"OMG GUYS!! Liam from Jackaloth asked me to the Autumn ball! He's my neighbour!" Ashbelle squealed at breakfast "Really?? Nobody asked me yet!" Anne replied, "I'm so happy for you! let's go do our Autumn Ball shopping in the afternoon cos there's no lessons!" I added, smiling. I felt a tap on my shoulder. "Hey Connor!" I said, willing myself not to blush. "Do you need anything?" "No, not really, I just wanna ask something." He seemed a little nervous and fidgety. "Sure! What is it?" The girls were exchanging smirks and giggles. "Um, will you go to the Autumn Ball with me?" He asked, not meeting my eye. Just on cue, Ashbelle almost ch0k3d on her toast and whispered something to Anne that almost got her giggling. I was sure that I was blushing right there. "Oh, sure." I muttered, cursing under my breath about how pale my complexion was. * * * "Ready to go?" Anne asked, grabbing a few galleons and knuts. "Yeah!" Anne and Ashbelle answered simultaneously. "Izzy, if we run out of galleons then we're deffo gonna ask you for more, you're rich!" Ashbelle added right after. "Ash, please, you have enough money, and I'm not rich, I just have a few galleons and an extra sickle just in case." "Do you even like any of these dresses?" Ashbelle asked, noticing my distressed face. "These ones? Nope! They just look so frilly and itchy," I moved to another section. "Fair enough, though," Anne sighed. "I mean, I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE CONNOR ASKED YOU! YOU GUYS ARE THE CUTEST C0VPL3 IN THE SCHOOL!!!!" Ashbelle squealed, remembering that. "Ash, we're not a c0vpl3, he just asked me to the Autumn ball it's no big deal." I groaned, Ash and Anne has been teasing me about that for the whole trip here and they still didn't stop. "Guys, remember why we're here, you guys still need outfits!" Anne reminded. She was the only one who found an outfit for now, it was a casual long sleeved cream-coloured autumn dress that matched her white leggings and she even found flats the same colour as the dress! How lucky! A few moments later, Ashbelle found something that she liked. It was a silver sleeveless somewhat flowy dress that matched her blue eyes and wavy brown hair perfectly. Though, an hour passed and I STILL haven't found anything! "This is gonna take forever!" I moaned, still scurrying around. "Izzy, you might want to see this!" Anne replied from the other side of the shop. "Yes Anne?" I trudged over to wherever her voice came from to find her waving a dress at me. It was lilac coloured and it was a bit frilly but it was the LEAST frilliest in the store so I had to settle with that. "I think you should take off your glasses." Anne commented when I was trying it on. "WHAT?!?" I yelped. "I CAN'T SEE WITHOUT THEM!" I lied, I didn't need glasses since I was 10 years old but my glasses were the the closest thing I have to Irene.. Wait, I wasn't allowed to think about her anymore- "YES YOU CAN YOU DOOFUS, I SAW YOU TAKE THEM OFF A FEW DAYS AGO!" Ashbelle yelled back. "Fine! You got me! But I don't wanna!" I complained, only to be met with Ashbelle's smirk "You're going to have to though."
