LEAH WAS SCREAMING along to the lyrics of Royals by Lorde as I tried to fit into the uncomfortable dress I was going to wear tonight.

It was nearing 8 o'clock in the evening and Leah, Julia, and I were in my room getting changed. Julia and Leah were in the bathroom as I attempted to fit in the dress Leah picked out for me. Lorde was blasting from the speaker they had dragged into the bathroom which was not helping the headache I had, but I hummed along anyway.

The boys were downstairs. They showered and got changed at least an hour ago and were downstairs watching a sports game. I wasn't sure which one, but they sounded excited from up here. 

Julia did my makeup a while ago and Leah curled my hair for me. Leah and Julia were in the bathroom finishing up their makeup. I, again, was trying to fit into the dress.

The dress I was trying to fit into was brand new. Tonight would be the first time I would wear the dress and Julia and Leah were excited to see me in it. The dress was black and velvet. The right side of the dress ended right after my hip and cascaded down under my left knee. It was sleeveless but was being held up with two thin Spaghetti straps, a long zipper held the dress together.

With the dress, Leah handed me a long piece of jewelry. It was gold and thin on one side and the other side was studded with bright white diamonds. I had fastened the long necklace around my neck and let it fall and rest on my cleavage. With the remaining length of the necklace, I fastened it around my waist.

I got the dress around my hip, but now all I had to do was shimmy it to the top and up to my shoulders

I got the dress around my hip, but now all I had to do was shimmy it to the top and up to my shoulders. I held onto the sides and braced myself before jumping up as I pulled the dress up. I let out a sigh of relief when the dress was now around my chest. Just a little bit more...

"Hey, Eden! Are you ready?" Julia called out and I groaned slightly as the dress's straps were finally able to slip over my shoulders.

"Yeah, yeah. Can you zip me up though?" I called back.

A few seconds later, Julia walked out of the bathroom and I gasped as I looked at her. She looked stunning. Her curly hair was pulled back in a low ponytail, a few strands framing her face. Her makeup was done naturally except for her lips which were a deep shade of red. As for her dress, she was dressed simply in a beige jersey bodycon. As for jewelry, she had on a simple bracelet and a ring.
