Flying High

Chapter 8

        John took Chris and I to a store called Arepostal. Chris said thats were he got all his cloths and everyone else wore it, so I would fit it. The only problem was that all of the cloths there were to tight to hide my wings under. We managed to find a couple hoodie with Earth brands but that was about it. I told John that I was fine but he said people would start getting suspisious if I wore a hoodie every day in the summer. Summer, was what Earth people called the hottest time of the year. On Slenos we just called it hernos. We went to a few other stores, a few Chris said were lame, and still didn't find anything. Finally after hours John decided we could just look in the mens departments instead of the teens. I had no problem with this but Chris insisted that he would not have a cousin dressed like his old man. Chris took me back to the teen section and grabbed a few extra large shirts.

        "Your pretty buff so it should work fine" he then pushed me towards a small room. I gave him a confused and he rolled his eyes at me. "You try on the shirt in there." I nodded then walked in. I shut the door behind me and when I turned around there were three mirrors looking straight at me. I slowly took of my hoodie and looked at me white wings. They were flecked with gold feathers that gave them a nice acsent. I closed my wings as closely to my back as I could then put the shirt on. The shirt was just baggy enough to hide my wings yet not look to large. I walked out of the room to see Chris sitting in a chair by the door on his phone. I cleared my throat and he looked up at me. His eyes opened wide and a huge grin grew on his face. "Turn around" I did what he said and he gave out a little whistle. "Man this is perfect. We'll get you a few of these and I guarantee you will get girls left and right." I gave him a confused look. "It's a good thing. Dude I really need to teach you some Earth talk."

        After John payed for my cloths I had gotten a total of 7 shirts, 3 pairs of pants, a pair of shoes called Nike's, and some socks. We got to the house and Chris told me to follow him into his room so I could out my new cloths away.

        "It's time you stop living out of your suitcase." Chris stated.

        "I've only been here for like, a day. It's not like I had a lot of time to unpack." I replied. He shrugged his shoulders and muttered a whatever. He then pulled open a door and inside was a small room filled with cloths.. He started pushing all of his cloths to the right side of the room. He loked at me and raised an eyebrow.

        "Dude, have you never seen a closet before?" he asked.

        "Well yeah, but yours are much diffrent then mine was back home. Ours are more like holes in the wall. Not a completely separate room." Chris nodded his head.

        "Okay well, this is what they are like here. This will be my side, and this will be your side" he said while gesturing inside the closet. I walked over and started hanging up all of my cloths. Chris told me to just throw my socks on the floor for now. When I finished, Chris and I walked into the living room and sat on the couch. We started watching some game where these two groupd of guys in tight pants start jumping on each other of some diamond shaped object. Chris seemed to love it because he kept cheering when the guys in blue hit the end of the field and cursing when the purple team went to the edge of the other side. The game was pretty elementary so i didn't quite understand why Chris was getting so worked up over it. Suddenly the door banged open and I quickly turned to look at the front door. In comes Krystal holding three huge bags overflowing with cloths.

               "Kade the cloths here are so cute!" she whisper yelled to me. I rolled my eyes and got up to help her with the door and her bags. Following close behind was Olivia holding another two bags.

        "Woah guys whats all the ruckus" John said while walking into the living room.

        "Well you said she lost all her cloths on the plane so I figured she would need alot. Plus it was great girl bonding time." Olivia said.

        "I'll take those" I said and took the bags from Olivia. "Come on Krys, lets put your stuff away."         "Krystal" she said and followed me into her back room. I threw the two bags onto her bed and she followed suit.

        "So what all did you get? hopefully you actually got what you were suppossed to be there for." Krystal rolled her eyes at me and pulled a shirt out of her bag. It was almost like a sweater but not quite. The head hole was way to big and it had the words 'MIAMI' printed on the front. "Why is the head whole to big?" I asked her. She giggled.

        "It's supped to hang off one of your shoulders silly" Krystal said.

        "But does it hide your wings?" I said underbreath incase anyone was close to the door.

        "Yes Kade, I tried all of these on to make sure."

        "Good." Krystal then started pushing me out of the room.

      "Now let me put my stuff away" she said while grunting. She wasn't using any of her super strength, as not to draw attention, so she was having a hard time moving me. I finally just walked out.

          "Alright alright" and I left.
