Clarissa's POV:

🎵TURN DOWN FOR WHAT🎵

I jumped up in surprise and ended up falling of my bed. My ears were ringing for a minute and then I looked up only to be greeted by a laughing Will and Alan.

"What is wrong with you?!"

"Sorry, Claire. You weren't waking up so we thought that this was our only way." Will said.

My eyes moved towards Alan, "Did you record the whole thing?"

"He told me to." He replied, nodding his head towards Will.

"Let me guess, it was his idea as well?" I asked, getting up from the floor.

"Yup."

"What time is it?" I asked.

"Its almost 10:30. You should definitely get ready before Mary comes up here." Will answered.

The intercom, that was installed in every room, buzzed and Mary's voice came through.

"Breakfast is ready." She said in a sing-song voice.

"Al stop recording." I said.

"Alright, come to the kitchen after you're done." He said, turning the camera off.

They went out of my room and I went to get ready.

After getting dressed, I went down to the kitchen. Will was sitting in a chair beside the island rubbing the back of his head.

"What happened to you?" I asked.

"Mary hit me with Mr. Wooden spoon at the back of my head." He said and I laughed.

"Did she hit you hard?" I asked and he shook his head.

Mary came in and greeted me, then passed me a plate of breakfast.

"Where's Alan?" I asked.

"Right 'ere." He said coming into the kitchen.

He started eating his breakfast and asked us, "When are we going back to school shopping?"

"After breakfast." Will answered, eating his breakfast.

Alan nodded and continued to eat.

*~*

"Claire, what about this one?" Will asked showing me a bag pack coloured pink with flowers and butterflies on it.

He offered to pick out a bag for me and I accepted it. I'm really starting to regret it now.

"I'm not going to kindergarten, William." I said.

"Don't call me William." He said and went to get another bag. He came back with a purple colored bag with Disney princesses on it.

I looked at Will like he was crazy....maybe he actually was.

"For God's sake Will, I'm not a child!" I exasperated .

"Oh come on we've been doing this for twenty minutes now and you don't like any of my choices."

"Its not my fault that you suck at this."

"I don't suck at this. You don't appreciated my choices."

"You have the craziest choices ever."

"Do you want a bag or not?"

"Of course I do. But this time I'll go look for it myself."

"You should have done twenty minutes ago."

"You were the one that offered to get me one."

"That doesn't mean that you HAVE to agree."

"You could have just not offered and we would've been home by now."

"Not my fault that you don't like anything around here."

"I like a lot of stuff around here. You just don't see it from my point of view."

"Just take this bag and lets go home." He said, offering me the purple bag.

"I'm starting high school and not kindergarten!" I nearly shouted.

"Break it off you two. We are in the middle of a store, not at home. Don't fight now." Alan said, coming in between both of us.

"He started it." I said.

"No I didn't." Will said.

"You were the one who offered." I said.

"Like I said, you didn't have to accept." He said.

"Enough! Are you guys 5?" Alan interrupted once again. He looked at me, "You go look for a bag of your liking and then we check out and leave."

"Fine." I said and went to look of a bag.

I looked around and found a bag. It was black with white dots on it. The front pocket had black and white strip design. I kind of liked it. (Picture above).

I took it and went back to where the boys were at.

"I found one." I said holding up the bag.

"Of course she'd choose that one." Will muttered and I don't think I was meant to hear it.

"What? Black is my favorite color." I said.

"Black is not a color. Its the absence of a shade." Will said.

"Who cares? I like it so I might as well get it."

Alan took the bag from me and went to pay for our things before the conversation could escalate into another fight.
