Shifted Fate by Alicia S.Rivers

Chapter Seven

When we got to the mall, we walked into the clothing store. "I need a new dress." Cassie pulled me to the back and started to go through the racks.

"Why do you need one of these dresses?" I pulled a dress off the rack and held it to my body. The form fitting dress flared out at the bottom. It was a beautiful mermaid formal dress, but white wasn't my color.

"Your homecoming ball." Cassie grabbed a short pink number that would look horrible with her skin tone.

"Put that down and what do you mean homecoming ball?" Cassie froze and then slow turned back to me.

"Don't tell your dad I told you." She rushed back to me and grabbed my hands. "Frick, I knew I was going to mess this up. You are my best friend and I knew I would mess this up."

"Calm down." I laughed. "I would never tell my dad you messed up." I wrapped my hands around her shoulders and shook. "Cassie, calm down and just tell me."

She smiled and nodded. "I was supposed to take you dress shopping for a surprise home coming party tonight. You know your dad."

"I do. Which is why I shouldn't be surprised." I smiled and then forced the pink dress out of her hands. "But this, this needs to go back and you have to promise me you will never touch it again." I put it back on the rack. I started to go through the dresses and pulled a pale golden sheath dress that would look absolutely amazing on her. "Here try this on."

"I don't know Amy."
