Friday:
After school, I headed to the mall to meet up with the others. However, I only found Clawdeen right at the mall's fountain.
"Where are the others?" I asked.
She shrugged. "We were supposed to meet up here."
"Well, let's just wait then."
We decided to talk by the water fountain about my new part-time job. She was pretty cool with it, though it was a huge bummer since Frankie's bolts would electrocute anyone in the pool. It'll only be a matter of time before our school gets another field trip.
After half an hour of waiting, Clawdeen got irritated and texted the others. When she got the reply, her frown deepened.
Reasons why they aren't here:
-Lagoona had to meet Gil's parents for dinner. (This could not go well.)
-Ghoulia had to tutor Cleo over at her place. Again. (Does this happen often?)
-Draculaura and Clawd had afterschool stuff to do. (I'm curious as to what they're doing.)
-Frankie had volunteered for a community center around town with Jackson helping. (I didn't even know that there was one!)
-Holt had a gig at a nightclub. (However, he lied about his age to get it.)
-Deuce had to meet some relatives from outside town. (Poor yet lucky guy.)
-Abbey's situation was the same as Ghoulia's. She had to tutor Heath. (I'm guessing Heath and Cleo share one common trait: laziness.)
That left me and Clawdeen left. With us already at the mall, we decided to go hang out there.
First, we decided to go shopping for Clawdeen's outfits. For the casual wear, she looked pretty cute in many of the outfits. She looked absolutely stunning in swim wear, bikinis and swimsuits showed off her nice curves.
It was my turn as I had to try on some outfits. I was hesitant, but she allowed me to pick the outfits. At one point, she wolf whistled at one black and neon blue outfit I donned.
We agreed to pay for our own outfits, though I felt like I needed to be more cautious with my money. We carried our own shopping bags but I offered to carry some extras, to which she graciously accepted.
Next, we decided to eat at this bistro called Monstro Bistro. The waiters were very polite and the food was pretty darn good. The owner, whose name was Goreseppi, was an orc in his senior years. Very awesome guy. He told us a lot of stories about how he had a lot of exciting dates with his late wife. I could feel the flush underneath my mask as we insisted that we were here to dine as good friends, though I saw a small gleam in his eye.
Finally, we went to see a comedy film at the cinema. It was so hilarious that the audience was filled with loud laughter. Me and Clawdeen weren't spared from the contagiousness. After leaving the theatre, we would reenact the funniest moments of the movie.
When it was getting late, I decided to walk Clawdeen home. On the way, we discussed about Mr. Where's upcoming musical 'The Lost Nightingale'.
"From what I heard, it's going to be different compared to the previous productions."
"How so?" I asked.
"Mr. Where said that's despite the number of songs, the play is gonna have a darker atmosphere. Like it's pretty heavy stuff."
Now, I'm actually considering auditioning for 'The Lost Nightingale'. It does not sound like any wholesome production.
"You should try out." Clawdeen said.
"I don't really know..." I trailed off.
"Aw, come on. Everyone's going to try out!" she added.
"That means huge competition." I countered.
"Just pick a supporting role." she retorted. "Not many monsters go for the supporting role."
I sighed. "Fine. Only because I wanted to."
Clawdeen rolled her eyes and chuckled while I crossed my arms and grumbled.
When we got to her house, I walked her to her doorstep and we shared a friendly goodbye as I left. I turned back to see her entering her house before I left as well.
Despite it just being us in the hang out, we had a lot of fun.
A/N: And so ends another entry. Who should he interact with next? As usual.
