Chapter 17

LOUISE

After our rude pillow-fight, we lied in bed and I instantly fell asleep. It’s six o’clock in the morning and I’m thinking about my novel. I honestly think that I should give Candace some space, I should let her live on her own.

My face sits deep on my pillow and my right side is half outside the bed. The sheet is all messed up. The summer coolness makes its way across the room. I think that Laurène must have opened the window during the night. Despite what I told her, I’m not bothered if the person with whom I’m sleeping gets up during the night. Especially because Garance’s the only person with whom I’ve shared a bed. We have too many sleepovers, by the way.

Laurène’s still asleep like a princess. I had never seen one before but I have one right before me. I take my time watching her, fascinated.

She must feel my stare because she opens her eyes a little. Her black and curly hair is slightly messy.

- Morning.

Her voice is lower than usual.

- Morning, I say back.

My face turns red. Does she know I was watching her? I could always tell her that I’m writing a novel about lesbians and I need to study her species closely to justify it. But it’s better if I shut my mouth.

- What are you doing? She asks slowly.

I force myself not to give her my first excuse. Someone knocks on the door. I go get the door while Laurène rolls herself on the sheets until her frame’s no longer visible.

- Morning! Says Clara.

She’s wearing her purple suit with loose pants and a fresh rose in her pocket. She taunts me as if she was going to try again and offer it to my new friend. I don’t want to share her, not a little, a lot, or at all. Think of what happened with Garance.

- I’m bringing you some clothes, announces Clara.

Effectively, she rolls a full closet inside the room. She thinks that’s going to make us forget the small incident of the trip. We’re being treated like stars. I won’t refuse it. I thank her simply by pulling the dressing inside the room. Then, she continues her round of dressings to the other rooms and I close the door behind me.

Laurène gets out of her hidden place and stares at the clothes. We’re visibly excited to see all these fittings to make. Apparently, everyone has been offered a personal selection. The GRAVITATION team must have also a group of stylists.

They must know our personal tastes based on our app profiles.

Laurène doesn’t look very excited about having to dress up. I would also want to go back to sleep. But it’s only for today, after this everything will go back to normal. My parents think that I’m still at Garance’s, which is what usually happens so they’re not worried at all.

- Don’t you want to try them out? I ask her.

- I’m on a break.

- On a break from clothes or coaching?

She stares at me.
