Chapter 21

I'm sweating ...

I'm sweating buckets at the moment ....

Tonight is the night ... Xavier and I's official first date. I'm currently clawing out my closet, looking something extravagant to wear. Polo shirts? No. Graphic tees? On a first date? No. I literally have nothing to wear.

What am I going to do?

"Scott?" I hear Claire, walking into my room. Confuse on why she's here, I was about to ask, until I see a huge bag she's carrying.

"What's that?"

She grins, holding out the bag. "This, my best friend, is your outfit for the night."

"What?! Claire!"

She just smiles, swinging the bag side to side.

"Oh my god, you're the queen!" I walk up to her and give a big hug.

"Well, like I said, you're clothes are monstrous for an event like this. Here..." She hands me the bag once we end our hug. ".. Go try this on." I take the black bag with words "TopMan" written on it and head inside my bathroom. Once I get in the bathroom, I put down the bag on the counter and take out the clothes. A lightweight purple knitted jumper, stone vintage slim chinos, and pure black Converse All Star is what is inside the bag; the clothes has a tag on it, explaining the clothes description. That's how I know what the clothes are.

Wow, Claire has some good eye on fashion!

I take off the clothes I'm currently wearing; I've freshen up once I got home from school, so no need for another shower. I put on the chino pants, then the purple jumper. Huh, they fit perfectly!

"Scott, come out. Let me see your outfit!" Claire yells through the door. I grab the Converse shoes and walk out the bathroom, feeling flawless with this outfit.

"Ooooh! Sexy!" Claire gushes, getting off the bed, then walking around me as she survey the outfit. "I chose the perfect outfit for you." Feeling accomplish, she claps her hands. "Très bien!"

"English, Claire." Sitting on my bed, putting on my shoes.

"It means 'Very Good' in French. Learned it in class." She grins, grabbing my hands. "Come on, there's more." Leading me out of my room.

"More?" I ask as we run down the stairs and out the door. She lets go of me, walking to her car as I lock my door. "Come on. Hurry!" I hear her yell out.

"Geez, where's she taking me?" Mutter to myself. Once I get in her car, she speeds off.

"So are you going to tell me where we are going?" I pat my pockets to see if I have everything, only to feel nothing in them. "Oh shit! I forgot.."

"... These?" Claire holds out my phone and wallet, still looking forward as she drives.

"How? What?" Confusion on my face as I take it out of her hands.

"Magic.." She sarcastically says, chuckling afterwards.

"So .. Where are we going?" I ask her in a deadpan tone.

She doesn't answer me at first. After several minutes, we reach a salon. "You, my best friend, are getting a haircut." Parking her car in front of the salon. We get out of the car and walk into the building, hearing the sounds of a hairdryer, razor, talks of the customer and employees.

"Welcome to Hairs and Nails. How can I help you today?" The lady at the counter ask, giving us a smile.

"I made a 5 o'clock appointment with Fabio for Scott Jenkins." Claire says.
