I'm in a dress, and I'm going to kill them.
I didn't think girls would go shopping for hours. I think I've been drag by them to a couple of stores and about fifty outfits, but every time, of course, it was a big no.
I don't think I can't handle it anymore.
"Nana, I haven't seen you in a dress in a while," Liz said to Yura as she tightens the lace behind," you look beautiful."
I grunt again as she tightens the dress. I was planning on going with whatever I have in the closet; consist of a t-shirt and jeans with converse, and I was scolded for being too 'basic'.
"Isn't this too much, we're just going out on lunch and –"
"Nonsense! It's a crime for girls if they don't dress for themselves, you should treat yourself more often Nana," Yura smiles as she held my hands," You should show your curves more, prince charming isn't going to run around for your glass slippers."
"He did and –"
"Nana go twirl for us!" I groan as I twirl, hoping to avoid knocking stuff.
"Girls, I think we hit the jackpot," Liz said excitedly.
The girls had suggested going shopping after Nicholas had called last night.

After the hectic day, it was time for me to do my daily routine, going to the fridge and grabbing food while I listen through Netflix. I had finished the last episode, and I'm going to go to random films. A little click here and there the movie started to play.
It was a bit fun using my disabilities, and I wouldn't need to judge on the appearance of the movie since I'll be listening to it.
Ten minutes have passed, and suddenly I heard my phone ring. I try to feel the square device and swipe to listen to the caller.
"Hello?"
"I'm glad you didn't give me a fake phone number."
My eyebrows furrow and then I remember I blurt out a certain number to someone.
"Hello? Is someone there…" the phone started to make a fuzzy sound when I heard a whisper," Anaya did you forget we were going to call and – is this someone else I'm so sorry – "
"Wait!" I shouted, a little bit loudly," Hey… Hey sorry, I thought you were joking, yeah, I'm here."
"Good… so hey…"
"Hi…" Well, this is awkward; we don't know what to say. Is there anything to say at all?
"This is awkward, I'm sorry," he laughs, and I giggle, it was. This was the first time in my life the opposite gender had called me, well excluding dad that is. Are all phone calls with the opposite gender this awkward?
"No… I shouldn't have made this awkward so… hey when do you want to go for lunch?"
I smile at his attempt to make it un-awkward as possible. But it was a bit hard since I've never seen someone as awkward as me, I don't even know what to say, should I go for it and straight to the point? Or should I wait and then let him decided with his schedule? Or should I arrange the schedule? Should I pretend like I don't know and wing it the next day?
I need answers for all of this, I don't know what to do, and someone needs to tell me. Someone should get me that seashell from SpongeBob, I heard it help the situation, minus Squidward's nagging.
"uh… Anaya Moore are you still there?"
"Nana…." I quietly mutter, a habit I picked up on him. As he likes calling me by my full name, don't get me wrong, I do love my name. But hearing it entirely said it's just a mouthful and weird.
He sounded like dad.
"What?"
"Nana… you can call me that, I don't know how you put up with calling by full name," I said as the line went dead for a moment before I heard a faint laugh on the background.
"Your right it is a mouthful, but I like your name it fits you," He said, sounding casual. Well, that's what he thinks, but for Anaya, it was something else, She didn't know what she was feeling right now.
It was something in the pit of her stomach, it was kicking in, and it was making her all fuzzy and extremely happy, well it did a flip when he said he liked her, wait, like her name.
Not her, no, not her.
But she couldn't deny the smile that creeps into her face, and she couldn't stop smiling.
I shrug," I'm saving your time by letting you call me by my nickname. I don't just let anyone call me that."
Well, that certainly did something to him as he felt his heart started to beat in uncertain pace, this is normal right? It never happens when he talks to other girls, so he must be doing something right, right?"
"Well, I'm honoured for that Anaya Moore, but I do insist calling you by your full name if you don't mind, I like to remind myself that you're important and I want to show but calling your full name."
It raises a question for me, I'm essential, wait, am I important?
"I don't think everyone will agree to that," I chuckle," and no, I do not mind if you call me that, it's my name."
"Correct Anaya Moore, but I don't think you should worry about other people, I hope you don't mind if I'm the only one who agrees, I think if one person agrees, isn't that all it matters?"
"Yes, but we do live in a society, and people's mind is different and –"
"Just like what you said who gives a single f-"
"Please don't swear,"
"Flower, single flower. About other people, if you kept listening to them, you'll get to nowhere, I hope I'm enough for you Anaya Moore."
I don't know about you, but I do hope you're enough Nicholas White.
"I hope you know that you have a pretty name, period."
"Well, I also like your name," I compliment him, isn't that what friends do right? Complement each other's name. Well, she thought it was normal until Nicholas started to laugh.
Was it something she said?
"Anaya Moore are you serious?" He laughs, the fuzzy feeling inside my stomach suddenly vanish as something inside me started to bubble, it was uncomfortable, and I could feel myself heating up, So I did what I could think of that time,
"I'm sorry I'm just… uh…".
I ended the call.
