Behind the Scenes
Chapter 15
"Ok, how do I look?"  Shelby said as she stepped out of the dressing room, whereing a light blue, sparkly dress.  Claire paused and thought about it for a moment and said, "Solid 7.6.  What do you think, Lizzy?"  I finished swallowing the soft pretzel I was eating and said, "7.  I think the dark purple one looked better on you." 
We were dress shopping at the mall.  I didn't want to go.  I the play was this Friday, and I had way to much to do.  The dance was on the day after that.  I didn't even want to go to this dance.  Unfortunately though, Claire is the kind of person who doesn't take no for an answer, and eventually got me to go because she said she'd buy my lunch, while we were there.  And I'm not really the kind of person that says no to free food.
"What do you think?" I asked.  Shelby twirled around in it and said, "Well the light blue is more summery, plus it's cheaper so I think I'm going to get this one."
We walked up to the cash register and Shelby paid for her dress.  Once we got outside the store, Shelby said, "Alright, we got both Claire and my dress.  Now you."  "What? No, I'm fine, really guys, I can find something in my closet somewhere."  "Nonsense!" Shelby said, and before I could get another word in, she grabbed my hand and ran to the nearest dress store. 
We eventually agreed on a strapless, dark grey dress for me.  And after I bought it we went to the food court for some lunch.
I was eating my slice of cheese pizza, while Claire went over the schedule for the rest of the day.  "Ok, so after this, I was thinking we would go find some shoes and finish up with accessories.  The day of the dance we can go get our hair and nails done.  I have a cupon from my salon, so we can use that."  "Awesome!" Shelby said.  "Sounds great," I replied.  And we headed off on our shoe hunt.




Hey in case you were wondering, this is what Lizzy's dress for the dance looks like.
