What people don't know

Chapter 38

Esther and i are standing in front of my closet, "Hmm you don't have that much colour do you" Esther says laughing, "Oh uh yeah i like black and grey more" I say while i look at my hands. "Those colours look great on you so i get why you would wear them!" Esther says and she grabs a black dress i have, I never wear it. Corbs bought it for me one time for a school dance, not a single boy asked me so i didn't go... It was this weird thing where boys needed to ask the girls to come...

"This dress will look so great on you!" Esther says while she hands it to me, "You sure?" I ask while i hold it in front of me, I look into the mirror. It's a simple black dress with spaghetti straps, it reaches till my thighs. "I am sure, just put it on!" Esther says and she lets herself fall onto my bed. I just awkwardly stand there, do i need to change with her in my room? Is it weird that i think it's kinda awkward? Esther turns on her stomach and she starts watching tiktoks on her phone, gosh tiktok, it's such a hype, maybe i should download it too. I quickly change into the dress and i look into the mirror, "I don't know" I say while i pull the dress down, "I feel awkward in this dress" I say. Esther turns off her phone and she gets up from the bed, "Are you crazy?! This dress looks amazing on you!" Esther says. "But i look so boney in this dress" I say and i mean it, I am build very small, my wrist are super small, you can see some of my ribs and well like i said before. I don't really have boobs..

"But you know, i don't have that much you know, isn't it weird to wear a tight dress then?" I ask and i tilt my head when i look at myself in the mirror. "Elle who cares? I want your figure so bad! Look at your tiny waist! This dress looks perfect on you!" Esther says while she sits down at my bed again. "But hey if you're not feeling comfortable you can wear something else of course" she says. "What if i wear a cropped sweater over it?" I ask and Esther looks up to me, "Oh no nevermind i don't know what i was thinking that's a stupid idea" I quickly add. "No no that's actually a pretty good idea!" Esther says and she walks up to my closet. "Hmm what about this one?" she says while she holds up a black cropped sweater, i don't really wear it that much but maybe it looks good with this dress.

After a lot of fittings I stick with the black dress with the black cropped hoodie over it so i don't feel that awkward. "So let's go!" Esther says while she gets up from the bed, "Where to?" I ask and i look at her, "Why don't we get some milkshakes and then just walk on the beach?" Esther says. I nod, "Let's do that!" I say. To be honest i was kinda scared that we would go to a party or something, but we're just going to the beach!

We walk out of my room and Corbs, Jack and Jonah are still sitting at out small table, they're playing with cards and just joking around. I smile, Corbs looks so happy right now! "Jonah we're going!" Esther says while she pulls me by my arm to the door. "Wait!" he says and he gets up from his chair. Esther lets go off me so i walk to Corbs and Jack, "I don't know when i'll be back so uhh don't wait for me okey?" I say, Corbs nods. "I won't! And have fun Elle you deserve it" he says, I just smile at him and i pull him into a hug. "Take care of him Jack" I quietly say to jack and he just nods. I walk back to Esther and Jonah, "Don't do any crazy stuff Esther!" Jonah says when he is about to walk away."I won't!" Esther says. "Hey have fun Elle" Jonah says while he grabs my wrist. "I will thanks" I say while i smile at him, "You have fun too here, and again thanks for coming" "Anytime" Jonah says and he lets go of my wrist. He walks back to Jack and Corbs and i walk to Esther. We open the door and we exit the room.
