Kapitel 20: Where is the rest of it?
My bright mood seemed to have made the day fly by even faster than usual. I shared this class with Harin so we left together hand in hand like we usually do. I felt better and even stopped to talk to a few kids.
I wouldn't say that I was popular but being a Honor student gives some recognition in the halls that and the fact that I'm friends with Harin who seems to know everyone.
Her frequent stops in the hall ways would usually annoy me but today I didn't mind. I decided to follow Miss. S' advice and make the most of my college years.
"So is there any parties this weekend?" I casually asked Harin as we continued to walk down the hall to the exit.
She stopped dead in her tracks at the hearing of my question, "Umm who the fuck are you and what have you done with my bestfriend!?"
"Shh be quiet we are in public!" I whisper yelled rolling my eyes at her stupid face. "Miss. S said I should make the most of my years so I wanted to maybe go to a party but you are clearly no help so Nevermi-"
"No wait. I'm just shocked that's all" she said running to catch up with me. "So a party huh?" she said nudging me in the side and wiggling her eyebrows.
"Dude I asked about a party not where is the nearest sex shop so why the wiggling of the eyebrows?" I asked pointing to her eyebrows.
"Well a party can turn into a sex shop so yeah" she said matter of factly.
We continued to walk hand in hand to the bus stop where she signaled a taxi and spoke into my ear, "we need to go shopping."
I nodded giving in for it was no use in arguing. I needed something new to wear anyways. I intend on forgetting all about Shiwoo at this party. I think its time for a boyfriend maybe.
We arrived at one of Harin's favorite malls. I didn't too care for where we went but she was very particular saying she can get the best deals and best quality here.
She pulled me into a 'Forever 21' store and proceeded to fumble through the racks of the dresses as I followed behind her, arms folded absent mindedly.
Harin suddenly stopped causing me to bump into her and she asked, "Ouu this looks nice. How about it?"
I looked over the toddler sized dress she was holding with a grimace on my face. Was she actually serious?
"Harin i said i was shopping for clothes for me. Not my unborn child" I said as I took the clothes from her holding it up to examine in. Where was the rest of it?
She looked at me bored as I continued to examine the piece of cloth.
"Isn't it supposed to just be like a normal College part like you know jeans and a shirt?"
"Usually yes but this week it is being held in the penthouse so semi formal hence a dress" she said holding up another dress.
"Wait whose penthouse are we talking though?" I asked as I ran my hands over a yellow body dress with a slit up to the thigh. It was really cute. I have always wanted to wear a dress like this but my parents would refuse.
"I like that one too. Yellow would look good with your complexion " said Harin as she noticed the way she I was admiring the dress.
"You think so?" I asked picking it up and placing it over my body.
"Excuse me young ladies but do you guys need any help"? asked an older gentle looking woman who worked in the store.
"Yes! Please to tell my gorgeous friend here that this dress will look good on her" said Harin taking the dress from the clutches of my arm.
"Yes this actually compliments your skin tone and will go very well with your figure." she said smiling politely.
Harin nudged me in the side, "see I told you so but you never listen. "
I rolled my eyes at her as the shop assistant asked, "Would you like to try it on? The dressing rooms are this way".
I nodded my head yes and she encouraged me to follow her. Harin walked behind us with the dress in her hand and even wanted to get in the stalls with me.
"Dude what are you doing?" I asked giving her a gentle nudge backwards as she was about to step in and close the door.
"What? I am only trying to help" she said seemingly offended.
"I am a big girl Harin. I can help my self so thanks but no thanks" I said as I closed the door in her face.
I took my clothes off and pulled the dress over my head. It fit like a glove. It really did hugged my figure and the slit was just right. It was simple yet elegant. I am not going to lie but I really loved how it look.
I stepped out of the stalls and heard Harin and the sales woman both gasped, "wow. It looks better than I thought."
"Are you going to buy it? Say yes" said the sales lady excitedly clapping.
I looked at the price tag and my excitement faded into distraught. It was too expensive. Although I really liked it I will have to find another.
Harin noticed my sad state and took her card out as if she had read my mind about being too broke, "here. We are paying with card."
"Harin you don't have to do this. I can find something cheaper" I whispered out of embarrassment.
"Atalia it's fine. It's all on daddy. It's nothing compared to how good the dress looks on you so just accept the good deed and say yes to the dress" she said ignoring me and walking to the cashier.
"I sometimes swear your father is apart of the Mafia or something" I joked expecting her to laugh with me but she didn't. Instead I saw a look of seriousness flash across her eyes as she turned to look at me for a quick second.
Huh? That's strange. Was I right or something?
I couldn't be I shook my head as I thought and chuckled at my stupidity.
I went back into the stall and changed from the dress into my own clothes and neatly folded the dress. I exited the stall and went up to the cashier where Harin was waiting. The sales lady took my dress and placed it in a bag marked 'Forever 21' with a smile, "come again soon and you made a good choice."
I smiled as I took the bags and exited the store with Harin hand in hand. I felt really excited as I thought about wearing the dress and finally attending a party.
Harin on the other hand seemed lost in her thoughts as we walked towards the bus stop, "hey what's on your mind?" I asked worried.
"Huh? Nothing. I was just wondering what was I going to wear that's all" she was clearly lying but I didn't want to press on any further.
Harin for the most part has been very open about her feelings to me, but when the topic changes to her family she becomes closed off and distant.
I am not one to pry in people's live so I didn't ask anymore. I sometimes wish she would tell me though so I could try to help.
They say all truth must be revealed and those in the dark must see the light so time will tell.
With that in mind we hailed a taxi and returned to the apartment. Just two more days of school to the party. I felt like a rebellious teenager.
Sometimes I forget I am a bills paying adult.
