"Hey Alex, come check this one out" Kim called while I was checking out a bracelet in a jewelry store. It was Saturday morning, I, Kim and Emma had gone for shopping just like we planned and since I felt that I needed to change my wardrobe, I had to go with. We had enough bags hanging on their arms but Kim wouldn't stop using her credit card.

My jaw dropped when I saw the price tag and I walked away from the bracelet, moving closer to where Kim was. She was also checking out a pink bracelet and I think she loved. I would have loved to the the bracelet that I like too but I just couldn't afford to spend an hundred dollar on a bracelet. I had exhausted the limit that my dad instructed me to use on his credit card.

"What do you think? Is it beautiful?" Kim asked as she tried the bracelet on, I peep at the price tag and I could see a hundred and fifty. What? I could never spend that much on a bracelet even I had not exhausted my limit on the card.

"Yea, but..."

"Then I should buy it" Kim said before I could say anything further.

"Kim, I think you've done enough shopping for today" I said.

"I know but this is going to be the last, let me go pay for the things I just got" she want to the cashier while I stayed behind. I turned around to look at the bracelet I was admiring but it wasn't there anymore. I guess someone got it already. I wanted that bracelet so bad.

I turned around to see Emma standing beside me. "Where did you go?" I asked because Emma had been away for a while now.

"I was getting something for my little brother, you got something for Jane and that knucklehead you call your brother" Emma shrugged.

"At least we shopped for someone, Kim wouldn't stop using her credit card. I think she's got enough things already" I said, worried.

"You should know by now Kim wouldn't stop until she cleans up the plate" Emma said knowing the kind of person Kim was. She was already used to spending lavishly, no matter how much she spent, her parents were never bothered or even around to complain and being an only child even made things easier for her.

"Alright, if you say so"I replied.

Kim was back with both her hands full of shopping bags and walking like she could fall any moment because of the weight of the bags she was carrying.

"I though today was for Alex" Emma said and rolled her eyes at Kim.

"Yea... I was only just getting few things, that's all" Kim batted her lashes.

"Seriously? You call this...few things?" Emma pointed at the bags Kim was carrying.

"Yea...even though I still feel like I paid more than what I bought. Things are so expensive this days" Kim said, confused.

"Maybe we should tell the lady to check again" I said.

"Oh! No worries, let's go" Kim said as she led the way, moving left and right like she was about to fall. The bags were damn to much.

"Kim...." Emma said softly as we both walked out of the store behind Kim who was still battling with the weight of the things she was carrying.

After I got home, I placed all the clothes I just bought on the bed and I checked out each one after the other. Every time I picked one up, I'd look at myself in the mirror and imagine how I would look in them.

"You really should stick to cardigans" Kent's voice said. I looked back and found him sitting comfortably on my bed like he owned the room.

"You're really bad at using the right words, so I'm not angry. I forgive you" I faked a smile and turned back to the mirror.

He scoffed. "You forgive me? You're so funny" I didn't bother to reply him, I just kept look at the mirror.

"Anyways...can I take a look at your hand?" Kent asked and I frowned at the mirror. Was he going to cut of my hand now or what?

"Why?" I turned around to look at him stretching out his hand to me.

"Just give me your hand" He insisted. I acceded by placing my right hand on his.

He held my hand in his and that moment I felt a rush in my body. I could suddenly feel myself getting lost in his dreamy blue eyes. I could suddenly remember how and why I started falling for this handsome jerk.

I wondered what he was up to. 'Maybe he had finally realized that he liked me'. Kent suddenly brought out something shiny and when I looked closely, I realized it was a bracelet. It was the bracelet that I had wanted to buy so bad at the jewelry store. My mouth opened in awe as I watch him fix the bracelet on my wrist.

"How? You bought the bracelet? How come? I asked, wondering how it was possible for Kent to buy anything since no one could see him.

"Not really" Kent replied

"Oh my God...you stole it?" I gasped. He stole a bracelet for me? Did he liked me that much? Was he watching when I was looking at the bracelet at the store? So many questions kept popping up in my head.

"Seriously that is so heart breaking but no, I didn't steal it" Kent replied.

"How come you have it?"

"I took it but it was your friend who bought it"

"Who?" And what did he mean by my friend. None of my friends could see him.

"The one that almost bought everything at the store and still thinks it's 'few things'" he said, emphasizing on 'few things'

"Kim? You stole from her???" I was already getting impatient. I felt like hitting him so hard till he passed out.

"No, I would never do that. I only added the bracelet to the things she bought and she paid for it. Then I took it after the payment, that's all. I'm a genius, you see...you should thank me for that"

"Are you insane? It's more or less like stealing. How could you do that? You should return it" I immediately took it off and stretched it out to him.

"Why not return it and tell your friends about me" Kent said as he stared at the bracelet.

"Do it yourself" I grabbed his hand and placed the bracelet in his hand. He should do whatever he wanted with it, I never asked him to get me the bracelet.

"If you really don't want it, I guess I'll have to throw it away or give someone else"

He was going to give someone else? Did he mean he was going to give Tia? The bracelet was mine, I wanted it and he was already planning to give his girlfriend. It was the first thing he ever got me and he wanted to give Tia, what an *sshole. I would rather die than let Tia have the bracelet. It wasn't like it was stolen from the jewelry store or it wasn't paid for, so why shouldn't I keep it?

I moved a little closer to him and snatched the bracelet from him.

"I think i'll keep it"

"Give it back, you said you don't want it" Kent said

"Well I changed my mind"

"Better, but don't you dare give it away. If you ever change your mind again, give it back. Don't ever think of loosing it" he warned and gave me a straight look to show he meant what he was saying. What was wrong with him? Was he going to start ordering me around because he gave me a bracelet?

"I won't" she stuck out my tongue at him as I wore the bracelet.

"Rabbit" Kent joked and turned away. I rolled my eyes at him and turned around to look at the mirror. I couldn't help but smile at myself in the mirror.

It was my first gift from him and I couldn't help but wondered why he got it for me. I guess he cared after all, he just didn't know how to show.

This was a sign...it was a start of something new.
