Roselyn walked through the corridor, smiling like an idiot, feeling so happy that she could explode with joy. Andreas asked her out for a real date. She barely could believe it.
She freezes in the middle of the hall, when she remembers she doesn't have a dress. She just had brought a few of her clothes with her. But worse was the fact that she's never had a date before, which made things even more complicated. What was she supposed to do? What could she talk about? She knew nothing about magic, so that was a topic to avoid. She couldn't even talk about herself because he basically already knew all her difficulties, because of the dossier he and the entire council had to examine before admitting her to the school.
In a nutshell, all they had in common, all they could talk about was sex? Roselyn shakes her head. The date was already ruined by her overthinking.
"Why do you look like you've just found out your hamster died?" Karen questioned, staring at Roselyn freed in the middle of the school. "Wait, do you have a hamster? Oh my god, I'm so sorry for your los.."
Roselyn turns around and stares at her bug eyed, "oh. that's serious." Karen continued.
"It is!" Roselyn exclaims walking quickly toward the exit, while Karen tried to keep up with her fast walking. "I have a date. I've never had a date before. In addition, I don't have a dress, I don't know what to do!!" She says freaking out.
"So your hamster didn't die?" She questioned, still puzzled, Roselyn rolls her eyes as a response.
"Alright, I can help you with everything then. I'm free now, let's go shopping and buy a dress!" She shows a cocky wink and confident smile, then she puts her arms on the hips, "But who is your date??"
Roselyn shrugs, trying to ignore that question-
"Tell me or I won't help you!" She half smiled, making Roselyn scoffs.
"But you can't tell anybody." Roselyn replied with a low voice. They reached the garden and were chatting in front of a bench.
Karen nods, eager to know who that mysterious man was.
"Andreas.." Roselyn admits, Karen suddenly puts her hand over her mouth in shock but then smiles "I knew it!"
"He had many girls, and the only one he went out with was Emily. However, before having dates with her, he hanged out with her for years." She noted.
"You think he's playing me?" Rose questioned. slightly concerned after what she just said yet glad because she was feeling somehow special to find out he was paying special attention to her,
"I don't know, but he's not the guy who dates, trust me, I've known in for years and he always leaves the girl when she gets close too much. But maybe he could still have good intentions." she rested his chin in his palm and looked thoughtful.
"You're making me confused!" Roselyn complains.
"Sorry! Look, go for the date and see what happens. You didn't catch feeling already right?"
Roselyn nods no, trying to seem as convincing as possible.
"well don't catch feelings, number one rule. Boys are not worth it, they are just going to break your heart" she states nodding with her head like if she knew exactly what she was talking about.
It was too late for Roselyn not to catch feelings. Every time she was around him she felt like she was safe, like she was standing with an army. She felt like she found the right place, that place where she belonged, near him.
They get in Karen's car so they can drive in the shop that, from Karen's description, it was 'THE shop for all the baddest bitches out there', she said clapping her hands.
When they arrive there, from the outside the shop seemed pretty much normal, but as soon as Roselyn walked in she remains amazed by the sight of such an odd shop. It seemed to come from the future. It had fitting rooms here and there, in which there was what seemed like an electronic device. Clients had to scroll down to check clothes, once they picked one dress they just had to click on it and, somehow, that device would put the dress on clients. She tries to walk in those special rooms, hardly believing that something like that could be possible. When she moves the curtain to walk in, a laser light scan her down, probably to take her measurements and pick the right dress side.
She scrolls down that weird monitor, checking for the right dress. There were dresses of every kind, from short to middle length to long. With every style, from vintage '80'-'90 years to haute couture. It was incredible. That might be the reason why there weren't many clothing shops there, because there was no need for any additional shop if one included at least the amount of 100 shops in the Earth.
"Here it is!" Rose exclaimed enthusiastically.
'Once picked the dress, please spell aloud the code below the selected dress. Thanks for your patience!' she read the reminder that popped out on the desktop. She clears her voice and spell aloud the code.
In a sudden a wind carrying black particles which fly around her body in circular motion slowly wrapping her body from bottom to top, Roselyn spread her arms wide to facilitate the process and in a few seconds she was wearing a beautiful short dress. It was a v neck flared mini skirt dress. Sexy, but still sophisticated. It seemed the perfect, breath-taking dress she was looking for!
She walks out the door to see what Karen thought but as soon as she steps out Karen smiles in awe letting her deduct her approval.
"Bet he's going to propose when he sees you!" She exclaims.
Roselyn giggles at her friend's statement and checks at herself in the mirror admiring how the dress suited her, she takes a twirl and smiles seeing how the skirt swayed and raised twirling.
