“I like this dress.” Bridget squeals. I’ve never been this tired before. I don’t even remember walking into the store.

“I know right. What do you think, Macy?” Elizabeth asks holding up an off white lace dress.

“Its beautiful. Do you want me to go try it on?” I ask still half asleep.

“Oh I was thinking this one for myself. I found this dress though.” Elizabeth laughs holding up a dress where the top half is white until it gets to the rib cage then has a green skirt. I don’t need anymore white dresses anyway. I have too many already.

“I like it.” I compliment. I start to realize Josiah, Brock, and Wes aren’t here. “Where’s Josiah?” I sound more panicked than I really am.

“Him, Wes, and Brock went to get Josiah a dress shirt.” Elizabeth says. “You just can’t last a second without him can’t you.” I laugh because what she’s saying is almost true. We’ve been spending the entire day talking, holding hands, and hugging and cuddling. Going even a second without Josiah frightens the hell out of me.

“Well, go try on the dress.” Bridget demands as I start to zone out.

*Flashback*

“Okay on the count of three we walk over and sit next to them.” Danielle jesters to Kolbe and Danielle's twin brother Damien sitting in a couple booth.

“I’ll go with.” Bridget suggests. The macaroni and cheese is very rich making me full. Unless it’s the salad and corndog taking up the space.

Both Bridget and Danielle walk over to the booth. Bridget next to Damien. Kolbe next to Danielle. I then run over like a paparazzi with my phone and take a photo. Damien has a huge smile on his face. Bridget looks uncomfortable. Danielle is like you did not just take a picture of me. And Kolbe is smiling all casual.

“Well, I’m going to go get some desert.” Damien says as Bridget stands up for Josiah to step out of the booth. I then scoot into where Damien was sitting and Bridget sits where Kolbe and Danielle are sitting squishing them into the booth.

“You do know when he comes back you’ll have to stand up right?” Danielle says.

“He can sit on the floor.” I say.

“You have to be kidding me.” Damien says. “How am I supposed to eat my tapioca?” He then grabs the fork he used for his steak.

“Ewe!” Danielle, Bridget, and I say in unison as I cringe at the sight. I then fall out of the booth as Damien sits into the booth that I was just in and Danielle sits next to him. I walk away to grab my wallet from where Lila is sitting. When I come back I sit next to Bridget. I then start to read my book.

*out of flashback*

“Hello anyone there.” Bridget says waving her hand in my face pulling me out of my flashback. That day was hilarious. Even though the next day Damien was pissed off.

“Sorry was remembering our judication day when we were in seventh grade.” I explain.

“Hey, lunch that day was hilarious. Now go try on this dress.” Bridget says handing me the green and white dress.
