"No." Ally stared into Drew's eyes as he kept trying to change the subject. "Drew, I know 'naked bungee jumping' was not number 3. I know it was a shopping day. I know you are wrong."
"I really, really don't think so Angel." He would not give in.
"I'm serious Drew. I am not going naked bungee-jumping. I am not doing it."
"And I am not going shopping."
"Yes. Yes you are. If you want to please this sick child then you will come shopping with me. Believe me I don't want to go shopping anymore than you do, but I need to buy some awesome stuff to distract the eye from my balding head. Okay?" She would not release his gaze.
"Ugh.... Ugh..... UGHHH. Fine. FINE!!! You're lucky you're a beautiful girl, because you are very, very good at manipulating people. Ugh." She smiled, and leaned back in her chair, crossed her arms showing off her pride.
Ally took Drew's hand, grabbed her wallet, and jumped into the driver's seat of Sam's car [he knew she was borrowing it for the day].
"Why... Why? Why??"
"What?? Why what??!!"
"Why do girls love shopping so much?" They were stopped at a red light.
"You know, Drew. I have no bloody idea. No clue."
"Then why are we doing this?"
"Because I am a female, even though I don't act like it a lot of the time, so I should at least pretend to be one. Ya know?" He nodded. They were silent. Drew turned on the stereo and changed it to 'Alz's tunez' on channel 3.
"Alz's tunez? With a 'z'? HA HA HA HA HA."
"Shut up I was 12... And I have not been bothered to change it since..."
'Lullaby', by Nickelback began to play. She quickly changed the song.
"No, wait. I wanna hear that..."
"No ya don't."
"Angel stop. Yes I do." She let go of the dial, and he put the song back on.
She started getting goosebumps. He started getting goosebumps.
'Shit.'
'Shit.'
She slowly trying to be as discrete as possible, she pulled her sleeves down.
He noticed, but stayed silent.
After less than a minute he changed the channel and 'What Makes You Beautiful' by One Direction began to play.
"HA HA. You like these guys?" He wanted to forget about that had just happened for the moment, and he knew she did too.
"Yes. Yes I do; so if you are about to dis them you can get out of my car now."
"Nope, I respect these fellas, but I'm not a huge fan."
"Fine, fair enough." They were silent while she tapped on the steering wheel.
"YOU DON'T KNOW YOU'RE BEAUTIFUUUUUUUUUUUL!!!" They both stopped. And stared. She slowly turned towards Drew who had just belted out the chorus at the same time as she did.
"HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA." The two of them were in stitches laughing. The song came to and end, then the next song was by Ben Howard, and that finished, then they pulled into the parking lot of the shopping centre, and they were both still giggling.
It was 6:30pm, so the sun was setting, dragging a beautiful orange-pink trail behind it.
They got out of the car and with wallet in her left hand and Drew's hand in her right, Ally walked into the mall and headed straight for the food court.
