Caelen sighed as she put everything on the floor. No way was she holding all of that for much longer. Who knew clothes could be so heavy? Now for the daunting matter of trying them on.

The eleven year old sighed and ruffled her red hair, picking up the first robe and throwing some skirts next to her on a small pile. She really wasn't looking forward to this. It wasn't that she hated shopping -although she wasn't a fan-. There was just a bunch of things on the list. For a split second she wished she'd brought her host so she could do that thing were she would try things on and walk out, making him judge as she posed. It was stupid to think of but it was something she'd always wanted to do. It would be like one of those stupid, ancient comedies she pretended to hate.

Wait, no! She had to focus. This was not going to get done by pretending a sassy friend was there to judge her outfits. She would have to be the sassy friend herself. There was only one way to do this and not be bored out of her mind.

Five minutes later she was modeling the skirts and the robes, deciding if they looked good with the scarf. She voted on no, but that was mostly because she just didn't look good in school uniforms. It was a fact of life. Men didn't look good with hairy backs and she just did not look adorable in school uniforms. You could confirm that with her first school. It wasn't pretty.

Halfway through the fun she started to get bored. Which meant that things in the dressing room started getting a little weird. She pulled the scarf over her top lip and acted like a posh old man and then threw it behind her and acted like a distinguished woman. She felt so faaaannnncyy like this.

WAIT, FOCUS. She stopped herself after a few minutes and continued, still enjoying herself by modeling the clothing.

Fifteen minutes and a bunch of clothes piles later, Caelen was a bundle of stifled giggles as she got her turquoise sweater and white jeans on, admiring herself in the mirror. She wasn't conceited or anything, but everyone had to give themselves props once in a while and she liked to think that now was as good a time as ever. And yes, everything looked good except for her hair, which never looked good anyway so there was no point.

Sorting through the piles, she soon had everything she needed, and careful to watch out for rogue coat racks, she walked out, her Converse thick on the ground.
