“Let’s see here Jellybean, what style do you see yourself in? High fashion? Casual sporty? Dark and mysterious alternative?”
“I suppose I’ve never thought about that
before.”
“We’ve gotta get you out of that suit
though. People are going to think you’re a pedo if you walk around the streets
in that getup!”
“I’ll leave it in your hands. Whatever
you think would best suit me.”
“Yay!” I cheered and clapped my hands.
The rummage through my family’s spare clothes began and I didn’t really turn up
much. At least, not much that would fit him. I just had to look harder! I’d
already spent so much time working at that Watcher-awful mullet. The right
combination of clothes had to be there.
Eventually
I settled on an old pair of Han’s jeans and some jacket that probably belonged
to Claudey or Dad. Or maybe Dad’s husband.
“Hey Issy? There is one change I’d like
to suggest.”
“Oh yeah? What’s that?”
“Perhaps, now that I’m a human, you could
find a more suitable name than Jellybean?”
Dad still nagged me about it being best that JB lived down in the cellar while we were teenagers. He had the place set up well enough for someone to survive (why I had no clue), but it was boring as heck! Still, we made due, finding fun wherever we could.
Meanwhile, the rest of my family was as oblivious as ever. They went about their days not knowing about my secret living down below.
Spending more time with JB in the cellar, meant that things were going to hell in my house. Nobody was cleaning anything! It’s as if they thought I, the heir, was some kind of maid.
