"I don't know what we are, but I miss what we were"
---
After two hours of shopping we were still going in and out of stores. I had found out a lot about Veronica and she asked her questions in return that I answered. She had helped me a lot with finding clothes that made my body look good and made me feel good. I got honest answers each time I came out of the dressing room and as she promised we only checked the clearance areas because we both had a budget.
I found out that Veronica is single which is incredibly surprising to me because she is amazing. I love her personality and anyone with eyes can tell that she is beautiful. She says she likes this one boy named Colt but she kept mentioning Miles. Veronica claims that Miles is her best friend and that is all, anytime I would ask about him she was quick to say she didn't like him. I may not have much experience but I'm observant and I pick up on things like that.
He's texted her repeatedly while we have been shopping and her smile always grows when they are talking, when i catch her she puts her phone away and we go back to trying clothes on. She showed me a picture and he's good looking. He's 6'1 and has brown curly hair that is very fluffy looking. He's in very good shape and his smile matches Veronicas. Honestly they'd make a very cute couple and I don't know why she is declining liking him.
"Ok so there's like three more shops we can do and if you want we can do dinner on me since we've been at this for over two hours now." We walked into a different shop and went straight to the clearance section. "Yes that sounds good but I can pay for myself, it's not a big deal." She laughed and turned to me.
"Exactly if it wasn't a big deal then I can pay for the both of us." I just nodded my head agreeing because it was so nice to have a friend like this where I could go shopping, hang out with , get dinner with and talk about all the things I never really talked about with people before.
"Okay, then let's finish these last few stores and eat because I am hungry." I laugh at her. Going through the racks I found another pair of jeans. This pair was light washed, with rips on the thigh areas with some in the knees. I put them in our cart for try-ons while Veronica was shopping in the tops section.
She spun around so fast with a top lifted above her head. "Madelyn!" She nearly screamed it to the point that a few people around us all gave us looks. I gave her a look and she just laughed at me being uncomfortable. "You better try this on, it would look so good on your body shape."
I examined the top she had dangling in the air. It was a mint green cropped cardigan like top that tied in the front with a string. Underneath there was a low swooping tub top, it looked like it would show off a lot more than just a fresh start.
"Uh I don't know V, it seems like it's a bit showy, don't you think." She sighed and rolled her eyes making her way over to me. "Yes I know but your body is perfect for it and the color fits you, plus it goes with those grey washed jeans you bought, at least try it on." I nodded my head, taking it from her and shoving it in the cart.
