Everyone Around Me is Nuts

I wake up again and daylight shines threw my window. I have a brief flash back of last night and then hit snooze on my alarm clock. Then I realize that it never went off and look at the time.

Crap.

Crap, crap, crap, crap. Crap.

It’s nine AM and I have missed at least half of second period. I rush to my closet and pull on something random. I’m going to be in huge trouble.

“Mom! I need a ride to school!” I yell as I try to get on my skinny jeans.

She opens the door without knocking. “No you don’t.”

I stare at her in confusion. “Because I called in sick for you. We’re spending the day shopping.” She continues.

“Why?” I ask slowly. I’m thrilled about shopping. I mean, it’s much better than PreCelc. But I know that there is a reason behind this.

“Because you are gonna need something to wear on the date!”

 

I have decided to go with it for the moment. I mean, there is no reason that I couldn’t choose no after shopping. My mother is paying okay? This doesn’t happen often.

“OOOOH! Try this on!” My mother squeals handing me a black, strapless, tight fit tank top with small sliver stars. Then she grabs a pair of whit skinny jeans in my size and throws them at me.

“Don’t mind if I do,” I say as I strut toward the changing room.

“I’ll keep looking. Call me when you have it on, I want to see.” My mom replies, still searching the racks.

I pull the outfit on and hit my mom’s sped dial. “ready,” I say and hang up. I admire myself in the mirror. I’m not the prettiest but the clothes do look good.

I walk out of the changing room stall and my mom is already there, arms full of clothes. “Stunning,” she says. “My favorite so far.”

Then she hands me the clothes that she wants me to try on and I hand her the ones that are definite No’s

 

We leave the mall with five new outfits that we couldn’t decide between. “Well, we don’t know where you’re going yet. We have to be prepared.” She reasons as we exit through the automatic doors.

I just smile.

We bought the star tank top and white jeans along with a black jacket and silver flats. We also got an almost tan strapless dress with small pink flowers and a sweetheart neckline with a lace material over it.

“I think you need a second opinion…” My mom says taking my cellphone out of my bag and calls Drew. Quickly she explains the situation and Drew promises to be right over.

We pull into our drive way and she’s already there, hands on her hips. “I can’t believe you never told me that Harry asked you out!” She accuses.

“You were in the same room as me when it happened.” I remind her.

She sputters indigently. “well you didn’t tell me that he followed you to Uxbridge, either!”

“It was last night!”

“Excuses, excuses.”

“I’ll leave you two girls at it then,” my mom says walking past us and in to the house.

“So are you going to help me?” I ask, already knowing the answer.

“If you insist…” She leads the way in to the house and to my room. How come everyone around me is completely nuts?

In this chapter you display a nice talent for control of dialogue. The details of the clothing shopping leaves me yawning, but hey, I'm a guy.
