27. Party Between Us

"Life is like a party.
Dress like it."

•°•°•

It was a Saturday night. A perfect night for being safely tucked under the covers, reading books or trying out that one recipe I always wanted to make.

But no, I couldn't even have that.

Why?

Because of a certain (stupid) someone by the name of Claire aka my best friend.

"Brooke, get that fat, ugly, lazy ass of yours here and help me!" She hollered as she practically swum in a pool of my clothes.

"I told you I was just going to wear a cute top! I don't need a 'sexy' dress!" I whined as I stared up at the ceiling of my room. Claire was already dressed in a revealing red dress which hugged her body perfectly and highlighted her perfect curves.

I told her that I didn't want to wear a dress but she cut me off with a cold glare which could have sent me six feet under. Now she was rummaging through my wardrobe for a cute dress.

"Shut up, Darren and Brian can't see you like that  You have to wear something good for them to make googly eyes at you."

I rose up from the bed to glare at her back. "Shut up, I don't care! I'm not wearing something just for someone to see me."

"Aha! Found it!" She said as she dangled a dark blue dress which I didn't remember buying.

"I'm not wearing that," I stated.

She frowned at me. "Why not? It's really good."

"It's backless and will be very uncomfortable." I said, falling on the bed on my back again.

A soft fabric landed on my face, blocking my vision of the ceiling. I groaned. "Claire I don't want to wear it! You wear it yourself if you like the dress so much," I said as I removed the dress from my face.

"I wish but I'm already dressed up but thank you very much. Now get up!" She was now at my bedside, staring down at me with her hands on his hips.

"Ugh! I hate you," I said as I sat up. I grabbed the dress and went inside the bathroom. I put the dress on. It was good but I more than wanted to tear it off from my body.

Claire knocked on the bathroom door. "Are you done yet? Or have you dozed off?"

I glared at the closed door, "I indeed have dozed off!"

"Girl, get out of the bathroom!" She hollered from the outside.

"Jeez okay. I'm coming!" I said.

I took one last look at myself in the dress. It was dark blue and backless. It had long sleeves and it reached just above my knees.

"I think I should change maybe, into something else," I said as I yanked open the bathroom door.

Claire looked up at me with a frown on her face. "Why? You look good."

"I didn't wear this dress before. I didn't even know that I had it."

Claire snorted. "No surprise there. Your closet is even messier than a gooey ice cream. Now come on!" She said, clapping her hands together. "I'll do your makeup!"

An hour later, I stood in front of my mirror, my mouth agape as I stared at my reflection.
