“You’re shitting me.”
“I am in fact, not shitting you.” Ruby smirks and the dimples on her sort of round face show. “And before you try, you can’t get out of it. Not with Remi and Kyra on the committee.”
Maybe that’s what Remi was saying earlier? Maybe I have to help her with something Wednesday for the event?
“So, I’ll ask again, what are you wearing?”
“I don’t know. I don’t have evening dresses lying around. I’m not exactly super girly when it comes to clothes and fashion.” I wave my arm down my body, drawing attention to the dark faded leggings and grey tank top I’m wearing.
“I think some of the girls are going shopping in town this week. You should go. I’m pretty sure Rem is organizing the whole thing. Surprised you don’t know.”
Shopping? Now maybe that is what Remi was telling me about.
“What day?”
“Wednesday,” she responds.
Oh, Ruby, you just saved the day. Yeah, you dropped a bombshell, but this spares me from having to tell Remi I wasn’t listening to anything she said at breakfast. It wasn’t that I was purposely ignoring her, I’ve been having trouble focusing on anything other than my mom lately. I need to make more of an effort of paying better attention to my surroundings, because focusing on something I have no control over is going to ruin what I have going on here at the school.
Ugh, but then it dawns on me.
“I don’t really have the extra cash to blow on a dress.” I focus on the floor and bite at my lip. I have a little left in my savings from working at the coffee shop, but most of it was spent on the tuition that my grant didn’t cover.
“Oh, don’t worry. Remi found like six different thrift and consignment shops.” She exhales. “We’re all on a budget, girl, don’t stress.”
Her words do seem to allow some of the tension to leave my chest, only for me to recall a few minutes ago when Deghan walked in on me and Cameron about to do the dirty in the library.
My face flushes and I inch toward my room.
“I have to run, but seriously, don’t forget.” She latches her door shut.
“Okay, I won’t.”
I turn the handle, backing into my room and closing the door. I lean into it, resting my head on the frame, letting the solitude of my space sink into me.
Although, I can't help but be drawn to the pulsing energy that fills the room. Without turning around, I know for certain I'm not alone.
