DAY TWENTY-EIGHT OUT OF THIRTY ONE.

January 8, 2015.

DAY THREE OF 'LOCKDOWN WEEK'.

3:00 pm

ARABELLAS POV

"Arabella?"

"Are you Matt Dillon?"

"Who's that?" I sigh and close my book,  closing my eyes.

"It's my other boyfriend, don't tell Nick." Of course Matt Dillon isn't my boyfriend, as he's fifty and doesn't know I exist. I may watch GIFS of him in the outsiders over and over, but hey, a girl can dream.

"I need to ask you something, can you please let me in?" Grays voice was shaky.

"Uh, yeah sure." He opens my door before walking in and closing it. He was defiantly nervous.

"What's up bud?" I pat the space next to me, setting my book down as Gray crawls onto my bed.

"What's wrong with wanting to be a girl?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. Why do you ask?"

"I think I want to be a girl." Gray starts playing with his fingers.

"Is it what you want?" I ask grabbing his hands, hoping for Nick to come in.

"Yes." I nod, hugging the nervous boy.

Nick walks in, smiling in his stupid hat.

"Take that stupid hat off, you look idiotic." I laugh and roll my eyes. How someone can look so cute while wearing the ugliest clothes?

"Nick!" Gray smiles, hugging the boy who had just walked through the door.

"Hey buddy, how's my favorite Mitchell doing?" I scoff, Nick smiling at me.

"Arabella is dating Matt Dillon." Nick looks at me, raising his eyebrows.

"Matt Dillon huh? Isn't he fifty now?"

"On a scale from one to ten." I mumble, laughing at my joke.

"Just like you." he kisses my forehead and sits on the bed. Gray sits next to him, shaking a little.

"Hey, you okay?" Nick turns to him.

"Can you guys take me shopping, for my new clothes?" I nod and stand up, groaning at the sudden dots taking over my vision.

"Yeah, your sister can use more clothes." Nick takes my hand, following Gray out the door.

"Where are you guys going?" My mom asks us as we get downstairs, pushing something into the oven.

"The mall, Gray wants new clothes."

"Don't let Gray third wheel, you guys go and I'll take him." Nick laughs at what my mom said, but follows the orders anyway.

👫

"I say you buy these." Nick holds up a pair of underwear that looks like a pair of grandma pants.

"No! Help me pick out a pair of pants." I groan, smacking the pair of underwear out of his hand.

"Okay, okay, what about," he starts looking through the racks, screaming "found some." When he found a pair of pants.

"These?" He holds up camouflage pants, causing me to squint my eyes.

"What- I don't see anything." He shakes his head at my joke, putting them back and searching again.

"What about these?" He holds a pair of pants up, which were actually cute.

I ended up buying them and then we were off to another store. Nick wanted to go to some shoe store so he can buy new shoes.

"You're more of a girl then me." I say as Nick picks up a pair of black Nikes, inspecting them carefully.

"Sorry I want to look nice for my girlfriend." He rolls his eyes and sets the shoe down, turning to me.

"You already look nice." Nick smiles and wraps his arms around my waist, hugging me tightly.

"I love you so so much."

"I love you more." I kiss his cheek before pulling away and grabbing the ugliest shoe I could find.

"I say you buy these." I mock him, holding out a pair of minion(the devil) crocs.

"Wow that's so funny I almost forgot to laugh."

"Wow that's so original I almost forgot you were in fourth grade." I set the shoe down, poking Nick's cheek.

"You're lucky you're cute."

"What are you gonna do?" I laugh, walking down the row of shoes.

"You don't want to try me honey, it won't end up well."

"I really think you aren't going to do anything." I tease, looking at the boots.

"Try me."

"I would love to see you try, Nick."

And before I knew what was going on, Nick had me pinned against a wall in the back of a shoe store.
