Give away her clothes

"Morning!" I said when I walked into the kitchen were Matty was hanging around. He responded with a small nod. "What's with you being all tally today?" I asked. Matty obviously noticed my sarcasm and laughed "Nothing, I am just tired I guess. Ty and Josh had decided to play some kind of hide and seek and ran around my room pretending to be ninjas or something." I couldn't help and bursted out in laughter at the picture of Ty and Josh dressed as ninjas in my head. "I am really sorry!" I answered when I had calmed down a bit. He rolled his eyes before passing the box of cereals over to me and then continued eating. "What are we going to do today?" I asked when I started to chew down my food. "Actually it is good that you are asking, because I came up with a new idea. Since you enjoyed the charity thing so much and have lots of clothes in your closet that you wont wear anymore - and probably never have worn - I thought about going through your closet and finding pieces you could give away for a good cause!" he answered and flashed me a smile. At that I was speechless for a moment, my mouth hanging wide open. "There is no way I am going to do that!" I stated when I found my voice again. "Why not?" was the answer. "Because it is so weird having other people wearing your clothes plus most of them are expensive designer clothes which were limited pieces! I don't have anything costing less than fifty dollars! Except of some underwear and socks and there is no way I am giving away those!" Matty thought about my answer for a second before responding "I am sure that there are some thing which you could give away! We will just go through your clothes and you can say yes or no, okay?" I nodded "Okay, we can do so, but there will be no way that I will say yes to any of your suggestions. "Oh come on! You yourself said a few days ago that it was actually fun to donate and that there was a good, satisfied feeling coming with it. That it was even better than shopping!" I raised an eyebrow at this "I can somehow remember the first thing, but there is no way that I said something like that could be better than shopping." Matty raised his hands in surrender "Okay, I may have made that up by myself but you got  the point." I shook my head "There is nothing better in the world than shopping, let me tell you that!" He murmured something under his breath and I was sure it was something like "Except of sex!" I exclaimed a "No!" before hitting him on his arm. He chuckled "Just saying!" That was so immature that all I could do was rolling my eyes. I followed him upstairs and into my closet. When we were there he clapped his hands twice but before he got started I raised my hand "Hold on!" Then I pulled out a ribbon and threw my hair up into a high ponytail. Once I was done I nodded signalising Matty to go on. He rolled his eyes "Really?" I just shrugged and stepped closer towards the boards. We were standing in front of the t-shirts and he pulled out one of the ones on the bottom of the stack. I examined it for a moment before recognizing it was from Gucci and the only reason why it was on the bottom of the stack was that it didn't fit for this time right now. He continued going through the first stack and always got a head-shaking from me. When he was done with the first there were only two more to go. The second also went by without finding anything. Before he started with the third though he let out a long sigh "Before we start with this stack let me make a new condition: you need to give away at least one thing out of each stack or row! That means because you didn't choose one of the last two ones you have to choose three out of this!" I crossed my arms and protested "That is not fair!" He just shrugged and I let out a sigh - there was no way to convince him to do otherwise. Actually I didn't mind too much because this stuck was full of clothes I barely like and wore. I decided to give away three shirts that weren't too expensive and didn't have any kind of special pattern. They had no pattern to be exact and therefore I still had basics like them even though I had to give away those three! Then we came to the bottoms, were I gave away a blue skirt, two pairs of jeans and a short shorts.

With every piece I was giving away my anger towards Matty grew and he didn't make things better with his "See it isn't that bad" phrases!
