As I stepped into the cold morning air I saw Callie checking out the black car Blake was in with a suspicious look in her eyes. "Yo Scar's with me!" Hollars Blake. I swear I saw Callie's ears perk up from the corner of my eye. "No she isn't!" Shrieks Callie. Drama Queen again. I guess thats why i love her! Keko approaches my side as she watches Blake and Callie argue.

"She's with me!" Blake repeats.

"Nu uh!" Callie argues.

"She's my best friend!" She says.

"Let her choose then! I don't have all day!" Blake rolls his eyes and looks intently at me. Callie does the same only her stare seems more out of anger. I hate being in the car with angry Callie. I should choose Callie,I really should. But Blake. The way he is staring at me. It's unusual. "Choose your best friend you mega turd!" Says the voice in my head. But Blake. "She's been with you ever since the end of time!" It scolds. But Blake. "You can count on her." But Blake. "I choose B-" I was cut off by the questioning Keko. "Can I ride with Blake?" Her voice seemed to catch us all by surprise, we all hardly noticed she was even there.

"O-Oh" Blake stammers. Callie smirks smugly until her eyes land on me. Her features soften. She knew. "Of course, Although I warn you he's a flirt." I tease her. It killed me when I saw her blush. "Come on in." He winks at her making the hatred in my heard burst into flames. I half walked and half stumbled into Callie's truck. Slamming the door I looked out the window just as Keko closed the door of Blake's car. Silence fills the air as Callie started the car and swerved it around Blake's so he could follow her. "First we head to the mall. Then maybe karaoke?" The last part sounded questionable. "I can't sing. I won't sing." I spat. Venom laced between my words as I looked out the window and into the endless sky.

"Are you mad at me?" She asks. Yes. "No." I lied. She brought Keko. Keko is probably flirting with Blake at this moment. Maybe they are singing One Direction together and hating on Bieber. Why do I care. I don't even like him. Liar. Callie must have noticed the flame in my eyes because she turned on the radio and we didn't speak for another 5 minutes. "If I didn't have you I would have nothing left-" The familiar song from the One Direction song made me think of Blake. Great. It's like he never slipped my mind at all. "Whats wrong?" Asked Callie.

Of course my best friend knew when something was up. The thought made the hole in my stomach grow. I doubted the car ride with her. Whats with One Direction always on the radio on Saturday, I mean it killing me!

Keko can have Blake, I don't need him. I have the most amazing best friend in the world. God I stooped so low, I'm even lying to myself. I bang my head on the dashboard and groan. Get out of my head Channing! "You were going to choose him." Callie states. This made me bolt up. "No." I lied. I saw Callie gripped the steering wheel tighter. "Stop lying to me." She seemed genuinely hurt. "Yes. I was. I don't understand why." I admit. This made her eyes dangerously flutter towards me. "You fell for him HARD!" She squeaks. I roll my eyes at her enthusiasm. "Harder than I expected too!"

The voice inside my head was having a laughing fit. Poor Callie never listens to what she says. I remained a straight faced statue. "I like Him, Only a tiny bit." At the same time Callie and that annoying voice in my head said, "Liar." Making me blush slightly. I looked back to see Blake's car. He waved at me from the window shield. And seemed completely oblivious to Keko who was touching his arm and giggling. She was flirting but what the hell was I worried about she is terrible at it.

"HERE!" screams Callie as she parks the car. She gets out and runs over to where Blake swiftly parked his car. "Keko I've missed you!" She pulls Keko into a tight hug. First she takes Blake then Callie. Hell no. "So Callie." I interrupted Keko while she was talking to my best friend. "About that makeover." This made Callie hop over to me. This earned me a fake and forced smile from Keko pointed toward my direction. She clung onto Blake's arm while I rolled my eyes and headed toward the direction Callie suddenly ran off to.

.....

Behind me I could hear Keko's obnoxious laughter as Blake cracked jokes left and right. I wanted to crack something all right, but I don't think Keko's throat is the same as cracking a joke. Callie was picking out dresses for me while I was digging through racks of random clothing I wasn't paying attention to. I was lost in thought while I tugged away the clothes left in right. "Find anything you like?" Blake's voice startles me. I look up at him as I see him looking at the piece of fabric in my hand. His face flushes. I took off the clothing from the rack without realizing it. I look down at my hand and saw a red lace bra. I dropped it and wiped my hand on my jeans. "N-nope." I stutter. "Sad I was kinda wondering how you would look with that-"

Before Blake could finished I was tugged away by him from an anxious Callie. "Try these on, NOW." She demands. Thanks for the save. I make my way to the dressing room and close the door behind me. I look at the first dress in the pile of clothing. A black skater dress. The back is lace up and it's like nothing I've ever worn before. The material feels soft and light as I slip into it. It reached just below my knees and reveals my smooth legs. I've never really liked wearing dresses. The though of Keko flashed through my mind. She was so beautiful and so was Callie. Maybe I should consider this. I twirled around and checked myself out in the mirror.

