Vaniville High - After Story

Chapter 7 - The Brains, The Brawn and The Beauty

(May)

After the summer, we all parted ways and decided to do different things, jobs, college, whatever we felt was necessary to follow our dreams. We didn't all fully part ways, I still got to stay with two of my best friends, Misty and Dawn.

"Dawn, how long are you going to drag us around for?" I moaned as we stepped into yet another shop. Dawn was skipping around, with joy on her face. Misty and I were carrying bags full of clothes, shoes and whatever else. Some of it was ours, but Dawn was having a field day. 

"Why can't you just get a boyfriend so we can stop this?" Misty moaned too. Dawn stopped and turned around to face Misty, hands on her hips.

"Do you not like shopping?" she asked, in all of her glory.

"Not really" Misty replied bluntly, holding a straight face through it all. 

"It is getting quite late and we can't really carry anymore. Shall we call it a night?" I suggested, looking between a tired Misty and frowning Dawn.

"Sounds good to me" Misty instantly brightened up and Dawn sighed.

"I guess I have been buying too much, let's get going then" 

With that, we all headed out back to Dawn's house. We had planned a sleepover the previous day, after college. I went to a different college than Misty and Dawn, but we were only on either end of the city. Dawn managed to grab up an apartment using her parents money that they had spoiled her with after getting good grades on her finals.

This was my first time stepping into the apartment. 

Dawn took out her key and unlocked the door, before opening it up. We stepped inside in awe of the apartment. It was a very lavish living space. The lounge area had a large leather sofa, with a black wood coffee table, that had a very expensive looking flower vase. The TV on the wall looked like a 40-inch TV, with surround sound. For some reason, Dawn also had a Wii set up. The kitchen was connected to the lounge area, with a white counter and black tabletop in the centre, then the same counters all around the outside, with her oven and other necessary kitchen equipment. Dawn's apartment was finished by a large master bedroom and a smaller, yet more peaceful looking guest bedroom. Everything was finished off by a balcony, overlooking the whole neighbourhood. After all, Dawn was on the top floor. 

"Why is there little or no lights in the apartment?" Misty wondered out loud after we took a look around.

"Well, it is because the right side of the apartment is mostly glass, which means natural light has its benefits, such as being good for the environment" Dawn explained.

"Since when did you become environmentally friendly? You buy clothes made from animals" Misty pouted, but Dawn shrugged.

"Every little helps" 

"What should we do then, since we have quite a few hours to kill still?" I asked, looking around the apartment. There wasn't a lot to do since the place wasn't massive. 

"Shall we go and see Drew and Kenny?" Dawn suggested. "I am hungry anyway, so we can grab some food there" 

"Sounds like a good idea, actually" I nodded, it did sound like a pretty good idea.

"Sure, why not. We haven't seen them in awhile" Misty agreed and it was settled. We put our things down and sorted out the beds for the night, although I knew we were probably going to sleep on the sofa and on the carpet in the lounge area. 

We all hopped into Dawn's car since Misty didn't have hers on hand and I hadn't got a license yet, never mind a car. We drove down the road and headed into the centre of Vaniville, where Drew and Kenny were working.
