At home
To continue from where I left off....there is actually nothing interesting during the assembly talk. Headmaster Garnet did not talk much, just that she will be watching us closely for any misbehaviour. She also mentioned that there is the social dancing activity every Thursday. After that, our lessons started and we separated. Francesca is on the third floor Classroom A, Lacy and Thalasste are in Classroom D on the first floor, Brenda is in Classroom B on the third floor and I am in Classroom S on the fourth floor.
I met Aila in the classroom. We greeted each other. During the lesson, her only pen ran out of ink and I offered her one of my pens. When I can't see what the teacher is drawing nor how to copy it, she helped me out too. She is a much better artist than me.
After school has ended, I meet Thalasste, Brenda and Lacy outside the school gate, preparing to go to the Katherine's shop. Francesca had her after-school royal lesson and thus did not accompany us.
Katherine shop is five bus-stops and a couple of miles away. It is located near a celebrity shop where clothes worn on a celebrity before are sold there. Of course, those items there are expensive too.
We went into the shop. The bell dinged as we stepped inside. It is a lovely place with mannequins wearing some pretty and or cute clothes, as well as clothes and items on display. The clothes were on hangars in racks and put in different sections according to their themes. I saw one for morocco theme. The shop is separated into two parts, one of branded items ("jewel"), another of cheaper items ("ribbon").
Here's a brief drawing of the shop layout:
Lacy was excited over all the cute items and looked over them, gushing in delight. Brenda sensibly went to look at the cheaper ("ribbon") items that she can afford. Thalasste went to look at the recent goods. I had already bought everything (clothes and items) I wanted so I went to the branded perfume section to smell and try out the perfumes.
Lacy came over to me after a while. She was holding a branded white "kiss me shirt".
Lacy: I am going to buy this. How does it look on me?
Me: It looks great! If you still aren't sure, you can try it out in the fitting room.
Lacy went to find a fitting room.
I saw Brenda frowning in the cheaper items section and went to her.
Me: How is it going?
Brenda: Hmm...I am thinking about this "stripe ribbon" hat. It looks cute but I am not sure whether it fits me.
Me: Try it on.
Brenda tentatively put the hat on her head.
Me: You look good.
Brenda: Really?
Thalasste, who had got bored of the items since many are not to her style, went over to us.
Thalasste: She's right. It does look good on you.
Brenda finally decided to buy the hat after a while. She also took a couple of other things. Lacy, who had finished trying the shirt, also decided to buy the shirt. She used her new credit card to pay that expensive shirt and her other purchases, one of them is the branded "house-type bag" I told her. Only Thalasste and I did not buy anything.
Katherine, the shop owner, rang up our purchases. She gave Lacy and Brenda coupons for their purchases.
Lacy: What is this?
Me: You will get a coupon ("shell") for every $100 purchase. When you get 5 coupons ("shells"), you can exchange it for a free gift.
Brenda's eyes lit up at the mention of free gifts.
Brenda: What are the free gifts? Nintendo?
Me: The gifts are drawn out randomly. If you are lucky, you will get an expensive exclusive clothes or items. Otherwise, you will usually get a pretty useless or normal plain item.
Lacy: I hope I got the lucky gift!
Brenda: Let's combine our coupons to get the gift then.
Lacy and Brenda put their five coupons into a shell-shaped machine ("shell spring") as instructed for their chance of the free gift. The machine made some noise before spitting out the free gift. Unfortunately, they get a "normal" gift, a "ball beads"necklace.
Brenda: Not bad. I can wear it.
Lacy (slightly disappointed): Hmmm....could be better.
We left the shop. We bumped into Francesca outside the shop in the street.
Lacy: Francesca! Has your lesson ended?
Brenda: Buying clothes from Katherine's shop too?
Francesca: Yes, my lesson just ended. I am going to the secret shop.
Lacy (puzzled): Secret shop?
Thalasste and I knew what she meant. There is a shop that only caters to special guests and their friends. I was able to buy from it once as I was invited by a friend, who was one of the special guests allowed.
I explained briefly to Lacy and Brenda after Francesca left.
Before we went home, we chatted in the cafe (poupee cafe) about the things we learned today and gossips. Even Thalasste, who is quite an introvert, enjoys it too. Then, to mark this outing, we went to the photo booths ("pupecula") inside a building. We had fun taking photos in different background provided by the photo-taking machine.
After that, we went home, with a smile on everyone's face.
That's all for today. Time for me to start tackling on my homework and to stop procrastinating. Talk to you tomorrow.
