the next morning was uneventful, clanking spoons to bowls as morning soup filled your mouths. the table seemed right with Coriolanus there.
heads turned and noses crinkled at the sight of you two arriving together but you didn't care, you couldn't explain it. you felt like a blooming flower when he looked at you.
soon the day was over and you both giggled as you walked out of the university, street lights turning on as you headed to your neighborhood.
but suddenly you stopped dead in your tracks when you heard someone calling your name
turning, you saw Clemmy. waving her hands while hollering out to you.
"you better go talk to her," Coryo said, you told him all about Clemmy and the shopping disaster
"why should I?" you snarled, thinking about how she probably told the whole school about your freak-out
"she could be apologizing you know" he patted your back before walking off
"good luck!" he called and you sighed, breath visible as you weighed the pros and cons of staying out any later
before you could tally up your reasons to go home, Clemmy ran up to you
"Y/n, we need to talk"
"Clemmy, I already know I'm a joke, there's no need to set me up" You cut straight to it, clemmy's face turned as she processed what you said, confusion evident on her features
"set up?" she questioned
"yeah, isn't this some joke about how poor I am?"
"what? no! you stopped talking to me since that day, so I wanted to make it up to you" she said and your face must've shown how surprised you were because she giggled and took your hand
"make it up to me? wait, so you haven't told anyone?" you felt relief flood you as she shook her head
"no, I've been talking to the girls about what I should do to make you feel better" she said and you let go of her hand to hug her
"thank you, Clemmy" you whispered, feeling horrible that you thought the worst in her because of your own insecurities
.
you sipped on hot cocoa as Clemmy checked her watch, gnawing at her lip as her patience ran thin
"they should've been here 10 minutes ago" she mumbled. you looked around the cafe as you felt increasingly nervous about this gift
as you zoned out you couldn't help but think about Snow. what is he doing? what is he thinking? Is he thinking about you?
you shook your head, why are you wondering these things?
your ears perked as the bell rang and giggling girls stumbled into the cafe
they were Clemmy's friends, and they had an enormous box. you bit your lip, that couldn't be for you.
"HiiI!" they squealed, running over to hug you and Clemmy before shoving the box in your face
"Open it! Open it!" they placed it on the table, you slowly removed the bows as your hand shook, what could this be?
you wiggled the white top and suddenly your vision was clouded with sparkles and glitter and familiar icicles
it's a dress...
no, it's the dress
"C-clemmy, you guys, I- I can't accept this!" you felt your eyes watering, heart heavy as you remembered the price of the dress
"you absolutely will! you're gonna be the best dressed at the winter formal!" Lysistrata screeched
"Sejanus can't say no now!" Clemmy added but her words didn't sound right, you haven't even thought about sejanus since the day you asked him.
you couldn't help but feel as though another name should've been on her tongue, but before you thought any longer you pushed it aside and decided to enjoy the night with your friends.
