Edward
I couldn't understand what had happened earlier. Alphonse and Winry had seemed pissed, and Rose was livid. Alphonse had never once spoken out against me like that! I mean sure he'd gotten mad and said things before, but never like that. It wasn't really what he said so much as how he said it. Everyone knew Winry Rockbell didn't need a champion, she is easily the toughest girl I've ever met; but he'd jumped on me for me!?
After they walked off Rose insisted of shopping some more, which was not my favorite thing but useally resulted in making out somewhere so I dealt with it. "Come on Eddie you need a new look!" She said excitedly. I didn't really like the sound of this idea, I like my cloths. I always wear a black muscles shirt with a red jacket and black pants. And my hair was always pulled up in a ponytail or tied in a braid.
Yeah I have long hair, I like it that way makes me feel like a bad ass! And I wear those some cloths because they always match and Winry said they looked good on me. Over the next couple of hours Rose updated my wardrobe while draining a small yet hefty amount from my bank account. My parents had been rich and left me and Alphonse a huge fortune, of course we could only use so much a month. Luckily I had invested almost each and every penny from my siphon each month for a long time so I had a large fortune outside of the substantial wealth I shared with my brother.
That's not to say buying a whole new wardrobe didn't drain it considerably, add it onto everything I'd spent on Rose and you're looking at some very large numbers. But if Rose was happy and I was still in with her, the hottest girl in school, I could care less. I know know how could I sell myself for popularity? To answer that I did it quiet easily.
I've always wanted to be the coolest guy, you know the top dog, the one giving orders. But I'm not some big burly guy so most the time I get pushed around and called short. I AM NOT SHORT! AND NOT DRINKING MILK MAKES NO DIFFERENCE! I'd always like Rose from afar so when she asked me to go out with her I was on it like Alphonse to apple pie.
I hadn't planned on it effecting everyone else I hung out with. First Winry had stopped hanging with me, understandable since she always seemed to pick fights with Rose. But then Alphonse stopped too, at first I thought it was because he was giving me some space to be with my girl, but now I think its because he's jealous.
Yeah Alphonse is jealous because I'm in with the cool kids and he's stuck in no mans land. Sad part is if he just chilled out and stopped picking fights I would pull into the crowd with me. Whatever he'll just have to find his way up on his own.
Once we finished blowing money on cloths that would only end up being trashed one day, I took Rose home. I ate dinner with her family, her dad says I seem like a nice guy so I'm welcome to eat over anytime. Then I made my way to Teachers house. See Alphonse and I have this teacher, who's been our teacher our whole life basically. She kind of moved up in grades with us, claiming she wanted to keep an eye on us. I think she just likes to be close cause she thinks of us as her kids.
Every couple of days I stopped over at her place to say hi and see if she had anything new for me and Alphonse to read. I knocked on the door and Mr. Curtis appeared with a smile. 'Edward!' He said shaking my hand and pulling me in. I stepped in and ducked instantly knowing all to well teacher would be aiming to get me. She flew overhead and smiled. "good you're finally learning something."
For the next hour I sat and talked with them, they said Alphonse had stopped by the day before and sat with them for a while. They asked why we hadn't come together and I explained how I had been busy with my girlfriend. Teacher, Izumi's her real name we just call her teacher, didn't look happy but didn't say anything. After that I went home, and when I got there the only person who would talk to me was Pinoka; and that was to yell at me for being late.
I put all my new cloths away and threw myself onto the bed with a sigh. I smiled as I started to go to sleep. Today had been pretty freaking awesome! I'd spent the day with my girl, eaten so much pizza I could have vomited and then her dad had offered me a part time job at his hardware store. Things couldn't get much better than that!
