Fun, I think as I walk through the store, positive that I’ watched by security toAfter the past four fun rounds of trying on dresses, I’s are too stubby, my hips are too narrow, my shoulders are too pointy, my breasts are too small, my skin is too pale
It’s not like I could afford any of these dresses anyway, but they’re all so prettyand I guess I just wanted to look pretty in them
I stop in front of a mannequin at the front of the store and chew onthe h-backed and long, so it would hide my bony shoulders and bony knees The ray color, with vibrant blue wildflowers gathered into striking bouquets throughout the pattern The waist is cinched with a blue lace overlay, and the bottoht blue as the lace and flowers The whole dress is stunning, and I stand there too timid to touch it

"Yeah"
"Okay, hold on a sec"

Danica calls, and we both step out of our dressing roo the exact saray fabric and bright blue wildflowers--her skin a shade tanner, her legs a lot longer, and her long copper hair cascading softly over her shoulders while mine curls wildly around my face The botto spot, and I notice all these details as she steps forith a smile on her face
"What do you think?" she asks, and honestly, I think I want to cry
