One Week Later:
Maryse had made sure Jose had everything she needed to design her room. Jose had stuck blue wallpaper with yellow sunflowers on the walls, throwing a fluffy lavender rug over the mahogany floors. She had framed the bay window on the left side of the room with bookshelves, each displaying classics that she had accumulated. On the the right side of her room was the entrance to her wardrobe and bathroom. Her bed was situated in the very middle of the room, pushed up against the back wall. The headboard looked my a flattened out log, complete with gnarled holes but still miraculously smooth. She had thrown a baby-pink duvet and a woollen beige blanket over the mattress. Several lime-coloured pillows were piled against the headboard. A rainbow striped door led to Jose's wardrobe. Inside, comic book wallpaper covered the area, and ice-lamps were twinkling from the ceiling. Crammed into the tiny space were shelves upon shelves of clothing and shoes, each sorted into order of use. Back into the bedroom, a coral door led into the bathroom, gold stripes lining it horizontally. Inside, everything was shining white except for the toilet, shower, vanity set and sink, which was covered in lacquered Polaroid shots photographed by Josephine. Jose was kind of staggered about how quickly it took to complete her bedroom. And how quickly it took to make herself feel at home.
Izzy thought Jose was adorable. The girl was either hardcore training, taking photos on her Polaroid or had her nose stuck in a book. She was now doing the latter, The Great Gatsby's cover shimmering under the light. She looked so absorbed, that she didn't see Iz until she was right in front of her.
"Hey Josey." Isabelle exclaimed excitedly.
"Oh, hey Izzy"
"I was wondering if you wanted to do something with me, Jace, Clary and Simon."
A confused look passed Jose's face. "Who's Simon?" She asked.
"Oh my God! You haven't met Simon yet! Oh god, I'm arranging it now."
"So I'm guessing I should get dressed?" Jose asked, looking down at her panda onesie.
"Yeah, I think you should."
What do you wear to a date that you haven't got a date for? Seriously, Jose was the only one without a boyfriend for this mysterious outing. She sighed and pull out a white long-sleeved, blue overalls with black polka-dots that ended in shorts, black tights and red Docs. She let her long hair fall loose but put on a black bowlers hat.
That'd be fine, right?
