《Quem Ri Por Último Ri Melhor》CAPÍTULO DEZESSEIS
Advertisement
Tentei continuar usando roupas melhores durante a semana, o que funcionou, pois Lauren disse que acertei em todas as minhas escolhas. No sábado, ela apareceu em minha casa. Como sempre, ela conversou um pouco com Vic antes de ir falar comigo.
-E aí, badboy? - Ela disse, adentrando meu quarto.
-E aí, badgirl? - Respondi.
Começamos a nos chamar assim depois que contei à ela sobre o ocorrido com Avan e, mais tarde, ela me contou sobre uma briga em que tinha se envolvido quando mais nova.
Lauren separou mais algumas roupas, algumas em uma pilha e o restante em outra.
-Okay - ela disse. - Essas são as melhores peças que você tem - ela apontou para uma das pilhas. - E essas aqui são as que não são tão boas assim - ela apontou para a outra.
Olhei para a pilha ruim. As roupas que eu mais usava estavam ali.
-O que há de errado com essas roupas? Eu gosto delas.
-Matt, - ela disse aproximando-se de mim e colocando a mão em minha barriga - não há absolutamente nada de errado com essas roupas. Não há nada de errado em vestir-se do jeito que você quiser. Mas você não está se vestindo do jeito que você quer. Está se vestindo do jeito que Liz quer.
-Você está certa - eu disse. - Mas sobraram poucas roupas para eu usar, não vai dar para usá-las muito tempo.
-Nós vamos ao shopping comprar algumas roupas para você. Meu pai tem um cartão quase que ilimitado para usar em algumas lojas, nós podemos comprar com ele.
-Lauren, não quero gastar o dinheiro do seu pai. Vamos fazer de outro jeito, vou conseguir algum dinheiro com a minha mãe.
-Não esquenta, Matt.
Antes que eu pudesse falar mais alguma coisa, ela disse:

-Ah, quase me esqueci. Hoje vim para te falar sobre o passo 2 do nosso projeto. Garotas como a Liz adoram um homem comprometido. Você tem que fazer parecer que você está com alguém, ou estar com alguém de verdade, tanto faz, para ela poder demonstrar mais interesse em você.
-Mas Lauren, ela é comprometida com o Liam - eu retruquei.
-Você realmente acha que existe fidelidade naquele relacionamento?
Fiquei mudo.
-Okay, seja como for, você precisa dar a entender que está saindo com alguém. Não precisa ser agora, mas vai pensando no assunto e nas possíveis candidatas a esse "relacionamento" - ela fez aspas quando disse relacionamento.
Eu assenti e comecei a pensar sobre o assunto.
