I've never had so much fun in my life! Hope was so much fun to be with! She kept a smile on my face while she tossed dress after dress after dress at me. She even guessed my dress size correctly... That was just awesome. And she didn't hand me anything that would make me vomit, like any light colors, or pink... of any kind...
She just shoved me into dressing room after dressing room, and kept tossing dresses over the door for me to try on. I've tried on about a million dress, I think... And there were multiple dresses that I thought looked pretty good, but Hope refused to let me leave with any dress until she said it looked perfect.
And the mall was supposed to close in an hour, and we've gone to just about every store that sold dresses. And we've gone empty handed from every single store, and I think we've pissed off ALOT of people from the mess that we left behind.
It was fun though. Hope just dragged me to the last store in the mall that sold dresses, and she was sure that we'd find the perfect dress here. "Is it because it's the last store and there's no other choice?" I asked jokingly
Hope laughed, "No. But I just have a feeling. Now, you know what to do!" She said smiling
I grinned, and went into the first dressing room I found. Then I started taking off my clothes, and waited for Hope to toss me the first dress.
"Here it comes!" Hope shouted
She flung a dress over the door, and I caught it before it hit the ground. I'm ninja like that.
What you don't believe me?
Did you see that?
You're probably saying, 'See What?'
My point exactly. I'm ninja.
Anyways, I tried on the dress, It was red, lifted my breasts slightly to show them off, the length was to my mid-thy, Sleeveless, And was slightly tight around my waist... And tight in other places...
And I feel like a total hoe.
"You done?" Hope asked
"Yeah"
"Then come out! I wanna see."
I opened the door, and Hope looked wide eyed... And frowned. "You look...."
"Like a hoe." I finished
"Yeah.. Take it off and I'll bring you something else."
I nodded, and went back in. I took off the dress, and waited for Hope to toss me the next dress. I didn't have to wait long until a purple dress flew into my arms. Nice aim...
I put it on, and gasped in awe. I'm not really one to obsessively say, 'Look at me! I'm the most beautiful person this world has ever seen!' Or some other crap like that. Honestly, when people do that it pisses me off.
I looked at myself from all angles. I looked stunning, that is something that I will admit... The dress was purple well, actually a kind of dark purple with only a tad of sparkle, and went down to my knees, and whenever I moved, even an inch, the dress made every move seem graceful. It highlighted my figure, showed some cleavage, but not enough to make me seem like a slut. And the sleeves hung off my shoulders. I needed a strapless bra for this dress...
I still can't get over this... "You done?" Hope asked
"Yeah..."
"Oh, I like the sound of that yeah! lemmie see!"
I opened the dressing room door. And Hope went wide eyed, and gasped. Then she smiled brightly. "You look amazing! That dress was like, made for you! We are taking it!"
I smiled, and nodded. I went back into the dressing room and took off the dress, and put on my clothes. I hung the dress off my arm, and I walked up to the cashier. She glared at Hope who was waiting next to me. Uh, bitchy cashier much?
I gave her the dress, she scanned it, and my total with tax was, $100.34. I handed her two, one hundred bills, and she checked quickly to see if they were real. I rolled my eyes.
She looked at me weirdly, handed me my change, and Kept looking at me. "Hey, would you stop staring? I'm rich, is that hard to understand? In your case staring at me like I just robbed a bank it is." I told her, glaring
She looked taken aback, and scoffed at me before walking away.
Whatever. Hope and I walked out of the store, and made our way out of the mall. When we got outside I gasped. Was it really that late?
The sky was pitch black. I checked my cell phone. Oh gosh, it was almost eleven at night.... Awesome...
I started walking to my car, but Hope stopped me. "Hand me your phone"
I nodded, and handed her my phone. She fiddled around with it then gave it back.
"I put in my number and sent myself a text, I'll be texting you tomorrow so I can come over and help you get ready for tomorrow."
I smiled, "Alright, I'll see you later then."
Hope hugged me, and started to walk off to her car. And so did I.

I opened the front door to my house, and the first thing I saw was Erebus, sitting on a chair... Looking pissed.
I rolled my eyes, "What are you looking at?"
He totally ignored my question, and shot up from the chair, and pushed me into a wall. He put his arms on either side of me, caging me so I couldn't leave.
My eyes instantly turned deadly red. And I don't give a rats ass if he sees. "Where the HELL were you!?" He yelled in my face.
I kept my hands at my sides, I felt my hands slowly curl into fists. I was aching to punch him in the face. "Why does it matter to you? I have a life you know! Yeah, sure, at school I'm pretty much hated by everybody, but that doesn't mean that outside of school I don't have a life!" My arm twitched, and I had to keep from punching him right now.
Erebus opened his mouth to respond, but I wasn't finished. "I can make friends. I may be a freak, but I can suppress what happens to me! So if you think for one second that you're the only person that I talk to, you're WAY wrong! And I don't see why you need to know where I was. Fuck you Erebus! And get on with your own life!" I screamed.
