25: Preparing

That mom had called and said that they will be staying for a few days there and since school was gonna start in less than a month, she told them to take me, Ange and Nysa shopping since we are in the same year class (Ange was gonna stay with us for better education and Nysa is a transfer).

Hearing this we were happy. I told Nishan and Tanmoy to prepare the car and security as we were gonna go shopping after food.

Hardin suddenly asked "Can I come?" to which I replied "but Hardin-" and before I could complete my sentence Hardin interrupted me and said " Please, I won't be a bother and even I need to get some stuff. I will be behind with Victor ".

Everyone looked at Victor and he said "Hey, when did I say I was gonna come?" to which Hardin pleaded to Victor and after everyone excluding me started pleading. Victor looks at Hardin then at me and then at Nysa and finally agreed and said " Fine, anyway even I need some stuff but you will have to tell mom since you know I'm not allowed to go anywhere(grounded).

Everyone went to their rooms to get ready since it was almost 12pm. I called Tanmoy who was busy outside, he ran and came inside while almost tripping near the entrance. I told him to get extra help for Hardin. He soon left in a hurry to prepare everything. I called Pliny on Nysa's phone to tell that Hardin and Victor were gonna come with me shopping for some school stuff. She told me to take care of ourselves.

I went back to my room to make a list of stuff needed. I still needed things for my diary and wanted to decorate my room a little more to make it according to my aesthetic. I took out a small pamphlet like book out of the bookshelf which I had got when I had gone for shopping with mom.

I called out to one of the guards on the other end of the hall to borrow a pen from him since Tanmoy and Nishan were already busy. Surprisingly he entered my room and from above my shelf he handed me a pen stand which had a single pen in it and proceeded to tell me that he and the other guards had decorated the room but had forgotten the pen stand there. I thanked him and took the pen from the pen stand.

Oh and did I forget to mention I have my own walk in closet as big as the Kardashians, although it's mostly empty since mom didn't know my style and stuff so other than my pink dress and some clothes from Ange's place, some few other clothes my brothers and dad gifted me, it was mostly empty....It looked like a ball room with no balls.

It was almost 12:45 and since we were gonna go shopping I had requested the chef to serve the lunch at 1:45pm so I took a quick wash in the washroom. I went in my closet and wore the blouse dad had gifted me, it was baby pink with a cute one sided one-shoulder and my basic mom jeans. I paired it up with my high no-heel platforms. I applied some light makeup which was basically so light that it was as if I didn't wear any (Mom had taught me).

I went down for lunch as it was already 1:45pm. Ange and Nysa were wearing twinning shorts and basic white tees which were then paired up with high ankle shoes and boots respectively.

Hardin was looking at me the whole way down the stairs. Victor looked at me and then at the girls and said "Jesus, are we going for shopping or for a fashion show?". Hardin pinched him and said "Guess we gotta change too".

We all started laughing as Hardin and Victor were both wearing Black and Grey shirts respectively with black torn jeans and leather jackets which were then paired with black leather shoes. I said " Jesus, Ange and Nysa we gotta keep an eye at these two so no one takes them" and everyone even Victor started laughing though Victor just cracked a smile. Sam and Samuel were also wearing black shirts with black pants and black shoes.

I looked at the 4 boys up and down and Ange, Nysa and me said together "Are we going for a funeral or something ?".

We teased each other not realizing it was already almost 2:00pm. We hurriedly had the dinner and ran in the cars waiting for us at around 2:45pm. We all went in two cars.

In the first car, two guards, Nishan as the driver and Sam next to him, Ange and Nysa went(Nysa and Ange had become like inseparable sisters in just few days) and the second car Tanmoy as the driver, Samuel next to him Hardin, Victor and me were there along with one guard.

The guard sat next to me, opposite me Hardin and next to Hardin, Victor. I silently thanked God that Victor was not near me like the last time. We all had to wear masks and caps for our own security.

We reached the mall by 3:20 as it was a 15 minutes drive from the house to the main gate and 20 minutes drive after there. I was talking to Hardin the whole way and it looked like he was really happy that I was talking to him, Victor was also talking hear and there but he was mostly silent or staring outside the window.

The mall was not crowded and it looked like it was closed so the guard told me that the mall was opened for students only on particular days. How interesting. We reached near the entrance and Tanmoy and Victor helped Hardin while I went and joined the girls. Both the batch of twins showed their school Id's and since we didn't have a Id, we had to call dad to convince the security that we were also students and after a few minutes we were allowed in. The guards had to go for a security check.

We went to get our custom made ready made uniforms from the top floor. In my previous school we just had two pairs of uniforms which was like a dress below the knees which had a red bow for girls while boys had simple red pants, white shirt and compulsorily black or brown shoes but in this school they had a short black skirt and white shirt with a black jacket like coat and the fun thing is we could wear any types of shoes and can style our hair any how.

How rich is this school? Heck how rich is everyone in this town?

Next we....
