Broken

Chapter 7

We decided we would have time to shop in about 3 stores, so we started in Forever 21. Sure, it was just a trip to the mall, but these girls made the most of it they made it seem like we would never see it again, kipping through all the isle's grabbing a handful of clothes at a time. We all decided to try on clothes together so we could get everyone's perspective on them before buying it.

What felt like about 45 minutes, later everyone was ready to try it all on. We waited in a longer line that went around the first floor and to the right. When it was finally our turn the lady gave us the big family dressing room looking at us suspiciously.

"Thank you!" Tyler smiled and then led us into the dressing room, slamming the shiny black door behind her.

As soon as we got into the room, we all burst out laughing from the lady's reaction towards us.

"Did you see the way she was looking at us!" Sandra fell back on dressing room bench.

I fought the urge to laugh, trying to keep a straight face. "Okay enough! Dont forget we have to be back by 5:30."

They nodded and from there we got started. We went from skirts to high waisted shorts, and dresses to leggings. You name it, we tried it on. All I brought in the dressing room was a pair of jeans but they forced me to try on other things, claiming "I couldn't wear jeans to a high school party."

"Jenna stop!" Celsius yelled, her eyes couldn't get any bigger.

She caught me off guard and I ended up screaming so loud the whole store probably heard me. I tripped on a puddle of clothes under my feet and fell against the dressing room bench.

"Keep it down in there!" The lady that worked in the department banged on the door.

"Sorry!" We all whispered at the same exact time.

"I didn't mean to scare you but that dress is perfect." Celesis was leaning against the door with her pinky between her teeth, scrutinizing me like the fashion police.

Rose nodded, joining her by the door. "Trust me you have to get it."

"You guys think so?" I stopped in front of the mirror examining myself. I was wearing a tight black dress that stopped a little higher than mid thigh. It was cut out around the sides revealing a small amount skin. I'm short and small and the dress is so tight it feels like it could make me completely disappear. I can't remember that last time i've ever tried one of these things on.

"I guess i'll get it."

I scrambled in my bag, pulling out my phone looking down at the time. I felt my heart plummet down to my feet and I swore I was going to have a heart attack. "Guys it's 5:00!"

"No! Tell me you're kidding!" Elizabeth stopped changing and looked at me wide eyed. She had one leg in a pair of new shorts and one out.

"No im not kidding! Now hurry up and change!"

We rushed out of our new clothes and put on the original ones we came in. We were tripping, bumping, and falling all over each other as we did so. Today was the only day we had a chance to go shopping due to Cathy and Sam going out with their boyfriends the next day, and the party coming up too soon. We didn't want to leave them behind, it wouldn't be the same.

Everyone grabbed the best outfit they could find and rushed out of the dressing room to pay, instead of Celesis who claimed "she didn't like anything she tried on." We exiting the store but I couldn't miss the dirty look the worker gave us.

"You're late! Your hair isn't even up! What is wrong with you guys?" Saying that our coach was mad would have been a major understatement.

Her hands were placed on her hips and she couldn't even stand to look at us all in the eye.
