Jamison leans against the wall of the department store, tapping a rhythm with his fingers. The door to the changing room unlocks with an audible click. Jamison turns to see how Ryker looks in his new outfit.
The cute dark haired girl staring back at Jamison blows him away. Just changing into the right clothes has transformed her from a tomboy to a chick he'd be lucky to have as a girlfriend.
"Woah..." Jamison breaths out.
"What? Do I look weird? Honestly I kind of feel weird-" Ryker starts rambling.
"No, you look great." Jamison compliments.
Ryker's pale cheeks flush bright pink from the compliment. Jamison can't help wishing Ryker would stay this cute. He smirks at Ryker's embarrassed expression.
"You ready to meet up with the other guys?" Jamison asks.
"Shit... What if Derek thinks I'm weird or gross?" Ryker worries.
Jamison thinks about it for a second. Derek isn't a gentle guy, but he isn't a complete asshole either. Derek also appreciates pretty girls the most of the quartet.
"Nah. If anything I think he'll-" Jamison pauses.
"What?" Ryker asks.
A mischievous smirk slips onto Jamison's face. He pulls out his phone, and sends a text to the group chat. Ryker gives him a perplexed look before pulling out his phone to check the notification.
Jamison: Hey is it cool if I bring a girl over?
Theo: Oh no
Derek: Oh YES!
Derek: How the fuck did you manage that?!
Jamison feels a light swat on his arm. He glances up to see Ryker, red faced and glaring at him with his hand over his arm.
"Did... You just smack me?" Jamison asks.
"Yeah! I see what you're trying to do!" Ryker growls.
The barely registered impact was apparently Ryker's angry slap. Jamison suppresses a chuckle. He gently pats Ryker on the head when a buzz interrupts their exchange.
Theo: Is she who I think she is?
Derek: What??? You know who she is? Are you guys holding out on me?!
Jamison: I just met her today dude, relax
Theo: How does Ryker feel about this..?
"Yeah, Jamison! How do I feel about this?" Ryker gripes.
Jamison barely stops a laugh from escaping as he starts walking with the bags of merchandise in hand. Ryker quickly follows him down the mall corridor.
"If it really makes you uncomfortable, I'll stop." Jamison says gently.
Ryker's expression softens as he walks alongside his much taller friend. He lets out a quiet sigh.
"I'm cool with it, but why do you want to do this?" Ryker asks quietly.
"I just think it'll be funny." Jamison says.
"What, making me the butt of your weird joke?" Ryker snaps.
"Oh no, Derek will be the butt of this joke." Jamison corrects.
Ryker's footsteps stop for a second. He quickly resumes walking after pulling out his phone. Jamison checks the group chat to see what Ryker's saying.
Derek: Why would Ryker care? Won't he be just as hyped as me???
Ryker: I actually can't make it for a bit, so I might not get to meet her :(
