I put on my phone and saw a ton of messages so I tapped on them,
Jessie: girl guess what there a beach bon fire happening tonight and Olivers gonna be there you've got to be here
Oliver: hey Carmela are you coming to the beach bonfire we can go together
Mass message from Trixie: hey guys the country club is closing tomorrow night ending with the coming-of-age debutante party so let's have our own fun at the beach, mwah loves.
It was still noon so I still had to prepare. What was that dream about. Anyways I'll think about that and everything later I need to pick an outfit. Why is it now that I realize I don't have anything nice to wear, "MUM I'M GOING SHOPPING BY MYSELF IS THAT OK" I yelled from my room. I opened my savings box, I counted all of the money id saved, great 1470 dollars that's perfect, spending 200 bucks shouldn't be that bad I earned it myself so its ok. I put a beige fringe boot, high waisted denim shorts and a peach flowy off shoulder blouse and put on a big feather necklace and woven bracelet. I put on some lip gloss and grabbed my huge leather hand bag then went downstairs. "mum "I blurted out while I almost bumped into her, "you look cute let me drop you off "mum said as she grabbed her car keys. "Mum I'm old enough to go by myself don't you think" "well I'm heading to town to get groceries" mum replied she seemed stress so I decided not to argue further. I got into her Toyota Yaris and we headed to town she went to the mall while I got off at some roadside boutique. I got in and started searching and that's when I saw it, the perfect beach dress, it was a flowing white boho maxi dress with thin spaghetti straps and a loose airy fit, it had delicate lace panels and an asymmetrical hemline with tassel fringes. "Um excuse me how much is this" I called to the sales person. "you've got nice taste hi I'm Mark" a guy with black wavy hair and blue hair told me. "Um do I know you" I asked confused at why a complete stranger was talking to me, "oh" he smiled as he replied "my younger sister us having her coming of age party in the country club you work for I've seen you from time to time but just in your navy bleu shirt and white shorts uniform". Oh, so he's just another rich kid, he's hand was stretched forward, I scoffed and replied "I don't touch strangers sorry" he smiled as he turned and left. Wait what did I just say what if he gets me fired, he wasn't even rude or anything, I ran to him and said "um no hard feelings I hope just don't get me fired please" he laughed and said "is that all don't worry I'm not petty". I got back into the shop and bought the dress I also got a few more accessories I also got some lunch then walked back home. The party was almost starting so I took another shoer put on some lotion and deodorant and put on the dress with a big wooden beaded necklace some sandals and beaded bracelets I let my hair down and went downstairs jessie was coming to get me. Jessie came wearing a floral bikini and tied a floral scarf on her waist. "You look cute are you ready" I nodded and followed her to her white Volkswagen beetle
