Freaks Like Us

Chapter Twenty-Four

A month has passed now into April, and my wrapped wrist have finally come free. Now you just see faint lines where the chains dug in the most. Lucas's cuts healed completely, so he lucked out.

One of the closest traditions we do that the humans do as well is Prom. It's huge in the human world. We love it too, but they can defiantly go to extremes.

The school brings in extra dresses just for this dance. So, naturally Robin dragged me down the shop first notice of Prom was hung on the bulletin board.

"You are getting a red dress whether you like it or not!", yelled Robin running me into the door to the shop.

We ran to the back, and they even set up a little walk-way for us to 'show-off' I guess. Robin wanted me to pick her dressed while she got mine. She said something white or black.

"It's Prom, not a wedding nor a funeral.", I said shaking my finger in her face.

"I don't care!", she replied turning back to the dresses.

They had them organized in rainbow fashion, so black and white were in few towards the end of the racks. She was at the beginning and we began the search.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

She pulled 11 dresses, I got 7. She was disappointed I only picked 7 considering I had two colors to choose from, but she whisked them away to the dressing room.

After I narrowed it down to three dress that looked pretty to me, which was easy.

I tried the first one on, and of course it was a red one that flowed as the dress got longer all the way down to my ankles. Then at the top was bedazzled with mixture of glitter and big or small gems. I sparkled in the light which just blinded you if it hit you right.

"Ready!", screamed Robin.

"Sure?, I said yelling back.

We both walked out and had both a disgusted face.

"Ew.", we cried out.

She had a black dress that was covered up to her neck and very short. Other then black, it had one gem in the center where her belly button would be.

"Next!", she said turning back into the room.

I picked out the next red one and it was a tight fitting dress that ran down to my ankles again. When it reached the thighs the dress was cut so you could see up to there, and it waved back and forth when you walked. Then the top had straps that just wrapped around my neck. Better.

We walked back out together and our faces were disgusted nor wowed. She wore a white dress this time that was low to high and strapless.

"Okay. Next!", she screamed going back in.

My final one was again red, I know a surprise, that was tight at the top as well as being strapless. Then, after my hips it was loose and the fabric was folded over itself. So, when you turned it flattened out and would spin with you. It only went down to my knees, but I like it.

I walked out and we each had a surprised face. She had a one shoulder sleeve on her right that was also right at the top it was tight as well as with the bottom. However, the top part was white and the bottom was black.

"Perfect.", we both said in unison. Then laughed of course. We went back in and changed back.

We got our dresses and skipped happily to meet up with Lucas and Liam outside.
