If Only

Chapter Five: The Date

Heres another chapter for all you fellow readers, i hope you enjoy it and hope you have all been well. I send my best to everyone!

I'm quite nervous at the moment, it's a different type of nervousness to what I'm used to. I always get nervous before exams and the night before assignments are due but this feeling is different. I have butterflies instead of a sore stomach, the feeling is way better but i still don't like it.

"No Way!!!" Grace comes in yelling at me. I stayed at Grace's house last night and all of today and I am going on my date with Leo tonight. I decided that I really didn't want to go home after the talk I had with my mum at the party last night. So I decided to stay here all day and planned the date for tonight. I've never done something like this, I'm usually reliable and not rebellious. At the moment I have five texts from my sister telling me how selfish I am and that I need to come home. I left her on read. From my mum, after telling her that i'll be home tonight, i have seven texts and three missed calls. I think she's mad.

"What?" I asked not knowing why she was yelling at me.

"There is no way in hell you are wearing that on a date!"

"What's wrong with it?" I ask looking down at my attire. I am wearing my comfy oversized knitted jumper with black skinny jeans. When I came here I wasn't expecting to go on a date so it's not like I packed anything fancy. I can't wear what I wore to the party because grace vomited all over it after getting extremely drunk.

"It is nowhere near date worthy."

"I don't have anything else to wear. This is all I brought and I don't have time to go home to get anything else."

"No worries, I have plenty of clothes that you can borrow."

"Nothing you own will fit me, I'm way shorter and chubbier last night was lucky."

"Nonsense, I will find you something to wear and you're going to love it." She runs off to her closet to find me something to wear.

I feel like I've been sitting on this bed for hours but it has only been ten minutes, god what's taking her so long? I'm glad that I started to get ready early or I would be running really late.

"I have found the perfect outfit!!" Grace squeals as she comes running over.

"Took you long enough." I comment.

"Well you can't rush beauty, after you get changed I am going to do your makeup. Oh by the way I have a pair of shoes to go with the outfit, you're a size six right?."

"Yeah."

"Perfect."

I walk into her bathroom and get changed into the clothes that Grace had picked out for me. I look in the mirror and decide that there is no way in hell I am wearing this. It is a black off shoulder crop top that shows part of my stomach as well as my cleavage. With it is High Waisted denim blue jeans with a denim jacket. I mean the outfit is cute but it shows a lot of skin and I am not used to that. I am very self conscious about my body.

"Hurry up, I still need to do your makeup!" Grace yells, what's with her and yelling?

I walk out into her room and she is sitting on the bed looking down at her phone texting someone, probably Noah. I clear my throat and her head snaps and she is looking at me. She doesn't say anything, just stares. Do I really look that bad?

"It shows way too much skin and doesn't look that good on me, I think i should wear something else." I tell her.

"No way you look really good, I want you to keep those clothes, they look way better on you." She tells me.
