I bite my lip as I contemplate whether I should ask the question that's been bouncing around my head all day. Taking a deep breath, I look up at her. "Are you embarrassed of me," I blurt out before I can change my mind. "Is that why you haven't told...
"No. He totally fucking likes you." Astro raised her eyebrows, gathering some glasses. "I just thought of something good. How about this?" She looked me up and down. "If he doesn't ask for your number, I'll give you ten dollars, but if he did you have to wear whatever I say for a week."
I sucked in my cheek. I loved Astro's style but it was nothing I'd wear. I wore hoodies and sweatpants. That was all. She has great style. If I tried to dress well... everybody suffers because I was shit at picking out outfits. I doubt he'd ask for my number though so I agreed. "Okay. Sure."
"Have fun." She laughed.
I shook my head, making my way over to his table with his card and receipt. "Here you go."
He smiled and took his card. I got ready to walk away but he stopped me. "Hey, I couldn't uh—I don't know... get your number or something?"
I pursed my lips and my shoulders tensed up. What do I do? I didn't want to give him my number but I didn't want to hurt his feelings. "I just—"
"Camilla, Keshun needs you're help. Hurry up!" Astro motioned for me to come to the kitchen.
"Sorry. I have to go." I speed walked over to her. "Who's Keshun?"
She shrugged. "I couldn't leave you a stuttering mess over there, but it looks like I won so I'll see you tomorrow morning, honey."

"You don't even know how excited I am for this." Astro smiled opening the door to her bedroom and walking in.
"Why did you even want to do this?" I lingered in the doorway.
"Because you are a very good looking person who doesn't know how to dress."
"No. I know how to dress. I just choose lazy and comfortable over dressing well."
She shook her head. "Well, not this week."
I sighed. "Okay. What am I wearing? Billie's gonna start blowing up my phone if I don't hurry up."
"Okay. Here. Go put this on." She hands me a white T-shirt, a black hoodie with a dark sea green shirt over, some black cargo pants, and a pair of shoes that I couldn't possibly recognize by name. It's not what I expected from Astro. This outfit isn't really her style.

"Okay. Have fun. You're free to go." She waved me off.
"Okay." I start walking.
"Hold on. Let me get a picture. You're such a little cutie."
I shook my head. "I hate you. No."
She held up her phone for a second. "Perfect. Alright. Leave my house, bitch."
I smiled and walked out. "Gladly," I say before shutting the door. My phone dinged a few times and I look down to see four texts from Billie.
