4th July

10:45

'Go for a walk,' she said. 'It'll be fun,' she said. So here I was. In some kind of mall in the centre of Chicago. It was huge compared to the ones back home. It must have at least a couple of hundred shops, most of which I hadn't heard of before. Shops like Urban Outfitters, Sephora, American Apparel, Forever 21 and Brandy Melville littered the mall walls. I had heard all about shops like these from watching American youtubers but most of them either didn't exist in Britain, or were pretty damn hard to find.

I stood in the centre of the mall, just wandering around. Even though it want even eleven yet, I had already got my Starbucks iced frappe. I had gotten really into Starbucks since we arrived- the tour was sponsored by Starbucks so we got these little card thingies that allowed us to get free drinks. As a stereotypical white girl would say: it was most definitely 'goals'.

Still, I look like a little bit of a loner.....

I decided to remotely stay behind this group of girls as they crossed from Forever 21 to Urban Outfitters - it made me look like I had friends. I stayed on my phone the whole way though.

"Ummm... excuse me but err... are you Ellie Heyes?"

I glanced up time see one if the girls front the group infront staring at me. I gave her my goofy smile and nodded.

"I am indeed!"

" Urrmmm... could we by any chance have a picture?"

"Sure!"

I suddenly had this whole group of girls around me, posing for the camera. I looked in the front facing camera- at least I had bothered to make an effort today. I had my hair down and straight, still intact makeup and my outfit was on fleak: navy high waisted denim shorts, black high top converses and a blue/red flannel on.

We all yelled "cheese!" as we took the picture.

"Thank you so much! We are all coming to see Taylor Swift on the 19th- we can't wait to see you - I loved your piano cover! Is it true that Vance-Joy had to pull out?"

I nodded my head,

"Yeah, it's a huge shame. But don't worry, we'll have someone by the 19th. On the bright side, Taylor is still playing!"

"Oh Okay. Thank you so much Ellie!"

"That's Okay, it's nice to know I have fans aha. Happy 4th July guys!"

They gave me their twitter names to follow and disappeared into the crowd entering Urban Outfitters. I didn't really know where to go, but I knew I wanted to get something that was a 4th July theme - I could wear it to the party. Brandy Melville looked like it might have some 4th July tops so I headed over there.

After around 3 hours of shopping and Starbucks refills, I was browsing in Hollister. They had some cool shorts but they were all pretty expensive! I walk on over to the shirt section.

It just had to be next to those good looking boys who may or at not work here.

Without warning, the one with brown spiked up hair pulls out his phone.

"Hit that nae-nae!" He smirks,

What the..?

I look around unsure. Nae-nae?

"Am I meant to hit some type of clothing or something?" I ask confused.
Just to be sure, I lightly hit the jumper on the rail next to me.

At this, they burst into laughter. I stood there clueless. The one with bright blue eyes looked like his eyes were watering.

"It's even better that she's British," he managed to gasp in-between chuckles.

"Cam, please tell me you got that on film!"

"Yep, that vine is going to be awesome-"

"Okay, I am really confused now," I say as they, once again, burst into laughter.
I shook my head and started to laugh too, it was contagious!

"It's a dance move," the one with the brown hair said.

"Like this,"

He did some kind of octopus shuffle thing in the middle of Hollister. The lady at the cashier gave him the weirdest look. So he stood up straight and flipped his head to face her,

"Whatchall starin' at woman?" He said sassily.

The one with the blue eyes grabbed my wrist and dragged me out of the shop.

"And that's our cue to leave," he said laughing.

The one with brown hair came out quickly after. He looked mischievous and had his phone in his hand,

"She didn't want to hit that nae-nae either," he said as we all burst into laughter.

After about 5 minutes of solid chuckling, we finally ran out of breath.

Omfg my stomach, I am expecting abs by the end of this.

"So," the one with blue eyes smirked, " I'm Nash, and this is Cam." Nash smiled. "And I have to tweet this!"

He held up his phone and we took a selfie, all doing duck faces and pouting. He paused.

"What's your twitter name?"

"elvirahayes , no caps, no spaces."

"Okay,"

He typed into his phone: ' NEW VINE COMING OUT!- Public adventures with these two @camerondallas @elvirahayes'

"So, Elvira, Fancy a drink?" Cam asked.

Should I?

I have ages to kill before the next meeting. They didn't seem like vicious axe murderers. Ah, what the hell? Why not?

"Look who has a free Starbucks card!" I smiled in reply. I waved the card right in their faces. They cheered and we ran to find a nearby Starbucks. That is except for Cam, who 'nae-naed' the whole way there.
