4:39, I should get ready.
I put on a white nike sweatshirt, and a light pink pleaded skirt with white and pink Air Jordans.
I walk to my bathroom and put on my makeup, after, I pull the strands of blonde hair framing my face back into a white claw clip creating a half up half down, I then pull a front piece out on each side and feel satisfied with the look. It's basic, but cute.
4:56, alright, 30 minutes to relax.

"okay, let's go to Versace, they might have something"
I feel the ball growing in my throat knowing I can't buy anything without them questioning me.
"Oh my god! Scarlett! This dress would look perfect on you"
I hear their chorus of sequels as they look at dresses.
I started spacing out the second we walked in mindlessly gazing over the dress section until my eyes stop on a light blue silk dress with lace exploring the sides reaching down to the floor. the top of the dress drapes down slightly with the silks loose fabric, the curve of the dress would show of my natural curves perfectly, this is exactly what I need. I walk closer and flip around the tag to see the price, 6k. great.
How am I supposed to find a dress?
I internally scream and pretend as if I never saw the dress walking towards the girls muffled voices from the changing room.
"Find anything?" I say loud enough for the pair to hear
"yes! I found THE perfect dress" Aiyana says exasperating 'the'
"You?" she says returning the question
"um, no not yet, i'll just wear one of the dresses I already own" I say hoping she doesn't say something else
She sighs and looks at me making eye contact "are you sure it's good for the gala?" I can tell she's trying not to be offensive
"I assure you, it'll be fine" I smile at her, her eye brows relax at my sentence
I turn around to see the three boys, Cody and Angel are sitting on a satin black couch on their phones, impatience evident in their features, chase however, ended up buying something. Probably found something that would go well for the gala.
I spin on my heal to face the two girls again and see them walking out of the dressing rooms with a dress in Aiyanas hand, none in Scarletts.
"Is there another store we can find you a dress at?" I ask her knowing that she told me earlier she's really relying on this mall trip to find something.
"Yeah, I was thinking Adair, if that's alright" she whispers making sure no one else heard her, i'm still pretty mad at myself for folding and not just lying to her. but
"Yeah, i'll just go get pretzels or something and drag Angel with me" I say smiling at her
she mouths thank you to me before turning around at motioning for the three boys to stand up because we're done.
"Angel, come with me" I say grabbing his hand and dragging him with me
"where are we going?"
"where are you guys going" Aiyana says realizing we left
"yeah! what the hell" Cody adds
"I'm hungry and I don't want to go alone"
They all shrug and continue walking towards Adair
"Why couldn't you go with anyone else?"
"so you don't want to hang out with me" I fake sniffle wiping a fake tear off my face
"haha real funny, way to guilt trip me sky" he says pulling me under his arm as he rubs his knuckles into my head
"ow!" I half scream half laugh at the action
He chuckles and let's me go walking up to the pretzel place.
He's like a big brother, it's partially annoying, but really fun.
Aiyana's Pov
"What are you ladies looking for today" the same tall man from the last time we were here asks looking between the two of us
"dresses, for a gala" Scarlett says smiling
"Our section for dresses is right over here, longer ones, more suiting for events as the one you mentioned are on the left."
"thank you" I say grabbing her hand and pulling her towards the dresses
"Oh! Are you ladies by any chance the ones that accompanied Ms. Churchill in her last visit here not too long ago"
"you must have us confused sir" I say, who does he think we are?
"oh, my apologies ma'am I thought that you were Ms. Scarlett, a kind girl I met with Ms. Adriana"
"Scarlett? Her name is Scarlett" I say gesturing to Scarlett who was standing there as if she saw a ghost. what the hell?
"My apologies sir, but, I am not the Scarlett you are thinking of"
"I believed you young ladies went to boarding school with her, those young men outside the store were here as well, well, I am so sorry to stop you, please, continue your shopping"
"why the hell does he think we were here with a Churchill. I've never heard of the family having a girl named Adriana either. Plus, we were here with sky last, maybe she looks like that adriana girl" I say shrugging at the thought of the earlier conversation.
"yeah, must look like her." Scarlett says with a slight stutter. okay?
After looking around for a little Scarlett finds a dress she really likes, it hugs her waist perfectly and makes her look hot as hell.
Once she pays we turn around and I make eye contact with sky. She's been gone a while.
I swear to god if my fucking brother falls for her!
Aiyana relax, it's not going to happen, nothing is going to happen.
"sky! hey! We found Scarlett a dress" I smile at the blonde in front of me, her blue eyes look so pretty in the sun.
"Ms. Churchill, I knew it was you" The same talk man says to sky. this again? seriously?
Right before I can remind him that she must just look like the Adriana girl she hesitantly turn around and smiles at him and says "It's good to see you again sir"
what. the. fuck.
"sky?" I say just bellow a whisper so the boys sitting right outside the store don't hear the exchange
"Aiyana, I promise I will tell you later please, please don't say anything to anyone, I will explain this." she whispers, fear clear in her oceanic eyes.
"I-um- yeah, okay. Scarlett! You bought the dress right?" I look down to see the Adair bag in her hand
"perfect, let's go" I urge grabbing the two girls hands and pulling them outside of the store to meet the three lost puppies waiting for us.
_
"Okay, we're in the dorms, no one is here."
"explain."
"now."
Hey! Sorry that's like hella repetitive how they both found out practically the same way I just want her to be able to have someone to go to about the situation but I hope you are enjoying the story!
