Never Again

Wardrobe confusion

" Let me see ! " Rach squealed . Emily could feel her impatience as her foot tapped the floor just outside the dressing room .

Swallowing her nerves she reminded herself she was just her friend , not a monster . She opened the door so she could see .

Her jaw fell , she turned pale , her eyes widened as she raked over her body with feverish intensity .

" That is perfect ! "

Emily sighed and shifted uncomfortably , digging her bare toes into the carpet .

" Don't tell me it doesn't fit you really well , it really sets off your figure . Your legs look fabulous , even better when you wear a matching pair of heels . . . . . . . . and the way the fabric crosses in the front will look so good with your hair done up .

Emily rolled her eyes .

Emily: " I don't think so . . . . . . . "

" No , it is , " Rach barked at her as she grabbed her elbow to pull her out of the bathroom , shoving her in front of a large mirror .

Emily looked at herself , it was ok . Not her style , not her , but it didn't look ugly like she was afraid it would .

" I look like a barbie doll . "

She grin widely at Emily , eyes glittering with delight, " Yes , yes you do ! "

Rachel: " You will be fine just don't be you . "

Emily: " What do you mean don't be you . "

Rachel: " You are an introvert . You get all uncomfortable at social gatherings and it becomes clearly visible on your face . Just remember what I told you before today is our chance to show everyone that we are not nerds , we can be badass too . "

Emily: " Introverts are awesome people who need more alone time to recharge and feel at our best . We can be social , but often feel overwhelmed at parties . Seeing an introvert at a party is like seeing a deer in the city . We may look out of our element , but we’re still pretty damn majestic . "

Rachel: " Ys we will see there . "

Emily: " Yes you will see . "

Emily gave a small speech on introverts to Rach but she was very scared .

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Beer bottles were strewn about on the lawn. Mostly everyone was drunk. A few people were sitting around in clusters either making out, dancing somewhere, drinking or just talking. The occasional drunker were stumbling around. They went inside. The messy room had empty bottles laid on the ground, waiting for someone to trip over them. Emily almost fell a victim.

Rach noticed that Emily was uncomfortable,

Rach: " You ok . "

Emily: " Well let's see . I am barely able to walk in the heels that you forced me to wear and don't even get me started on this dress . I just hope that it does not fall off my body . "

Rach: " I made you look good , you should thank me . "

Emily: " Oh sure . "

Rach: " Don't worry he likes you ."

Emily: " No he does not .He has better options . I am sure that he won't even date me if I am the last women on earth . "

Rachel: " That's not true . Oh my God look at you blushing . "
