Chapter 34 : You're late!

Kofi held out the baggy grey jeans Domino made appear doubtfully, " Are you sure I should wear this? It seems ripped ". Whiskers jumped off the bed, " If you don't like it, why'd you buy it "?

Kofi shrugged, " I'm not sure but I have no intention of wearing it ". [ It would go with the occasion master, if you feel so uncomfortable you can wear stockings underneath ]

She nodded and a pair of black stockings appeared in her hand, she sighed as she mumbled to herself " Fine ". The jeans were ripped around her knees and thighs. Whiskers held up a black turtleneck to her, " Will you just get dressed ".

When Kofi put it on, it seemed a bit smaller than she expected, showing a bit of her stomach [ It's small? ] She frowned and was about to take it off when Peach yelled, " We're almost out of time Fifi ".

Whiskers jumped on her head, " You better get going ". She groaned as she ran out, " Coming ". Domino had made a pair of black sneakers appear and she hopped to the door, wearing her shoes.

She opened the door, still struggling to fit her entire foot into the second one. Whiskers had fallen off her head in her rush. When she was done putting on her shoes, she looked up and her hair seemed to frame her face as she smiled, " Hello ".

She didn't have much time to linger on it as Peach called out to her, pressing the elevator button " Hurry up Kofi. It's almost five ". She picked an annoyed Whiskers up and closed the door, " Coming ".

Mordecai was a bit dazed but the ding of the elevator snapped him out of it. He ran after them [ I'm supposed to be in that elevator ] " Wait "! He got in just as the doors were closing.

Kofi put on a long silver chain with a heart shaped pendant and calmed down, " Why are you in such a rush? It's not like we're that far behind schedule ". Peach laughed nervously, " Sorry, forced habit " [ I keep forgetting Father isn't here ]

Kofi turned to Mordecai and looked him up and down [ Why do I feel like I've seen this face before? ] " You must be our neighbor. You're cute ". Mordecai took a step back, covering his mouth as he tried not to blush [ Is she talking about me? ]

Peach laughed nervously again, drawing Kofi back " I'm so sorry about her. She's from out of town ". Kofi pouted slightly, " Did I say something wrong "?

Mordecai shook his head and the doors opened. Peach grabbed her hand, already running " We're gonna be late ". She waved at him as she was dragged along, " Bye bye cute neighbor ".

Mordecai raised his hand as if waving back, rubbed the back of his neck and smiled, " They were nice " [ It seems Jubilee will also get a few friends her age now ]

Dylan's room was in Ruby house, room 2 and he'd fallen asleep as soon as he fell on his bed. It was only when his phone rang did he realize how much time had gone by. Wiping the drool from his mouth, he saw a missed call from Chase.

It slowly came back to him and he jumped up, " I can't believe I forgot ". Since he hadn't unpacked, he threw his clothes around trying to find something to wear " What do I even wear "?

He pulled out a pair of black cargo pants and nodded, " Everything goes with black ". Rummaging through his clothes again, he found a navy blue round neck " I didn't even know I had this ".

Shaking his head, he quickly put on his clothes and found a pair of ankle boots. Picking his phone, he answered and ran out the door " I'm already on my way man. I'll just need a few minutes to catch up ".

Chase sighed as he crossed his arms and waited by the gate [ This is embarrassing ] When he got back to his room, he picked out his clothes, set his alarm for four thirty and took a nap.

Unsurprisingly, he woke up by then and got dressed. Coming from a family where they sold justice and fairness for a living, it reflected in his clothes and most of his clothes were neutral colours because of it.

He had on grey trousers, a short sleeved black V neck to match it and black sneakers. He sighed as he checked his watch, it was ten minutes past five " Or was I stood up "? He was beginning to get strange looks from the people around him and it only made him more uncomfortable.

" What was I expecting anyways "? He was about to leave when he heard running. He looked up and saw the three running from different directions and laughed to himself as he yelled out to them, " You're late dummies ".
