Don't Look Back- Chapter 32

make-up and hair for homecoming. I was going for the more simple look

since most people sweat off their make-up or put their hair up into a

ponytail.

Jessica on the other hand was going all-out. She bought this

extravagant red dress, and is now in the process of curling her hair

to put it in an up-do.

I asked her why she's doing it, and she told me because it's her last

homecoming.

The thing that sucked the most was that I didn't have a date. It's my

of my silver dress.

“What?” She stopped parting her hair and turns to me with her mouth

hanging open. I laughed at her expression and walked out of the

bathroom and into the hallway. Taking a deep breath to collect my

thoughts, I walked down the stairs where our shoes are.

I was sitting down in front of the three boxes of shoes I brought

down. I couldn't decide what ones would be better.

Finally, I picked the silver ones. After putting them on – which takes

me almost a minute for each shoe – Jessica finally comes downstairs.

Her hair was perfect and shiny, almost like she got it done at a
