When we entered the mall there was a huge fountain right in the center, it was really pretty and I found it hard to want to leave there. But, soon enough Chay ca forward and wrapped her arm around mine, hanging on like I had seen people do in that TV show she had turned on for before.
"You, sit here and wait for us." Chay gave him a long stare before dragging away. "Bye bye." She wiggled her fingers at him as we left. I looked over my shoulder and waved sheepishly.
Chay was looking all around the building, at the shops, with a smile on her face. I was starting to feel a little overwheld and unsure. There were so many people here and so many stores. I was simply at a loss.
"Where to start first?" Chay questioned out loud. "Is there anything you want?" She looked at eagerly.
[I don't know] I answered honestly.
"What, I thought with Artem not right with us you would talk."
[Too many people] I was feeling nervous already, but I also wanted to get used to real life. This was so hard.
"Yeah, I guess there are quite a few. Good thing we didn't co on the weekend though, then it would be packed." She was laughing about that. I was glad that it wasn't 'packed' because then I could just imagine how many people would be here.
"Well, co on, let's go look around. We will see if anything catches your eye."
Chay pulled along then, taking to different stores one after the other. There were a lot of different things I was not used to, and things I was interested in. There was a wall full of purses in one of the stores, and most of them looked cute. I will admit that there were so that made wonder what they had been thinking when they had made them, but I don't understand fashion that much so it was probably just .
There was a purse I really liked, and I kept looking at it. It was the color that had caught my attention. It was a deep forest green but it was made out of so type of color changing material, because when the light hit it just right it would look lighter. It made think of Artem's eyes.
"Do you like that one?" Chay asked , noticing the attention I was paying to it. The purse was much simpler than the others around it. It had two small pockets on the front and two zippers on the top under a flap to access the inside. The strap was long and a little wider than that of the others, but not by too much. The zippers were black as was the trim around the edges. There was also one lone black paw print of the flap. It really was cute. I nodded my head to tell her I did like that purse.
"Do you want to buy it for you?" She asked , smiling. I shook my head no, shocked she would even offer. "Why are we here if not to buy you sothing.
[I don't really want anything, but if I am going to get sothing I want it to be perfect]
"What do you an?" She was confused, the look in her eyes and the tilt of her head was more than indicative of that.
[I don't want to get the first thing that I like. What if I find sothing better later?]
"Then I will get you both. I will buy you whatever you want."
"NO!" I said the word this ti instead of writing it.
"Why not?" She almost sounded like she was whining.
"I don't want you feeling the need to get sothing. You don't have to." I didn't know how to tell her that it made feel bad to have her buy it for . I was mooching off them, taking advantage of them. I couldn't let them buy everything I wanted.
"I think I understand." She was smiling at , happily. "Don't worry, we will find the perfect thing for you to get." That made happy, she was finally getting what I ant.
Chay took my arm again and we continued to walk around. But she had a small rectangle in her hand that kept lighting up as we walked.
"What's that?" I asked in a hushed voice so those around couldn't hear .
"This is my phone." She seed shocked at first that I had asked then seed to think better of it. "Of course you've probably never used one." She had a look on her face that was clearly saying 'Geez Chay, you're an idiot'. I laughed at her then, and of course the look she was giving herself.
"No, I haven't." I was shaking my head. "But I've seen them on the shows you had watch, and I've read about them. They help you talk to people that aren't around you."
"Yeah, and you can send ssages that are typed out, written, so they can read them."
"That's pretty nice, it would have been easier than writing all my ssages." I laughed again, thinking about how much faster that would have been. But, in reality, it probably wouldn't have been, since I didn't know how to use that thing.
"I will show you how to use it when we get ho." She smiled, seemingly having picked up on my inner thoughts.
"Ok." I nodded as well, agreeing fully.
The next store she took to had dresses. There were dresses of many different types and colors. I had never seen so much color in one place before and it was kind of a shock to the eyes.
"Oh, I think this one will suit you so well." She was grinning at as she held a dress up to . The dress in question was a light silver color, just a few shades off from white really. It was sleeveless and fastened behind the neck, the top was low cut and the front of the dress ca down to what looked to be the knees, at least that's where I guessed it would end, the back, was a little longer, just enough to start trailing on the floor. It really did look pretty, but I didn't know about it being good for .
"Co on, try it on, please?" Chay begged, giving puppy dog eyes and a pleading look.
"Ok." I agreed, I didn't want to disappoint her.
I took the dress and was led over to a changing room. I took the clothes I was wearing off and folded them neatly on the little bench that was in the stall like room. Once I was undressed I stepped into the dress from the top. Slowly, I pulled it up my body and did my best to fasten it behind my head by myself, the fact that I did it after a minute or two was actually a miracle.
"How does it look?" Chay's voice ca through the door.
After her question I finally looked at myself in the mirror that hung on the door. The color of the dress made my naturally pale complexion stand out a little more, and my eyes, a bright blue, seed to look a little bright and a little more luminescent with wearing the dress. It showed how thin I was, but it didn't look bad. And even the low cut front wasn't too bad, it didn't show anything.
"Co on, Star, let see." Chay encouraged , so I opened the door and let her see the dress on herself. "Oh my Goddess, Star. That dress is amazing. Just like I thought, it suits you perfectly. You look like a real shining star, blazing through the night sky. You're beautiful."
"Th-thank y-you." I stuttered, embarrassed and pleased at the sa ti.
"We are so getting that for you."
"But what if I find sothing else?" I was pleading now.
"I don't care, you'll get both, but you are definitely getting that dress." She seed determined and set on getting it for , and I couldn't fight her off.
Once the dress was off and I was in my other clothes again, we went straight to the counter and Chay bought that dress for . I didn't even know what I was going to use the dress for.
"Now, we need to buy you a pair of shoes to go with this." Chay grabbed my hand and left the shop excitedly.
