Chemistry in History

Family Tears

Enjoy! Oh and happy birthday to wattpad for being 15yrs old!!!!

"Is a fancy shop really necessary?" I asked nobody rolling my eyes.

"Eh that's what the school thinks." Cameron said.

We were at the uniform shop, it was pretty small, but when I say shop I mean it. There were even the school color scrunchies and water bottles. I had to go and get my uniform and Ethan thought we'd all go then later go to a pizza place that's known to be the best.

I went up to the cashier and asked a lady for a uniform in my size and she handed me two pieces of clothing, as I was going to the changing room, I noticed that she had given a white collar shirt made of cotton and a dark blue skirt.

"Um excuse me, is there anything else I can wear." I asked lifting up the skirt.

"No this is what everyone wears." She said and turned back to whatever she was doing.

"What's the problem Bella?" Ethan asked.

"She doesn't like wearing skirts." Mom replied for me, he was about to say something but then just nodded.

"Uh excuse me, can you give me a pair of paints please." I asked the lady, she gave me a weird look.

"Girls aren't allowed to wear pants." She said rolling her eyes with such attitude.

"I don't think the school will say anything- and if they do, we'll see about then." I said putting my hands on my hips, she lady looked at mom who was behind me and then sighed getting up from her seat to get the pants. I swapped the skirt for the pants and went to try them on.

I wore the soft cotton shirt and then wore the pants. The pants were formal navy blue, similar to the ones a man would wear to a meeting with his suit. They stuck to my thighs and all the way up to my waist. I would probably have to ask mom to sew it a bit from the waist, but other than that, it didn't look that bad and I was comfortable.

"Honey let me see how they look." Mom said referring to the pants, I got out and showed her, she squinted her eyes magnifying the pants, then gave me a thumbs up smiling.

"Are you sure you want to wear that at school?" Cameron asked.

"Don't you?" I asked 

"Yeah, but you'll be the only girl wearing pants, it'll make it hard to fit in." Stephan said.

"Uh who said I wanted to fit in? Besides if someone is my friend  I want them to be friends with me because they like me, not because I agree with everything they say or do." I said rolling my eyes.

"No Bella, that's a great decision, being original is great!" Ethan said, but I really was annoyed with his stupid enthusiastic voice and his support was...so...so fake!

"Okay then I'm gonna go change." I said going back in the changing room."

"I don't know, I think she should get a skirt just in case." I heard Cameron say.

I really didn't want to stand out, but the skirt was so uncomfortable and looked ugly, besides I wouldn't be able to be confident while wearing something I fear could go up as I walk up the stairs or when there is wind.

The pants were so much better and comfortable. Yes they literally hugged my thighs and waist, and it would probably be a little intimidating to be the only one wearing pants, but I never really cared about looks anyways.

We had, had the most delicious pizza I've ever tasted and my mouth was still watering from even thinking about the cheesy meal.
