“Why?” asked Arianne with a bewildered expression on her face.
“Well, what do you expect? The first time I come up on his radar, I slap him. Of course my instincts tell me to get out there as fast as I can. But I did apologize to him before disappearing.”
“Wait, wait, wait...You slapped Alexei Clarke?” she exclaimed.
“Yep,” I answered, making a popping noise with the P.
“Why?”
“He slung his arm on my shoulder so I immediately thought he was a kidnapper. Because you know, they do that to me…”
“Wow. I didn’t hear about that. I just heard you two were partnered so I came running here to confirm it.”
“I’m sure you’ll be hearing a lot about that tomorrow and for the rest of the, I don’t know, month? Because I’m pretty sure it won’t die down after just a week. Now that I know he’s one of the popular crowd, it’ll definitely last longer. I’m already planning on how to tell my dad about changing schools and—“
“Oh don’t be so dramatic. It’ll turn out fine. Now stop sulking and let’s go shopping,” she told me which only made me groan.
I freaking hate shopping because A. I don’t have a sense of style according to my aunt who laughs at my attempts at dressing up, and B. Who would want to walk around the mall aimlessly for hours? I’d rather read a manga or curl up in the theatre room watching anime or live action movies of anime. And anyway, anime merchandise can be easily bought online so I’m good with the t-shirts.
That’s why most of my clothes are either chosen by Arianne, who proclaimed herself as my personal assistant whether it is in terms of fashion or appointments, or gifts from my grandparents, who are living in Europe.
It would cost me my life to decline Arianne though. She wants to be a fashion designer someday and she pinned it to me to be her model. I support her dream so I stopped refusing a long time ago. What are best friends for? And anyway, if I don’t go with her she’ll guilt-trip me. Now that I think of it, I feel like we’re Sakura and Tomoyo from Cardcaptor Sakura when she dresses me up.
“Why don’t you ask your partner then? By the way, who’s your partner?” I asked her since I already know there is no way out of this. I followed her to my walk-in closet which has the Clow Card book cover painted on the door.
“Julian...” she trailed off giving me the clothes she picked.
