The Switch Up

Chapter 2: Meeting Jared

Sophie made me go to the mall with her so we could get clothes for the concert. Or should I say she wants to get matching outfits? Anyways, I was forced to come here by her and my dad. Ugh, they always gang up on me.

So now here I am at the stupid mall because Sophie wanted to get matching outfits. I am not normal compared to some girls. I say this because I hate shopping. I mean it's ok sometimes, like when you go for shoes or... really just shoes. I don't mean high heels and flats, I like Vans and Converse.

"Sky, did you hear me?" Soph asked.

"No..." I said.

"I asked where did you want to go first to look," she said.

"Oh, I don't care where ever you want to go."

I honestly didn't care where we went or what we got. Ok, I cared a little about the clothes. I don't want to show up to a Shawn Mendes concert showing a lot of skin. I don't like girls who do that. It's like they don't care. I noticed that I complain a lot but that's who I am so it doesn't matter.

Sophie ended up taking me into Charlotte Russe. I heard this was a great store. It didn't bother me at first until I saw all the shorts. I hate wearing short, I prefer pants. I will accept this only because Sophie is happy. I think this may be the happiest I have ever seen her, well at least we have been friends.

While Sophie looked around at what we should wear, I just stood there not knowing what to do. A little while later a girl came up to me and asked if I needed help looking for something. I just replied with, 'I'm here with a friend. She's just looking around.' The lady nodded her head and went to ask a different customer.

I stood there a little while longer until Sophie called my name. I walked over to her and she was holding some mint colored high waisted shorts. The pair of shorts had three buttons, why? I didn't complain though, they were a pretty color. I nodded my head and looked my size. Sophie smile was really big. When we got in line and checked out, we went to the Vans store.

Sophie and I decided to go with something simple and got black Vans. I already had a pair but needed new ins because my old ones have been through a lot. We got our sizes and hurried and paid for them. Sophie thought that is would be good to get shirts made at the mall. I agreed even though I really didn't want to. I will do anything for Sophie, she has been through a lot, bot as bad as me but a lot. I was glad to see that she was happy.

The shirts that me and Sophie are getting say 'This girl loves Shawn Mendes' with thumbs pointing to our head. I wonder how many other girl might have this. Sophie also bought a shirt that said 'I'm the real Mrs. Mendes.' I smiled at this and thought it was cute. Sophie really does love Shawn Mendes. Her birthday is coming up soon and I think I have the perfect birthday gift.

She probably would really love to meet Shawn Mendes, maybe I could get his autograph or get backstage passes for us. I would have to ask my dad for a little help if I did the backstage pass thing.

Sophie said the guy who was making I shirts said to come back in a half a hour. Sophie said we could go get food. Finally I have been wanting food ever since the second store we went to. I am a fat kid who loves the food that they sell at the mall. I am the only one? We walked to the food court and went our separate ways once we got to the food court because we wanted different things. I went to "Annie's Pretzels" and got a pretzel and a lemonade. Sophie got a piece of pizza with a Gatorade from an Italian place in the food court. Let me just say it was a big piece of pizza.

"So are you excited?" I asked her. I was asking her about the Shawn Mendes concert, but I didn't have to say that because she already knew what I was talking about.
