Eleanor turned out to be exactly what I needed. Someone who has a sense of fashion and a sense of humor that was enough for the both of us, since I wasn’t really in the mood. However, I should be.
I couldn’t stop thinking about how nice she was. I had never met this girl before and she already treated me like as if I was a close friend of hers.
“What do you think about this one?” She said as she was holding up a white creation that makes me frown. I wouldn’t like to wear something that reminded me about a wedding dress…

She laughs dull and hangs it back. “A little bit too much perhaps?” She asked and I replied her with a nod.
We had been everywhere. No store had the dress I really wanted. Not that I knew what I was looking for. I just wanted something simple. Is that too much to ask for?
“I want something simple. I don’t want to draw any attention.” I said towards Eleanor who’s eagerly running around to check prices and fabrics. She knew so much more about this…
Actually, it’s a bit strange that someone like me didn’t want to be in the center. Throughout elementary school, it was exactly what I’ve been, in the center. The girl the guys wanted and what the other girls wanted to be. I’ve always had a long and smooth body because of the ballet. My long blonde hair wasn’t my disadvantage either. I had never asked for the attention, but I’d still receive it.

Eleanor turns hastily around towards me. “Trust me, you would really like to look good during prom.”
I look at her blankly. There’s something about her way of saying it. Perhaps the hidden smile, or her sinister tone. Something makes me wonder if she knows something more than I do.
Before I managed to ask her, she already started with a new topic of the conversation. “As we speak… Do you have someone to go with?”
I smiled kindly at her. “The only people I’ve spent my time with during this period has been the guys.”
“Why won’t you go with one of them, then?”

It got completely silent. Yes, why don’t I go with one of them? I had never thought of that.
“I didn’t think of the fact that you could go together as friends… But it feels like it’s a little bit late now. The guys probably already got someone to go with.”
“You can go with Harry, he has no one to go with.” She suggested.
I laugh quietly. “Harry’s the last one that would like to go with me. Not even as a friend. He and I haven’t really clicked in the same way as I did with the others. Honestly, I don’t think he likes me at all…”
Eleanor looks almost a bit frustrated towards me. “Who said you need to go as friends?”
Wait what?

When she didn’t get any answer she started to blush slightly as she looked down at the ground. “Try this.” I received the dress as I went to the dressing-room. I pulled off my clothes as I put up my hair in a messy bun for making it trying the dress much easier.
I slid the dress over my body without any problems. The dress is absolutely perfect. I think.
I went out so that Eleanor could see the dress. She were looking at me for a few seconds before she smiled. “It’s perfect.”
With that confirmed, I feel more ready than ever. I also feel more confused than ever.
Who said you need to go as friends?
