Libertys Dress: (I actually love this dress omg)
--------------------
Maddy stretched like a cat and yawned so wide I was almost certain it would create a black hole. ‘Yeah, I dunno’ she said post-yawn. ‘Maybe four? No wait...’ She looked at the ceiling of my lounge room, as if the light mounted into the wall would provide some insight into her holiday of sex starts. ‘Yeah. Four’ she scratched her eyebrow. We were all currently gossiping about our summer holiday, because Maddy was a year older than the rest of us, she did a lot more intense stuff than I would usually do on my holidays. I wriggled on my chair. Partly because although it was September it was bloody boiling, and scratchy sweat pants + sweaty thighs = not comfy. But also because I had a secret. Well, it wasn’t a secret, but at the same time I didn’t want to just shout it out. A girl has standards.
‘Nice recap Mads, aren’t you going to meet that boy band with Liberty? what were they called again? One Direction?’ I immediately froze, oh god. It was tomorrow and I was freaking out and having a mental breakdown inside my head, ‘U-um yeah’ I stuttered while wiping my forehead which had been covered in a thick layer of sweat. ‘Liberty is gonna get her a man!’ Maddy wolf whistled and wiggled her eyebrows. All heads turned to me and I felt like I was going to pee my pants, thanks a lot Maddy for making it a tad more unbearable and making me want curl into a ball and die. I gulped nervously as their eyes widened and creepy smiles erupted onto their faces.
‘Aw my little Lib Lib is growing up’ Bella cried and wiped a fake tear from her eye. The other girls all spurted different girlish giggles as I rolled my eyes and slumped down even further into my seat and hid my face with a pillow. ‘You guys are making me nervous’ I said as they cooed. ‘So tell us which hunk you get to marry!’ Ellie squealed, ‘Well his name’s Harry...’I started, but was drowned out by my friend’s shrieks. there was a split second when the room went silent and everyone turned to look at me, waiting for my reaction, but it was over as soon as it begun when none other than the gorgeous boy band appeared on my TV screen.
Before I knew what was happening, the sound of screaming girls and the chorus of What Makes You Beautiful blasted into my ears as the sound on my TV was being turned up to 100+. ‘Oh Ellie would you look at the sex god Zayn Malik is!’ Bella shrieked and flailed her arms around like some obsessed fan girl. Truth is; I was actually screaming inside because I was going fall in love with one of the boys they’re crying over and it actually made me feel special for the first time in a few months. I watched in amusement, a slight smirk appearing on my lips as I watched my friends battle for who was whose, it was quite funny actually, watching my friends fight over boys whom they may or may not fall in love with, I don’t know why that’s funny.
I got a little bored and decided to log into Tumblr. I scrolled endlessly down my dashboard staring at pictures of One Direction and reblogging a few of them, I had made a mental note to find new friends, considering that if I ever brought Harry back to my house they would obviously scream in his face and cry, he may get scared of my friends and never want to return. I had thought about telling my parents, but then again, they would really care if I was to meet the boy of my life because they left me. I spent endless nights staring at the phone and wondering what I would say if I was to call, I eventually picked up the phone and dialled their number, but after about two rings I panicked and hung up.
‘What are you going to wear?’ Bella asked as they all came down from fangirling, ‘I don’t know’ I shrugged and shut my laptop, I looked up to see them all smirking at one another. ‘This isn’t good, is it’ I groaned as I was pulled from my chair and whisked away out of my apartment, and down to the car, ‘We need to go shopping!’ Maddy squealed in delight as I rolled my eyes. I dreaded shopping trips with all of the girls, if it was just by myself, I would be fine, the girls just seemed to go in extra super girly mode whenever they saw clothing and usually ran if there was a sale.
‘Where should we start ladies?’ Ellie asked as we walked through the glass doors of the entry, everything was there, Hollister, Jack Wills, Forever 21, everything a girl could want, coming from the inhuman sounds the girls were making, they were incredibly excited and I was certain that they were going to go shopping for themselves instead of me. I was dragged into a store that had TopShop written in big glittery letters above the entrance, ‘Okay, we’ll start at the dresses, boys love dresses and one would look good on you’ Maddy said as she examined a light pink summer dress. ‘Do you need any help?’ a boy asked looking at the four of us, ‘We do’ Ellie said and the boy just smirked, ‘Date night?’ he said, ‘More than a date night’ Bella laughed and the man smiled, ‘You’ve come to the right place’.
