Gilda's Change and What Secret is Victoria Hiding?!

Tira's POV

Emma was panting heavily as Gilda finally stopped dragging her through stores and to be honest, I get it. Gilda was like this MACHINE zooming through stores and forcing clothes into Emma's hands before shoving her into the dressing room. And sometimes Gilda's fashion sense was super questionable. Like who pairs red and pink together? Red and HOT pink?????

"OH MY GOSH EMMA OVER THERE!" Gilda grabbed Emma and dragged her off again. I was NOT happy to be going after them. My ghost feet were so tired you could chop them off and I wouldn't even notice.

"Damnit!" I looked over and saw Ray skidding to a stop with Norman and Phil in tow.

"I swear I just saw them! Where did they go?"

"Are you sure Ray?" Norman was panting and I swear he would have been on his hands and knees if he thought the floor was clean.

"I saw Emma's cowlick!" Phil shouted before running off. Norman and Ray gave chase and of course I had to too.

When we finally caught up to the two Phil rushed into the store without a second thought. Ray and Norman on the other hand had looked away blushing.

"Hey, Ray, Norman, it's fine for guys to go in." I said extending my hand out. "I mean, it's just some bras and underwear. Oh! You can look at those super nice bathrobes instead!"

"Hey Ray, do you think Phil will be okay in there?" Norman mumbled, turning his back on Victoria's Secret. I wonder what her secret is...

"He'll be fine!" I laughed. "This is Phil we're talking about. He's smart."

"I'm sure he'll be fine. It's Gilda I'm worried about." Ray mumbled. Huh? I mean yeah she turned into a capitalistic monster and it wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too into clothes shopping right now but that's normal right? She never has the chance too, so...

"What do you mean?" Norman asked. Ray sighed and took in a deep breath, leaning in to Norman's ear.

"Ever since she found out that we were going clothes shopping she's been up at night."

"But that's normal isn't it? It's her dream after all."

"No! I mean, yeah, but it's different. She's not just looking at the magazines and dog ear-ing each page of the stuff she likes. She's been... creepily laughing and wiping at her mouth. I think she's drooling? And she's been panting hard too."

... what the hell? WAS GILDA ON DRUGS?!?!??!!! I saw a few people on them when they were still going to that school. Apparently there was a dealer in Ray's math class.

"Is... she okay?"

"I don't think so. And that's not all. Apparently a person from her class when we were going to that weird school introduced her to a social media app called Instagram. I broke into her phone once and she was following all these body builders and models. I'll be honest, it was a bit creepy."

"No kidding. This isn't the Gilda we knew back at Grace Field."

"Exactly! She's acting like a different person! Whenever I ask her about Instagram she keeps trying to avoid the topic. And it's not as if she's smoothly lying either. Once I asked if I could follow her since her account was private and she literally told me 'Ray, how big are your muscles?' And on the outside I was calm, but the inside? I was freaking out!"

"I would too Ray! Chilling on the outside and freaking it on the inside! Like what? At least she didn't grab your arms or anything to try and feel them!" I blew out a breath of air. WOW. I didn't know Gilda changed THIS much!

"And when I didn't answer her she slowly walked up to me and rubbed her hand against my bicep. It was so creepy! I don't understand why Gilda was- Norman?"

Norman froze in his spot and his eyes widened. Ray and I turned around to come face-to-face with Emma, Phil, and Gilda.
