We got home and I was so tired I went right to bed and slept in Will's clothes. I woke up at four the next morning to my phone buzzing in the pocket of his sweatpants. I pulled it out and checked my texts. I had gotten one from Will saying, I can't sleep, I keep thinking about you. I smiled and typed in, Get some sleep. But I fell back asleep before I could hit send.
I woke up again at seven and got up like normal, went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and I saw myself in the mirror. Then it hit me that what happened yesterday was real and that I have someone who is probably thinking about me that very moment. Then I thought about how that was kind of creepy, but I knew it was Will, so I laughed a little to myself.
When I was done brushing my teeth I checked my phone and texted Will and apologized for not hitting send. When he sees that I texted him that, I am sure he would smile.
I went downstairs to watch the "Pretty Little Liars" episode that I had recorded because I had missed it the night before while I was at the party. I was just about to find out who Charles was when I got a text. I thought it was "A" at first, then I realized that I was not in the show and I relaxed a little bit. I wasn't fully relaxed because I was thinking that it could be Will. I checked my phone and then let the rest of my body relax because it was just my friend Becka.
Becka and I had been friends since middle school, 6th grade. When I found out we were locker neighbors I wasn't absolutely thrilled because I had hated her in elementary school. We didn't even go to the same school but she was in my dance class and I thought that she was the biggest show off ever. I had told her that when we became friends and she told me that she didn't like me in elementary school either because of the same reason. We laughed about that for a while, we still laugh about it now.
Becka texted me to ask if I wanted to go shopping with her later. So I finished the episode and found out that (spoiler alert:) Charles was Jason's brother. I could kind of see that coming though. I went upstairs and changed into skinny jeans, a blue t-shirt, and I was going to wear my brown lace up boots except for the fact that they were still a little sticky. So I decided to wear my converse.
Becka picked me up at my house and right when I got in the car I told her all about what happened the day before. The whole way to the mall she was asking questions about Will and she asked if me and Will were ever going to see each other again. So I told her about how he still had my dress and how I gave him my number. I also told her what he texted me this morning. She just kept squealing and telling me that what happened was the cutest thing ever.
When we got out of the car and we were walking up to the mall I noticed a bright pink car and I showed Becka and we both laughed.
We shopped around for a while and made sure to visit our favorite stores and stop by some other stores on our way to our favorite stores. After stopping at Forever 21 and Urban Outfitters we were already pretty tired and hungry so made our way over to the food court.
Chinese food is my favorite. I searched around for Panda Express. I had remembered it being right next to McDonalds. But when I looked it was a Burger King. I looked on the food court sign to see if they had moved it but according to the sign, what was then Panda Express, is now Burger King. Nobody was even in the line for Burger King, nobody likes Burger King! So I just joined Becka in the line for Subway.
Subway obviously wasn't my first choice but it wasn't bad either. We ate and talked about college and our plans for after school. I was accepted into a lot of colleges but most of them were pretty far and I couldn't decide which one to go to. Becka said that she thinks she is going to go to the University of Minnesota-Duluth. She isn't completely sure yet though either.
After we ate we went to few more stores and decided to take a little break and sit on a bench. Then I spotted something familiar. I could recognize it from anywhere. The smile, Will's smile. He was with Ryan, he said something to Ryan and started walking towards us and I just sat, stared, and smiled. Becka nudged me and asked if that was him. All I did to answer is nudged her back.
"Hey Bea!"
"Hello Will."
"Hello cute couple." Becka said to herself
We both just looked at Becka and laughed.
"This is my best friend, Becka."
"Nice to meet you Becka. But Bea, let me get this straight. I'm not your best friend?"
Becka intervened, "No you are not. I would change your label to boy friend."
"Becka!" I shot a look at Becka. "I'm sorry Will. My friend here was saying that... we were just leaving."
"Bea! I still want to go to Wet Seal!"
"Your fault Becka." I laughed. "I'm kidding."
"I would gladly go to this Wet Seal place that you speak of with you guys. I could even help Bea pick out a new dress that doesn't have a red stain on it. If they have dresses there... I'm clueless." That's Will for you.
"You can come but I am not letting you buy a dress for me."
"Good luck with that Bea."
So we went to Wet Seal. I found a really cute top and Becka probably tried on half of the store before she found something that she liked, that fit. Will was in the dress section the entire time trying to find a good dress for me.
While I was looking at the shorts Will came up behind me and wrapped his arms around me from the back and held a dress up to me. It was the most beautiful dress I had ever seen.
"Will it's beautiful!"
"Just like the person I am buying it for."
"Will." I scolded with a smile.
"I even asked Becka what size you were so I could find one that fit."
Becka stuck her head out of the fitting room when she heard her name.
Becka gasped. "That is the prettiest dress ever! Go try it on!"
So I did, and it fit. It was perfect. A floral print slip dress. Except it was 30 dollars and I didn't want Will to pay for it. I took it off and found Will. I handed it back to him.
"I can't take this. Thank you very much though."
"You are very welcome."
I saw him take the dress up to the front and talk to the cashier. He turned around and smiled. He handed the cashier the dress and she put it behind the counter with a smile on her face.
When Becka finally picked out her clothes and went to the front I took Will out of the store and asked him what he did. He just stood there and smiled his dorky smile. He is so stubborn.
Becka made her way out of the store and made me and Will stand next to each other. She pushed me toward him a few times and finally he grabbed my hand. Apparently he isn't that stubborn.
