Amu's POV
It was already August 4, so I decided to start shopping for my 'boy' clothes. I told my family I was going to Yaya's so they wouldn't look for me in stores. I took a bus to town and called Yaya.
"Hey Yaya, if my parents call and ask for me tell them I'm in the bathroom or call me to make a three way." I knew Yaya would ask why so I sighed and didn't hang up.
"Why and what are you really doing?" She sounded suspicious.
I admitted," I'm shopping for boy clothes, because I have to go to an all boys' college if I want to get an education. I'm going to wrap gauze around my chest and cut my hair." I sort of rushed the words, but Yaya squealed with excitement. Yaya advised me," Make sure your boy clothes aren't too tasteful, but make yourself a sexy guy." I blushed.
"Yaya! What would be the point? I'm not going to flirt with girls and guys will think I'm a guy!"
Yaya shook her head," You must flirt with girls or else guys will think your gay or a girl!" She had a point so I agreed.
I also told her that Rima already knew and hung up. I called Rima so she could help me pick out clothes that made me look sexy as a guy. It would be awkward, but worth it.
Rima met me at the boy's section of the shopping expo. Our excuse if anyone asked was that we were shopping for our boyfriends. I gathered at least a week's supply of guy's clothes that made me look hot, even as a guy. Rima and I still had tons of more outfits to buy for me. We worked hard until Rima saw a purse she liked across the aisle in the girls' section. She went to admire it while I continued to look.
A boy with midnight blue hair that was super sexy came up to me.
"You with the pink hair." I knew it was me because I'm probably the only one in the world that's got natural pink hair. I looked at him and nearly fainted. I blushed as he came towards me smirking.
"Why are you in the guy's section?" He looked me up and down, making me blush more.
"I'm shopping for my brother, Amu. Hi my name's Ami." I stuck out my hand. He shook it and got close to my face.
"What does Amu look like? If he looks like you at all he must be quite handsome." I almost giggled.
"Actually, he looks exactly like me except his hair is short. By the way you never told me your name." He smirked wider.
"Ikuto, I'm transferring to a different college this year, so I'll probably never see you again." I blinked.
"You're in college?" He looked so young.
He chuckled, "Yes. My second year. What about you what grade are you in little kid?" He thought I was a kid! I was short and stuff but honestly, he must be an idiot.
I yelled at him," I'm going into college this year, Ikuto!" I stuck my tongue out at him. Ikuto looked completely surprised. I crossed my arms and pouted.
After Ikuto got out of shock he laughed," You're pretty cute." I blushed, but secretly smile. We said bye to each other and Rima came out from behind a clothing rack.
"He was cute! Did you get his number? Cause he was totally and utterly into you!" I blushed and shook my head. Rima groaned at my unsuccessful flirt.
"I won't ever see him again so what does it matter?" W finished another two hours of shopping for clothes when my cell rang. It was Yaya. I picked up immediately.
"Hey momma, papa."
"Just checking up on you. Be home for dinner bye." They hung up, but I stayed on the line.
"Amu, make sure you are! Call you later." With that she hung up. The cashier rang the up clothes on the cash register.
I headed home with Rima because it was four-fifty. Rima's spending the night so she can help me practice flirting with girls. Now that is awkward.
After dinner, Rima played the girl as I played the boy. Rima gave me tons of advice on how to flirt with girls, but not give them the wrong ideas. We practice for an hour and a half, and then Rima quizzed me.
Rima pulled out five bottles of nail polish," Now for some real sleepover stuff. What colors?" I smiled and picked out three. Pink, blue, and black. Rima, being the nail artist she is, painted zebra patterns. Blue and black, then pink and black and ECT.
"Gosh, I didn't know you were this good!" Rima thanked me for the complement.
She pointed at me," Make sure that's off before you go to college." I rolled my eyes.
"I know." I said in a weird voice.
Normally, I would have painted Rima's nails but she refuses because I'm clumsy. I honestly don't blame her.
While she painted comic book things like BOOM! and POW! on her nails, I started to fill out fake medical and school records. I think I might have a very eventful college life. I started to come up with way to convince them I'm not a girl just in case someone sees something. I already have the thing about being Ami. I also thought up scenarios on if a guy walks in with a towel around his waist. I have plenty things to worry, huh?
The façade would be difficult but I planned to make it work! I mean I didn't make all of these August preparations for no reason and give up getting an education!
I sighed, sixteen days left.
