Who's that girl?

Chapter 18- Shop 'till we drop

'I feel like part of my soul has loved you since the beginning of everything. Maybe we're from the same star.' 

*Wednesday*

Almost two whole days had gone without anything worth writing happening. Almost. 

My alarm went off the normal time it goes off every single day and I snoozed it like I do every single time. It was shaping up to be a good day. But then just as soon as I jumped off my bed; I stepped on a piece of lego. Oh the pain. The horrid, horrid pain. So I stood still as a statue for a few seconds before yelping and grabbing hold of my foot. 

Granted, I had about 10 minutes to shower which was hardly enough but I showered anyway. Like the hygienic girl I am. Except; there was no shower gel and how else was I supposed to smell like sun kissed raspberries without any shower gel? I was fresh out of deodorant too so I grabbed a bottle of extremely expensive perfume which I liked to keep on show but after a while of pushing the top and getting nothing out; I raised the bottle to my face to see if the darn thing even worked. Bad idea. Very very bad idea. The spray squirted onto my face and I took another 10 minutes just rubbing at my face relentlessly which gave my face a baked tomato look. 

 And just as I thought it couldn't get any worse; I decided to walk into Jonah's room unannounced.  

"Oh my dear God!" I yelled, walking into Jonah's room but tumbling upon Noah and some random brunette instead of my brother. Noah grinned maliciously at me and I curled my lip in disgust, "see ya" he said; throwing a shoe at the door so that it slammed in my face.  "Noah!" I screamed; my voice failing me as I banged on the door, "Noah! You-You just-you get her out of there before I-I-I'll-JUST DO IT!" I shouted out and Noah went out of his way to throw another shoe at the already shut door. 

I kicked the door and stomped angrily downstairs. "Jonah. Your best friend's a pig" I muttered but it was more likely than not that if Noah was sleeping in Jonah's bed; Jonah was out. I'd have to have a word with him when he came back. 

"Morning sunshine. Don't you just look....heavenly" Kyle said; taking a massive bite of a red apple before Mason took it out of his grip to take a bite out of another side. "Breakfast?" Mason offered; holding the apple in front of my face and I crinkled my nose at their teeth marks; stained into the exocarp.  "No thanks. What's Kyle doing here?" I asked quickly; grabbing my school bag. "We're here to drop you to school" Mason said and Kyle ruffled my hair about in the annoying way boys do when they realise how hard it was to get rid of all the frizz. 

"Gee. Thanks" I said; opening the door and waiting for them both to leave so I could slam it closed. "Moody much" Kyle murmured and I grabbed his collar; dragging him down, "I had a very very bad morning. Don't make me go to jail for murder too" I whispered and he slowly raised himself to his normal height before moving away. "You know, how about you sit in the front today. I'll sit over here in the back. Alone" Kyle offered and I patted out my skirt; hopping into the seat next to Mason. 

"Well what are you waiting for? Drive" I ordered and he immediately started the car up. "By the way, I have to get my suit for that dance thing; you wanna come with and you know, give a girly opinion" Mason said and I hesitated for a while. "Sure. I have to get my outfit too" I said and he nodded; switching the topic of conversation to yesterday when Theo almost balanced a pencil on his nose. 

****

When the bell rang for the end of school; believe me, I was the first one out. I had been a troubling terror the whole day; arguing even when there was nothing to argue about; shouting when I didn't have to and all in all being unbelievably hard to talk to. For instance when Jackson came over to talk about our outfits for the dance; I made it extremely difficult for him to make our outfits even the slightest bit couple-y so when he suggested that the pair of us go as pirates, I immediately said no. Very very long story short; he's going as a vampire and I, well, I'm going as Audrey Hepburn. You see, no-one would even guess we went together. 

"Let's go" Mason said as we all got strapped into the car and no-one said anything. I knew they were sort of dreading going shopping with me today. I was being a piece of work and they had tried their very best to put up with me; I'll give them that, so I did my best to turn my sassy side down and my normal side up.

By the time we got the shopping centre; we were all back to our normal selves, me more than the others. "What're you going as?" I asked the boys and Kyle was the first to answer, "The three musketeers" he answered happily and Theo grumbled, "I really wanted to go as the three James Bonds" he sighed and I laughed as I patted his shoulder sympathetically. 

It wasn't hard to find Musketeer outfits in a Halloween shop so they were all done in no time. It was harder to find an elegant black dress and pearls in a Halloween shop so I insisted we re-locate. 

"Here" Theo said; throwing the 5th dress I had picked out at me along with a pair of long black gloves Kyle had found and a fake pearl necklace which I just had to pick out myself. "I'll just go try it on" I said; smiling quickly at their impatience with me. 

The dress was hard to zip up all by myself so I left some of the top open; throwing my hair on top of it to cover it up. I was yet to get any heels but in the changing room mirror; I looked just fine. Of course, I was biased; I loved Audrey Hepburn. Always have, always will. 

When I came out of the room; I was all jiggly with excitement, jumping around like a toddler and the boys gave me an unenthusiastic thumbs up as I posed in a different mirror in the shop. "Of course it'll be different on the day," I told them and Theo spoke up, "Oh yeah?" He asked and I turned around to face them. 

"Totally. I'll be all dolled up and oh! Oh, my hair will be like this" I said, grabbing my hair and twirling it round as a messy bun on my head. "What do you think?" I asked Theo as he seemed to be the only one paying attention and he shrugged, "I think you're beautiful" he said and I felt my cheeks getting very hot. "You mean the outfit's beautiful" I corrected and when I looked back up; both Mason and Kyle seemed to be paying attention now as Theo chocked on his words. 

"Yea-Yeah. Sorry. That's what I meant, I'm really sleepy today. We should go" He said quickly and Kyle grinned by his side. "Sure, let me just pay and everything" I said, running back to the changing room; glad to be out of that awkward situation.
