Chapter 3- The Date: Tigress

It was a Sunday, it was THE Sunday, the day of their date. Tigress was on her room, she woke up a little late, since she stood up all night, too excited for the date to actually go to sleep, that is the exact reason she woke up late. She was really excited, she felt butterflies on her stomach. She choose her clothes, she didn´t wanted to dress up too fancy, but not too casual either. She actually didn´t know what to wear, she was going through her whole closet and nothing actually stood up for her. She searched one more time and couldn´t find anything. (I wonder why this happens to girls ONLY on big or special occasions). She kept going through her clothes for about 5 minutes. After she successfully failed to find something, she laid down on her bed, imagining what she wanted to wear.

She remembered this one shirt she saw at a store, she smiled at her own imagination of she would look in it. She stood up and went to take a quick shower, checking the clock to make sure she had enough time to go buy the t-shirt and come back and have a quick breakfast before Po got there to pick her up.

Huh, it´s 11am, and he said he was going to pick me up at 2, I have enough time to go do everything.

She then took some of her dad´s money and part of hers, because she actually didn´t get much allowance, but she was allowed to take some of her dad´s money, of course no bigger than 30 dollars. She then started to hurry down the stairs. She went to the mall, and surprisingly, there were already some people there, not a lot, but there were still there.

She could have stayed here and walk around and see some shops, but she had only one goal set in her mind, to buy that shirt, that is, if it was still there. She walked around, trying to remember the name of the shop, which was a major set-back. She started to walk around, trying to remember where the store was, but then she bumped into a person. She looked up to apologize, but when she did, her eyes widen. It was Nyuk.

"Um, Hi. Sorry about that" She muttered, timidly, not wanting other people to see both of them together. Nyuk was staring into her eyes, with a smile, glad that she bumped into him.

"Don´t worry about it" He said warmly. They both stood there awkwardly, Tigress was still in a hurry and she sense Nyuk looking at her, which made her quite uncomfortable. She started to nod, like she did when she didn´t know what to say. She finally broke the silence,

"So, I would love to stay and chat, but I´m kind of in a hurry" She said, the nicest way possible, Tigress stepped aside, and started to speed-walk like she was doing moments before she bumped into him. Once, she was alone again, she sighed. But then she heard her name being called by….him.

She was getting a little bit annoyed. It wasn´t the kind of annoy that you hate that person, but is like you are with someone you think will attract problems, and it doesn´t matter what you do, they keep going back to you. She pretend she didn´t hear and kept walking.

"Hey Tigress" Nyuck said, now catching up with her. She kept walking, not making a big deal of his presence. Nyuck ignore the fact that Tigress kept walking. He kept walking alongside her, much to her dismay (HA! That is something I always wanted to say!).

"So where are you going?" He asked her. Tigress was thinking in her mind if she should answer him, after all he seemed nice and he certainly was trying to be nice to her, so she replied,

"I am going to buy this shirt".

"Cool, mind if I tag along?" Nyuck said in a friendly tone. Tigress´s mind and heart was saying YES! I do mind, now run along! But she was thinking that she would sound really mean. She sighed and turned to him,

"Umm, I am not trying to be mean or anything, but I actually have to hurry, I just came because I really needed this shirt for an special occasion, and I am leaving in less than 5 minutes" She said calmly, trying to make him understand it was not his fault. He frowned a little and then replaced it with a small smile.

"It´s ok, I don´t think you are being mean, you were just being honest, I like that you are honest" Nyuk said sigh, just what I needed, Tigress thought to herself. "So anyway, I will leave you to buy your shirt, see you at school" Then he started heading the opposite direction, waving good-bye to Tigress. She waved back and continued to pace along, until she got to the store she was searching for. Maybe she didn´t remember the name, but she remembered the location.

She got inside and started to search for the shirt, she went all around, until she found it. She looked at it, it was exactly like she remembered it. It was a light shirt with red sleeves that went to her elbows, the rest of it was red and it had orange/gold flowers coming up from one corner. She wasn´t the type of girl that liked this kind of stuff, but somehow this bought her attention.

She took it and went over to the cashier, she took out the money and set it on the counter. After a couple of seconds, she now had her shirt. She started to walk to her house. She checked her watch again, 12:02. She saw this and started to hurry. Once she got to the stairs she was panting. But she knew she would have to run. She took one deep breath and imagined that it was part of her training. This worked pretty well, she made her way to the top in less than one minute.

Once she was there, she immediately went to her room and took her new shirt. She opened her closet and took out a fresh pair of jeans and some brown boots. She went to take another quick shower and came back. She put on her new shirt and her jeans. She tied her boots and lastly went to the mirror. She looked good.

She went to get some light breakfast. She started eating. She felt a little bit empty, she looked around the kitchen and it all seemed alone. She didn´t know where her dad was, he was probably meditating like he did most of the times. She sighed and started to think about other things, not wanting to get sad.

After that, she went and brushed her teeth and then her hair. She smiled at her reflection and was satisfied with the results. She checked her wrist, 1:14.

She still had some time left before Po would come to pick her up. She looked into the mirror again, she saw her hair, down all the way to her shoulders as always. She started imagining herself with another hairdo.

Maybe I can try making a braid, after all this IS a special thing and I still have a couple of minutes. She thought. She went over to her drawer and took out some hair bands. She went to get her lap-top and just like last time, she googled images for braids. Tons of images filled the screen. She was reading a blog on how to braid her hair, at first it seemed simple enough, but then the image kept getting more complicated, up to the point where she couldn´t even understand how it was possible. She started braiding her hair, she was doing ok at first, but at the end, her hair was a tangled mess. She tried and tried.

"Ugghh! This is impossible!" She yelled at the air. She was getting angry now. She took one deep breath, and brushed her hair calmly. She remember how Po always told her that she should remain calm and try to do it more patiently, which was something she never really practiced. But this time, she was willing to do it, for Po. She started to close her eyes and touch her hair, she took a hair band, and then put it in her wrist. She divided her hair into 3 and started to put one over the other, then under then across, and after a couple of minutes, she opened her eyes, and she was holding a side braid, it wasn´t perfect, but it was something. She smiled and took the hair tie and tied the braid. She gazed into the mirror and saw herself with a braid, something she would have never imagined. She heard someone knock in her door,

Gosh! It´s 2 already! She hurried and took a red jacket from her closet and then ran to the door excited to find out what Po had planned.

HA! Ok, I hope you like this chapter, the next chapter is going to be before the date, but now with Po. Anyway, I finished my essays! Now I just have to work for my project and study really hard for French, which unfortunaly, I am struggling with. But don´t worry, I am going to update soon and do my best for the next chapters! Oh and Happy Halloween and, Day of the Dead (which I know is tomorrow, but still). And before I forget, right now is raining a lot where I live, so my WiFi is not working really well, so if I don´t update soon, just now that that is the reason, hopefully it won´t happen though.

Consider this my treat for you :)
