Chapter Seventeen



"So, Honey, are you ok??" asked Nancy, Nicole's mother.

All Nicole could think of was what was in the box and it was making her excited by the minute, "Yup couldn't be better,"

Nancy just smiled and shook her head while turning into their driveway.

Nicole ran out of the car and onto the porch.

"Nicole, why are you in such a hurry??" asked Nancy.

"I wanna hurry up and get in there cause Isaac said for me to call him cause he had something to ask me. So hurry it up with those keys," she said while jumping up and down.

"You're one weird child," informed Nancy, while opening the door.

"Thanks!!" she ran in and ran upstairs yelling "I learn from the best!!" she ran in her room and heard her mom threaten to ground her. "JUST KIDDING!!!!" yelled Nicole.

Nancy smiled, "I know,"

"Hey, see I'm calling you. What do you want cause I gotta go to bed," announced Nicole to Isaac.

"Nicole, you were supposed to call me at 2 when you got home and may I inform you it is 9:30,"

"Well excuse me! Now can you tell me what you want cause I'm really tired,"

"Well my dad's company is having this formal dinner kind of thing tomorrow night, and I was kind of wondering if you would like to come with me as my date. Taylor's going with Lindsey, and Zac is going with Paige,"

"I'd love to! But I don't have a formal dress," she whined. She was really good at that.

He laughed, "Don't worry, we'll find you something before the dinner, ok?"

"Ok,"

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow at 6:30 ok??"

"Okie dokie g' night,"

"'Night,"

*******

At four the next afternoon Nicole waited for Isaac to come and pick her up and go shopping for a dress like he said earlier that morning. But she hasn't heard from him all day. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Nicole jumped up and answered it. She saw Lindsey and Paige each holding 1 box. Except Lindsey who was holding two.

"Hey guys, come on in,"

"Who is it Nicole??" asked Nancy.

"Some friends of mine. So what are you guys doing here?" asked Nicole.

"We're here to help you get ready for that dinner," answered Paige.

Nicole made a face, "I don't have a dress," "Oh no!! Oh here Isaac told me to give this to you," said Lindsey handing Nicole the same box she saw in the closet.

Nicole squealed and sat on the floor and opened it. When she did, she saw the most gorgeous dress. She took it out and examined it. It was a long, red, velvet dress. It had speghetti straps, and sequence in the front from the top of the dress to the bottom of the bust area. And then in the box were red high heels.

She looked at the girls who were also examining their dresses and said "Let's go get ready,"
