Dress Code
The dress was blue.
She knew it, Jade knew it, practically everyone in the store knew it. Despite the undisputed evidence Callie just couldn’t surrender her throne.
‘It’s green.’ She swallowed, her voice wavering despite her desperate attempts to sound believable. Her tone was met with several of disapproval with heaves, sighs and tuts across the board.
Jade rolled her eyes, knowing that Callie admitting anything was as likely as sprouting wings overnight.
‘The dress code for tonight is blue.’ Jade reminded, cocking an eyebrow in Callie’s direction.
Callie was unable to meet her eyes, after all, she knew this. She wanted the dress, no other dress in the store complimented her figure like this one did, but to have the dress meant she’d have to admit she was wrong. She scanned the dress once more and audibly gulped.
‘It’s blue.’ Callie whispered. Several heads snapped in her direction.
Jade’s back suddenly felt itchy and heavier, and she gazed in wonder as her legs were now hovering one inch above the floor.