We spent the next hour going through racks of dresses, jeans, shirts, everything you could think of that was wearable, we went through. Louis, the boy who was my ‘stylist’ for the next few hours, had me holding on to about 4 dresses and making me try every single one on. It came to the last pile of dresses that he liked and I tried them all on, the first three were okay, but the last one, was incredible. It was an adorable sundress that was floral print, it had thick straps to hold the dress up and fitted my curves nicely, I walked out of the changing room and stared into the wall mirror, from the reflection, I could see every single of the girls and Louis’ mouths wide open, ‘You look gorgeous’ Louis said and stood up to get a better view, ‘I think it’s time for accessories!’ Bella jumped in delight and ran across to the other side of the store, heading towards the makeup section, ‘Whoever this is for, must be one lucky man’ Louis smiled and I returned the gesture, ‘It’s a big date’ I shrugged and he laughed before putting an arm around my shoulder and guiding me to where my friends were freaking out about the makeup selections.
Three tiring hours later, I had come out with 3 bags full of things I would need, A dress, some shoes to go with it, a bag full of makeup, and some other items which I clearly don’t know what were for but the girls just shrugged my off and said ‘For later in life’. I nodded and decided to not ask about the bras and extra underwear in the last bag which look like a piece of tooth floss, I’m fourteen for goodness sake, not 18. We said goodbye to Louis and promised each other that we would catch up sometime in the near future, he was nice and seemed like the type of person who would be a blast to be around. He said his girlfriend was a TopShop Store model and she was down in the bottom section of the store so we could meet her next time, We said our goodbyes and hugged him and walked out of the shop, it was about 7:00 at night and late night shopping was only just getting started.
‘What would you girls like to do?’ I asked as we walked down to the food court, ‘I’m starving’ Maddy said and rubbed her stomach, we all lined up for our food and sat down to eat it, ‘So, how are you actually going to tell him you’re the one he falls in love with?’ Ellie asked as she shoved a chip in her mouth, ‘Well, I haven’t really thought about it, I guess I would just go up to him and tell him or something like that’ I shrugged and took a huge sip of my drink, they all gasped and I’m pretty sure Bella choked on her coke, ‘You can’t just do that! that would be weird and not romantic!’ Ellie gushed while the other girls just nodded. ‘Well, I don’t know? What am I supposed to say? ‘Oh Harry, I’m the one you fall in love with, a fourteen year old’ I dramatically put my hand over my forehead in a dramatic pose and got a laugh out of Maddy. ‘No Liberty, you’re not going to go all Titanic on him, you just need to tell him you’re the one for him and then you’ll have to work out what is going happen, I mean you can’t not tell him you’re 14 otherwise if he does find out and it’s not from you, I can assure you he’s going to be pissed.’
I sighed and rested my chin in the palm of my hand, ‘Well, I’ll figure something out’ I shrugged and finished of my food.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After we drove home, Bella, Maddy and Ellie all slept over, we grabbed the mattress from my room, and the mattress from the guest room and moved them into the living room in front of the TV, we got every blanket and pillow we could find and piled it on top of the mattress and created one big bed. we sat and watched movies and ate popcorn and talked about everything that came to our minds, it was easy to talk about such intense subject with my friends, they wouldn’t judge me and would respect my opinion and i loved that. I told them about how I was scared to meet Harry and they hugged me and told me everything was going to be okay, we talked about school and how most of us were failing at everything, ‘Sport!?! How do you fail at sport!?’ I asked bewildered at Bella, she shook her head and giggled to herself nervously, ‘I don’t know, I guess I don’t like sport’ I blink and stared at her, ‘Even I passed sport, and the only sport I do it running when there’s a sale on at Forever 21’ Maddy said and I rolled my eyes, typical.
‘How many hours now?’ Maddy turned to me and smiled, ‘12 hours and 34 minutes’ I grinned and the girls ‘awwed’. ‘Well, ladies, I’m tired so I think it’s time to go to bed’ Bella stretched and yawned before jumping back into the duvet. ‘Night girls’ I whispered and turned on my side. ‘Night Lib Lib’. I spent the next half an hour lying there with my eyes wide open and staring at the white wall of the kitchen, I was so not ready for tomorrow, and I kept telling myself I was, but my gosh I was shit scared that he wouldn’t like me and say I was ‘just another crazed fangirl’ I tried thinking of what I was going to say and how I would tell him, I thought about how the other boys would react and if they would hate me or not.
I don’t know what I was stressing over, but I forgot about it when I remembered that Maddy was going to be there as well, Oh God. She was going to embarrass me, I just now it, that was Maddy, always the one to ruin the moment or turn everything dirty, but I was okay with that, as long as she was going to be there every step of the meet and greet. I was rudely interrupted by the sound of my phone buzzing, I grabbed my phone and looked at the screen, it was already 6:00 in the morning, and I wasn’t ready to get up.
