hood, and white leather Nike sneakers with a black and gold Nike logo.

Hazel chose a baby blue skirt with a white shirt, the same overalls as me, a pastel pink sundress, and lilac ballet flats.

Okay, we are ready to go, finally!

H: We still have to get accessories you know...

A: Ughhhhh whyyyyy
