Heart Strings

I sincerely apologize for any future typographical or grammatical errors.

I didn't pick up, just in case you are wondering. I don't know why Andrew would be calling me. He never has before. Wasn't he supposed to be on his honey moon or something?

I brush the thought out of my mind and tune in on the conversation before me.

Alice holds up two dresses looking from me to the redhead sitting by my left in Ali's bedroom. "i was going to go dress shopping with you, but you've been so busy with God knows what, that you barely reply my messages and i couldn't wait till someone else got the ones i wanted " she says to me.

My face twists in sympathy. "I'm sorry, it's just with the on going exams and all, i rarely have time for anything, and Kyle keeps forcing me to sleep."

It's true. Exams are almost over and honestly I've never been more stressed about anything before. And with the spare time i have, i hang out with Mona, if Kyle isn't bugging me about one thing or the other that is.

Turns out Mona's actually more than what i thought. She wasn't joking at all when she told me she has a temper. The other day she broke a guys nose outside a small super market when he tried physically abusing her.

He'd been drunk out of his mind and seen a shy smallish girl and thought he could get away with whatever not know that other impulsive side to her.

I remember the first time she and Alice met, just a few days ago. They hated each other. Alice thought she was one of those girls that can't speak for themselves, I'm pretty sure she'd silently been wandering why i even hang out with her. Mona on the other hand saw Ali as one of those rich snobby cheerleaders and that was enough for her to decide she completely despises her.

Two of them together in a room was a steam of so much tension. Until Alice decided she wanted to hand over her judgmental witt and Mona lost it, putting my friend in her place there and then. Just like she did with her sister in the hallway last week, except with less cussing and swearing.

Then surprise, surprise, they formed a bond over witt. I still don't get what that means.

"You've already done your prom shopping? " Mona asks lifting a brow.

"Of course i have. Who do you think i am " Ali says in a duh tone.

Prom.

That's right, we'll be leaving highschool in a couple weeks. I wonder why people stress so much about that, to me there is really no big deal about prom but my friend here Carrie's it like some kind of crown on her head.

Like The one she plans to wear on said event. She has always wanted to be prom queen and she always was, but this year is more special to her since it is grad year.

"so... "Ali moves the dresses closer to our view. "which one? "

The one to her right is an off shoulder, bright red waist flee floor length dress with black lace designs. While the one to her right is a backless and sleeveless, body hug, golden floor length dress with a high slit to the left.

Ali has always had a great taste fashion wise. I can't possibly choose from this two master piece of fabric.

"Um.... It's gorgeous? " i suggest. They both shoot me a look that makes me sink dipper into the fluffy mattress and keep shut.

"I love them both!" Mona says using her hands to straighten the faint rough creases on the red one "I love the embroidery of this one but I feel like a lot of people would be wearing red, it's an attractive color and really catchy but it's better you stand out than a blend in with rainbows right?"
