Excuse Me, I Quit! novel Chapter 28

Annie's P. O. V.

"No way I'm wearing that!" I giggled as Lily held up a black dress in front of me. It had an open back and was way too short on me. I was used to wearing loose and comfortable clothes and that dress looked tight.

"Come on! Just try it on. You can never go wrong with a little black dress," Lily insisted and shoved it in my hand.

"B...but...its so short!" I protested.

"Yeah, so? You have nice long legs so it'll look really good. Your breasts are on the smaller side so the halter front with the open back is perfect! Just put it on!" she said.

I sighed in defeat and went to the fitting room. I put on the dress then came out.

"It looks great! You look like a model," Lily chirped.

"You are lying," I laughed.

"Who do you think I am? Regina George? I don't give fake compliments. This is the dress for you. I just wish you could lose those glasses. But regardless, Evan is going to love it," she said.

I shifted uncomfortably. "I'm not going out with Evan," I said quietly.

Lily looked surprised. "You are not?" she asked. "But I thought you and Evan were practically together. He literally ditched me for you and said you were his, blah blah blah. So what happened?" she said and looked at me curiously.

"Evan and I had an argument so we are not friends anymore. I am going on a date with Mike instead," I said.

"No, she is not."

I felt like my heart stopped as I heard the deep, husky voice of Evan Green.

Evan's P. O. V.

I went to the mall to return some stuff for my mother. Then I saw her. Annie wearing a sexy little black dress that was tight on her small frame and exposed her beautiful legs. Just when I was on the verge of losing her she goes and be even more beautiful. That's just not fair!

I saw her talking to Lily and they were laughing and talking together. Since when did they become friends? What the hell did I miss?

But when I heard her say that the dress was for her date with Mike, rage flickered in my brain. There was no way in hell I'll let her go on a date with another guy wearing THAT.

"Evan! fancy seeing you here," Lily said and gave me a sly smile. "We were just talking about you," she added.

"I am here to return something. Why are you two together? What's going on here?" I asked. On what planet does Lily hang out with someone other than her clique in high school?

"We are shopping and I am helping her pick out a dress for her date, DUH!" Lily rolled her eyes.
