"The cab is here," I say when we get to the front gate. We climb into the back.
"Camden Mall," Kait tells the driver.
"Right away."
When we got to the mall, the first place we went to was Gadzukes. There was a pink dress with
red dots hanging up.
"I want that dress!" Kait said. We got the sales clerk to get it down for her.
"What size?" He asks.
"Umm, a 2 or a 4, I don't know."
"You're a 2," The dude says as she looks at Kait's skinny frame. He gets the dress
down and hands it to her.
"Is there someplace where I could try this on?"
"Yeah, I'll unlock it for you." He goes with her to the dressing room and unlocks it. She
goes in and shuts the door. He goes back to the front desk. I start to browse through the clothes.
I find a really awesome green and tan camouflage halter top.
"Is there someplace I can try this on at?" I ask the chick sales clerk.
"Yeah, I'll unlock the room." She leads me to one of the empty stall things and unlocks
it. "It seems like I know you from somewhere."
"I have no idea if you do or not."
"Have you been here before?"
"No, I've been to this mall before, but not this store. We just moved here. We're at
Camp Starlite."
"Hmmm...I probably don't know you, you just look familiar." I went into the changing
room and I tried on the shirt quickly. I loved it, so I decided to buy it. I went out of the
changing room, then Kait came out of her changing room.
"What do you think?"
"I love it, and the color looks great on you. I think Zac will like it a LOT!" I say,
teasing her.
"Shut up!" She goes back into the changing room. I look at the shelves and notice a glass
butterfly. It's really cool looking. I look at the rest of the shelf and find a clear red one. I take
this and the shirt, and go to pay for them. Kait comes out of the dressing room. She has the
dress. She goes to the register where the guy is, and I go to the one where the chick is. I put my
things onto the counter and grab my wallet out of my purse.
"Here, I'll wrap this in newspaper for you. She grabs the front page of the paper from
under the counter and starts to crumple it up. "THAT'S where I know you from!!"
"Where?"
"The paper." She holds up the paper for me to see.
"Not another one!!"
"Not another what?"
"We have been in every newspaper all over the US!"
"How long have you been going out?" She starts to put my purchases into the bag. I
give her the money to pay for them.
"Not even a week!!"
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Okay, Airi I got what I want. Oooh, I like that shirt!" Kait says, standing next to
me.
"Can I have your autograph?" The chick asked.
"Why?"
"Cuz you're famous already." She hands me a piece of paper and a pen.
"Yeah sure, I guess." I take the paper and sign Aairana Kalle Jordan (KAIR) on it.
Then we leave the store.
"You know that guy?" Kait asks me.
"The hot sales guy?"
"Yeah. He asked for my phone number."
"Did you give it to him?"
"Yeah! He's really hot! He's also like, 17, but that's okay! Hey, you can't think he's
hot, you have a boyfriend!"
"A boyfriend who isn't here! Don't you think Zac'll be hurt when this other guy
calls??"
"No, I'm not going out with him, and besides, I can say I don't know who he is!"
"Well, you're close enough to going out with him!!"
"Yeah right! You kind of have to acknowledge that you like someone, and they have to
acknowledge that they like you back."
"Well you've kissed, close enough!"
"WE haven't kissed, he kissed me."
"So, you enjoyed it!"
"So! That's my problem!"
"I wouldn't call it a problem!"
"Me either, but it's still mine!"
"Where do you want to go now?"
"Well why don't we go and get a desk?"
It was about 4:30 when we got back from the mall. We had gotten a desk, a word
processor and then I had gotten three pairs of new shoes, black Nikes, purple Vans, and a pair of
green Docs. I had also gotten a new green hood that matched my shoes, and then I had also
bought a new camera because mine had gotten broken the last day of school. I was going to take a
lot of pictures of everyone at camp and then send them to my family and friends back in Hick
Town. Kaitlyn had gotten pink and red sandals to match her new dress, and pink nail polish to
match too. She also got a camera like mine, new jeans, a purple shirt, and a new maroon
swimming suit with gold and gray stripes on the sides, and gold trim. After we had put away our
purchases, I asked, "So what do you want to do now?"
"I don't know, do you want to go and see if Erik wants to do something since we said we
would come and do something with him?"
"Sure, it's not like we have anything better to do, and my boy isn't here, so I can check
out other hot guys!!!!"
"You're real nice!"
"I can look, I just can't touch." I giggle.
"Oh is that SO??"
"Yep!" I grab my purse and head out the door with Kay not too far behind me, still
wearing Zac's hood.
