I walk out the door closing it excited about the time with Elana and meeting someone new. I walk to my mom's car buckle my seatbelt and turn on the engine. I pull out the driveway and drive off.
During the car ride I'm in a pretty good mood. The sky cleared up and it's sunny. The trees I pass by look rich and full of life despite the cold season. I check the GPS and it says I'll be there at 6:33. I worry a bit but it's only three minutes. I turn on the radio and go to my favorite station. Without me by Halsey. One of my favorite songs I don't even listen to her often.
I Continue and the gps tells me to pull in a shopping plaza. I'm having trouble finding the store. I drive in a circle for I bit then I look to the left and i see it. I look a little closer and see Elana alone waiting outside. I had I idea. I pull up my phone camera

Very funny :p
*Sent at 6:35*I pull up into a parking spot and get a closer look at Elana. She is wearing a white beanie with pretty thick hoodie jeans and pink boots. She's smoking a cigarette on the side of the building. I must be oblivious because I didn't know she smoked. She doesn't seem the type. She noticed me from inside the car and waved. Taking one last puff dropping the cigarette then stepping on it.
I turn off the engine grab my tote bag and head out of the car."Hey! What's up? Where's Abby?" voiced energetically giving her a side hug."HEEY! She took the bus then walked,so she should be here in a minute." she exclaimed excitedly."So how are you holding up?" she asked, her voice laced with concern."I pause, searching for the right words. "yEa..*Cough*yea I'm holding up alright" I confirmed, smiling slightly forced. Then I shifted on my feet, avoiding her gaze.
Seeing my discomfort, she bumps my shoulder gently. "That's good! I'm always here if you need anything."Elana looks behind me and her face lights up."HEEY ABBY!" She says grinning her. her face lights up, knowing we're all here. I turn around to get a look at Abby. She seems quite uncomfortable walking. She has tanned brown skin with hot pink hair styled and a wolf cut. Green long-sleeve shirt, pink skirt, leggings, and gray sneakers. She is also wearing a green and pink crochet kitten hat.
She walks closer to the frost and hugs Elena. She then turns to me and smiles, putting her hands back under her shirt."So you must be Oakland, right? Elana told me about you She asked half smiling putting her hand out again."Yes, that's me and same here." I replied shaking her hand back. "I like your cami top, I saw one similar on Shein." Abby stated as she pulled her hand back and then started running threw her hair. I caught that one. I put my hands in my pocket." Thank you but it's actually from Fashion Nov-." "Looked similar"
Abby retorted pulling out her phone. It was a cracked Android with a clear case. "We can shop here for a half hour then hit the skating rink," Elana announced sensing the tension likings arms me as we headed inside. The thrift store was your average. The clothes were neatly stacked on the racks in type order. Some were on the floor courtesy of rude buyers. The floor was a grey sainted carpet and the walls were painted blue.
This is what someone would imagine when they hear thrift store. Me and Elana walk side by side while Abby drags behind us."Hey Oakland! This is so you."Elana says pulling a yellow and black flannel off the rack eyeing it. It does look like something I would wear it's super cute.I check the price tag on the sleeve. It's 5:99 and I have 50 from my saved allowance."It does and it's really soft." It seemed like something that would last. It's also for a great price."I'll take it! It would look so cute on me" I chuckled as I got a good look at it. "I think so to." Elana smiled handing me the flannel. I then put it in my basket.
"So when did you and Abby meet," I asked in curiosity. The question gets Abby's attention as she perks up."Daycare" Abby said catching up to us."Yeah, and we hated each other till the fourth grade." Elana chimed in. "Oh shit now I remember," I said in realization. It came back I did know Abby I guess it just was at the back of my mind.
