In Frost

Chapter 8 Dress Shopping

When the bell rang for the end of class, everyone dashed to the door, when I tried to go through, Chloe shoved me hard out of her way, I nearly fell.

She looked at me with a smirk on her face, then she looked away from me as she rushed off with the crowd. "Don't push" Mr Dylan called, but he was too late.

I rolled my eyes as I walked my way to my locker, I put my stuff in my locker, grabbed my bag and went to the front of school to meet up with Gwen and Izzy.

"Hey Sonya" Izzy said as I walked to them. "Hey."

They told me that Mrs Welder, Izzy's mum would drop us off at the shops and would pick us up.

Her mum's car was parked not to far away from school, she was out of the
car when we walked over to her.

"Hello girls" she said cheerfully. We gave her a short wave as we got into the car.

"So where do you want me to drop you girls off?" she asked as we drove out of school.

We all looked at each other, Izzy was sitting in the front seat next to her mum and me and Gwen sat in the backseat.

"Just drop is off near the shopping center" Izzy said, looking at her mum. She didn't look at her, she kept her eyes on the road, but from the rear window, I could see her nod.

About 10 minutes later, we arrived at the shops, Mrs Welder told us she would be back to pick us up at 6:00. "I'll see you later" she said cheerfully, we waved goodbye to her as she drove away.

We went into a few prom dress stores, but they had nothing that interested us. Then we noticed A new shop that we had never been in before, "Darla's Prom and Formal Wear" was written in fancy golden letters on the sign. We decided to go in and take a look.

The store wasn't even that busy, only a few customers, some of then were kids from school already looking at prom dresses. 'May I help you three?" A woman's voice asked from behind us. We all spun around to see a young woman.

She had blond hair tied in a ponytail and it eyes that seemed to sparkle.

She had a name tag on her uniform which read in black capital letters:"ELIZABETH." We all looked at each other, "We're looking at prom dresses" I said quickly.

She nodded as she pointed to an isle. "The prom dress isle is over there" she said with a bright smile, "if you need anything, let me know."

We thanked her as we made our way to the isle. We looked at a few dresses, but some of them were really weird. Like really weird, there was this one dress that just made me cringe.

I mean, the colours are just, yuck! Gwen and Izzy thought so to when I showed it to them.

"This store has some weird dresses" Izzy remarked. We laughed as we continued looking. Gwen managed to find this really pretty dress in the racks, she showed it to us before she tried it on.

It was a short red dress with straps. It looked really good on her. "What do you think?" She asked us when she showed it off.

"You look great" Izzy said, "Really good" I added. We laughed as me and Izzy continued looking for dressed. It wasn't long before Izzy found a dress. It was a long black dress with thin straps, she went to go try it on.

10 minutes later, she came back wearing her dress. She looked good on it, Izzy and Gwen waited while I looked for my dress. I kept looking through the racks, but I couldn't find anything.

I was about to give up when I saw it, the dress. I saw it from the corner of my eye. I pulled it out of the rack and examined it.

It was a long white silky dress, it was so beautiful. I instantly walked over to the change rooms and tried it on.

I showed it off to Gwen and Izzy. "It looks good on you" Gwen said, "It defiantly suits you" Izzy added.

We got changed out of our dresses and Izzy paid for all of us. It was really nice of her.

Afterwords, we left the shop and Izzy texted her mum to pick us up. Her mum texted back saying that she would be here in 10 minutes. To kill time, we decided to go and look around the shops.

We decided to go into a small bookstore, there wasn't many people in though. I began looking through the bookshelves, hoping to find any books I hadn't read.

"Hello Sonya" I jumped as I turned around to see who it was. I knew instantly who it was and I began glaring at her. "What do you want Amanda?" I asked her crossing my arms.

She sighed. Amanda is apart of Chloe's group of populars, she doesn't bully me but I still didn't like her. A friend of Chloe isn't a friend of mine. She dark brown chocolate hair and green eyes.

"I just wanna see how you're doing after what Chloe did" She said like she actually cared. I scoffed. "I'm fine, So why don't you just go away." I began to walk away when she called out, "Do you want to know how that Slushy made you the way you are?"

I stopped and turned back to her. "Chloe told me a few days ago" she added. 'What do you know?" I asked her curiously. Amanda took a long breath.

"A few days ago, Chloe told us that an old woman had given her some strange liquid a few days ago, she planned to give it to you as a prank. "

"If that is true, then why didn't you tell me, or at least warm me" I said angrily.

She sighed again, "I didn't think you would believe me if I told you, I tried to tell Chloe not to do it but she threatened me Sonya, she threatened to humiliate me at prom!"

I stared at her, I wasn't the only one she planned to humiliate, Maybe it was just me and Amanda, maybe she planned to humiliate everyone but her friends, a way to make everyone to remember that day in the most twisted way possible.

Okay, maybe I'm going a bit overboard but this Chloe we're talking about, she doesn't just mess and wreak your life, she tries to destroy your life in the most horrible way possible.

"Thank you for telling me this Amanda" I said calmly. "Just don't tell anyone I was here, I don't want any of this getting back to Chloe" She said uneasily. Then she rushed away just as I was about to go look for Izzy and Gwen.

Not long after, Izzy's mum came and picked us up, she dropped me off at my hose and then drove away. The first thing that I noticed was that dad's car was parked in the driveway. Oh no, what was he doing home so early?

Hesitantly, I went inside and began looking for mum. I found both mum and dad in the dining room. Mum was sitting down, looking miserable while dad was standing up, glaring at me.

He looked furious, "Where the hell have you been?!"
