She Told Her Best Friend Not To Buy The Prom Dress Of Her Dreams Because She Doesn’t Want To Match Her

An 18-year-old girl has a best friend named Chelsea who is a year younger than she is. She’s been super close with Chelsea since she began going to high school.
She did graduate early and is currently attending college, but prom is coming up and she’s still permitted to attend.
She did find a date to prom, and Chelsea is coming with her too since she doesn’t have a date and she doesn’t want Chelsea to be lonely.
“All of high school, I have bought different color dresses,” she explained. “Ranging from blue to red to black.”
“This year during one of the dances I finally noticed that Chelsea has been copying my dress colors to match with me.”
“For the formal, I wanted to wear black and announced it a month ahead of time and a day before the dance she said she was going to wear black too so we can match.”
“Fine, whatever, she can do what she wants and I ended up changing my dress to a different one the day of. Which she was visually upset with the day of.”
She has already bought a dress to wear to prom, and she did everything she could to keep it a secret from Chelsea so she could prevent Chelsea from copying her.
The dress she picked really is something she normally would not buy for herself, and she was hoping it would be a big surprise when she showed up at prom.

“Chelsea pressured me for days to show her what it looked like and after receiving a headache from it, I gave in,” she said. “She was excited for me as it was expensive, costing me almost $700.”
Prom is currently 4 weeks away, and Chelsea only recently discovered the dress of her dreams to wear.
When Chelsea showed her the dress, she was upset to see that it was the same color as her own prom dress; lavender.
“This is the reason I didn’t want to show her mine in the first place and kept it a secret,” she continued.
“I spent a lot of money and I told her I really don’t want to match with her this dance. As I put down her idea telling her to please not buy it, she got upset and got my mom involved in it too.”
Her mom thinks that it will be wonderful for them to match at prom, though this is infuriating her.
“I wanted one night,” she added. “One night and one dance for us to not be matching and for her to not be so overbearing.”
Although Chelsea has since moved on to check out other kinds of dresses, she still is convinced she’s purchasing one in lavender and that’s it.
She’s really mad that Chelsea isn’t respecting her wishes, but what can she do about it?
