13.0 ||the nightmare humans call a mall

//Elena//

"Hey, what about this one?"

I look over in Ally's direction to see her holding up a hideous green dress, resembling something like someone threw up all over it and just let it dry on the fabric.

"Oh.my.gosh yes! Why don't you get me matching boots, maybe I'll wear it at the Victoria Secret Fashion Show!" sarcasm dripped out of my every word.

Ally simply rolled her eyes and scoffed. We've been at the mall for over two hours trying to find a dress.

It was kind of nauseating.

"God, who sprinkled bitch powder in your breakfast this morning?" she snapped back.

Ally put the dress back on the rack and started walking out of the store. Guilt started tearing at my heart.

I have my reasons but I shouldn't take it out on my best friend.

"Alls I'm sorry. You're right, your only trying to help me. I'm sorry for taking all my problems out on you. I'm really sorry, your my best friend and the last person I want mad at me."

It's true, Ally is the only person who never seems to get mad at me, she always understands me. I don't know what I'd do if I ever lost her.

She stopped walking and turned around to face me.

"Elena, shut up and stop apologizing." she smiled slightly and continued, "I'm not mad. Do you wanna tell me why your so upset?"

I shook my head, not wanting to ruin our girls day. The last thing i wanted was to bring up yesterday's situation. Partly because I know Ally would try and talk to Jack again.

"I'm fine, don't worry I just didn't sleep well is all," I lied.

It wasn't really a lie, but it wasn't the main reason I was in a pissed off mood.

I didn't sleep much after Jack had left. My whole night was spent thinking about the prior event that had occurred.

She obviously saw right through my lie and shook her head while letting out a small chuckle, "You really need to learn how to lie better."

I rolled my eyes and scoffed. I was not a bad liar.

Ally can tell when I'm lying even with her eyes closed. It's not fair, she knows me too well.

"Please, I'm a great liar and you know it," I crossed my arms over my chest and slightly lifted my chin up trying to look somewhat confident.

Ally let out a big laugh this time. Her hand went to her mouth to try and stifle her laughter.

"Oh geez L, your so funny. You can try and fool everyone in this mall but you can't fool your best friend."

She pinched my cheeks like I was 5 years old before adding on, "Oh, and we are talking about this later."

Ally threw me a wink before walking in the direction of Forever 21.

Walking around with a pouty face on purpose, I hoped she would forget about having to talk later. I don't have a future in acting either so I probably looked stupid.

Ally and I went our separate ways to try and find a dress for me.

Ally found her dress at a store called Love Culture. It was a mid thigh floral dress that complemented her figure perfectly.

I've always been jealous of her, not the i-hate-you-so-im-gonna-kill-you jealous but more like the  i-want-to-be-you type of jealous.

Like I've mentioned before, she's just naturally pretty, she doesn't need to try and don't even get me started on her hair.
