Shopping

The picture is the outfit you wear today - you can choose which one and then just imagine a jacket on top ;) Enjoy :)

It was a warm Tuesday morning on the 5th of July and my phone showed 11:30am as I scrolled through Facebook. A notification popped up on the screen. Arthur liked your profile picture. I smiled and clicked on his page (totally not Facebook stalking). As I scrolled down the page page I found a picture of Arthur with a younger boy standing next to him. It looked as though they had been hiking and they were standing on a large boulder, smiling and waving down at the camera. 'I wonder if that's Peter' I thought.

A message from [F/n] popped up on my phone.

[F/n]: Sup [Nickname]! Do you want to come shopping with me, I'm sooooo bored!!!! xxx

I smiled at the message and remembered that I needed to go food shopping anyway, since my parents were both away for 2 weeks on work trips.

Me: Sure, I need to go food shopping anyways ;) Where do you wanna meet? Xxx

I stood up to stretch as I waited for [F/n]'s reply.

[F/n]: I'll wait outside the shopping centre entrance, the one with the balloon arch :) xxxx

Me: Kk, see you there. Will be there in about 15 minutes xxxx

[F/n]: Yay! See ya soon ^-^ xxxx

I grinned and walked downstairs, grabbing my jacket and sitting on the stairs to tie my shoe-laces.

I was glad I lived only a short distance from the shopping centre; it was only a 5 minute bus drive. As I stepped off the vehicle, I spotted [F/n] waving excitedly at me from the entrance. "Hey [F/n]!" I beamed at her and pulled her into a hug. "I'm so glad you could come, it's so great to get out of the house! And now you can tell me about your singing lesson with Arthur~" She grinned as we linked arms, sauntering into the shopping centre. I rolled my eyes playfully. "Ah, so that's why you wanted me to join you," I poked her arm as I spoke. [F/n] laughed sheepishly. "I did want to go out with you anyway but, yeah, I can't resist talking to you about it," She squealed and pulled me into a clothes store.

"Wait, I thought we were going food shopping?" I asked her suspiciously.

"We are but I just wanted to buy a cute outfit while we're here." Her eyes shone excitedly and she ran into an aisle of pretty clothes. I sighed, knowing there was no dragging her away and decided to look at the reduced section. As much as I hated clothes shopping, I could never pass up the opportunity of finding a bargain. After about 10 minutes of looking, I heard [F/n] calling for me and I waved to her. She came over just as something on another coat-hanger caught my eye. "Ooh, I see something I like," I said as I reached over to get the item.

"Is it Arthur?" [F/n] giggled and I gave her a 'Really?' look. As I picked up the item we both gasped at how pretty it was. It was a black flowery summer dress which was reduced from £20 to £5. It also happened to be my size. "Awesome! I was looking for a new summer dress!" I exclaimed happily, heading towards the checkout with [F/n].

This is the dress :)
