You're Not Like the Others

Ch.12

1 MONTH LATER

It was now December and I was shopping for Christmas presents for Abby, Nick, Aaron, Zak, and of course my dad. Me and the guys have been getting along, you could say we're best friends. Anytime that I'm feeling down Aaron's there to make me laugh, Nick's like a big brother to me, and Zak's been there for me since day one. And I know I'm going against on what the guys said about getting them presents, but it's in my nature to buy my friends alittle something.

"So what are you planning on doing on Christmas Eve?" my best friend Jessica asked as we were in the toy aisle looking for Abby's presents

"Well...Zak asked me to go to his mom's house for Christmas Eve" I said as I picked up a Barbie and examined it

"Well are you going to go?"

"I don't know" I said sighing and putting the box back on the shelf

"What do you mean you don't know? I can tell you two love each other, you should go...Didn't you tell me that you met his mom and said that she liked you? That's a freakin' bonus Kayla!"

"I know"

"Then go"

"Ok, I'll think about it"

"NO, there's no thinking about it, you're going to go even if I have to drag you there by your toes, you're going"

"Ok, I'll go" I said laughing

We looked around for alittle bit and I finally got Abby a couple of dolls, a new princess tiara, some clothes, and Connect Four. We checked out and packed everything in the car

"OH! I've still got to get a dress, the People's Choice Awards is next month"

"WHAT?! You're going?" Jessica asked

"Yeah, I guess I forgot to tell you, Zak invited me to the People's Choice Awards" I said laughnig nervously

"That means he's definatley into you, let's go get you a sexy dress"

I groaned and got into her car. We drove for about 45 minutes and finally Jessica parked infront of a store called Best Fashions Boutique. When she got out of the car she came to my side and pulled me out and drug me inside the store.

"Jessica will you slow down! And quit dragging me, I can walk on my own!"

she finally let go of me

"Here ya go"

I looked at the dresses and then wrinkled my nose up

"Jess...That's something you would wear"

The dresses were strapless and barely covered your upper thigh, I wouldn't even consider these as dresses

"Come on, it would look good on you"

"Yeah, maybe at a club but I'm not going to one"

"Fine" she sighed in defeat

we walked around the store looking at all the dresses and I finally dound one after what seemed like hours. I paid for the dress and we left. Jess dropped me off at my house and I went inside and hid all the presents and put my dress up while Abby was with Gloria and her grandkids.

It was finally Christmas Eve and I was getting Abby ready to go to Zak's house.

"Mommy... is Chelsea and Mark going to be there?" she asked as I tried to banana curl her hair

"Yes sweetie, everyone's going to be there" I said as I got done curling a part of her hair
