We're Just Friends

~Chapter 12~

This is just my day, isn't it? Takashi was with Skylar and Kyle. The guys began to walk towards us. Takashi and I haven't done much talking and hanging out since the whole pillow fight and hand-holding incident. Rachel apparently was watching us and told Danielle and Beverly we held hands, but thank the lord and all things that are holy she didn't see the whole pillow fight incident. We made eye contact for a split second then Takashi looked at the ground, a blush spreading across on his face. I just want to run far away from this but I can't, Rachel drove me here and now Rachel would have to drive me back. I thought for just a moment and then started to walk away. I started walking down one of the isles that had just the oldest dresses. The escape was almost too easy before I had another chance to think Danielle grabbed me by the back of my shirt and began to drag me back to everyone. "Just let me go and no one will know," I said, she just shook her head at me and laughed. "Look Jane you can't hide from your problems. Just because your embarrassed to be near Takashi doesn't mean you can run from him." Danielle said. "I can if I run fast enough," I replied before she let me go. Danielle then turned me around and everyone was just staring at me. "So are you three shopping for dresses too?" I asked, looking between the three boys. "Not today. We're just looking at tuxedos for the dance." Skylar replied. "What if we all looked at stuff together," Beverly suggested. "I don't think anyone wants to do that. It was nice seeing you three but you guys must be soo busy." I said, trying to pull Rachel away. "I don't think anyone cares Jane." Rachel said, looking around you could see their heads nodding in agreement. I sighed and let go of Rachel. "Let's get shopping, shall we?" I said, with a cheer we all began to look around. We looked at the tuxedos first, they had a lot of options but with our help, we decided on four for each boy. That took at least an hour, considering they were trying them on then screwing but we got it done. Moving to the dresses you could tell this was going to take longer than the tuxes. It wasn't just the amount of options, it was 'you look cute in this' or 'try this on' from everyone to the girls, it took a while for some of us to decide on the dress, then we spent longer because some of us, like myself, didn't like the dress and had to find something else. "Jane, everyone has a dress but you. Hurry up." Rachel said as I came out of the changing room, multiple dresses in hand. "I can't help it, I don't like how I look in those dresses," I replied. "Try this, we all picked it out for you." Rachel said and handed me a purple dress. I only nodded and went back into the changing after trading her the dresses I had in hand. I put on the dress and took a good look at it. It an off-shoulder dress, it was dark purple, it had a bejeweled belt, and it sparkles near the waist. I mean this dress was really something, I thought it was beautiful. I decide that I want this dress so I walked out to show others that were just standing around and talking. "That dress looks great on you." Rachel complimented, the others nodding in agreement. "Thanks, for both picking out the dress and the compliment," I said, smiling at the dorks around me. "Now, let me help and zip it up to make sure it's comfortable." Rachel said. I nodded and began to walk back to the changing room. The room only what I could guess as Rachel followed behind me she stepped on my dress. I wasn't ready so I fell backward. I just waited for my back to hit the floor or to fall on Rachel, but neither happened.