My figure still wasn't something to check out but I looked more feminine. My black beanie actually looked well with the skater dress and converse. That, I was thankful for. I'm not ready for the big leap of heels. Why would someone want to be so high up? It's scary for me, but then all my life I've been a bit short. I opened the door outwards. Modeling the dress for Callie, I realized Blake and Keko had disappeared. Callie gasped. "Why have you been hiding those Holly Hottie magnets?" She asks pointing at my legs.

I felt myself burning up. "Hey um, where is Keko and Whats-His-Face?" I ask pretending I don't know his name. "Oh Batman." I feigned realization. Callie only rolls her eyes. "I asked them to get smoothies for us. Don't worry your having a strawberry classic." I sighed. My best friend knew me too well. I always hated every other flavor on the "Barista Berries" menu. "So now we know we are buying that"- She motions at the dress- "Hurry up and try the others!" she shooed me, giving me a playful smile.

I re-entered the dressing room and slipped the free off in one easy shrug. I placed it to the side back on the hanger. Next I tried on a white romper with a floral patter on the end of it. The pink, blue, and black flowers contrasted and 'POPPED' against the white fabric. I played with my hair a bit, so my natural curls were fluffed up and framing my face. I looked so professional. Except-

I looked down at my converse and slipped them off. I can go with my white socks for now. I stepped outside once more and Callie looked up from her phone. "Perfecto! Although it seems a bit tight, we can get you one in a size bigger." I nod in agreement and head back into the dressing room.

3 dresses and 1 overal later, I slipped on a tight blue dress which seemed to have a pencil skirt for a bottom. We decided to get the overall type boyfriend jean get up and the 2 other dresses dresses plus the romper and skater dress. This doesn't seem like my type of dress but then again, what dress is? "Try something new Scarlet." I reminded myself. This time when I stepped out of the dressing room, Callie was gone and in her place was Blake and Keko having a..Nice. Dandy...Chat. I roll my eyes when Keko looks at me with pure disgust. Not even using a fake smile. I look over to Blake who is just looking at me with a foreign expression.

I try to ignore that I caught them both lip locking. Hopefully Keko sucks at kissing. "Where's Callie?" I ask. No sight of my best friend. Something with in me was burning up. A sudden hatred toward Keko enflamed me. Trust me when I tell you this. I've been picked on for most of my life, an have been able to contain my anger. A goody-toshie if you will. But at this moment, the nerd inside me wanted to wither down and the urge to stick my tongue out at Keko was strong. Trust me, I can be that badass. "She said something about buying some romper." Blake shrugs. It's like he's all innocent. 2 faced jerk. I hate how instead of sticking my tongue at him I wanted him to stick his down my throat. "Stupid Scarlet!" Whined the voice inside my head.

"Cool." I nodded awkwardly. I saw temptation in Blake's eyes. I felt like he was pleading for me to leave. I spun on the balls of my feet and entered the dressing room, this time slamming it harder than I should have. Once I was inside I made it through slipping off the dress and putting on my normal clothes. Then I broke down, sliding against the wall. I looked at the mirror in front of me. A tear slid down my cheek. "Why do I like him?" I whimpered quietly to myself.

My vision blurred as I felt myself beginning to cry. "No crying!" The voice inside me whimpered. I felt a sudden pain in my chest. It felt like someone was cutting off the circulation from my heart, squeezing it. I wailed in pain. Curling up on the floor and whimpering. My heart was being crushed but not in a emotional way.

"Scarlet!" Screamed Blake from the other side of the door. My body was heating up and I felt more tears coming, tears form the pain. "I said NO crying!" Shrieked the voice. I felt my ear drums being busted and my body growing weak. I yelped in pain as my body began to grow numb. What's happening? An unknown lady swung the door open while holding a key. Blake, Callie, and the woman who I was guessing worked here got to their knees and surrounded me. I felt myself breaking into a sweat. "Not again." I head Callie whisper. Then I blacked out.

"She's crazy." I heard Callie say between the darkening visions. "She's crazy."
