"Guys! Wait up!" Celestine groaned. We were at the mall and she was taking a long time through every store we went through.
"Hurry up you snail." Trina said. Only to receive a playful slap from Celestine.
"I'm trying to find something to make me look sexy in." She said.
"For Michael?" Trina asked wiggling her eyebrows.
"No Channing Tatum." Celestine said sarcastically and made a 'oh' face. I laughed and we continues walking.
"Ooo! Victoria Secret!" Celestine yelled pointing toward the store.
"Uh, no. Let's not go in there." I said looking around. I always felt uncomfortable shopping in there, thinking I'd see someone from school when I look at the bra and panties. That's why Kmart is the only shop I go to for bras and panties so I don't get labeled.
"Too bad." Celestine said grabbing my wrist. I stumbled a little as she pulled me toward the store. Trina and Aralia followed willingly. She dragged me toward the bra and panties section and I tried to squirm out of her grip.
"Picking out a singlet for Michael already?" Trina said teasingly.
"No." She said giggling, "I'm just looking." I tried to pull myself away. Eventually I got out of her grip and stumbled backwards, landing in my bum inside the mall. Some eyes landed on me and then looked away. But some didn't leave.
"Summer!" I heard a familiar voice yell. Oh god no. I looked to my right and saw the group of boys walking toward me. Oh no. I quickly stood up and wiped off my jeans. I saw Luke running toward me and I opened my arms for an awkward hug. He hugged me and I smiled awkwardly.
"So why are you hanging out at Victoria Secret?" Michael asked wiggling his eyebrows.
"I-I wasn't it it was-" I stuttered but was interrupted.
"Hey guys!" Celestine said walking out casually with a Victoria Secret bag.
"What's that for?" Michael asked smirking.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" She said teasingly. I was gonna be sick. I scrunched up my face in disgust. Then I felt arms wrap around my waist. I looked behind me and I saw Ashton. I pushed his arms off and took a few steps forward.
"It was a kiss not a marriage proposal back off." I said. He sighed and stood beside me instead.
"So, what are you guys doing here?" Trina asked.
"Why were you guys shopping for singlets?" Calum asked. I face palmed myself and shook my head.
"We didn't-" I was cut off by Celestine.
"I got this really cute black one. Here." She said digging around in her bag. She pulled out the singlet and my eyes widened at the sight. It had hand cuffs. Hand cuffs! It showed way to much.
"And it came with these." She said pull out tights. Michael's eyes widened and a mischievous smile creeped onto his face.
"Ewe." I said. Celestine and Michael gave me the death glare. I rolled my eyes and Aralia grabbed my arm.
"Let's go." She said pulling me and Trina away from the sexual scene. I heard footsteps jog up behind me and Ashton, Luke, and Calum followed.
"We had to get out of that disturbing scene." Calum said.
"Says the one who's nudes got leaked." I said smirking.
"Burn!" Luke said loudly. Calum glared at him and slapped his arm. I giggled and then I realized we were at Starbucks. We walked inside and we waited in line. Ashton stood silently beside me. I ordered my coffee and got us some tables outside. Ashton sat down next to me. He grabbed my hand and I pulled away. You will not fall in love with this boy. You've been through enough you don't need anymore. I took a deep breath and gave Ashton a reassuring look. He smiled weakly and looked away. I bit my lip and looked up as Aralia and Luke were balancing our cups. I got up and grabbed two of the drinks. We sat them down on the table and I sat back down next to Ashton. I smiled at him sweetly and looked away. I took a sip of my coffee and got onto my phone.
"Are we that boring?" Calum asked. I looked up and he was gesturing to me and my phone. I nodded and continued looking at places in America. I looked up places I wanted to see when we went there. I felt someone looked over my shoulder and I ignored the m hit breaths that fanned my neck. It sent shivers down my spine and I continued to search through the attractions in New York. It was very hard to concentrate so I didn't really know anything about it.
"LA is my favorite place." Ashton said over my shoulder. I turned my face to look at him. Our faces were only inches away. I backed up a little and cleared my throat.
"What's it like there?" I asked.
"It's all city, but it also has the beach. It has its ups and downs. It has its clean and it's disgusting areas, but it's cool." He said. I nodded.
"So the beach is a definite yes." I said. Ashton nodded. I put my phone away and watched as Michael and Caitlin flirted. I knew something neither of the knew, they both had a crush on each other. They both threatened my life against me if I told, so I didn't. Michael put his arm on the table and tried to act cool. He was telling her something until he used hand gestures and knocked her coffee onto her lap.
"Oh Shit!" Michael yelled. He grabbed a bunch on napkins and put them on her lap. She looked at him sympathetically and he dumped another pile of napkins on top of her. I started laughing hysterically as the napkins flew away and Michael went off chasing them. Celestine took that time to get the napkins off of her and calm the situation down. Michael came running back with the loose napkins and started wiping her skirt. I laughed even harder now. Celestine was trying to make him stop.
"Michael. Michael. I'm fine. Please don't." She said, "Michael calm down. Michael!" He finally looked up.
"I'm fine. Just stop." She said. He stood up straight and his face was just as red as his hair.
"Now, Michael, do mind escorting me to Kohl's?" Celestine said. Michael nodded and she smiled. She grabbed her purse and they walked back into the mall.
"Wow... What the actual fuck." Calum said. I giggled and took another sip of my coffee.

We left a couple minutes later, to go find Michael and Celestine. We went to Kohl's and saw Michael sitting on a stool smiling.
"Hey Mikey. What's going on?" I asked. He opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted.
"Michael. Come here." Celestine said. He smiled and willingly got up.
"Does it look good?" She asked.
"Yes perfect." Michael said. She giggled and he walked back out.
"What did I just witness?" I asked.
"Sexual things." Luke said beside me. I scrunched up my face in disgust. Soon Celestine came out with a black pair of skinny jeans and a lingerie set in her hands.
"What is this?" Trina asked in disgust. Celestine just smirked and then looked at Michael who smirked back. God this was disgusting.
"Holy shit this is weird." I said quickly. I turned on my heels and started walking out of the store. I heard footsteps run up behind me. Ashton ran up beside me and I smiled at him.
"Why do you always follow me around?" I asked looking at the ground. He looked at me.
"I already told you. I'm attracted to attractive people." Ashton said. I smiled and continued watching my feet. I looked up at Ashton who was staring at someone. I looked over and I saw him. Staring back at me. The terrible person I'd hope to never see.
