Thirteen

Ensley

The rose wigs me out for the entire day and into the next morning. Even when Elodie stops by to help me pick out an outfit, my head is still spinning over who the little girl could be and who sent me the rose.

“Maybe she was a ghost,” Elodie offers as she dumps out the bag she brought with her. Clothes spill out across my bed, and I nearly go blind from all the sparkly material.

“You know what? I actually thought that for a moment.” I sit down on the bed beside the piles of clothes and take a sip of my coffee. “She disappeared so fast.”

“Maybe she has stealthy ninja skills.”

“She probably does. She was really sassy, too.”

“Sounds pretty awesome if you ask me.” Her hair falls into her face as she begins sorting through the clothes.

I balance my coffee on a trunk near the foot of my bed then rest back on my hands. “She kind of reminded me of you a little bit. Not in the sense of looks or anything, but with how she acted—all feisty and bossy.”

Elodie grins. “Hell yes. Maybe she’s my long-lost sister.”

“I’d say she could be, except she looked more like me than you. The janitor even accused me of looking for myself when I asked if he’d seen her and described her to him.” I stretch out my legs and cross my ankles. “I kindly pointed out that I wasn’t thirteen, but he didn’t seem to buy into it.”

“The janitor’s an asshole and kind of senile. Everyone knows that.” She picks up a red, plaid shirt.

I perk up. “Please tell me that’s part of what I’m wearing and not this.” I flick a short, black dress and pull a face.

“Actually, I’m thinking both.” She tosses the plaid shirt at me. “There’s your red.” She drops the dress onto my lap. “Here’s your black.” Then she plucks up a velvet choker and a pair of stockings. “And here are your accessories.”

I crinkle my nose at the dress. “Everything’s cool except for this thingy.”

She sighs, securing her hair into a messy bun with an elastic that’s around her wrist. “That’s not a thingy, Ens. It’s a dress. D.R.E.S.S. Dress. It’s not a bad word.” She grabs my hand and tugs me to my feet. “Now, go try this on so I can admire my artwork in all her sexy, grungy glory.”

Shaking my head, I collect the clothes and jewelry then step into the closet to change.

“And I’m thinking you should wear those clunky, lace-up boots with the velvet laces,” she calls out, turning on some music. “It’ll go good with the choker.”

“Okay.” Honestly, I don’t think anything is going to go good with anything since it’ll be on me, but Elodie will only argue with me if I say that. So, I strip out of my pajamas and wiggle myself into the fitted dress.

The hem hits me mid-thigh, which isn’t too bad. Although, I’ve never been a fan of showing off my freakishly long legs.
