Kat's here! (You know the usual!)

Clairidela's P.O.V.

Leigh's store was just... I don't know how to explain it well enough. It was just awesome! Bathing suits, (remind me to buy some of those later), dresses, skirts, shirts, hats, everything!

I spent a good four hours just in the dressing room trying on clothes after clothes after clothes after clothes… I planned to spend my whole day in there until I heard a cheery "Hello!" come from the front of the shop.

I peeked out of the door just in time to see a girl reach up to give Leigh a kiss. I wondered if that was Rosalya…

Turning his head Leigh caught me peeking and said "Clairidela meet Rosalya!"

Shyly I stepped out of the dressing room with my arms crossed wishing I had put something on less noticeable.

"Hi I'm Clairidela." I said

Rosalya looked me up and down and said "Well she certainly does have a sense of style. Your clothes are so cute! You'll just have to tell me where you get them. Let me guess… Leigh's or someplace down where you used to live?"

I was lost in the rush of the stream of words exiting from her mouth. I guessed I had a confused face on, but it wasn't easy trying to follow that train of thought.

"Rosalya, I think Clairidela is a bit lost, maybe you should hang out more soon?" Leigh said seeming to understand my problem.

"Sure!" Rosalya said

"I bet I'm in your school! Sweet Amoris right?" she added

"Uhmm… yeah. I was just doing some shopping for my first day tomorrow." I said

"Great! I'll help you!" She said eager to find something new to focus on.

"Thanks…" I said and walked back over to the dressing room.

As I entered the room Rosalya immediately saw the huge pile of clothes on the bench and said "tsk tsk… I know Leigh's clothes are just fab, and not just because he is my boyfriend, but you're never going to be able to even wear all of this!"

She picked through the clothes and shaking her head at some she tossed to the side. After just five minute the pile was considerably smaller and she picked up a sweater. "It gets really cold if you know what I mean. You'll need comfortable clothes to get through the school day and fashionable ones to get noticed. Ok so a gold sweater complements you… and some wedge suede sneakers… ripped jeans… beanie hat… and a nice royal blue jacket..!"

I took the clothes out of her hands and tried them on. Surprisingly they complimented my tall figure nicely and accented my paleness. I seriously needed to get a tan when summer came around.

"Wow... they're just perfect Rosalya!"

"Just call me Lya if you want… and because I'm feeling nice Rosy!"

It was hard to imagine her not being nice, but I guess everyone has they're alternate personalities.

"Call me CB."

"I can already tell we're going to be great friends!"

"Maybe a little teasing Lysander with his girlfriendless life!" I added happy to be making friends so fast. It's not like I don't make friends or am mean, I just don't communicate with a lot of people. I already figured that Lysander was the type not to have a girlfriend because he was so silent, but I bet we could change that.

"I got to go! See you around school!" Rosalya said quickly leaving, but not without giving Lysander another peck on the lips. I could tell they were a couple made in heaven, I just wish I could find a guy like that.

I walked out of the dressing room with the stack Lya had sorted out for me. When I tried to pay for it Leigh insisted "No, I'm your family now and this is a little welcome present."

"You didn't have to do that…"I said looking down at my feet. I hated when people pitied me, I could do just fine myself, but I guess I didn't want to upset my new 'brother' and I accepted.

~.~ The next morning ~.~

I woke up and stretched. The clock said five thirty in large red blinking LED's. I was exhausted but didn't want to be late for my first day. I looked around, most of the moving boxes were unpacked because of my effort to stay up late and get the job done last night. I yawned and got out of bed shuffling to the shower in my bedroom. Thank God it had a connected bathroom. It would have been awkward living with two teenage boys and sharing a bathroom. The house was large enough to fit all three of us and three more.

Turning on the warm water the steam filled the bathroom and fogged the windows. The water was bliss and the perfect day to start the school year. Stepping out and grabbing my towel, I quickly ran across the cold tile and onto the plush carpet of my bedroom floor. After putting on the outfit Lya had so graciously picked out for me I decided to add my emerald earrings and added a bright red scarf. Looking in the mirror I decided that mascara would do since I already had a natural blush and clear skin.

Skipping downstairs with my shoes in hand I grabbed a pop-tart and popped it in the toaster.

"Yum…" I said to myself rather ungratefully.

I looked in the fridge to see if there was anything better to eat, but there was only molded cheese and one egg. I would have to do with an egg a day keeps the doctor away! I took out the egg and rummaged around a cabinet, careful not to make a lot of noise. Cracking the egg on the skillet and turning on the burner I stooped down and put on my shoes. Standing up again and scrambling the eggs the best I could I tossed them onto a plate I had found in the dish washer. I wasn't born to cook so don't blame me if the meal didn't look appetizing. Grabbing the pop-tart and cursing under my breath I dropped it on my plate. Remind me not do grab hot things again.

Since I was ten I was taught to be responsible and clean so I washed the pan and put it to dry. Looking around the now clean kitchen I sat down and enjoyed my meal. I was an early morning person and loved to watch the sun rise just like I did in Charlotte every day when my mom and dad were alive. I grabbed my cute cupcake messenger bag which I had packed the night before I stepped outside onto the patio. Sitting in a lawn chair I ate the remains of my pop-tart and stared at the sun. Content with how my day was starting out I went inside and grabbed a thermos. I hoped it wasn't Leigh's or Lysander's. I quickly poured some coffee from the machine into it and added a little milk. I wasn't nice without my coffee.

A voice came from behind me in the direction of the stairs. Lysander was standing there dressed in a Victorian suit, which I guessed was his regular outfit.

"I see you've made yourself comfortable."

"Yes, thank you!" I replied cheerily.

"I wasn't sure if you had a car or I should just walk to school or do you have a car?" I asked hoping it was the latter. Even with my long limbs I wasn't a walker, just running. Weird right?

"We have a car. If you'll just wait a minute I can drive you." I sighed in relief.

I would have to see about getting a car with the money my dad had left me, but for now I was focusing on having the perfect first day of school. If that was even possible… I thought.
