4-The Beginning

Its day 2 of 11th grade and I can bearly believe that I am graduating next year. I head to my cupboard and decide on an outfit. I pick out my same old, skinny jeans and an oversized white T with paint splaters on it that my brother made personaly. I take out my old dirty white sneakers and turn around to throw myself on my bed when I realized that Brett was standing behind me. I scream before he puts his hands over my mouth to calm me. I look at him shocked.
"What's the matter?"
I dont answer I just head to my open window to think how stupid I was to open it.
"So you climbed out your window into the tree and through my window?"
"I was going to say your mom let me in but yeah smarty pants thats what happened."
I roll my sleepy eyes and try to shush him out of my room.
"I am not going anywhere." He demands. I dont answer him. He's staring at my clothes on my bed and thats when I remembered our favour swop.
"Take off your sleep wear I need to judge your bra size because I can clearly see you are not wearing a bra just a vest."
"Are you nuts 'Mr expert in girls underwear' I am not stripping in front of you!"
"Do you want me to cut it off you?" He says with a smirk on his face.
I take a deep breath and remove my night-T to reveal my grey sleep shorts and white vest. He first stands there with a blank face before he comes closer to me. For a moment I look into his eyes but then I begin to feel uncomfortable and look down.
"Yip just as I expected." He says, examining me.
"What?"
"All the right features but all the wrong clothes."
I give him my best worried look.
"I dont get whats wrong with my dress code."
"The skinny jeans can stay but the top has to change."
"Im at home when im in class learning so I need to feel comfortable."
I go into my bathroom and get dressed into my comfortable outfit for the day, brush my teeth and slap on a messy bun. I reach for my spectacles when Brett shouts 'Hurry up!'

I glance at my watch and the time reads 07:32 which means 28 minutes left till school starts.
"This afternoon I am taking you underwear shopping so don't forget to pack your wallet."
"You taking ME underwear shopping?" I fake laugh and then straighten out my smile giving him the dimple.
"No no no, no ways!"
"Do you want my help or not? He raises his one eyebrow while crossing his arms.
I sigh and just give in knowing that I will never win. We continue our walk in through the gates, when I notice that everyone is staring at us. I elbow Brett in the arm but not hard enough that it hurts, he turns to me and nods.
"Its okay Astin." He tries to reassure me. I give a gulp loud enough for him to hear. He stops and turns me around to face him.
"Look we on a mission here and they are our obstacles, are we gonna run around it or tackle it head on?"
Wow. For the first time I realize that he's really serious about this challenge.
"Okay." I say and I take a deep breath. I should have expected this anyway.
"Give me your phone." He orders.
I do as I'm told and reach into my bag. He grabs the phone out of my hand and does something after I punched in my password.
"I put my number on speed dial so if you ever need me I will be there."
He then hands me his phone and I do the same, repeating what he said.
We walk in silence for a few moments before I look down to see that our footsteps are in sync. I smile at my feet for I dont know what reason.
