Chapter 3: New Uniform
Scarlett
Drifting deep in my peaceful sleep, I felt something jumping out of the blue that scared the shit out of me.
I opened my eyes quickly and guess what it was my fluffy brown puppy, of course.
Even she was shocked by my reaction and took a back looking into my eyes.
Offering my hands, she jumped, licking my face.
That's my baby girl. Petting, her as well.
It was ten o'clock in the morning. Stretching my arms and yawing,
I realise how tired I was from yesterday.
My muscles hurt from lifting the packers and moving the furniture.
I gasp at the fact I have to get my own new uniform as well.
Will I be looking good in my new uniform as Jayden does? I thought to myself, laughing like a foolish teenager. Let's find out.
I jump out of my bed in happiness going, to the bathroom. The thought of going to school until I graduate without moving anymore was so astonishing.
When I came downstairs, two of my Lil brothers came running to my lap.
Hey! Slow down. Otherwise, you guys will be hurt. I tell them. Lifting Oliver up
Did you guys miss me so much? They both nodded yes as I couldn't stop my hand to pinch their cheeks.
Oliver is my stepbrother. He is the youngest five years old.
He has dark-brown curly hair with light brown hazel eyes.
Luca is my brother. He is seven years old. He has brown-blonde hair with blue eyes and freckles on his face, which makes him adorable as well.
Luca took his appearance after my father, who passed away six years ago.
If you asked me, I love them both equally and, of course, my fluffy puppy too.
" I want to go to the swimming pool says, Oliver. Showing his puppy eyes, like he knew I would say no to him.
"Me too," says Luca pulling my arms from both sides.
Sorry buddies but I have to buy my school uniform. I am afraid I can't come, swimming with you guys now.
But I promise later on. I will join you guys. How does that sound?
Looking at their faces, I already know they are disappointed in me.
It was not like I have another choice.
I wanted so bad to get my uniforms.
What about I will get you guys something on my way as well? How does that sound?
They both jumped in the air. I knew that would work as always.
How amusing are they?
"You are the best sis ever," says Oliver hugging me.
"You promised heh?" comes Luca more like, don't break our promise.
Yes, I did a pinky swear? I did so that they would believe me compared to my parents. When they promise something, they never hold to their promises.
So No wonder why Luca had to ask to make sure I would keep my promise to them.
Where are mom and Cooper, though?
"Dad went to business, and mom is in the garden." Informs Luca.
Since when does he have a business to attend? He was jobless for so many years.
The only thing he does is drinking and doing useless things.
Something is fishy. Indeed.
It took me an hour to reach the uniforms shop. You know, the feeling when you are doing something for the first time, and you struggle with it.
Well, I am in that position right now, especially in a new city where we just moved in with unknown people.
I don't like strangers, to be honest.
Most of them look at me so disgusted.
Sometimes I think, do I have something on my face?
Just a minute ago, so an old woman said to me, "You don't belong here."
Like, what the hell is their business with me?
Finally, I arrived at a fancy store called Next*Step.
It was so high that I had to look up even a fly could get into my mouth.
How surprised I was.
And they call this a store? That was the first thing that came to my mind.
The building was freaking 200m tall.
It is out of glasses, in the shape of a catalogue design.
Are you kidding me? My jaw dropped.
Because of the shock, I had to check five times if I had the correct address.
After I walk into the store, all the eyes are in my direction. Like I stole something.
I froze there. What did I do this time? I question myself.
My mind was telling me I should go back. It is probably the wrong address.
It was so awkward for me to stand and do nothing.
With some courage, I went to the reception. I was burning from inside, and my cheeks were red as a tomato for sure.
I sheepily spoke to the reception lady who was eye killing me. What is her problem? She even checked me from head to toe as if she is scanning me.
"Do you have booked an appointment? If so, tell me your reference or client number, but I don't think you did have any of them." She says in a bitcha tone, looking at her nails.
What do you mean? I ask in a confused tone. Why should I have that in first of the place?
"Duh! isn't clear? Not everyone can come to buy clothes that are worth a million dollars, especially you. You of the all people come here? Are you kidding me? Know your place bitch.
You know your way out, right before I call the guards?" I swear I want to turn her neck on. she is boiling my blood. What does she think she is?
What am I going to do now? Maybe I am at the wrong store. I mumble.
Walking my way out, I run into someone. Fixing my glasses, I look up and see Jayden standing in front of me.
"Hey, Scarlett, right? he smiles cutely.
Yes. I nod my head avoiding eye contact.
"What a coincidence you come here for your uniform too?"
Yes. I again nod my head. What is wrong with me.
"Me too. Let's go together. Anyways, I know the store better than you." He grins.
I got kicked out. I tell Jayden honestly. What if that bitcha embarrasses me in front of him? I hake my head from this stupid thought of me.
"Oh, is that so? Apparently, the rule is that you must book before you come here, but I assume you didn't know so. You can stick with me, or else you won't be wearing a uniform tomorrow, I guess." Omg, I was staring at his lips all the time. What is wrong with me. He is a gentleman, isn't he? I meltdown.
Thank you, I guess. That was all that came out of my mouth.
He pulls me with him inside the store. I saw the receptionist staring in horror. I stick my tongue as a little child to her. It feels good, though.
No one spoke to him or dared to look at him. He took me upstairs with the elevator and is sitting on a fancy couch. I watch every move he makes.
He clears his throat a second later, so a lady runs to him to serve.
"What can I do for you, my heir? She asks, bowing to him. What the hell is happening. Is he a king of what?
"Just serve my friend there and get everything she wants to." He doesn't look at her, but instead, he plays with his phone. I am hella confused.
" Yes sir, She bows and comes to me. How can I help you, my dear?"
I am here for my school uniform, I tell her.
"Oh, I see. This way, please." I follow her.
First, she measured my size and went gone for a while. When she came back, she had a clothing rail with her. Full of black-Reddies uniform.
They were Literally shining.
Waaw, they are beautiful. I can't wait till I can change into them.
"Here, try this one." She gave me a legging, skirt, blazer, tie, red shirt and bow decor flat loafers. I was so excited that I was going to wear this.
I like to wear a uniform, to be honest. I might be weird, but yeah.
When I came out of the changing room, the server was looking weird at me. Wait, am I wearing it the wrong way. But I am not. I look back at her.
"You are missing the backpack." She runs somewhere and comes back again.
"Here, try it on" She gave me a black decor backpack.
"Looking beautiful," says Jayden behind my back. Wait, was he here all the time?
T.. Thank you. I stutter like I couldn't find the correct words.
" Put them on my master card, and let's go, Scarlett."
No, I am going to buy it by myself. I refuse Jayden's offer.
"Believe me, it will be hard, plus I insist. It is on me." He winks at me. What does he mean by had by it will be hard for me? Should I ask? No, maybe not.
I changed back into my clothes and put my uniform in a bag.
My eyes whited when I saw the price tag.
What in heaven names am I seeing?
This price is overpriced for an average person like me.
How can I even offer this?
Is this the reason why Jayden said that, and the receptionist looked so disgusted at me?
How will I pay him back? Maybe over ten years or maybe longer?
After all the trouble, I caused Jayden. I am finally back at home.
I should think of something to give him in return, but what does he like, though?
Let's think about it later.
I am tired right now.
Relaxing on my bed, I actually fall asleep.
