Something Like Normal. IX.

Jocelyn arms went around me as she started over my shoulder as we watched the music video by a Russian singer. She reached up and touched the pore strip on my nose that was drying up. She was laying on the bed and I was on the floor.

''I can't believe I let you do you this.'' I said. ''My pores are fine, this is a women problem.''

''You said you'll try it with me if I bought them. And guys care, don't you want a clean nose?' she asked and I rolled my eyes.

''I'm sure if someone saw me, they'll punch me.'' I said and she giggled. ''This is like when you wouldn't wax your eyebrows and I had to get my upper lip wax.''

''You didn't have to shave your upper lip though for awhile.'' she said as she touched under my nose.

''It hurt.'' I told her.

''I know it does, which is why it was funny watching you in pain.'' she said.

''I care to much.'' I said. ''What guy does this?''

''A best friend does it.'' she said. ''You'll do anything for me.''

''Sadly.'' I said as I scrolled down my phone and she hit my head, making me chuckle. ''How much longer?"

''Uh—oh! Now!'' she said excitedly as she got up from my bed and grabbed my hand. She forced me up and into the bath from. She touched the strip on her nose, ''Slowly, you won't get much if you just rip it off quickly.''

I just peeled the strip off and it pull skin, but didn't hurt very much. I watched Jocelyn wince and hiss in pain, giving up. I got the strip off and saw stiff from my nose on the strip, ''Shit.'' I chuckled and showed her.

''Ew Yuri.'' she chuckled. ''See, this is a good thing. Now help me—gently!" she said when I reached up.

I huffed and grabbed an end, ''Stop moving.''

''Ow! It hurts!'' she said, grabbing my shirt.

''Stop being a baby, I easily took mine off.'' I said as I pulled.

''Yuri! Ow! Uh, that—ow!" she hissed when I just ripped the rest off. She rubbed her nose and glared at me before snatching the strip from my hand, ''Ew, that isn't so bad. How does my nose look?" she asked, showing me her nose.

''Perfect. Happy I did it?'' I asked and she smiled, nodding.

''The country is gorgeous.'' my Scottish friend Brodric said. ''Ye should come visit sometime Yuri. Lots of ladies would love you.'' he chuckled as he hit me playfully in the arm.

'' Lennox does sound nice .'' I said as I looked down at my navy blue sweater with the academy logo on the right side of my chest for a second. ''I probably might take you up on the offer if that means more freedom--''

''Ey, Yuri, check it out.'' my Italian friend Nico said as he cut me off. ''I think that girl over there is watching you. I think she is American, She has the weirdest accent.'' he said as he bopped his head to the left and I followed where I saw the girl from a few days ago quickly looked back at the board of activities. She brought her finger up to her mouth and tapped it as if she really was interested on anything on it. ''This school really need to stop bring them here. Third American I seen. This one has legs to.''
