Erika
We walked into school and were all stood at our lockers when the speakers came on..

Pr- Attention Westlake High! The date for prom has been decided!
All- *cheers*
Pr- Prom will be held on.. March 20th!

I looked at the boys and they started getting hyped..

Pr- Get looking forward to it! It'll be great time!

I spun around and looked at them sad..

L- Whats up pea?
E- I don't have a dress..
J- We'll help, right?
C- Duh! *girly voice*
E- What do you mean?

Jake wrapped his arm around my shoulders..

J- We already have suits and ties and what not from last year.. we'll help this year
E- You guys don't have to
An- We want to

I hugged Jake, then Logan, then Chance, then Tony.

We all decided we would head to mine. We walked up the stairs and we walked into my apartment. They jumped on the sofa, I giggled and did the same.

We chilled out for a couple hours and then the door opened. I saw my mom walk through.

A- Hi guys, I'm Angel, Erika's Mom *smiles*
L- I'm Logan
J- Jake
An- Anthony
C- Chance

My mom smiled I looked down..

E- You see dad?
A- Yeah..
E- He any better?
A- ... no..

I nodded and looked at the boys..

E- Wanna go eat?
C- Dooooown!
An- Sure
J- Yeah
L- Come on!

They got up and I jumped on Jakes back..

E- Bye Mom
A- *smiles surprised* Bye honey!

We left and went for food. We were walking around town when I was drawn to something in one of the store windows..

I stopped to look and the boys walked back to me when they realised I had stopped..

An- Wow
C- That's beautiful

I looked at the price..

E- I'm sure I could find a nicer one

I went to walk away but Jake stopped me..

J- Lets go in *smiles*

I sighed and he spun me round, nudging me to the door. We walked in and a lady walked up to us confused.

?- Can I help?
L- She would like to try that one

Logan pointed to it..

?- Uh- ok, lets pick out a few and then try that?

The boys looked at me..

E- Sure *small smile*

She nodded and we went round a picked out 3 more.. We went to the changing area and they sat on the seats while I went to get changed..

I looked in the mirror.. wow. I walked out and they boys smiled..

L- You look beautiful pea
E- Thank you

I tried on the next..

The reaction wasn't any different..

Then the third..

Again.. the same reaction..

?- Now- this one?

She looked a little puzzled, was she really judging us?

E- Yeah, problem?

She looked at me..

?- Hm?
E- Didn't think so

She was taken back and went to get the dress. The boys chuckled and I smiled. She handed the dress to me and I went to get changed..

Holy shit.

I walked out and the boys were speechless.. so was that lady.. I looked down at myself.. a tear rolled down my cheek..

I looked back up and them and smiled.. the boys smiled back.. Jake was still in shock. I giggled at him and the boys began teasing him. I went and got changed back into my normal clothes and I put all the dresses back..

L- Where's the dress?
E- Guys.. it's $569.. that's too much

Jake picked the dress up and walked over to the counter..

E- Jake- stop, you can't be serious

I ran over and he handed the lady some scrunched up money.. She sighed and put the dress in a bag.. handing it to him.

We all walked out and Jake gave me the bag..

J- Take it as a gift then..

I smiled a a tear fell down my face. I quickly wiped it and hugged Jake tight..