Erebus looked at me dumbfounded. I couldn't take it anymore, and I punched him in the face.
He flew away from me, and smashed into the wall across from me. I was so overcome with anger that I walked toward him, picked him up as if he were a feather, And tossed him into another wall where the force actually made a hole in the wall.
I walked toward the hole to see if he was dead, (Which I hoped he was) But the second I looked down at him, he tackled me to the ground. He didn't punch me, kick me, or anything. He just kept me on the floor. But either way, it pissed me off.
"GET THE FUCK OFF OF ME EREBUS!" I screeched
"No! You need to calm down!"
"DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO ASSHOLE!" I yelled
"Listen to me! I'm sorry for butting in! I won't do it again! Just please, calm down!"
I squirmed in his grasp, And felt something on my chest. I looked, and it was a drop of blood.
I looked up at Erebus, and he was bleeding pretty badly from his nose, and he had a black eye forming on his right eye.
I sneered at him, and took deep breaths. Until I felt the red in my eyes start to go away. Erebus got off of me, and I wordlessly walked upstairs to my room.
I slammed the door behind me, I hate him so much. My eyes flashed red, only for a second.
I sighed, got some random PJs, walked to my bathroom, took a quick shower, and went to bed, I didn't bother with the covers. And Sleep overtook me before my head hit the pillow.
****
I woke up with my brain pounding against my skull. And the light shining from my window directly at my face didn't help at all. I moaned, and turned to my side where it was darker. And warmer.
Wait, warmer? My eyes snapped open, and I was looking at Erebus sleeping soundly beside me. I looked at my position on my bed, Erebus had his arm around my waist, and he just pulled me closer, making my face pretty much collide with his chest. Uh, weird much?!
The pain in my head forgotten, I snuck out of his arms, and smacked the back of his head. His eyes opened, and he saw me.
Then he got wide eyed. "Bia! Uh, I can explain! I- Er, Well, I... Yeah, I can't explain..."
I glared, and crossed my arms. "What are you doing in my bed!? When did you even get here!?" I shouted
"Well, first off, NOTHING happened! Second, I just wanted to see how you were doing, and I kinda watched you sleep, then I fell asleep... And the arm thing must have happened in my sleep."
I nodded as if I really cared. Which I didn't. "Cute. Now leave. My head is going to kill me, and I just want some pain killers. And before you leave, close these damn curtains. They just make my head hurt worse.
"So I take it school is out of the question?" He asked
"Totally. But you can go. I don't really care." I said as I walked into my bathroom to search for a pain killer of any kind for my head. I found some Tylenol, and popped two pills in my mouth. I got a cup of water from the tap, and I swallowed.
I came out, and Erebus already left my room. And he closed the curtains, thank god... I faintly heard the front door close, and When it did I went back to bed, and closed my eyes while I waited for the meds to kick in and put me to sleep.
****
I woke up again, with my head feeling much better than it did before. And I felt refreshed.
What time is it? I looked at my clock. Whoa 3:47 P.M I got up, and before I even took one step my phone chimed. I looked at it and it was a text from Hope.
'Heyy I'm gonna come over. whats ur address?'
'435 Wallby Street.'
'K thanks'
I put my phone down, and headed downstairs from some lunch. I might just die from how hungry I was. When I went downstairs, the front door opened. I looked and it was Erebus. "Hey sleepy head." He said smirking at me
"Hi." I said tonelessly, walking to the kitchen. I opened up the cupboards and I found a box of Pasta Roni. I took it, and started to cook. And it was done within ten minutes.
I put it in a bowl, and went to the living room, turned on the TV, and ate peacefully. I was watching 'Good Luck Charlie' Hey, I like that show...
When I was finished, I washed my bowl, got a can of soda and chugged it down. I threw it away, and then the doorbell rang.
I opened, and Hope was there, looking happy. She hugged me, and I invited her inside.
We went up to my room, talking about nothing really important, what music we liked, and stuff like that. And from the corner of my eye I saw Erebus sticking his head out of his room. Hope was talking, and didn't notice. I turned my head towards Erebus, and shot daggers at him.
He saw the look I was giving him, and went back into his room. I closed the door behind me when me and Hope got in my room. "Alright, first, take a shower, wash your hair, And I'll handle everything after that. When I'm done you're going to be the most beautiful girl in the world! David won't know what hit him." Hope said
I laughed, and went to the bathroom, "Oh, and the dress goes last." Hope shouted
"Why?"
"You don't want makeup to fall on the dress and ruin it do you?"
"True. Alright, I'll be right out."
I went to a closet, and got Underwear, and a Strapless bra. I took my shower, put on the Bra, and Underwear, then got out. I shivered, my hair was wet, and the water was really cold...
I gasped at the sight. Hope had everything ready. She found my hairdryer, flat iron, And my makeup kit. This was going to take a while...
Hope took me by the shoulders, sat me down on my bed, and got started.
