Chapter 139

After a few more minutes of shopping, no, I wouldn't call it a few more minutes, I think I would like to say it is my ignorance that makes it seem to actually stretch out into minutes. It would have probably happened the moment after I uttered the words "silly boy" and Oakley had given me that little laugh.

I assume that everything in well in my surroundings and focus solely on the useless venture of sorrow shopping. I didn't realise that everywhere had gotten unnaturally quiet, like really really quiet. I wouldn't say it was so quiet as to call it something of an irregularity in the store, but yet the people around me had gone amazingly quiet. That was what made me know something was up.

I look to my side to see Oakley is practically shining with excitement, as she looks at something in front of her, well she looks past my head like she isn't even seeing me at all, and I find the expression orderly rude as I scrunch my mouth in discontent.

I mouth the words "what's happening?" to her, and I can actually hear something of an excited squeal escape her, as she motions franctically for me to turn my head. She's surprised that I do not.

I am also surprised that I do not on my end. It seems for some reason my heart has decided that it cannot endure the sort of occurrence that will be making Oakley so excited. The only thing that will make her so excited like this, would end up giving me headaches, and I realised I do not want to have an headache at this moment, I'd rather just continue rifling through my clothes and looking for the best one to pick.

I knot my eyebrows and continue shuffling through racks of fabric. I would touch one, and see if the texture was firm and study enough. I realise that all this I am doing is just something to distract myself from exactly what Oakley is telling me to see. All the clothes in this place are basically quality high end clothes, and I'm just wasting precious time trying to decide if anyone is good enough, or if anyone is fake.

I'm pretty sure it would be offensive to Alice if she was hearing my pulse right now, but this is what I want. I don't want to look at whatever Oakley seem so amazed at, the drama of this morning is just too much for me, from thinking my brother was in love with my best friend, to realizing that I might actually have a possibility of bumping into Eras at this place, Eras whom I had so fervently decided to avoid.

For a moment I almost decided that's what she saying or whatever she seeing isn't worth noticing. It isn't worth noticing whatever is making Oakley this excited and jittery as she simply tells me to look at what she's just trying to show me.

Then I realised something. I realise that I actually came here with my brother, and my head immediately snaps in the directions she tells me to look at. The faces I see makes me want to scream in excitement, well not the faces, as much as it is the face.
