I woke up early this morning with a smile on my face. It's going to be a good day, I just know it. Surpringly not feeling groggy, I took a quick shower. After drying my hair, I decided instead of putting my hair in its usual gelled hairstyle, I left it naturally curly. It didn't seem so, what's the word? Oh yes, nerdy.
Since my hair was different, I should wear something else besides the same dress pants and shirt.
I went downstairs to go look for Mum.
I looked in the family room to find Gemma sitting on the couch.
"Good morning Marce." she said.
"Good morning." I said, "Did Mum tell you what happened last night?"
She nodded.
"We're going to the shopping centre today, so get ready."
"Okay, do you know if we still have any old clothes from Charlie? I want to wear something different today."
"Yeah, I think so. I'll go ask Mum."
She stood up and I followed her.
Mum came out from her bedroom after Gemma knocked on her door.
"Hey Mum, do we still have clothes from Charlie that might fit Marcel?" Gemma asked her.
"Yeah, we have some in my closet. Why?"
I answered Mum.
"Well, I wanted to shake things up a bit, like you said."
"Okay, come over here. I think we have some jeans and tee shirts."
Gemma and I followed Mum to her closet. Mum pulled out some flannel shirts, graphic tee shirts, skinny jeans and some sneakers.
"Take whatever you want. I'm sure Charlie will be flattered that you want his clothes."
I smiled.
"Thanks."
I grabbed all of the clothes, then went back upstairs to my room. I'm going to need style inspiration from Charlie, my olfer brother by four years.
I looked through all of the clothes, then finally decided on a black Pink Floyd shirt, black skinny jeans and white and worn out Converse sneakers.
I took a look at myself in the mirror. I looked so different, but that is what I'm going for. It was quite satisfying.
"Okay, I'm ready to go now!" I shouted to Gem and Mum, going downstairs.
Gemma and Mum took a good look at me and their jaws dropped.
"Marcel, you look amazing!" Gemma said.
"Couldn't have said it better myself." Mum said with a smile.
I smiled back.
"So what are we waiting on? let's go!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After a 10 minute ride to the closet shoping centre, we arrived.
We stopped at the phone company first, so I can get a phone.
"Go ahead, Marcel. go look for a phone you like and we'll buy it."
"Any phone?" I asked.
"Yeah."
"Okay."
I roamed around the store, testing the phones as Gemma and Mum spoke to an employee.
The phone that really caught my eye was the IPhone 5. It was really thin and slim, there were so many applications..
I called Gemma and Mum over.
"I like this one." I said, showing them the IPhone 5.
"Okay." Mum said.
She got an employee and we started setting up my new phone.
About 20 minutes later, I had the white IPhone 5 with a Rolling Stones cover over it.
"Let's go have lunch and we'll add some phone numbers on your phone." Mum said.
"Do you want Nandos?" Gemma asked me and Mum.
Weboth said yes, so Gemma went to go order what we usually ate atNandos.
Mum and I sat down at a four seated table.
"Can I see your phone? I'm going to add all of the contacts you need."
I nodded and handed Mum my phone.
She pulled out her phone and transferred the numbers onto my phone.
Minutes later, she gave it back.
"Here. I put my number, Gemma's, the home phone and Charlie's."
"Okay. Thanks."
"You're welcome."
There was a short silence.
"Mum, I'm sorry. About what happened last night, I know I shouldn't yelled at you and I shouldn't have left and I shouldn't have hurt Zayn and I shouldn't have went out and drink some beer-"
"Marcel. It's okay. If anything, it's all my fault. I love you somuch, no matter how you look or how you dress. You are perfect, you are my baby. It's your life, and you should ve the one to choose how to live it."
I smiled.
"I love you."
"I love you too sweetheart."
Seconds later Gemma cane back to our table with a tray of food.
She sat down and we ate our food.
"After we're done eating, can I go visit a few stores? I want to get new clothes." I asked.
"Yeah, of course. Gemma and I will go shopping too." Mum said.
I nodded.
After finishing our lovely Nandos, the three of us went off to the stores.
"Wait Marcel." Mum said.
She gave me 70 pounds.
"Get whatever you like."
I smiled.
"Thank you so much."
She just nodded.
Her and Gemma walked to the girly shops as I went to the more masculine shops.
It felt weird shopping at these stores, they were much more modern.
I went a shop called Jcrew and a shop called Topman. I bought some nice shirts and accessories that look appropriate for the style I'm going for.
I unlocked my phone to tell Mum I was done shopping.
I went to the messaging app. I looked at my contacts.
Charlie, Gemma, Home Phone, Liam, Payne, Mum, Niall Horan, and Zayn.
Why did Mum put the boys' numbers in my phone?
I'll just ask her later.
To Mum: I'm done shopping, just tell me when you're ready and I'll meet you in front of the shopping centre.
As I was walking out, my phone vibrated.
I read the message.
From Mum: Okay, we'll be out in 10 minutes.
To Mum: Alright.
I sat outside on a bench for a little bit, when my phone started ringing.
Incoming Call: Zayn Malik.
