Tossing all my clothes into the dirt clothes hamper, I walked into the bathroom and took a quick shower.
When I got out, I slid into a pair of black-cropped baggy sweat-pants, and a loose black shirt that said, 'And In that Moment We Were Together' and went to straiten my hair.
Deciding that I looked good enough for a simple get together I walked back out into the room just as my phone's screen lit up with a message from Hailey asking if I was still going to hang out.
Shooting a quick "yes" back I shuffled my feet over to the black French doors that hid a good portion of my clothes form prying eyes. Opening the doors a strait line of different colors greeted my eyes before I started looking through for the specific clothes that I wanted to wear.
Pulling the blue long sleeved shirt I had been looking for, over my head I started flipping through my jean pile tell I found a pair of dark blue skinny jeans. Grabbed a cream-colored infinity scarf from the shelf above my jean pile and I was able to shut my closet door. Walking out of the room I slipped on a pair of tribal pattern boots from next to my bed and a simple pair of dangling gold earrings before leaving for the Sweet Shoppe.
Opening the doors to Orchard, a crisp and cool breeze blew past and November air filled my lungs. Quickly shutting the doors so no unneeded amounts of cold air were allowed into the warm and cozy dorm, I started on my way to the Sweet Shoppe.
Passing people as I went was easy, as they were all walking in duos and chatting among themselves hardly disturbing the peace. Though as I got closer to the Shoppe I could hear the noise getting a little louder because of the constant doors opening and shutting.
Walking inside nice as the cold air was replaced by warm air and the scent of nature with the scent of chocolate and coffee.
Looking around for Hailey I saw her sitting at a round table with only two seats, her taking up on of them. Walking over to her I felt my facial expression lift from that of a normal small smile to a large and happy smile.
Noticing my approach Hailey set her phone down and stood up to hug me. Getting closer I was able to see her nice black skinny jeans, and tall brown boots, along with her cute light blue denim shirt that had be blocked from view by the menu. Like me she had a nice smile on her face and simple make-up.
Finally reaching her and saying a quick hello before returning the hug we settled down into the seats.
"OK, so I got her like 10 minutes ago, because my gymnastics meets ended sooner then I had expects, and ordered a bunch of treats and two hot chocolates," Hailey quickly explained.
Laughing at how quickly she covered that I nodded my head in approval and asked, "What did you order?"
"Well let's see…" Pausing she held up her hand and started listing, "Chocolate chips cookies, fudge brownies, fudge, a triple layered chocolate and vanilla cake, and a few other things." Hailey finished saying as she sheepishly rubbed the back of her neck.
Laughing at the amount she had gotten I couldn't help but feel at ease around this sugar lover, and soon we both settled into a conversation of what our lives in Washington had been like and the schools we had attended before Canterwood. Only stopping to eat the sweets that were brought to our table.
Soon about an hour had slipped by and we were both going on about Washington and what we wanted to do while we were attending Canterwood when a tall blonde walked over to us with two pieces of paper in her hands.
Standing next to the table she gave both Hailey and I a critical and calculating look before nodding to herself and saying, "Hi there! My name is Emily and I am a Junior this year here at Canterwood1 I am also the vice-President of the student body and I was wondering if you two would like to join the fashion show that will be hosted in April?"
By the time Emily had finished talking she had handed us the sheets of paper she had been holding.
Before continuing, "This fashion show is new the Canterwood and we would like it to go off with our a hitch, so all members of the student body were allowed to chose two people to participate in the event. Luckily for me I was able to find the two of you!"
At this part questions started to form in my head but before I could ask them she went on to say," If you participate you will get a featured spot in the yearbook, and 'Welcome to Canterwood' hand out students get before they get accepted or think of coming here, along with community serves hours, and extra credit in an class chosen."
When she finished explaining all this Hailey's eyes were gleaming and happiness was so defined by her facial expressions it was hard to say no.
"What's the catch?" I asked looking away form Hailey in order to figure things out in my head.
Seeming to anticipate this question Emily quickly replied with a warm smile, "There is no catch. All you tow have to do is come to the meetings and practices with your partner, who will be picked by the student body, and also come to the fittings. At the end of the show there will be a photographer there to take photos of the group and individuals as well. If it turns out you really like your photo you are allowed to us it as your school photo that will also be put in the year book."
"Are we allowed to think about it?" Hailey asked after she comes back from dream world.
"Yes you are allowed to think about it all you want, and if it turns out that you really want to participate and collect the benefits then you show up at the meeting being held next Friday," Emily finished explaining.
Looking back to Hailey from Emily we shared a look that clearly stated that we were both still not seeing everything on the same level, but we brock the staring match when Emily offered us her 'good-bye's and hopeful 'see you there's. Leaving the two of us to all our unfinished sweats and a thick piece of paper with they big heading of 'CANTERWOOD CREST FASHION SHOW MODDLE SLOTS AVALIBLE', in golden cursive.
After skimming over her paper Hailey looked up at me and smiled before saying, "This sounds like so much fun!"
Woohoo! Look at that I was finally able to post this!
