Nothing to Wear

I was ran into a college friend at Wal-mart. When I saw her, she was dressed in a beautiful gown. I had on a pair of pants and a red fur stole with nothing underneath. She was on her way to get her hair done at Wal-mart's hair salon, and she invited me to come along. I went thinking that perhaps I could at least get my hair done nice. We went inside, but there was no stylist available for me. My brother, sister, and her boyfriend were sitting inside. They made fun of my clothes. I decided to look for a dress there for the formal since all the people I knew from high school would be there. At least I could be dressed nicely. While walking through the store I would pass cheerleading and wrestling exhibitions put on by kids in black uniforms. I didn't find any dress that I liked. My mom showed up and tried to help me look, but she kept pulling out these old lady dresses and pastel, flowery prints. I said that I didn't want to be that person that everybody was going to laugh at. I was close to tears, and she asked me why I cared so much what I looked like to these people since I wasn't going to live there. I said that I didn't know where I was going to live, and that maybe I would be living there. She said, "Well, they're just going to be living next to you." We headed back toward the salon, and my mom started singing "I'll Be Home for Christmas" in a funny, Kermit voice. A guy standing nearby laughed, and I wiped a tear from cheek.
