I AIMLESSLY waited for sarah to return from whatever she had planned, sitting on my bed impatiently waiting for the moment that she'd burst through the door with her purchases. she had promised me she'd return at roughly four o' clock, after she'd abandoned me at the market in the middle of the town after having lunch together, assuring me that she had 'important business' to carry out and she 'wouldn't be long'. two hours later, i begun to lose all hope.
"she'll be back soon," i anticipated, eyeing the door carefully. "just be patient. any second now."
as soon as those words popped into my head, i heard the door click open. in walked sarah, with a pile of plastic bags in her hand, grinning at me before throwing them down. "right," she huffed, wiping the drop of sweat that slowly proceeded down her forehead. "i've bought you a few things for your date tonight and—"
"a few things?" my eyes shot wide open, surprised at the amount of bags that were now thrown untidily across my bed. "sarah, you've practically bought the whole fucking market! where do you think i'm going?"
"on the best date ever, now thanks to me," she giggled, throwing out pieces of clothing and pairs of shoes across the bed. "we have a few options here, but i think this will match with this." she picked up a deep blue strap dress made from stretchy fabric that cut off mid thigh, alongside a pair of silver coloured open toe heels with a giant holographic butterfly on the front, that glowed iridescent when the light hit them at a certain angle.
"okay, now i know you haven't worn them out in years," sarah fished out a pair of scissors from a smaller brown bag. "but your fringe would look amazing with that outfit."
"i haven't had my fringe out since nineteen-eighty nine," i chuckled, as she took a hairbrush to my tangled hair, bringing the bunch of slightly shorter hair to the front of my face, trimming them. "please be careful though, 'cause i don't want my hair ruined."
