-Kels perspective-
BEEP BEEP BEEP
I turn over slowly to see my alarm going off. Today is Sunny and Mari’s big day, a gala is being held in their honor. Sunny originally seemed scared to do any public performances, but now it’s like playing instruments is their second nature, and an award of this stature only proves that.
I get out of bed and see that hero has already left the room, probably getting ready as well. I head over to my dresser and pick up the outfit I laid out yesterday. It’s a black suit, and black collared shirt, along with a red tie. I go into the bathroom and begin to put it on.
The suit fits me perfectly, seeing as hero and I both had them custom tailored. I finish putting the last button into place before grabbing my tie. I had looked up a couple of videos last night, but I still wasn’t completely sure how to do it. I start by hanging it over my neck and then try to recall what the person in the video did. By the time I was finished it looked more like cry for help than anything.
I hear a knock as the door, “Come in.” I call out.
Hero enters, his suit is already on, he has a black suit like mine, but a blue tie instead. “Need any help with that?” he says, gesturing to my sad excuse for a tie.
“Nah, I’m like a total expert at this!” I say back.
He stays in the room, watching me struggle to even undo it. When I go to start tiling it again, he quickly takes the tie out my hand. “I don’t think I could live with myself if I let you tie this again” he says, in a somewhat, (and concerningly) serious tone.
I reluctantly let him help me. After a couple of minutes it’s done and I look at the mirror. “Ok so maybe it’s a LITTLE better than mine…”
“Mhm” he replies, then walks out.
I spend a couple more minutes adding some finishing touches to my outfit before going downstairs to the kitchen.
My parents are already there, finishing putting breakfast on the table. I sit down to eat, breakfast is mainly filled with excited chatter about the ball this evening, and making sure hero is ok with driving us all.
——After breakfast——
I have some extra time before we leave so I go back upstairs and hop onto my bed. What should I do to pass the time? “Hm, well this is a pretty big event for Sunny, so maybe I should bring him something?” I say.
A long list of ideas flood my head, but eventually I decide on flowers. I jump up and walk over to my piggy bank. I excitedly shake it upside down, but nothing falls out. Oh right, I’m completely bankrupt. Not to mention, I think I’m still $20 in debt to Sunny for the gift we gave hero, I wonder if he still remembers that?
Suddenly I have an idea, so I run downstairs. I grab the phone off of the counter and punch in basils number.
*ringggg* *ringggg* *ringg-* he picks up.
“Hey basil!”
“Hi kel, do you need something?”
“No? Why would you ask that??”
“Why else would you be calling me…?”
“Maybe I just wanted to talk to my best pal!”
“Alright, what ever you say. Hey sorry again that I can’t come to the ball tonight, I just have to go visit my parents and the plane leaves today”
“Funny you’d mention that, I actually wanted to get some flowers for Sunny, but I think someone robbed me!”
“Robbed you?”
“Yeah! And now I literally have no money!”
“Kel if you wanted flowers you could have just asked…”
“No seriously! Someone must have broken in last night and taken it!”
“Alright kel, what ever you say.. did you have a specific flower in mind?”
“No, I was just gonna ask you- I mean the florist at the shop I was gonna go to!”
“Kel- ok um, I’ll just pick some out… can you come over later to get them or should I do that to?”
“Nope! I can have hero drive me when we go pick everyone up.”
“Alright, well I have to go finish packing now, bye Kel”
“Bye Basil! Thanks again!”
*click* the phone hangs up.
