Chapter Six

“Wow, Sora! You really do look great!” Zoe gave me an appreciative glance, nodding in approval.

“Seriously? You’re not, like, messing with me or anything?” I was nervous as hell, my stomach churning with a whole flock of butterflies. Was I really doing this?

“Take a look for yourself, if you don’t believe me, then.” Zoe grabbed my shoulders and turned me to face my reflection in the mirror.

I hardly recognized myself in the mirror. Someone else stared back, looking rather fabulous in a red knee-length strapless dress. An overlay of black Swiss-dot tulle, paired with the black sash at the waist made the look completely retro, and just my style. What boobs I had were pushed up to my eyeballs, making me appear as if I had way more cleavage than I actually did. I mentally thanked Danielle again for insisting I buy the dress for the dance at Liam’s school. I’d decided to remove my silver lip ring, replacing it with a small black stud that looked like a beauty mark. Kind of cool, actually.

Zoe had managed to tame my unruly head of hair, the black tresses piled on top of my head and cascaded down the back in tiny ringlets. She’d even added a few red streaked pieces, keeping with my rock-chic style. Even so, I looked rather girly, but found that I didn’t mind. In fact, I seriously had the strong desire to do a little twirl but managed to rein it in. No need to go crazy or anything.

“I guess I do look…all right.”

Zoe rolled her eyes and proceeded to push me toward the door. “Don’t hurt yourself thanking me or anything. Now, get yourself downstairs. Liam will be here any minute.”

I silently mouthed a thank you at her before I braced myself for the trek down the staircase. A new pair of shoes completed my ensemble for the occasion. Candy red, platform heels that added about four inches to my height. I’d instantly begun salivating at the sight of them on the shelf at the store. After much begging and an advance on my allowance, Danielle agreed to let me buy them. I might not be able to feel my toes by the end of the night, but damn it, I’d look fabulous anyway.

Teetering a bit as I reached the top of the stairs, I inhaled deeply before beginning my descent. Not one to wear such high heels often, I had to concentrate to keep from breaking my ankle and ending up a tangled mess at the bottom. One foot, then the other. No hurry. Just my dream guy and a school dance waited.

Liam had been surprised, to say the least, to get my call accepting his invitation to the dance at his school. I’d still been riding the high from the conversation with my mother and apologized for acting like a dork when he asked me. The end result—here I was, trying not to fall down the stairs so I could go on my very first date.
