Perfect One

Axaelia's Pov

As soon as I got out of the hall I made my way to the cafeteria. I found Skylar and Christy sitting at one of the tables in the cafeteria, they were giggling for what I don't know.

"Hey Ax, You're late, legit 8 minutes, 29 seconds late, Where were you?"

"I uh lemme explain"

I explained to them what had happened in the hallway with Elvis and Caleb and surprisingly they weren't surprised.

"I knew Caleb would come to save you, after all, he is MY brother," Christy said

"But I don't get it Ax, why didn't you try defending yourself? " Skylar didn't know much about my days in Italy and curiously asked me

"I feared no one ever Skylar, but Elvis was dangerous, I know what he's capable of, it sort of created a fear in me, the fear from Elvis and HIS family."

Skylar knew about my half families but I never bothered telling her bout my Italian side, I thought the topic would never come up. Guess I gotta change my mind

"Girls meet me at the parking after school, I'll wait for you guys, then we can giddy-up to the mall, k?" Christy told us this so that we don't wander around searching her

"Guys my class is about to start, I gotta go, also I'm very sorry for being late. Bye"

"Bye"

I headed to the lecture hall after grabbing my books and took a seat in the back row.

"Hey, you're Axaelia right?" I turned my back to see who it was and found an unknown face

"Uh yes, and you are?"

"Helen Detra, I heard a lot about you"

"Oh well, I see"

"I see you a lot of time hanging out with the Leroy's, Are you their relative"

Oh shit, I can't be telling anyone I'm their daughter, Helen looks like a gossip person, what do I tell her now?

"Well I… you know, The Leroy's, have been helping me out lately"

"Oh, anyways nice meeting you"

It's so weird that people actually notice such tiny stuff.

~…~

Finally, the school was over, so I headed towards the campus parking and waited near Christy's car. After a few minutes, Christy and Skylar arrived together.

"Let's go girls" – Christy

We zoomed in on the city and reached the mall at the speed of light.

It was quite a fun ride, we were vibing over Tyler, the creator's songs. Like uh voila!

We got down of the car and grabbed our handbags, I made sure not to forget my purse and phone.

"So, let's hit the mall, Shall we?" – Skylar

"Definitely, make sure to find 'The Perfect One'" – Christy

We went to a few stores first but weren't able to find good outfits. The next store we visited had great choices of clothes, shoes, and accessories and we expected to find good ones here.

Christy tried on dresses and dresses till she found a beautiful emerald green bandage dress, she paired it with black pencil heels, diamond earrings, and a diamond necklace.

Skylar found her match at the first shot. A purple and tassel top and with pairing pants. She chose golden pumps and a set of simple jewelry.

I was the only one left to choose

I tried on a black A-line dress first, but according to Christy it made my butt look smaller, so it was a no-no from her as-well-as Skylar.

Then I tried a skirt blouse set that was yellow, but again Christy had her opinion saying, that it stuck to me like it was part of my skin which made it look like I had jaundice.

The third dress I tried was a red and black backless sweetheart dress, it was short tight-fitting, and had net-y material flared over it from the waist, it made me look like a seductive succubus. When I came out from the trial room, I saw Christy and Skylar's jaw drop

"Fuck, hell yeah, you're buying this no matter what" – Christy

"Omg!! Ax tell me you are satisfied with it, girl you look sexy as hell" – Skylar

"Since you both agree to it, I'll buy it"

When I was at the counter purchasing it, the lady at the counter told me the dress came with black matching heels, a black choker with a red crystal, and long red and black glass earrings. And believe me, they looked perfect together. In addition, I got a red bracelet to go with the attire.

It literally felt like Valentine's Day arrived early.

"I can't wait to attend the party with you guys, this would be the first party that I won't feel out of place, we could party all night, get drunk, and...Ahhh Skylar" Christy was blabbering just when Skylar hit her arm to stop her

"Thank you, Christy, for getting us shopping, I love you bitch" – Skylar

"I love you too, bye guys see you later" – Christy

Christy dropped us at our places. Well, I was dropped at Caleb's since I was locked out of my apartment.

I walked up to the door and rang the bell

"Hey, you're home, come in" Caleb opened the door for me saying this

"Thanks, Caleb"

"You look tired, did you find an outfit?"

"Yes I did, Is there any orange juice left?"

"Yeah, I refilled the whole fridge."

I went towards the fridge and found it stacked with stuff, I picked a bottle of juice, poured it in a cup, and drank it all.

Caleb got a call and once he finished talking, proceeded toward me.

"The key guy said your apartment was unlocked"

"Really, wow it was early, does that mean I can shift back, yay"

I couldn't wait to head back home

Caleb raked his hand in his hair and nervously said, "I wish you stayed longer"

I felt a little flush on my cheeks when he said that.

"Do you want to go out for dinner, Axaelia?"

"Dinner? Well, I'm fatigued though, how bout we order out, my treat, no arguments."

He grinned a little and nodded in agreement.
