Colors of Confusion

chapter 12

When I enter my home I see my mom sitting on the couch watching tv. I try to sneak past her but she saw me.

"Soutine. Come here, we have matters to discuss." My mom says formally. I reluctantly walk over to the couch and sit down next to my mom.

"You know you could have just said you liked boys. It's not like I didn't already know." My mom says with a smile on her face. My cheeks begin to burn and my eyes widen.

" What, how. " I say second guessing myself.

"I'm your mother, I'm supposed to know what and don't worry your father knows to. But you have to confirm it with him when he gets home." My mom tells me basically dismissing me from the couch. I get up and head to my room. When I receive a text.

Fashion princess: what are you wearing tomorrow?
Me: What I normally wear why?
Fashion princess: thought so, be over in ten.
Me: Alright.

I log off my phone before I head over to my project and pull out some of water colors and begin to paint the background of my drawing before I get halfway done there was a knock on my door.

"Oh hi Crystal! Soutine is in his room." I hear my mom tell the blonde.

"Thanks mrs. gambrel!" Crystal says walking into the house and towards my room. I hear her Heels click louder as she approached my door. There was a slight knock on my door followed by a I hoped your dressed as my door swings open.

"Hi Crystal, thanks for waiting for me to open the door."

" No time for sarcasm, we have to up your wardrobe in less than 24 hours. "she says opening the case of clothes she had. It was like a make up case but for clothes,threads, buttons, and needles. She had Nathan make it for her.

" Give me one of your shirts that aren't covered in paint. "She demands and I freeze all of my shirts where covered in paint." I won't ask how you manage to put paint on all your shirts but I can make this work. Hand me a shirt that has purple in it. "

I scavenge my drawers until I find a purple shirt with hints of yellow paint. I hand the shirt over and she groans when she sees the complimentary colors. She takes out blue thread and begins to sew something into the shirt. When she finishes, she ask for a pair of pants. She takes what looks like a knife and begins to make holes in the pants. When she finishes she smile proudly before asking me to go change.

I head to the bathroom and change into the newly made outfit. When I finish I head back to my room and when Crystal sees me she looks pleased with herself.

"Another successful client!" Crystal says joyfully "Make sure to wear this tomorrow."

" I will Crystal, Thanks for what you said earlier. "She raises an eyebrow"About finding a boy that makes me happy."

" then don't let him go! This might be your once in a lifetime. I'm pretty sure I've found mine, I just won't let them know just yet. "Crystal says with a small smile.

" So why did you come over here? "I ask her and she smiles.

" well I know that Luke is your once in a lifetime. So I did some snooping for he likes style wise and when I found out, I just had to help you. "Crystal says" we might not be the closest of friends but we are still friends, I'm going to help in anyway I can. "

Just like with Jaime and Fawn I feel as if the world became brighter as Crystal looked at me her resolve set in her heart.

"Thanks Crystal. You wanna hear about my date I have yet to tell anybody." I ask looking at her.

"Praytell." She says closing her clothes box. I begin to retell the date from the moment we entered the arcade to the moment he drove me home. Crystal listens carefully and she smiles brightly . Her eyes look behind mine and spots the pair of jeans that Luke left behind.
