Aurora's POV
It was the next day that I have to drag my lazy butt to the mall to buy Milo a pair of glasses and his birthday gift, I already gave myself the promise I won't let him pay and I will. There is one problem though

The magnetic field of the bed is so strong that my body refuses to move an inch to get off of it even for a second, I was too tired from yesterday and I don't think my body can take it now but I have to. I groaned as I rolled off my bed with the wrapped blanket around myself like a burrito and waddled to the bathroom to take a bath

I felt the warm water hit my body and I relaxed a bit in the shower, scrubbing my hair and back like a massage is best. After I finished I noticed my face in the mirror, it was only a few days since I started not wearing makeup and my skin complexion is improving along with my pimple marks fading that it is almost gone

I nodded in approval and patted my shoulder as a great job pat then I wrapped myself in a towel before going out of the bathroom, I shrieked when I saw that all of my friends are now in my room doing their own thing. Their visit was unexpected so I was not prepared to see them this early on a Thursday morning

"Your face is improving Rora" Sandra came in the room with a bowl full of chips and gave some to Skye as she sat down on the rug, Blaire was playing with Andrea's hair and as for Milly who is on her phone texting someone

"Who are you texting Milly?" I asked as I open my wardrobe to find a simple outfit to go to the mall
"Devan"

I turned around instantly
"Wait, aren't you two still fighting?"
She shrugged at me in response
"Dunno, he is too prideful to admit it but I do so I'm gonna make him say it"

"Say what?" Andrea side glanced her
"That he is just using Milo as an excuse to see Rora, it's too freakin obvious!" She showed their chat to all of us

"Yeah, he just sent you a middle finger emoji, good luck with that" Andrea retorted which made us snicker, Milly rolled her eyes at her and stuck her tongue out

I wore simple grey pants and a fitted maroon t-shirt with a black converse to match everything, I just let my hair down for today and I don't think not wearing a surgical mask is ok too

"Hey, where are you going?" Blaire eyed me up and down
"I'm going to the mall with Milo"

"After you started dating Milo you haven't spent much time with us" Skye pouted which made me giggle
"I'm just gonna buy a birthday gift for him and a pair of glasses since his friend broke them by accident"

I closed the door quickly and ran out of the house, I can hear them run after me trying to ask me more questions. I saw Milo's car up ahead
"MILO OPEN THE CAR!!" I yelled and he opened the backseat of the car instantly, I jumped in and he drove off

"Phew, lost them" I said in relief, Milo laughed a bit as he looks at me in the mirror
"Why are you running away from them?"

"They like to interrogate me whenever I am going to go somewhere, it just became a habit I guess for all of us" I squeezed into the front to get to the passenger seat

"I'm surprised you can see well without glasses" I leaned closer to the side of his face

Milo's POV
I felt my heart race a bit when she leaned closer to the side of my face, focusing on the road is hard when someone is looking at you but I don't mind Rora doing it though

We stopped at a red light and I gaze back at her, her hair is down and she wore simple clothes today but even she managed to make it look good
"You look pretty today"

She gave me a bewildered look as she pointed to herself
"Am I?" She asked with a high pitched voice that almost cracked, she didn't believe it for a bit

"I'm telling the truth, you look pretty today" I let out to her, she didn't know what to react to my compliment so she reached for the top of my head and made me face the road

"You really need glasses" she mumbled, she was looking out to the window and there is a slight blush on her cheek

I stopped the car in the mall parking lot, she jumped out excitedly and pulled me to a near glasses store as she try to put on different glasses on my face. My sight is 20/20 so it doesn't matter if I need them or not but I like seeing her face come close as she tries to put glasses on me

I have to lean down every time because Rora was a bit short and we get a lot of funny but admiring looks from passersby and the employees in the shop, they kept looking at my face
"Even back then they would always look at me like I'm some new product that should be bought because of my money and face" I thought to myself

"I think this one suits you best" Rora spoke breaking me out from my thoughts, I look at myself in the mirror and the glasses did suit me

"Do you like it?" She asked me as she played with the tips of her hair as she looks at me anxiously, I smiled down at her small frame
"I like, let's get this one"

She bought the glasses for me and we wander around the mall for a bit, I saw my reflection through store glass windows and we are total opposites it was quite obvious. Does Rora think we would be a match?

Rora unconsciously held my hand but was too distracted by the stores and extravagant designs in the mall since Valentine's day is near, maybe I should get a haircut my hair is too much work anyways and I have a girlfriend now so they won't come after me

"Hey, Rora do you wanna accompany me to get my haircut?" I rigged her hand and she looked at me, she now realized that our hands are intertwined and her face become flushed

Seeing Rora blush and become flustered is now my new favorite hobby
