shopping

45 minutes in Martha said the inevitable. "Madam, its time to get dressed for your shopping date with your friends today. It is already 8.15 am so if you don't hurry either you'll be late or you won't be able to eat breakfast."

"Martha, give me 12 more minutes! The latest episode is about to finish, and this arc is about to conclude!" After my timer went off, I rolled out of my king-sized canopy bed and put on my slippers. 

I wore my fluffy robe to the dining hall where Mother was waiting patiently with fluffy pancakes drizzled with maple syrup and strawberries on top. "So, today are you going to go on a shopping spree with your friends for the excursion you told me about on Thursday?" 

"Mama, you know the girl I told you about?"

"Do you mean the one who was funny and brave and interesting?"

"Yep. That's the one! She's coming with me today to go to the mall I rented."

"Is it the same one as before? Or is it bigger?" Mother didn't care about my expenses.

"Bigger by far. In fact, its so big it's near Central Berlint." 

"Well, I guess we'd better dig in before you leave, dear!" I nodded in agreement and we finished our big breakfast in record time. I slid down the railing to find Martha laying out my outfit.

It was quite cute, with a faux sherpa cropped jacket over a simple white shirt which would be tucked under the short black pleated ruffle mini skirt, complete with trendy cream boots. I thanked Martha and she proceeded to assist me in putting on my outfit.

Once we were finished, Martha checked her wristwatch and nearly yanked my zipper in half. "Madam, we're running late! If you don't mind, can we go to the garage now?" I followed Martha downstairs to our limo, and we were on our way to Eden to pick up Damian first.

Thankfully he got out of the school gates without causing too much of a commotion, but the moment he sat down the rambling began. He's certainly got logorrhoea at this point. We saw Anya before the car even stopped.

It was kinda sweet, to be honest. With her mother fussing over her and my amazing Loid looking impeccable, even with that exhausted aura he still manages to look cheery enough that many strangers try to strike up a conversation.

I clenched my fists and slammed open the door dramatically, letting my hair do its thing, and ran over, past Loid's outstretched arms, tempting as it was, into an embrace with my Anya.

Martha pov

Becky had invited the pink-haired friend she told me so much about, I truly felt proud knowing someone could at least tolerate Madam Becky, and grateful for the fact that the young sir wasn't making a fuss.

"Martha, listen! There's a really funny girl in my class!"

"Martha, you know about the trip. I want to go shopping for the things I don't have with Anya, but a really infuriating dude is also tagging along."

I smiled at the two girls playing thumb war, and so far nobody had been successful. Damian was just thoughtlessly drinking a smoothie, so the car ride to the outskirts of Berlint was peaceful. The moment we stepped outside, however, the calm collapsed.

"Woah! Anya is shook." Miss Anya looked at the building with massive eyes, stars replacing the pupils as she fantasized. "Anya, let's go! The store will close at 5 pm, so if we don't hurry we might not be able to buy anything!" Young madam clasped Miss Anya's hand and forcefully dragged her to the front entrance, leaving the poor boy in their dust.

"7 hours and won't be able to buy anything? Hahaha, what are you, a sloth?" joked the young master, but I was too busy signing the verification code to bother. We entered the mall Madam Becky rented, and the kids chose to start on Lvl. 7 and go down.
