Disconnected.

Chapter 5.

This is really a bad idea.

My mom, who is currently pushing me to every other store right now, is forcing me to wear clothes that are not really my taste.

When I said that I needed a makeover, what I meant was to just change the way I look, like you know, pluck my eyebrows or something, and not the way that I wear my clothes.

My friends know that I am not the dress kind of person and that I hate it when I wear skirts or whatever. I just hate it. I just can't move freely on my own will. It gives me the limitation to do the things that I wanted to do, in general.

"Here, try this on!" My mom gave me this peach-colored dress and I don't know if this can really suit me, considering that I don't really like this kind of color.

"Mom!" I tried to argue with her but she just widens her eyes on me.

"Alexandra! Just try this on, try me, this will look good on you!" She smiled at me and I know that smile is really dangerous because considering how rich she is, she can buy several items of clothing in just one store alone.

"Mom, I don't really like this kind of color. Can I try something dark? Especially the black ones. Those are my kind of colors."

"No, you will try this one." She said, "And I know that this will look good on you, it is just you are not used to this kind of colors that's why you are afraid to try this."

I am really tired and I just really wanted to buy a new phone, which is really the reason why we are here, right? But because of Lisa, who thankfully, stomped down my self-esteem and suddenly had the urge to tell my mom that I needed a makeover, then here we are, at a*****e featuring clothes that are not really my type.

I pushed my eye glasses on my nose bridge, "Okay, we need to get you a new set of contact lenses, asap. You just can't keep on pushing your eye glasses like that."

"Mom, we both know that I cannot wear eye contacts because I am very much prone to stye, right?"

"Oh..." She nodded, "Yeah, definitely! But since we are here then we need to get new glasses for you and even new lenses. I am sure that they have this kind of lenses that can be thin even though the eye grade is high, right?"

I don't know what she is talking about, to be honest.

"I don't know mom, but if they have that then yes, I can definitely get that."

My mom clapped in her delight. It is like a dream come true to her to have the chance to fix the way I wear things or even my style. Even though I am still against wearing dresses. I just don't really like it.

"Okay then, you should try these on too!"

I was surprised that she managed to get 15 dresses again, while we were just talking!

"Mom, we were just talking, how can you get these?"

"Saleslady, my dear. I already asked them to get dresses that they think might suit you."

I am definitely defeated. I have no choice but to just try these on.

"Okay, I will try these on but please mom, can we just go after these and but my phone because I needed to review some of my notes."

We all know that we won't be reviewing after a school's night, right? Of course, I am just really excited to go home, rest, eat some food again and I don't know, maybe give Julian a call? Oh god, what am I even thinking? Why would I even call him?

Maybe because I like him? That easily! Oh no, he might be another Terence so it is a big no no to fall in love that easily.

"Are you talking to your self, dear?" My mom asked, "Why are you speaking about falling in love, are you falling in love right now?" She smiled at me.

Oh no, did I really said those words out loud?

"And who is Julian? Is he a new guy at school? Is he hot? Is he older?"

I just close the door in the dressing room and started trying on the dresses, so just my mom can stop talking.

"I am trying the dresses now mom!" I shouted from the inside of the dressing room.

"That is great because after that you are going to tell me more about that Julian guy!"

And she laughed, oh no. This is really a big trouble.

*****

After trying the clothes, my mom ended up buying all of them even though I know that I might now be able to wear them all.

I pulled her to the nearest phone store so she can buy me a new phone.

"Mom, let's go, please. Just buy me the basic phone and.."

"No, we're going to get the latest one."

Damn, sometimes it is really a blessing to be rich.

"Okay, sure." I just shrugged.

I was scanning the shelves when I saw someone, and I think he is also going to buy a new phone.

"Justin.." I murmured and my mom heard me.

"What?"

"Oh no mom, it's just.."

"Oh, are you talking about that handsome guy? Well, he is really good-looking. Is he your classmate or..?"

"No, mom. He is a schoolmate and.."

My mom smiled at me and I know the worst thing is going to happen.

"Hi, Justin!" My mom called.

I don't know why, but I ran out of the store. Not because of Justin, but because he is with Lisa.

I am sure that Lisa will fry me up again.
