|Zahaire|
Before I know it, Audree is over at my dorm room with a bunch of clothes and her makeup bag.
"So," Audree throws her clothes on my bed. "I kinda wanna wear something that screams 'Oh she's sexy' but something that also says 'She's cute without trying too hard', ya know?"
I look at Audree and I shake my head slowly, a look of pure confusion spreads across my face.
"No, I do not know. I'm going in a simple shirt and some jeans." I grab my phone and raise it up to my face.
It unlocks itself and I proceed to scroll through Instagram double tapping on some pictures of these bad girls and liking a couple of memes and anything else that pops up on my feed.
"Hellooo, are you listening?"
I glance up from my phone and Audree lets out a long breath.
"Should I wear this?" Audree places a simple black dress over her body before moving it to the side and replacing it with a crop top and some jeans. "Or this?"
Honestly, I don't know which option I like, they both seem like something that would pass at a party.
"Whichever one is fine." I reply nonchalantly as I take a seat on my bed.
"Whichever one is fine." Audree mocks me. "Zahaire!"
Audree grabs my phone from my hands.
"Hey!"
She holds the phone over her head and I scoff softly to myself.
She does know I'm like a good five inches taller than her, right? I think to myself.
"Give me my phone." I demand.
"Promise to help me pick my outfit out!"
Knowing Audree, she'll be super stubborn about what she wants so I just comply with her for now so I can get my phone back.
I nod my head and Audree hands me my phone.
"Go with the crop top and jeans so you're not basic and dressed like every other girl in the party."
Audree nods her head before she disappears into the bathroom.
I'm assuming she's gonna be in there for a while so I get up and walk to my boxes that are stacked neatly in the corner of the room.
I open the box that's labeled clothes and I grab the first shirt and pair of black jeans that I see.
After I change my clothes, I lay back onto my bed and wait for Audree.
About forty minutes later, she finally exits the bathroom.
"Come on slowpoke." She grabs her phone and sticks it in her pocket.
I scoff, grabbing my car keys before replying to her as we walk out the door.
"I'm the one who was waiting for you and I'm the slowpoke?"
